Frick's Tavern

Frick's Tavern, a historic building in Davenport, Iowa, has been a vibrant part of the local community since its establishment in 1872. Known as the oldest bar in Davenport and the second oldest in Iowa, it has served various roles over the years, including a bakery and barbershop. The tavern became a social hub for the German community in the area and has been family-operated for generations. The building showcases Italianate architecture with distinctive features like bracketed eaves and flat-arched windows. After a significant renovation in 2016, it now includes a full-size commercial kitchen and an upstairs barroom, making it a unique destination for both tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
