Ahh the Busted Life, This place is all right most of the time. I don’t really like going here on a weekend, which means I pretty much don’t at all anymore. Really though, for what it’s worth there is always a good beer around here. They keep plenty of millstream around and the Guinness is well tended to. Sometimes they get interesting belgians around but the staff seems to have a general reverance for Delerium Tremmens that I don’t so much understand. I tried to order one once and they told me they didn’t have it, I knew damn well that they did but if they want to keep that stuff around for themselves I’ll take another millstream! They have live music which is usually pretty good. I really dig the down in an old basment atmosphere, and last time I went they had the resturant up and running again which was fantastic.

Have been here several times over the past few years, and only once have I enjoyed myself. It is usually quite full with ridiculous cover charges (live music venue). Once inside, there are 10 taps including Millstream (which in itself is worth checking out, I like Millstream). The outdoor seating is pretty bad.

Nice pub in the basement in one of the old areas of Dubuque. Decent selection and good music scene.

Irish pub in the re-emerging Old Main District of downtown Dubuque. Named after the old non-functional elevator which was once used in this old pillow factory. The pub is in the basement of the building and has nice limestone walls. 10-12 beers on tap including selections from Millstream and Old Capitol Brew Works and Public House. They often also have a belgian on tap and a few others which can be hard to find. It is close to the Bricktown Brewpub, Julien Inn, and the riverboat casino.
