I went there because I heard it was a fantastic vibe. And let me be clear the two bartenders were awesome, they were very attentive and nice! However, I was recommended the most expensive cocktail and it was horrible, I think I had maybe three sips of the champagne part (2 part cocktail) and a sip of the main before asking for a new drink. I wish I had gotten it off, or i'd even happly pay for the champange part bc I did have a few sips, bc it was a 17$ cocktail, which is insane for what it was. But in full transparency, I could have advocated harder for it off. What just really sucked was that 5 kids came in and went to the bar—like 10 years old. Which normally I would have nothing against a place for, bc that’s not there fault but the parents, but I swear I heard one of the kids call a staff member dad and grab her things form the back of the place—so yeah, then I hold it against the place. It’s a bar, it’s a more adult place. It’s a Friday at 7pm…If i'm wrong about it being connected to someone there than i happily change my view! which hopefully is the case.

The coffee drinks, tea, kombucha, and craft cocktails are all fantastic! If you are looking for excellent cocktails in iowa city, THIS is the spot! The bartenders are true craftsmen with the drinks. The atmosphere is adorable too!

This place has such good vibes, always get great service here! Such yummy and well crafted cocktails, an interesting spread of beers, and of course kombucha straight out the tap!

Looks like you have a good business. It would be nice if you would pay the people who do repair work for you. You have refused to return phone calls and texts and lied when asked about payment. Is this how you treat all of the businesses that perform work for you?

Can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town

One of the best places in Iowa city to go and hang out socially! You can be a social butterfly and talk to new people, or decide to sit in a corner and work on some writing.

Visited for the my first time recently - fantastic spot and drinks! I tried a kombucha and a cocktail, both were very nice. Atmosphere was also lovely. Kind of place that you can gather with friends to hang or just read a book. Nice for a cold night. Note they also have games.
Staff was also really friendly. I’ll be back!

I purchased two growlers of Kombucha. They have really good kombucha but it is very expensive! Two growlers refill, $42.00 and tha included a discount. Nice people.

Stopped by for a kombucha while doing a long drive from Illinois to Colorado. Tried the yuzu & lemongrass which was great! Nice vibes & friendly bartender!

Hands down the best cocktail bar in Iowa City. Honestly, I think these guys were the only bar I visited who could actually make a proper whiskey sour. The bar tenders are great (Micky is a hilarious) and they keep a really chill vibe into the night. Overall great place in a great location serving even better drinks.
Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly during the daytime. Probably not the best at night
Best darn kombucha west of the Mississippi and a great vibe. Great addition to the Northside.

MULTIPLE award-winning cocktails, and with a Devil-may-care attitude. If you're on the hunt for a locale that defines the Iowa City cocktail experience, Wild Culture is where it's at.

What a lovely find for an after dinner cocktail. I had the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and it did not disappoint. The vibe was mellow and chill, and the bartender was lovely.

We stop into Iowa City on our journeys across the country and always look forward to popping into Wild Culture for kombucha. Ever since the pandemic on our first visit, we have always enjoyed the service and quality. It's great to see the business come along.
