About Galena Nightlife

After business hours, Galena offers visitors a number of choice spots to unwind and relax with their favorite type of entertainment. Quiet conversation and business deals find settings at places like Spike's Bar and the Green Street Tavern, located in the historic and elegant DeSoto House Hotel. Fine cocktails and wines hold sway at Blu Bar and the Grape Escape. Cravings for microbrews and the latest sports news can be sated with a visit to Dubuque's Bricktown Brewery or Gobbie's Sports Pub and Eatery. Groups of coworkers and friends mingle, celebrate or simply catch up at casual Benjamin's, located in one of Galena's historic buildings, or at lively Frank O'Dowd's Irish Pub, which prides itself on its authentic interior. For those craving something a bit different than the drinking and dining scenes, a show by the Main Street Players Theatre company may be just the ticket for an enjoyable evening. -- Aubrae Wagner, Associate Editor
