    I love this dive! I've passed it uncountable times on Lowry and honestly wondered if it was even open. There are no windows which is kinda sketch but is good divey fun. We stumbled in here on a Wednesday night and were pleased to find some divey novelties like pull tabs, a couple pinball machines, neon signs, cheap food and drink, annnnnd, adult toy bingo. Aka "dildo". Needless to say, we've been hooked since. "Dildo" is free, starts between 9-10pm, and lasts for 8 games on Wednesday nights. That's 8 chances to win an exciting or questionable new toy! The service has been great. In fact, they recognized us all the second time we came here. Our bartender as always been friendly and efficient too. "Rollin Nolens BBQ" is available. The food is just OK but that's not what most people come for.

    This place is so unsanitary. Bugs and gunk will be in your drink from their soda gun! Look at all the gross stuff floating in my glass!

    Rite-Maids! They call them Palace Taverns. Excellent stuff.

    New kitchen and menu has turned me into a convert at the Palace. The crowd is super diverse, the drinks are strong, and the new food is pretty legit. The "Palace Taverns" are a take on the Iowan favorite, Rite-Maids, and they are legit. Classic NE Dive bar with tons of personality.

    Is this the place where people were drinking out of fishbowls and singing karaoke?

    It's really cute inside and the burger I had was great. The fries were super crispy and I would…read moredefinitely recommend getting them as your side. One thing I wasn't a fan of was the QR code ordering system. It's laid out like a restaurant and the prices were typical restaurant prices, but the only time we saw a server was when they brought out our food. You also get your own water from a water station. It's not a huge deal, but for a place decorated so nicely it made it feel more like a fast food experience. It also asks for a tip with the traditional percentage amounts suggested which I thought was strange because I'm not sure who I would be tipping, I thought that usually went to your server? Besides that though I did really enjoy the burger. They have a pool table and many pieces of fun wall art to look at. They also have a nice patio for the summer.

    I've been wanting to swing by this spot for a while now and decided to venture out in the snow to…read moremake it happen. Parking can be annoying in this area (old cobblestone streets), but there is a paid lot right across the street from the entrance if you can't find street parking. Upon walking in, the bar top itself was packed with regulars at an off hour on a Friday. We sat at a small table by the pull tabs. Fun & divey atmosphere with a pool table and plenty of photo ops. Decided on Bina's Burger (smash burger) with Fries, and a side of Mozzarella Sticks. Loved the classic cup the Coke came in, and I tried both of the Old Fashioned drinks on the menu. Bina's old fashioned is okay, and will do the trick if you're purely looking for effect. The Wisconsin old fashioned is very sweet with muddled cherries and orange. The mozzarella sticks were served with a tomato soup dip which was interesting, but makes sense (grilled cheese & tomato soup). Ultimately the smash burger is the star! Very salty and crispy and delicious! I could see this becoming a regular craving! Water and condiments are on a stand to the left of the pull tabs.
