Grand Opening Thursday July 1 with the Mud Morganfield Band

A newly remodeled bar has opened at 1708 State Street, Bettendorf, in the space formerly housing Hal's Wagon Wheel. The Muddy Waters is owned by Kristy Bennett, a long-time Quad-City resident. The Muddy Waters will feature Open Mic Nite on Thursdays, free live music with local and national blues every Friday and a variety of genres every Saturday, as well as Rock Band and Karaoke on Sundays.

The grand opening of The Muddy Waters will be Thursday July 1, when the son of the legendary blues icon Muddy Waters will perform. Mud Morganfield and his band will travel from Chicago to christen the bar. The show starts at 8:00 p.m., and admission is only $5.00, including appetizers while they last.

The new bar is only three blocks east of the I-74 bridge, close to the bike path, and on the route for the Loop buses. The Muddy Waters is open 365 days a year; hours of operation are 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 2:00 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

The Muddy Waters features three pool tables and large-screen TVs. Drink features include $2 domestic bottles (always), a variety of martinis and blended drinks, and import and domestic beers including locally brewed offerings from Bent River Brewing Company and Great River Brewing Company. There is also a separate room perfect for office parties or a small reception.
