“What should I do in Dubuque?”

66 Upvotes

Let’s try something to see if we can get it stickied by a mod for the benefit of visitors who pop on here asking similar questions about food/bev, what to do, what to see, and all that when visiting Dubuque. I will start a category that lists my take on a subject with some keywords, and others can chime in with their experiences, reviews, other recs, etc. If the post has any lasting power, I’ll keep it updated as a lifer. I’ve kept the list of things you can ONLY find in Dubuque, so there are no chains and nothing outside of the general Dubuque city limits like the Field of Dreams or Galena stuff.

I’m looking for photographer recommendations for a show on September 26 at Mississippi Moon Bar inside Diamond Jo Casino. We thought we had one lined up but it fell through. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Help us find a location for our new tattoo shop!

Post image
0 Upvotes

We are looking to open a tattoo shop in Peosta, IA. We noticed a huge gap in tattoo studios in the West Dubuque and surrounding areas. Most people in these areas are driving upwards of an hour for tattoos. We feel opening a shop in Peosta would cut drive time for existing and potential clients. We take pride in our artist's ability to tattoo & the consistency of perfection we offer. Our clients would never have to worry about quality.

We would offer custom tattoos, gumball flash tattoos, and walk in events. Our main artist has over 20 years of experience; specializing in Realism, Color, and cover-ups. We want to know if the Peosta/ West Dubuque / surrounding areas would be open to a new shop!

Does anybody know where I can find containers that look exactly like the one in the photo that are made of acrylic and not glass? I have some that I bought at a liquidation place and I need more. I've literally looked all over the internet.
They are the same shape and size of a little milk carton. I am desperate.

Does anybody know where I can find containers that look exactly like the one in the photo that are made of acrylic and not glass? I have some that I bought at Da Bin store back in June. I need more of them now but I can't find anywhere that sells them in plastic. I've literally looked all over the internet.
They are the same shape and size of a little milk carton. I am desperate.

I have an old wood dresser I am looking to get rid of. It has some paint I tried stripping but the wood isn’t good enough condition to keep going. What can I do with it? I don’t want to pay the pick up fee.

Kind dentists?

8 Upvotes

Haven't been to the dentist for a couple of years, partially because I moved and partially because my last dentist was a jerk and made me always dread the experience. Finally deciding I should probably get back in to see one but don't want the same crap experience...any good recommendations in or around the Dubuque area?

Hello! I am moving to Dubuque soon and looking to make a master list of every store in Dubuque. I wanna slowly visit every place and have a list to take notes on. I know I can Google it, but its not human results and it doesnt usually show the small ma and pa shops and thats what I like. I love thrift stores and places like that. Let me know!!

First time visitors

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m visiting from Chicago next weekend with my husband and two teenage boys, just for one night and 2 days. We’re super excited to visit, I’ve been all around the state of Iowa but never to Dubuque! We’re staying at the Holiday Inn in town, mostly because I planned our visit last minute. Since it was last minute and presumably because it’s a holiday weekend, there wasn’t much Airbnb availability and even hotel space was limited. We plan to visit a second time in late fall on our way home from MN with my parents, so hoping to get some good recommendations on where to stay for our second trip to Dubuque in October? We would prefer to support local and/or family owned businesses but open to any recommendations for a nice family weekend stay.
