11 Best Sports Bars in Ames

“Hilton Coliseum is an amazing place to catch a game. I saw a girls’ basketball game there, and everything was incredible, from the atmosphere and energy of the fans to the seating and overall experience. Definitely a top notch venue for sports events.“

“What a great place to shoot some pool and have a beer! Great staff, great ownership. Let’s play some pool!“

“Checks all the boxes. Best place in town.“

“Dave Slade Trio were great!“

“I went to BNC for first time today and was very impressed with the service. Every employee I encountered was polite and eager to assist.“

“Awesome!! Now, I know why this was featured in some tv shows. Serving was huge, it's good. But of course since I lived in Texas a while back, I have tasted the best BBQ. So this would not pass my brisket, and for currently living in Omaha, I have tasted the best tenderloins in Iowa since we can just drive 5 mins to Iowa. Their ribs are really good, I'm not a fan of ribs, but this was definitely the best that I've ever tasted, and the corn bread is our favorite!“

“Best Sports Bar and Grill in Ames!“

“friday night is trivia night“

“I’ve been here a couple times and I have mixed feelings. First time was great, service was great and food was good for price. This recent time the server was good, although my friend wanted a water and we had to remind her a few times until she finally brought one. I also got a burger and while I was chewing I pulled a hair out of my mouth. Unfortunately, that was not ideal and I did not finish my food but they did comp my meal. I would come back for the atmosphere and a meal but maybe make sure the staff is more cautious of food prep“

“Well this is a surprise: I had the best buffalo chicken wrap of my life. Fresh, crisp lettuce, perfectly sauced chicken, the right amount of shredded cheddar cheese, and I exchanged ranch for Bleu cheese dressing, which was on the side. If unwrapping it wouldn't have been unseemly, I'd have shown you inside. I opted for sweet potato fries, but took most of them home because I enjoyed the wrap so much! My other party had the whisky burger and regular fries, and he was happy too. Our server was attentive and quite friendly, and that's awesome because she had the bar and other tables to help. I've been to Whiskey River before, but this visit was a standout. Thank you for making my day!“

“We can always count on Applebee's for consistency. Food was steaming hot, fresh and tasty. Store seemed a bit short of staff, but might be employees lunch time, too. One thing that needs attention is the glass near and on, the front door. I was a bit nervous that we had found the one Applebee's that wasn't up to par, but I was wrong, clean the glass spotless and that's solved.“
