Davenport advice please

Its been many years since ive lived in the area but sneaky petes in LeClaire, IA was a good place to eat. as far as stays there use too be a motel/hotel that looked somewhat like a castle cant remember the name,maybe someoe local will.

 

Not sure what you like, but we stayed at this radison( http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wllast)  last fall/ winter. Its right down town, lots of resturaunts and bars to walk to. We went to the figge art museum too. The Casino is just a couple of blocks away.

 

I've been to a few shows at the Rock Island Brewing Company (http://www.ribco.com/) in the Rock Island District (http://ridistrict.com/). It's a ped mall area with a bunch of bars and clubs. There's a casino or two a couple of blocks away. We stayed at a hotel that was a couple of blocks away. Either a Marriott or a Sheraton. Not sure what kind of entertainment you're looking for but this might be an option.

that casino is no longer there. But they are land based now right off of highway 92. there is also a casino in bettendorf and davenport both with hotels. isle of capri and rythem city. the isle in bettendorf is really nice. In fact we may be eating there the night of the show with the speakers.

 

if smoking makes a difference the ones in Iowa are smoking and the one in Illinois is non smoking for your info.

 

If you like pizza, you will want to make a trip across the river to Illinois to a place called Harris Pizza. There are a lot of knockoffs of this place now in the Quad Cities. There are even now pizza places in Las Vegas and Chicago that are advertising "Quad City Style Pizza". They are styled similar to Harris. Don't get dressed up to go there, though. Very casual, but great pizza.

 

The castle place is Jumer's, but I haven't been there for a really long time, so can't say anything about condition, etc, or if it's even still there.

 

There's a Shogun Japanese Sushi/Hibachi restaurant in Davenport, that's probably where the wife and I are heading after the show.

 

jeremy the osaka is much better. Plus i spend time in both kitchens due to my job and osaka is much cleaner. it is also in davenport close to the theater

 

will be nice to only have to drive 5 miles lolol cant wait
