Excellent service, delicious food. This place is an absolute staple. If you’re looking for a beer and a bite, stop looking and swing in.

A sensational little gem of a place especially if you have a dog. Dog friendly, gluten free friendly, great service, fabulous outdoors patio. Great drinks. Love it and highly recommend.

Dive bar with good food and good service. Best onion rings I’ve had in Iowa.

We went for a late-night dinner and received quick, friendly service. The cocktails were delicious, especially the blueberry mule and blueberry cosmo! All the food was really good for pub fare, but the tenderloin was a bit of a letdown. It was breaded in a way that reminded me of fish and chips, which wasn't what I expected but wasn't terrible.

If you are looking for your local, locals only dice bar, this place is it. This wasn't my first time here, and most likely won't be my last. Solid beer list with local options, diverse diving options with the common fare choices, and plenty to watch and be entertained by

We were there during a very busy night, The Indiana Fever were playing and we all love Caitlin Clark. Melinda told us there was going to be a spot opening up. She is always a class act! Malea is our waitress and she too is a class act.????

Food was good. A bit greasy but good for Bar food. The place was very Dark and actually felt like a hole in the wall. Nothing to crazy that made it stand out from the other places. Not sure where the photo of the place was taken at when I did my review but I did not see a patio just a dark bar

Parking: Not a ton of parking from what I saw unless there is a back lot somewhere
