Very laid back and convenient sports bar. Friendly locals and cold beer and good food. Try the burger with green beans on it. Really good. Our waitress (a recent addition to IA from MN, i forget her name) was lovely, honest and very nice. A great team member. The other servers we interacted with were also really good. We will be back for sure. Great atmosphere as well.
