Dropped by each day during our visit to Dubuque! Great hand-crafted cocktails (including 0 proof), super helpful staff, plus an eclectic and approachable list of wines you won’t find anywhere else. HIGHLY recommend- and tell them Wrigley sent you.

The environment is relaxed but upscale, and it’s very clear that the owner has a dedication to his craft. Excellent selection of wines, and I’m particularly fond of the cocktail menu, which looks to change seasonally. I didnt try any of the snacks but they all looked delightful.
