Backpocket Dubuque

"We threw a surprise party for my husband’s 30th birthday & Backpocket made it so easy! The event space was clean and beautiful. The food was amazing! And the service was incredible! I definitely recommend checking out Backpocket for any upcoming events you might have!"

"Great experience hosting an event in the large event space. Good food, really nice space, friendly atmosphere and staff. Only complaint is they add a 20% “large party fee” tip to the final bill. If we had a dedicated server taking and delivering drink orders or doing something to help keep tables clean then I get it. But literally the only thing done by staff is setting the food out. Other than that, 100% recommend Backpocket for events."

"Booking the small event room was a perfect space to celebrate my golden birthday with a small group and little ones. The games, food and drinks were great and the friendly staff were helpful with all questions and requests. Definitely keeping this and the other spaces available in mind for future events!"

"I feel like whenever I visit Dubuque these days this is where I end up. My friends and family like to come here and I can see why. There's a decent drink selection (If I had my way I'd lower the number of sours and balance it with more cider options) and plenty of seating. The arcade and games are fun too. Some may not work but that's par for the course. I give Dubuque and Backpocket a lot of credit because most of the bars in Dubuque are the same thing with a different name. This place shakes it up and shows that it's okay to add a little more. 5 stars from me!"

"Great beer selection. I'm not too busy in the bar, but it's hard to find parking in the area due to other shops/stores. It gets busy in the evening. Lots of arcade games. We had a small wait for duck pin bowling, but it was too long. This duck pin is elevated from the standing area, which made it a little weird, but we enjoyed our game."
