Overpowering smell of urine! Pizza is decent though.
Best coffee in Iowa City. Ask for Todd to brew it. Delectable!
Before I start this review, I want to state that I have been in the service industry for over 5 years.
Now for the positives, the venue has a rather large space (compared to the competing bars). They also have rather affordable beverages.
Moving to negatives (which is why they are rated 1 star). The service was absolutely atrocious. I went to the bar and informed the bartender that I had 6 drinks to order. He said that's an overload and would need two trips to complete the order. So I gave him my order and he brings me three drinks and a tab at $27 which was the total for the 6 drink order. I proceed to wait roughly 30 minutes while he looks me dead in the eyes and does nothing about the remaining 3 drinks he did not provide. Then he tried to take the ticket for the full order before I was given the drinks (I did not sign it and grabbed it out of his hands). Also, while I was waiting for the proper service I was looking for there was another employee (apparently a manager from the information I was provided by another employee) who further exemplifies why the establishment deserves a low rating. There was a polite and nice young lady next to me who ordered a round for her group and asked for salt to pair with her order. The employee, Male, at the main bar, who wore a black hat backwards, long black hair, and was roughly 27 years old proceeded to grab the salt shaker and slammed it in the young girls face and had a negative posture and attitude towards all the guests. I also noticed him spit in a drink for another guest which really left a foul taste in my mouth.
Overall, I would say this bar could do so much better with the facility they have. The employees were awful and besides the door men and shot girls this place we a true mess.
nice pub where you can have many alcoholic drinks for fair pricesIt's always crowdednice service
Fun place to get a drink
As the night goes on, this place gets packed. Standing room only. Go early for a good time, stay too long and you'll be squeezing through the crowd.
Fun atmosphere and birthday deal is to die for. 20 pitchers of beer for $40 the entire week of your birthday.
There will be a lot of undergraduate students. Just fine for a drink, but not really my type of bar.
For what they do. Not bad.
Solid music, lots of TVs, and a great deal for pitchers on your birthday.
They could really use a remodel though - the restroom and some of interior design is getting old.
