Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Diamond Jo Casino Event Center

301 Bell Street

Dubuque, Iowa 52001

Located in downtown Dubuque’s Port of Dubuque, the venue is approximately 90 miles from Cedar Rapids, IA, and about 180 miles from Chicago, IL. Its riverfront setting makes it a convenient entertainment stop for locals and regional visitors alike.

• Parking: On-site parking garage and surface lots are available; parking is generally free for guests.
• Public Transit: Dubuque’s Jule public transit system serves the downtown area, with stops near the casino.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, pass security, and settle in — or grab food and drinks at on-site dining spots like Woodfire Grille, The Kitchen Buffet, or Mojo’s Sports Bar. If you’re attending a sold-out concert or a popular comedy night at the Mississippi Moon Bar, the extra time helps you beat the rush.

Most of the experience is indoors, but parts of the walk from parking to the entrance can be exposed to weather. Dress for the season and consider a coat during colder months. The campus is generally flat and accessible, though you’ll do some walking between parking, the casino floor, and event spaces.

If you’re coordinating with a group, choose a clear meet-up point — the main entrance or just outside the Mississippi Moon Bar — before the crowd arrives. Rideshare pickup zones near the entrance help keep your exit smooth after the show.

Venue Navigation

Diamond Jo Casino Event Center is designed for easy movement between entertainment, dining, and gaming. The Mississippi Moon Bar anchors the live show experience with a main floor, balcony, and VIP suites, while the Harbor Room and Cherry Lanes provide flexible spaces for private events and bowling parties. Elevators and ramps connect public areas for accessible navigation.

You’ll find concessions and bars serving local craft beers, specialty cocktails, and seasonal items during shows. Restrooms and merchandise stands are available during major events, and ATMs and charging stations can be found throughout the casino. Comfortable footwear is a smart choice if you’ll be exploring multiple areas before and after your event.

Security and Policies

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive early to enjoy on-site dining before the show.
• Step outside for quick riverfront views in the Port of Dubuque.
• If you prefer elevated views, consider balcony seats at the Mississippi Moon Bar.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it by booking dinner at Woodfire Grille for prime steaks and fine dining, or keep it casual at Mojo’s Sports Bar with pub fare and game-day energy. If you’re here for a concert or comedy show, arriving early lets you enjoy a relaxed meal before heading into the Mississippi Moon Bar.

For groups, plan your flow: meet at the main entrance, grab drinks at the bar, and make your way to your seats 15–20 minutes ahead of showtime. If your evening includes bowling at Cherry Lanes or a private reception in the Harbor Room, confirm your schedule and meeting points so everyone moves easily between spaces.

Don’t miss a quick stroll outside to take in the riverfront setting — the Port of Dubuque is a scenic bonus to your entertainment plans. If you love a great vantage point, the Mississippi Moon Bar balcony offers excellent views of performances.
