An era came to an end Tuesday when Pat's Place, the nation's last themeless restaurant, closed its doors in Dubuque. 'We achieved a certain local notoriety for our unique non-themed food and unadorned atmosphere,' said owner Patrick Baines, 'but sales were sluggish, as most people would just come in to gawk at our photoless walls and mundanely named menu items like 'hamburger' and 'pancakes.' Then they would head over to the Rainforest Cafe, Hard Rock Cafe, Planet Hollywood, All-Star Cafe, Johnny Rocket's or Disney Cafe down the street.' Once vacated by Baines, the building will become home to Dubuque's seventh Paddy O'Touchdown's Irish Sports Bar & Good-Tyme Internet Grill.
