Darkbird Taphouse

Just a short drive from Dubuque in Peosta, Darkbird Taphouse punches well above its zip code with 20 rotating craft beers on tap sourced from regional and national breweries. The upscale bar fare — think beer cheese pretzels and Nashville hot chicken — and live entertainment lineup have made it a destination in its own right, the kind of neighborhood taphouse worth going out of your way for.
