Gatsby Cocktail Lounge in downtown Davenport plans to open a daily, rotating spot for food trucks called Gatsby’s Food Court.
Jay Jensen, owner of The Gatsby Cocktail Lounge, said the food court will be located in the flat, outdoor space behind the lounge. The spot will have rotating food trucks and hours, including daytime and evening hours. The backyard space can comfortably support three food trucks at once, Jensen said.
The space has already hosted some food trucks, Jensen said, and will open officially sometime this week, though he has not determined the exact date. Last week, Gatsby’s Food Court held a “soft launch” with two trucks, he said.
Downtown Davenport has a limited number of restaurants open for employees looking for lunch spots, especially spots with short wait times, Jensen said. Gatsby’s Food Court aims to help workers with shorter lunch breaks, and also aid Quad-Cities food trucks looking for business.
“We’re trying to make sure we can accommodate the downtown market,” he said.
Jensen is in talks with Ken’s Ribs & More, La Duena, Bonbon’s Tacos and other eateries to serve at the outdoor spot, he said.
Jensen will post food truck selections, hours and other updates to the Gatsby’s Food Court Facebook page.
