“This is definitely a small town hangout for the locals it seems. It was our first visit, but everyone else that came in was clearly a regular and greeted by name. That's not easy to find in bigger places!

Our food was really tasty. There's nothing too fancy on the menu. Basically typical Midwest bar food, but it's well executed. Service was prompt and friendly.“

“My boyfriend and I shared the elote corn cauliflower, I ordered the sprout sandwhich with side of potato salad. He ordered the chopped gyro cheesesteak with side of beer cheese soup- Everything was absolutely amazing. The beer cheese soup absolutely blew me away. Potato salad perfect ratio with the egg😍 My sandwich didn’t come with cheese ( unsure if it even does ) I added my own from home so no biggie, it was amazing but expected more dill spread. All in all, it was a treat for us with price but we will definitely be back!!“

Lil Grove Dive Bar Bar •
1010 2nd Ave SW, Cedar Rapids - 6.12 miles

“I went here with some friends for a puzzle night and we had a blast. The food was great, the drinks were even better, and the bar owner was a hoot. It may be a limited menu but just get the smash burger and I promise you'll be happy. Yum.

The bar was pretty packed most of the night and there was only one bartender working for a few hours so be realistic about how long it's going to take to get your orders if that's the case. One person can only do so much! Service picked up significantly when the second bartender arrived, too.

The facilities were clean, the acoustics weren't too loud like some dive bars can get, and did I mention the smash burgers? I will definitely be going here again.“

2nd Avenue Corner Pocket Bars • $
609 2nd Ave SW, Cedar Rapids - 6.39 miles

“Good service... The atmosphere or vibes in there feels a bit ghetto, but I personally dig a more low-key casually dressed place after work on a Friday night. And, obviously, if you like to play pool, this is your spot. They've got several pool tables. Fried bar food will run you roughly $9 regular price before tax. A double shot of Jose Blanco cigar me $6 I believe and a shot of Patron runs $10. I think my margarita cost about $5 or $6 as well. The two lady bartenders were easy to conversate with.. not over the top hyper or snooty. They handled that bar crowd Friday night with ease - just cool, calm, and collected ..no sweat! Pretty good bar tenders, those two knew their stuff & were attentive for the most part. So I personally like their service and staff members are clearly trained well. I prefer the dark sweat your tail off grinding with hot guys all night or a group of your gal pals sort of bar scene, but that's probably because I would choose dressed up over casual and I don't play pool. 🫶“
