I think a good theme for this show is love who you are and show it off, even if you don't got it…read more This kind of illusionary confidence makes people feel better about themselves overall, and generally, those that "don't have it", actually have a better time. I think it's called Sircus cause it is a bit of a freak show, this show makes me think I could start a career in theater, just get some random people to dance around on stage, almost every act went from partially dressed, to less than partially dressed, and for one brief moment, we got to see some pasteys which only covered the nipples. Everything is kept real tame, they have whips and chains around the actors for part of the show, but it's really just for show, some minor pole dancing, I think there was only one actual kiss in the whole show when the rest were fake kisses. Some light touching over the clothes. Then Sissy, the leader/head drag queen, gave a lap dance to a partially willing participant who won the raffle for charity, I'm sure the tickets were meant as a joke, though they promised the winner of the raffle would not be too intense, but it was actually pretty intense. The whole show is done to prerecorded music, I had never heard some of the songs before so possibly sissy actually sang all the songs prerecorded, though the whole show seemed to be clear lip-sinking. Overall, the actors seemed to be victims of bad parenting, I saw them as lost souls, shaking everything they had for less than $100 each per show. Some suggestions, the men were thin but should start doing push-ups and sit-up's daily at a minimum, woman all needed to lose 10-20 lbs minimum, lose them love handles, I mean you're selling a show where they are half naked so give us something to see. Noone but sissy has a single spoken line in the whole show, I'd be interested in some of the stories of the people on stage, why they ended up with sissy, or what kind of stuff they are into. Have some of the actors have some talents, like the light show with the lite up balls and hoola hoop, those were nice. Possibly some actual live singing. Sissy sang (or lip-sang) a song about being a mother hen, and it's pretty clear this is true, but it also seems clear she's leading them down a path of destruction in lasciviousness, and I couldn't help but feel sad for them and wanting better things for them. In the end, I didn't really care for the show though some around me were loving it, finding it entertaining, but I found it hard to applause these cries for help and the loss of dignity, though I did my best to appear as though I was having a good time.

This place is more like a dive in bar environment with a more local friendly feel to it just like…read moremost other adult clubs in Iowa. The drinks here are cheap like beer for like $5 I believe. They have pool tables here too which is pretty cool and the dancers here are average but it's a few really nice ones depending on time you arrive especially during the weekends. Some of the dancers don't speak English so don't assume they are just ignoring you. Overall a pretty decent club if you're stuck in town for the weekend.

Bartender was cool and friendly. 75% sure all the dancers were there with their husbands or boyfriends. Or just lunatics leading themselves on. Now to good stuff....I saw one dancer who was pregnant. Very pregnant. That's a first. Another dancer had brought those pizza cinnamon sticks in and ate them. Ok maybe she wasn't a dancer. Then all the girls would chill outside and smoke and kinda bounce back and forth. So as I said, it's half dive bar half strip club. Lite beer price $4.25. I would def be back.

I'll be surprised if the fire commissioner allows crowds of over 75 in that place. And I say that as a former firefighter, it's not a very big place. It is a cash only bar, which can get annoying because if you don't tip after every order, you'd be ignored the next time you want to order. No elbow room at the bar. The stools are very close together. I could see myself going back there, maybe in the daytime when it's slow, but I definitely wouldn't go on a Friday or Saturday night when everyone is out bar hopping

The flatbread is huge--at least two meals' worth--as are the salads. Beer's available in full pours, half pours, and flights, so it's easy to sample a few in one sitting. And don't miss the specials--especially inventive soups. There's plenty of seating options, too--a nice patio, bar stools, and a couple rooms full of tables and booths. Cheers!

There is ample space inside and out, and it's all very open and clean, though the inside dining areas are separated into large rooms, which I think would help with noise control when it's busy. We visited around 7:45 on a Friday evening in August and found it remarkably not crowded, but they have another location in Cedar Falls that probably draws a larger crowd. We were at the Waterloo location, which probably caters to a lot of business people and business travelers during the week. We ordered a lot of food for two people, and it was all excellent, but I rate this cool place four stars because all the food came out of the kitchen at once and we were totally overwhelmed. If it had been paced, I think we could have pulled it off, and as travelers, we couldn't really take leftovers with us to have another day. Our server was extremely helpful and patient helping me understand their beverage selections. I enjoy a good cocktail or a glass of good wine, but my beer tastes are even more limited, but SingleSpeed offered up the perfect solution: the SingleSpeed-a-rita. This is made with their Ring Around the Gose, tequila, agave, and lime juice. That hit the spot on a hot Friday night in Iowa!
