An adjoining room has a ceiling of reclaimed doors, very clever. They have an outstanding craft beet selection and some creative cocktails.

This has to be one of the best places to drink craft beer in Iowa. There is alot of great beer in…read morethe area but it is also the owners that makes this place wonderful. I have been known to make the hour long drive for a couple beers here then head home.

Oh man, where to start on this place! I came over Memorial Day with some friends for a girls trip…read more We stayed at the Gehlen House Inn which is owned by the same couple as the barn brewery. I can't rate that in Yelp but just know it was a great stay, we met so many cool people staying there too, and you should stay there if you come up to check out the barn. Onto the barn! This place has a rich history and I'm so impressed with the way they've maintained the original charm of the barn and grounds while also renovating with modern conveniences. There was a lot of time and effort put into this place! They have a substantial craft beer list, the top ones for me were the pina colada and the deeamsicle, but my friends had many others they enjoyed too. There are beers for sale to take home, and lots of merch and swag. They serve pizza if you want to nosh on something with your beer. We got a Reuben pizza to split and it was great! The owners and employees were caring, kind, and took time to explain the beers and make sure we were well taken care of. Our group couldn't say enough good things about this place!

Opens around 7:30 and we happen to make our way in there about 8:30. We were worried when the only people in the bar were is at first. I enjoyed chatting up the bartender. The lights of the 10 different colored strobe balls was going even before the fun began. People started to trickle in and before ya know it we had full on karaoke party. The drinks were priced well and the very vintage bathroom was fun. If your close and love to sing, stop on in and enjoy the atmosphere.

VFW Grant's Bivouac looks pretty much like it should have been back when it was a private club or whatever. A lot of old wood paneling and dingy atmosphere. The entire week has specials going on so you can always get cheap stuff. Coming in here it looks like going back to the 1950s in a Midwest bar. It's got lots of wood and we're talking about a lot. The walls are filled with community information and old war stuff. Kind of like a museum. There's a large drink menu featuring every special. A lot of these are for Bud Light. It's $2.50 wells on Wednesdays. Also you can get 6 packs to go. They also sell cigarettes if you're out of those. Got to check it out if you like old bars. It's open to the public. This is like a time warp or whatever.
