The J Bar Davenport,

4215 Elmore Avenue, Davenport, IA 52807

"Was there for my birthday and had an appetizer and a drink before going out. The jalapeño fondue with pretzel chips was delicious. When we got back we stopped for a drink before closing time. The bar tenders couldn't have been cooler and were very accommodating. I will definitely be coming back any time that I am in the area!"

"Had a great experience here. We’ve been several times and always enjoyed ourselves. We were a party of 7 and the server was able to take care of us really well! Good and drinks were great!"

"Fantastic food and great service! The atmosphere is nice too. My only complaint is that they charge $8 for a glass of Root Beer! No alcohol in it and not a Root Beer float. Just soda. I think that is outrageous! Soda prices are not listed, so just be aware."

"Nice laid back lounge vibe. Blue lighting really sets the ambiance for a relaxing and quiet evening out. One of the only upscale places in the area and open late, conveniently connected to a hotel if you’re from out of town or want a nice date night. Though we got the fondue which was good but the bread seemed oily tasting, we were told the cheesesteak egg rolls are to die for. Drinks we’re good. The starry night was a bit confusing as served in a martini glass but missing a shot worth of a drink on top. Also could use much more edible glitter. Overall a good place and great spot for a quiet night out with a hot date!"

"I saw some of the food pictures from J Bar on google maps and thought they looked good. That's literally the only reason I decided to come here. I had no idea they were attached to a Holiday Inn, not that it would have put me off of coming. Speaking of being located directly adjacent to a Holiday Inn, I was very surprised at the size of this restaurant. There's not only a sizeable outdoor patio, but the interior dining space is pretty massive and varied. There's some seating at the bar, high top table immediately adjacent to it, then about two fairly large rooms of normal table seating beyond that before the restaurant transitions to the hotel. Greyish tan ceramic tile lines the entire floor of the space, while lighting is supplied from a combination of recessed and suspended fixtures, as well as a multi-color changing thing in the ceiling above the bar. All the furnishings seem new and modern with the overall ambiance of what would be expected from a relatively new hotel bar. For my food, I opted for the herbed fries and the tavern burger. I thoroughly enjoyed both. The burger was just a solid burger, one you might enjoy in many other bar settings. The herbed fries, however, I'd come back for many times. One of the things I liked about them the most was the truffle ketchup. Many times I order truffle fries when I'm out, only to regret getting them immediately after due to too much truffle seasoning being used. With the truffle portion of things in the ketchup, however, it was far easier to control the amount of truffle funk applied to each fry. The added pesto oil and other accoutrement on my fried potatoes were delightful additions that were subsequently also not overpowered by truffle. The service and overall atmosphere was fantastic throughout the meal. My bartender checked in numerous times and was always quick to refill my drink. Between the three TVs present in the space and the relatively quiet music, I enjoyed the relatively low sound level throughout my visit. I'd definitely consider coming here again, perhaps to try other things on the menu. It feels a little strange to visit a restaurant attached to a hotel, but it's good enough to overcome that small discomfort. Thanks, J Bar!"
