The Running Iron is a lively and fun bar that caters to a laid-back and easy-going crowd. The atmosphere is great, with grounded folks and no nonsense, making it a low-key gem. The bartenders are attentive and dialed in, providing solid service that invites customers back. While the bar may lack a diverse snack selection, it offers a special drink called "Prozac" for when the popular Peanutbutter Screwball is unavailable. The establishment features a variety of games, including pool, darts, pinball, Jenga, and shuffleboard, perfect for competitive and playful challenges with friends. However, some customers have expressed disappointment with the temperature of the beer and the high price of a Coors Light bottle. Additionally, one reviewer noted that a bartender's excessive use of perfume caused discomfort. The bar is clean, and the respectful crowd makes it a great stop to pause, reflect, or connect. Parking is located behind the Running Iron, with a lot that is easy to miss if unfamiliar with the area, offering about 20-30 spots in total.
