It's been a while since we were here last, so it was time to check it out. We came in during happy…read morehour and there were several people there. We were hoping they had a pinball machine, but they had several other games to choose from instead. We were especially happy that the 2 for 1 happy hour was still a promotion. And we could use our freebie on the same purchase or they would give us a poker chip to redeem our drink later. Love that flexibility!

Little surprised that there were only 5 people inside on a Friday night after 10 pm. The bar was…read moreclean but the regulars definitely had a sense of entitlement and were intrusive to our conversation. Definitely glad we were a group of 3. Short stay.

Went on a party bus and stopped here, the staff were very kind and friendly! I tried ordering food…read morea little too late so they point in the direction of their snack fridge (genius idea) and I got to try the house made tortellini salad. 10/10 experience and I couldn't recommend it more!!

If you are riding the High Trestle Trial and need another watering hole and maybe a place to fill…read morethe tank? Flat Tire Lounge is a solid stop and could not be more convenient. They have ample bike parking for the average biking crowd out back and plenty of parking for the trucks and hogs out front. It is not uncommon to see the mix of leather and spandex at this place! They also have a self supported bicycle repair station with a pump! The place itself is an old steel kwanza hut, but with some ingenuity and creative craftsman they have converted it into a fun and 'divey' spot. Indoors there is a large expansive bar, a walkup counter to order food and plenty of high-top tables to spread out the patrons. While outside they have a massive deck and an outdoor bar and smokehouse. It's a great place to sit an soak up some sun and watch he bike, runners and even horse riders go by. We love the Moscow mule selection they have here, and always seem to need more than one. While we didn't eat this trip the food is always a solid choice. The waitress on this last visit was running and taking care of an ever growing crowd. She is calm cool and collected and even made time to check on us folks on the deck. If you are out and about and find yourself near Madrid, Iowa - make sure to check out this fun stop. If you want to really experience it when it is hopping, pick a night when they have a live band! So much fun and it gets LOUD! Come check it out!

Saturday night and…read moreinstead of the "comforting blue glow" and "top notch cocktail bar" prominently mentioned throughout the website, it was just another sports bar. A cage fight on one of the tv's was on full volume pumping through the bars sound system, the sophisticated cocktail menu was just some soggy paper menus. Bartender seemed annoyed we even showed up which was interesting given the nearly empty place. Ankeny desperately needs a cocktail lounge but this isn't it.

Always loved going here--until last night. Our group of 16…read morewas told we had to pay $20 per person just to enter. I can understand a reasonable cover charge, but $20 each is excessive. To make it worse, people before us and after us walked right in without paying anything. It felt like we were singled out because we were the "older group," which was embarrassing and disappointing. I've never felt shamed like that before, especially at a place I've enjoyed in the past.

Went there (10/2/25 4PM) to have a drink with my boyfriend and was greeted with ABSOLUTELY NO…read moreservice. Sat outside and never saw anyone. We were the only ones there (I can tell why now). Finally someone emerged from the back and clearly saw us but still never said hello or asked what we wanted to drink. I decided to leave due to lack of no menu and very appalling staff service. As my boyfriend and I were walking out the woman staff member yelled back us to...and I very surprisingly quote...."grow up and that it will be alright." Mind you I was having a totally unrelated discussion with my boyfriend. Very sad to see that type of behavior from a grown woman. It was disgusting how she thought she could talk to me like that. I hope she finds help and has a blessed day.
