We went to The Chart Room for the first time yesterday to have a drink to celebrate our anniversary, and we had some of the best drinks we've ever had! A very unique menu, very knowledgeable bartender, and cool atmosphere with music. Everything is handmade, creative, and so good. We each had 2 different cocktails, and they were all outstanding. Will definitely be returning!

This is a great cocktail bar! The cocktails are well mixed, and the bartenders are very knowledgeable about their craft. These are high end cocktails. Tell the bartenders what flavor profile you like, and they will make a drink that you like. Highly recommend!

I was cruising through Google looking for a fun spot in Iowa City, and The Chart Room popped up with glowing reviews. Let me tell you — those stars are WELL earned. I trusted the people of the internet, and for once, they absolutely delivered!
From the second we walked in, it felt like we had boarded a luxury cruise ship... minus the seasickness and with way better drinks. Speaking of the drinks — they aren’t just poured, they’re performed. Lights, smoke, color, drama — it’s like Hamilton but with tequila. Every cocktail was a showstopper. If the drinks had an encore, I would’ve stayed all night!
Massive shout-out to our server Reina, who was basically the cruise director of this wild, wonderful adventure. She kept the good times rolling with killer service, lots of laughs, and some kind of drink ESP where she knew exactly what we needed before we even finished saying it. Seriously — give this woman a trophy.
Bottom Line: If you're even thinking about where to go in Iowa City — stop thinking. Go here. The Chart Room isn’t just a bar; it’s a whole vibe. Google said it was amazing, and for once, Google wasn’t lying. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a full-on standing ovation from me!
(See you soon, Reina — I’ll be the one demanding a drink with extra sparkles.)

We decided to go to Chart Room for some happy hour fun. The staff was friendly and provided great service. They have lots of options for customers with all sorts of tastes. I tried a bourbon flight and enjoyed it very much! My wife had a mixed drink and loved the unique flavor. I hope more Iowa City folks will check this place out!

Pretty cool little peace. Would've been 5 stars for service if one of the two bartenders would've had any personality what so ever.
