They decided bar should be closed by 1:30, we immediately booked an uber. Went to the restroom before we entered the uber (women understand) and were then greeted with the entire staff making disappointing comments. I understand they're supposed to be a "local" bar, but they are just blatantly rude for no reason. Not happy.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We ended up at Pullman Bar & Diner three mornings in a…read morerow during our trip, and honestly, it became one of the highlights of our weekend. Every single thing we ordered felt fresh, thoughtful, and just really well done. My kids were obsessed with the chocolate chip pancakes (which says a lot), and my dad and I worked our way through a few different dishes. The biscuits and gravy were comforting and rich without being too heavy, and even the simple eggs were cooked perfectly. But the standout? The breakfast tacos. They were insane. The pork was seasoned perfectly, super flavorful without being overwhelming, and everything just worked together so well. Also, do not skip the fresh squeezed orange juice or the local sourdough with homemade preserves. You can taste the difference. It's one of those places where you can tell they really care about the ingredients. Service was warm and easy, and the vibe just makes you want to sit and stay a while. We'll 100% be back if we're ever in Iowa City again!

Definitely one of the coolest places in Iowa City to hang out with all the college kids and wild partying folks. The one problem that we had with the Fieldhouse was violence! There were some absolute punks trying to make trouble because there was the beauty queen of the century dressed like a glamour model (swoon swoon swoon), and she was with a guy that looked like a short Latin Prizefighter (as in, a mismatch to superficial types, she was a foot taller than him) and these very aggressive tall punks apparently thought she was too good for him so they tried to start a fight by touching her and making inappropriate comments and insulting her boyfriend. So I had to come in between them and I got smacked for my trouble. I helped to prevent a really bad fight and then the police showed up and they tried to arrest both the punks and the boyfriend and the hot girlfriend. So I had to explain to the police that I had no relation to any of the people in the fight and that there were really only one set of instigators and the other ones were just trying to defend themselves. And that she was molested. In the end I managed to talk everyone down with the help of my good friend the police officer and nobody got arrested but it was some really messed up stuff. The cop was either going to arrest everyone, or nobody. So it was better for everybody that nobody get arrested. You're welcome, cutie and cutie's bf. Call me. But yeah, the crowd in here - insane. Wall to wall, sea of people, like sardines. Loud and crazy. Sometimes even playing good music. Sometimes.

On holiday from the UK but got good old American racism. Female security guard on Thursday accused…read moremy friend of harassing her and threatened to call the police because he to get in the club. He left his ID at home but had proof on his phone (several clubs let him with his ID on his phone on the same night) but not physically, he asked to teoce get in a polite and calm manner but yet she somehow, she was accusing of him of "harassing" her and threatened and to call the police for absolutely no reason. He then went home to get his ID to returned to the club, I came out to speak to him and I got kicked out for no clear reason aside from speaking to him. I had my ID, I was sober and did absolutely nothing wrong, they couldn't even justify or explain why they kicked me out. And to Make matters worse, there was this racist message In The bathroom. Living in the UK, you hear a lot about racism in the US but it's sad see it's really as racist as they say.

When I tried to…read moreinvestigate restaurants close by we could eat on a Friday night, one place was the Sanctuary Pub and I saw I could use the app to make a reservation, I was happy. We got to the Pub and no one was there. Our server was probably one of the worst I ever had. She barely spoke to us, was not attentive and acted like we were a bother being there. The manager or cook had to help her ring in our order and also ring out our check. The food was mediocre at best. The service though....wow. Terrible. Like it was laughable. We were there for over an hour and no one else ever came in. Maybe word is out that it is not a great spot to eat and we as the out of towners just didn't know. I do not recommend.

Aside from appetizers, sandwich and…read moreburgers there's really not much in the menu but it beats everything else that's around for real food when Pullman was closed. The pot roast sandwich is really interesting. The quality of beef is really good. I think there were some sauerkraut on it, which I didn't care for, but overall, it was a very good sandwich and I substituted for a side of corned beef mashed potatoes, which the guy was honest and told me they were leftover from st paddy's day. My only gripe is the tables always seem to be sticky and dirty. They could do a better job being clean as I'm looking around seeing a bunch of crumbs on other tables as well.
