Manning's Whistle Stop Reviews
A cool place in Clinton. Needed a quick bite to eat after clinching US 30 across Iowa on a recent road trip, and I'm glad I stopped in. The food and drink were good, and the bartender Amanda was very friendly and pleasant. Judging from some of the previous visitors' photos, this looks to be quite the local haunt for many, and it's not hard to see why. Not necessarily the most appealing place from the outside, but aren't those always the best places to go once you're inside?...read full review
I can't say enough about this place. We were on a group motorcycle ride and decided to do a random stop for some drinks just as they opened. Sarah and Nate were awesome very friendly and extremely helpful. If you are in the area, I would recommend this stop.
Friendly staff, clean bar.
At the time we were the only people there but I heard daytime hours are busiest.

Manning's Whistle Stop is a charming small town bar with live music and a friendly atmosphere. The owner serves as the server, bartender, and maybe even the chef, providing excellent service. The food is delicious, with no complaints from anyone in the family. Prices are reasonable, and the drinks are good. While some regulars may seem unwelcoming to newcomers, the experience overall is highly recommended for anyone passing through Iowa. It's a great place to stop for lunch with family or even on a birthday party bus.
