Along HWY 67 in Le Claire there are many historic buildings which are now shops/taverns/restaurants. Sneaky Pete's is probably the most interesting of these as it was formerly a whore house in the 1800's. However, if you decide to eat at Sneaky Pete's don't wear a tie unless you want it cut off as they are not permitted inside.
