Paul’s Burger Stop
Keep it classic at Paul's Tavern—a no-frills burger stop known for cold drinks, solid bar burgers, and walls covered in “Big Game” taxidermy you have to see to believe.
Pro tip:
The burgers are cooked on the same countertop Broilator they’ve used for decades, and locals swear the double cheeseburger is the move.

Rainbow Lounge Karaoke
Finish the night at Rainbow Lounge, Dubuque’s beloved late-night dive where the karaoke gets louder as the night goes on, the drinks keep flowing, and somehow everyone ends up singing by closing time.
Pro tip:
take in the retro neon glow and old-school dive bar charm, it's like stepping into a perfectly kitschy time capsule.
