Reviews
While staying in East Moline, IL with two other couples, we visited Mississippi River Distilling Company in LeClaire, IA and sampled some of their whiskeys. My favorite was the Cody Road Barrel Old-Fashioned Whiskey, but they were all delicious. This was such a fun addition to our vacation itinerary. The decor is light and airy, and the atmosphere is fun and friendly. I would definitely visit again and I highly recommend it if you're ever in the area.
Our favorite is The Dude but they always have a great selection. A great place to sit out on the patio and a bonus - there is often live music (weekends). From the patio you can view all modes of transportation - trains, planes (sometimes), automobiles and boat on the river. I love that they share their recipes so you can pick up the fixings and make at home. If you get a chance, sign up for the tour, do it! It's very interesting!
Both the LeClaire and Davenport locations are wonderful! The service is always amazing! The outside patio in LeClaire is always excellent with a great view of the Mississippi providing an unmatched ambiance. The drinks are always fantastic with a unique selection of craft cocktails made with their finely crafted whiskey and sprits. Well worth a date night or special occasion. Servers are always happy to make suggestions based on what your tastes are.
The drinks were absolutely delicious. There was a lot of staff and they made sure we had everything we needed. When we came in they had live music. It was a nice touch. It also looked like they had outdoor seating that was heated and enclosed.
Had an amazing Pomegranate Smash smoked with cinnamon. Nick was a great personable mixologist. Although I probably annoyed him, he was nice enough to give me some attitude back. Great environment that some people older than the foundation it sits on drinking in it.
