If they are still the same owners its pretty obvious. Just a nasty dive bar

I'm a huge fan of the Octopus. Phenomenal atmosphere, drinks, and music. Definitely a more mature crowd - be on the lookout for your professors!

Octopus is a bit of an institution: following in the footsteps of places like Steb's and Pour Richards. Dave is a huge supporter of local and regional musical artists of all shapes and sizes. There's always a cheap beer for those with just a few bucks in their pocket; and plenty of crafts for a few bucks more. They recently expanded their space adding some food items in the process. Popcorn is always available for those with munchies. Lots of regulars for sure. Guests should feel welcome. If you don't bump into a friend...you can quickly make one at the bar. Thank you Octopus for your continued commitment to The Hill and the local/regional music scene.
I drive an hour from Cedar Rapids just to come here for shows. Love this place!

I can say with confidence that this place is always a vibe. For college hill it’s nice, especially if you like the more indie/alternative scene. With live music and events, partnerships with local artists/food trucks (la Calle), there’s always something interesting happening down here. Admittedly the regular crowd on slower nights can feel a bit odd, but overall this is a good place to relax and enjoy a cheap Hamm’s.
Parking: Parking can be tight on a busy night, but the hill is pretty walkable.
