They told us to seat ourselves. We sat outside. No one came to take our order after we sat there for a while ... And they were not busy. I could see them hanging at the counter...
Excellent cocktails, a relaxed vibe and unique decor! Well worth a visit!
This place is a total gem
I adore this spot! I've been here a couple times for coffee and crafting with a craft group. We love it here! Great coffee, a chill space, and the staff are so friendly! Highly recommend!!
Lovely atmosphere and great drinks. Have really good staples and their seasonal options bring something new. Enjoying meeting friends here or coming for an evening with the Scrabble board.
Great bar atmosphere and fun drinks. The service is best at the bar if busy as they don’t come around to tables much. I had the Aubrey 2 mock tail, which was good. I really enjoyed my friend’s affogato espresso drink.
I recently visited The Green House, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, with perfect lighting and great music that wasn’t too loud—perfect for conversation.
The staff was welcoming and attentive and the bartender was exceptionally skilled, crafting some of the best cocktails I’ve ever tasted!
What really stood out was the attention to detail. From the creative drink garnishes to the cozy seating arrangements, it’s clear that The Green House puts thought into every aspect of the experience.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a night out with friends, a date night, or even just a relaxing solo drink. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
One of the best bars I've ever been to! They are always having unique community events, have a fantastic drinks menu - including a list of N/A drinks and everyone is so kind! I highly recommend to anyone visiting or who lives here locally.
Iowa City is so lucky to have this place!
The owner, Emily Salmonson (sp?), has created an inviting and cozy neighborhood spot that easily transfers from coffee hangout to classy bar.
You're telling me I can bring in outside food and get a cheap ($4) and delicious rose lemonade while soaking in their atmosphere? It's been so fun to get to know all of the bartenders too; they're attentive and make you feel at home. Claire (red hair) and Emmie (longer brown hair) are standouts, though everyone who works there rocks. Emily knows how to hire people!
I've been to two wedding receptions here, and multiple book clubs and other community events. Bring your sketchbook, homework, a friend, or the corners of your mind, and be surrounded by good energy. A bastion !
Not a fan of the red headed bartender! Was rude the entire time and a bit lazy.

Custom drinks are pricey but are specially crafted, so it makes sense. Excellent place to meet with friends and be able to hear each other, or just read a book. Very accommodating to game nights, and they organize their own game night with games and snacks on Wednesdays!

Best atmosphere in town! The lavendar mimosa was one if the best I've ever had and the bloody mary had a nice smokey tase. Definitely coming back.

The lounge has a really pretty theme, the drinks were good, but the bartenders were unpleasant. They made the atmosphere uninviting and hostile by making jokes about Gen X while talking politics. I wouldn't recommend or go back.

My favorite bar in IC! Excellent drinks, atmosphere, staff. The owner, Emily is a ray of sunshine. Thank you!
The best cocktail bar in Iowa city. Everyone that works here is so incredibly kind and talented. The cocktails are the best I've ever had in IC. If you're going to see a movie at Filmscene it's almost a crime to not stop by and get a pre or post movie drink. Few things cure a bad day like ordering a Ripley and sitting on their patio.
