Tequila.
 

Tequila is your typical bar that is trying to keep up with the masses. Settled in the heart of downtown - Tequila struggled against the developers to keep its doors open. The dive bar's patrons fought hard and started a petition to keep their favorite Friday night spot. In order to stick around, it was required to get a massive face lift. It houses a large dance floor, fully stocked bar, pool tables, tons of vibrant artwork, and a dj ready to play whatever the patrons are feeling that evening.
 

  
 

 

 

 

 

Stargazer Lake is the biggest summer spot in all of Eldridge where many of the wealthier families spend their summers in their vacation homes. Most residents take day trips to the lake to rent boats, kayaks, paddle boards, and any other equipment for all of your aquatic activity needs. The town hosts many events at the lake including bonfires and cookouts. We might be biased, but at night you have the most picture perfect view of the stars (Duh! How else would it have gotten its name?!) being as it’s far from the hustle and bustle of downtown. There’s no such thing as a bad time at the lake and there isn’t a single person in town who would turn down a day trip to be out on its beautiful waters.
 

 

Boxcar.

Boxcar is the town's bar-cade. The business allows patrons under 21 until 8pm and then it is considered adults only. There are several classic arcade games, an entire room dedicated to pinball machines, a few bowling lanes, a menu to order appetizers from, and a fully stocked bar. On weekends they have live music on their large patio and on Sunday’s from 10am to 2pm they have bottomless mimosas. Boxcar loves their fur patrons as well, meaning they’re pet friendly! Four legged friends of all shapes and sizes can hang out with you here - as long as they are friendly and well behaved!!
 

 

The boardwalk is home to several different activities and is a staple in Eldridge. Here you can find several carnival rides, mini golf, games with prizes to be won, food trucks with any type of cuisine you could ask for, a tattoo shop, and various different touristy stores. Residents and guests both frequent this attraction, but it is the typical hang out for highschoolers. Many of the residents have a deep nostalgia for the boardwalk - having grown up there. During the summer the Mayor puts on a magnificent firework display every other week that you can see from here.
 

 

  Bite Delite.

Bite Delite is the oldest hangout in Eldridge - being founded in the 80’s. Residents typically have a self assigned booth they always sit at. This is a place where you and your server are on a first name basis. For being a diner style restaurant, the food is phenomenal. Normally, people are ordering from a long list of specialty burgers (they have burgers of the WEEK, crazy right?) but there are several different options to choose from. Chicken, Salads, Pasta? Bite Delite has it all! Don’t get us started on the milkshakes - they’re to die for.
 

Lucky Strike.


The business that attracts the most tourist’s to Eldridge is Lucky Strike - a casino. Whether you want to try your hands at slots or the card tables, you’ll have your opportunity here. If gambling isn’t your thing, feel free to grab some food or hang out at the bar. We hear they’ve got some great refreshments! The younger of the two Eldridge brother’s owns the popular spot and has his security tight locked - don’t even think about trying to count cards here!
