The Sanctuary Pub

Best mac and cheese and grilled cheese around. I'm a vegetarian , but supposedly the lamb burgers are incredible. Also get some beer on tap or old fashions. Favorite pub in Iowa City by far.

Best tap beer in the state of Iowa, full stop. Try Bell's Two Hearted, Fuller 's ESB, or Rogue Dead Guy - all first rate drafts . Good hands-off service at the bar ; they stay back and let you drink.

Great place! Not too many young college students . Great beer , sit by the fireplace and enjoy!

Get the Bufala Negra cocktail . No really. Do it.This bar has a fantastic beer selection and great atmosphere just off the beaten path. Don't miss it.

Sanctuary: Is a Comfortable and Cozy Place. It's Like, wearing your favorite cotton flannel shirt or, sweatshirt, Absolutely Splendid. FABULOUS!!!

The name fits! This pub has been my mainstay. Pleasantly snarky staff , excellent small plates , great beer selection .

Monday is Pint Night - imports for $3.75. Love the crowd in the back room that night too - you can show up alone and leave knowing at least 3 new real friends.

If your looking for a chill place this is deff the spot. Comfy chairs by the fire place and great service

Definitely recommend... 2 doz specialty beers on tap and a n unique menu at reasonable price. Eaten her twice and liked it both times

Cozy on up to the bar and have a conversation with your bartender . Not only are they kind, but they really know their drink selections.

Wonderful beer selection , but pricey . I'd say go during happy hour but its a mediocre happy hour with only $1 off. There are better deals in Iowa City than that

Best beer selection in town , best atmosphere. Good people , good music and no God damn T.V. sets! I love it here.

Try the Buffalo Negra cocktail . It sounds weird, but is amazing. They do have Templeton Rye , but it costs $12 a drink. Yikes!

Come on Tuesday or Saturday night to see the best bartender ! His name is Josh

great beer selection , good pizza .

Best draft list in town . Food is just OK.

Try the Valpolicella - great table wine with just a hint of sweetness!

If you have no idea what beer to start with, go with a Rogue Hazelnut Brown.

An Iowa City standard - stop by for great music , quiet ambiance and tasty crabcakes !! Read more

Great beer list . OK food.

Interesting variety of sliders here. From burger to pork to crab to fish .

If you want to order a drink of scotch , get two! The servings are TINY!

PB&J is awesome

They do not serve pbr here. I thought this was a beer emporium.

Service has gone down hill , expect a 20 minute wait for your drinks. To bad because the beer selection is the best in Iowa City.

Great pizza !

Introduced me to Buffalo Trace . They win.

Tip your staff or I'll beat you silly.
