I've only been twice, had the peanut butter burger each time. The food is impeccable, I didn't think I'd like peanut butter on my burger, but now I almost crave it. It can get really really loud as it is pretty much a wide open space with open ceiling and tile floors, and nothing to absorb or deflect sound, and combine that with imbibing some of the best Iowa beers, well the volume can get distracting. Other than that, it is a great place to enjoy some craft beer made here in Iowa.

Enjoyed the overall vibe and food at The Iowa Taproom! We had apps, dinner, and dessert, and each was great. The sweet potato fries and honey mustard were highlights! I wish they had a few more NA options for folks who don’t do alcohol but love to try different taps.

The Iowa Taproom is a pretty good spot. We have been there several times. The food is good and they have several beers to choose from. The only downside is that it gets pretty loud. That makes it difficult to talk to the people you are with. They have plenty of televisions for watching whatever game you are looking for.

By far 1 of the BEST beer bars I've been to! The service was spectacular, and so was the food! The honey Sriracha dip for the steak egg rolls was the perfect amount of heat and very well balanced! My salmon salad - fantastic! And those wings were really good also! Beer selection - wow! 120 beers on tap. This place was huge! There are no booths from what I saw from where we were sitting, but they had plenty of seating when we went at 4pm on a Fri afternoon. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu and beers! Samples of beer are free! They have 4 or 5 beer flights you can choose from, or build your own. Starting price is $14. If you're not into beer or cider, there's also liquors for mixed drinks.

I quite enjoyed this place, the food was very good, the overall atmosphere of the establishment is nice and they have a pretty wide selection of drinks available to suit anybody. The new grievance I had when I visited was the time it took to be served drinks and to have our order taken, but considering they were fairly busy that night I can't say I'd hold it against them. Parking was somewhat limited in the area. As far as dining here goes, id definitely recommend and would definitely dine here again myself.

Definitely a Iowa Hotspot this place had the whole bang I enjoyed every moment they were extremely busy but the staff had the place on lock they were very attentive, friendly and social despite the traffic I had Keg creek,Moongold apricot, wheat with apricot beer very good! for dessert I had Bread pudding,Served with vanilla ice cream and bourbon caramel sauce. It was to die for it definitely had grandma running for the kitchen, the only thing it was missing were the raisins which are honestly more of a personal preference. I will definitely be visiting this establishment again in the near future! A must visit if you are in the area.
