Bowl Dogs is a very nice addition to the community here and provides some needed entertainment…read moreoptions. I went to Bowl Dogs for happy hour and bowling with a group of friends and we all found that there were good food and drink options (including going to the attached Pizza Ranch, if you'd like), and had a good time bowling and trying out one of the unique bowling games. We didn't use the arcade, pool tables, or axe throwing, but I like knowing those are options as well.

My friends and I had a great time at Bowl Dogs. This is the second time I've been here and I find…read morethe establishment clean and fun. There is so much to do here that anyone in your party could have a good time. I think the staff is kind and approachable. The food from the bar is fine, and probably what I would expect from a bowling alley (they really need to improve the salsa). Of course, if you want some more choices, you can just walk over to Pizza Ranch as it is connected to Bowl Dogs. There are also darts and pool on the mezzanine level, but I did not play those (yet). This is a very great addition to North Liberty.

Iconic live music bar. Legends of all genres, near and far, have all played this unsuspecting dive…read moretucked into downtown Iowa City. Two levels and a courtyard. Come early and stake out a spot front and center for your favorite band. Cool, intimate experience buuut that means it also gets crowded quick. Haven't had a problem with sound or service. Great spot to catch a killer show at an affordable price.

Who doesn't love Gabe's?…read more Reasons to go to Gabe's: 1. Uh, live music. Duh. (Peep their website for an up to date calendar.) 2. Staff is pleasant. 3. Beer garden. 4. Multiple bars (upstairs & downstairs) with cheap drinks. 5. It's fun. (And they get some good bands to play there!) Reasons Gabe's probably isn't for everyone? It's dank and dirty. The bathrooms are kind of gross. They sell cheap beer (hi, Hamms and PBR)-- you're not getting a craft cocktail here. But like, when you're going to see Smile Empty Soul or a Lil Peep Cover Band-- do you want your music venue any other way? I came Saturday to a concert. I danced my butt off. No complaints or regrets here! Love that Gabe's lives in IC-- stop by for a Pabst or a show.

However, skip the chips or ask for them not to charge you for them, they were so soft that we could fold them into paper animals like origami.

It's definitely preference but The Green House has my favorite espresso martini! Strong in both coffee and alcohol so it's a sipper! Less chocolate and more chai and coffee. I've also loved their shrub beverages and perfect to get some snacks from there or across the street at New Pioneer Coop. Bartenders are always nice and helpful. Quicker usually to go to bar to order

CAMP is a great addition to the Iowa City bar scene…read more Tucked away down a well lit alley lives this new IC gotta-try. It oozes Midwest charm with camp, cabin and time in the woods vibes. We came in on a Saturday and had the entire spot to ourselves. (It's open Wednesday through Sunday 7-2AM.) Of course we had to try their specialities! The S'more Shot was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. The Camp Water was super tasty... and a steal at $8 for the fish bowl! The waffle fries were recommended by the waitress and they did not disappoint-- I love how well the toppings were mixed. You got a bit of cheesy deliciousness with each bite! Pricing is on point. Selection is limited (it shares a kitchen with Scouts Honor, next door). Staff was insanely knowledgeable and professional... especially for a brand new establishment. The space is small and well decorated-- definitely a spot you want to hang out at! I'd recommend parking at the Clock Tower Ramp, it's just a block away. Pop in for drinks at CAMP today!

OUTSTANDING…read more Absolutely a great place. Fresh, made from scratch food exploding with flavor. This is a must place to stop. Full bar, a dozen beers on tap with great menu. This is not bar food. We had: Turkish Cigar Rolls, Peruvian Chicken Tacos, Buffalo Chicken Sliders. Fudged Brownie, with mint. Turkish Cigar Rolls.............nothing to do with Cigars. Light & crisp finely chopped mixed herbs surrounded in crunch. Peruvian Chicken Tacos.......taco like you've never had before. This was the flavor explosion. This is were the made-from-scratch kicks in. A must have. Buffalo Chicken Sliders...........nicely balance with homemade buffalo sauce, well placed pickel and a fresh bun. We were stuffed, but then we needed the Brownie. Wonderful. Then we added a bit with the mint leaf............say good night, the perfect night was over. Friendly, fun service in a great environment. Light background music so you can have a conversation. BUT............there is a DJ booth to fire it up for a great Friday / Saturday night. Highly recommend this place, jus try it....you will love it.
