Being in a college town I automatically expected there to be just basic beers on the menu, but the bar offered a variety of different craft beers. I have to say I was very impressed.

Gotta love a top shelf whiskey selection.

I've never had a sandwich, soup, salad or pizza here that was not top line. And the beer is always cold. The Sports Bar location has been a downtown saloon since my granddad was just a young pup. It's seen numerous transitions, but never lost its regional charm and happy heart. The current iteration's food is small town bar and grill at its best!!! I see a couple many years' old negative reviews here on the big Y. They can be safely ignored. If you are passing through Manchester Iowa, Blue Collar Sports is a reliable purveyor of food, drink, fun, and generations of memories.

Atmosphere was kinda like an updated sports bar with new pool tables in the back and plenty of large screen TV's to watch sports on. Our server was friendly and prompt.

It could have easily feed 3+ people. It tasted awesome. Crust was perfect. I had to get a to-go box. No way could I eat that whole pizza. My brother's meal looked amazing.

AlleyCatz Grub House in Denver Iowa, is for sure a place to experience, they hit it out of the ballpark. 1st went to this place 3 years ago with Brother Bill, it was good back then and today, even better. Prices are reasonable, food is great, huge portions for the price. Best of all, the servers. Attentive, and totally professional. Clientele was a balanced mixture of young and old, all friendly. If you ever find yourself in this area up here, hit this place up. read more

I can't comment in the food, because after how long we'd been waiting, and how many times our server messed things up, we had to leave to get back to our conference at UNI. We finally had to request to get our orders in to-go boxes, and when they arrived at the table, half of what we ordered was missing. What was in the to-go boxes was pretty much the ingredients just hastily thrown together. It took our server TWELVE MINUTES (!!!) to total up and prepare the bills for five small orders. It's the first time I left a restaurant on an empty stomach, and we had been there for an hour when we left. Our server and the manage repeatedly reminded us that it was only that servers third day on the job. That doesn't excuse taking twelve minutes to ring up orders, leaving half the items off our orders, and it getting to the point where a party is so frustrated that some opt to go hungry and leave rather than wasting even more time waiting around. The incompetence of our server was sobering, I'd rather have had someone cold and curt over someone who obviously could not handle the job. There were only seven other tables when we were there, how will she handle is when it's a packed restaurant on a game weekend?? I hope that if others experience this poor of an experience from this server, that management gets it that she's probably just not a good fit for working in a restaurant. Lastly, we were offered 10% discount cards for if we came back. That felt kind of insulting. After some of us not even getting our food, and the extraordinary, sustained dysfunction of our server, they should have at least offered a complimentary meal card.
