“Ah, a night at the Electric Thread Social Club - it's like stepping into a speakeasy meets art gallery with a soundtrack of good vibes. My wife and I had an absolute blast there, thanks in no small part to the fantastic atmosphere and, of course, the delightful manager, TJ. Cheers to TJ and good libations: TJ greeted us with a warm smile and a contagious enthusiasm that instantly put us at ease. My wife, the Cosmo connoisseur, was equally impressed with the creative cocktail menu, and my old fashioned was so perfectly balanced, it felt like a hug in a glass. Beyond the Drinks: But the Electric Thread is more than just a place to quench your thirst. It's a social hub, buzzing with friendly chatter and laughter. We struck up conversations with fellow travelers, sharing stories and recommendations like old friends. The atmosphere is electric (hence the name!), but not overwhelming - it's the perfect blend of lively and laid-back. A Sensory Feast: And then there's the space itself. Exposed brick walls adorned with local art, cozy nooks bathed in warm lighting, and a charming outdoor patio overlooking the millrace stream - it's a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds. The bar top is a poured bit of history with cogs an tools encapsulated in gallons of crystal clear epoxy! Very cool! Memorable Moments: We left the Electric Thread that night feeling recharged and connected. It wasn't just the great drinks and friendly faces; it was the feeling of being part of something special, a shared experience that left us with warm memories and a desire to return. It was a nice and short walk back to our room in the hotel! So, if you're looking for a place to: Sip on expertly crafted cocktails and local brews Soak up the buzz of good conversation and friendly vibes Discover hidden gems in the Amana region Meet someone as awesome as manager TJ Then look no further than the Electric Thread Social Club.

“I love this place. It is the true definition of a "Tap". If you're being loud and obnoxious the bartender will tell you to shut up and drink your beer. Truly reflects the people of Swisher. Hard working good people. You don't drive into Swisher like you're in Las Vegas. Blinded with bright lights that blind you. Black Squirrel and surrounding businesses in Swisher reflect the people. Not a want to be North Liberty.“

“We tried it after seeing mixed reviews online about service and quality of food. The food was actually better than expected. I got the Truffle Mac and Cheese pizza and it was a hit and filling. Everything turned out as we hoped and the service for takeout was very kind. Seems like the bar has plenty of space and activities to keep yourself busy. Would recommend and be back when we are in the area.“
