Seemed unprofessional, rude, and 100% will not be coming back. Unbelievable behavior from a grown woman. Screaming in everyone's face and a very nasty attitude. Visiting from out of town and will avoid this place at all costs next time. Really awful first impression and seems to be for locals only. Really still hoping that wasn't the owner behaving so belligerently. Yikes.

Second, don't try and put the Trump mannequin's arm around your shoulder and take a pic. This will induce Savage to issue a warning. This place has "everything everywhere all at once." But not the same vibe as the movie. We rolled in at about 1:14 AM with 25 of our friends we haven't seen in 30 years lookin for a warm place to get out of the rain and drink some more Busch Lights cuz we hadn't had nearly enough. The place is covered floor to ceiling in Americana, toys, memorabilia, posters, knickknacks, objet d'art, and gaud. I think we got kicked out, not sure. I did end up walking on 2nd St with cans of Busch Light. Win.

I've gone a few times now and loved it. It is such great vibes, even when they are super busy they still take care of everyone (Shout out to Athena, Ani and Rylie). Drinks are delicious, service is great and love that every time I go in they are supporting the community (Toys for Tots, Local Dog Shelter, Holiday Hop...etc). They even have random local food trucks on weekends. Definitely worth a stop if in the QC or going to an event at The Mark (Vibrant Arena).

You can tell it the original one, as it's small and a little dated compared to the others that are near. But it's kinda cozy. We sat at the bar, and that's where they excelled. Our bartender Hallie, was fantastic! Best one we have had in a long time. Super nice, super informative. I had the Margherita Pizza, never have had one at a B.G. It was ok. Very saucy.

I just felt like the experience was 'okay' and I don't know that I would head back there anytime soon when there is a lot more to explore downtown Cedar Rapids.
