Went here for trivia . Fun and challenging but not too hard. Good food and drink specials $20 all you can drink cans (in 2 hrs) and $1 tacos

Is this heaven? No it's a Hawkeye Bar !! Drink it here and cheer on the Hawks , Raygun shirts are also welcome! It should be mandatory for all live musicians to know the Iowa fight song.

A solid place to watch a game and grab food. When every other place in the area is at capacity, you can get a table or spot at the bar here.

Half off all food and drinks on Tuesdays. All of their appetizers are tasty.
