Definitely worth a stop. The owner/bartender was great and they have big variety of craft beers! If your not into those...they have domestics- Busch, Coors, etc. I found a peach beer that is my new love! 🧡 Check them out!

We have been multiple times and love this place! Great selection of beer, toys for the kids to play with (Lego wall!), and lots of space to spread out and relax. We also love bringing our own snacks and food for both adults and kids!

If you find yourself in Oelwein, Iowa, and you're in search of a vibrant spot to unwind with friends, look no further than the recently renovated taproom nestled in the heart of downtown. This gem of a venue is not just a place to grab a drink; it's a revitalizing force in the local community.
What sets this taproom apart is its dedication to showcasing the best of local breweries. With an extensive selection of craft beers sourced from nearby breweries, patrons are treated to a true taste of Iowa's brewing scene.
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a private party at this taproom, and it exceeded all expectations. The staff graciously accommodated our group, allowing us to bring in a local caterer to complement the libations. It's this flexibility and attention to customer satisfaction that truly sets this establishment apart.
One of the highlights of the space is its lounge area, where plush couches beckon weary guests to sink into relaxation. And if that weren't enough, a striking buffalo mounted above the fireplace adds a touch of rustic charm.
Whether you're a local resident or just passing through, the taproom in downtown Oelwein is a must-visit destination. With its diverse selection of local brews, inviting ambiance, and commitment to community engagement, it's no wonder this spot is breathing new life into the downtown area. Cheers to good times and great beer in the heart of Iowa!

This place is beautiful and the service is amazing. Very upscale bar. The only thing I would change is they need a pool table. Otherwise great drinks and service and gorgeous place.

In a small town it's hard to find a bar with a light open atmosphere, Ampersand has it!! Great space, lighting, and energy flow. Always rotating beers for new ones to try while also testing new cocktail variations.

Great selection of beer, seltzer, and mixed drinks! Wonderful remodel of this downtown building and great addition to the downtown food and beverage scene.
Great new location. Someone has invested a lot of money into this location. They sell a lot of IPA and other craft beers but do not brew any of their own. We were not there to eat but i don't think they offer any food options.
