Unwind with Wines Worth Savoring

An elevated lounge experience rooted in Downtown Moline

Pop the Cork is a locally owned wine lounge in the heart of Moline, offering a space where you can relax with a glass in hand and feel right at home. Located at 1500 River Drive, just steps from John Deere Commons and the Mississippi River corridor, the lounge brings together rotating wine selections, curated charcuterie, and live local entertainment. It's not a typical bar—it's a destination evening you'll want to repeat.


When you visit, you're greeted by a warm atmosphere that feels refined but never stuffy. You'll find wines chosen for their character, pairings that make sense, and a vibe that encourages you to settle in. The experience is built around giving you options, whether you're here to try something unfamiliar or return to a favorite pour.

Pop the Cork welcomes guests from across the Quad Cities metro with the same approachable energy every time. Expect a knowledgeable team, a setting that feels elevated without pretense, and an evening shaped by what you're in the mood for.


Visit the lounge, explore what's pouring now, or check the calendar for upcoming performances.
