Food is very good and has large portions. A little difficult to get in and out within an hour for lunch, although it is possible. Offers a large beer selection, and beer flights. When there is music it can be very loud and you should not go there expecting to be able to talk. There is a pool table, although sometimes it is covered for additional seating/eating. Wait staff is not always the most attentive and can sometimes take a long time to either initially get service or to get waited on after you have your food. Very interesting decor throughout the place, including old signs and advertisements. Very close to other restaurants and bars in the New Bo area. A great area to visit on weekends. read more

Great selection of beer. Good, clean looking restaurant. The fried halibut it was delicious, I also tried the spicy chicken sandwich and that was also great. We always love to come here when we're in town. read more

Parlor City has some of the best food in Cedar Rapids! It's especially great after a long bike ride on the nature trail, which is just a block away. Their chicken guacamole sandwich is amazing! The beer selection is fantastic and the service is decent! The location is great, downtown CR in the newbo area. read more

Great atmosphere, great food, and great beer, even if you don't like beer. The ciders are great for people who hate the taste of beer, as well as one of the ginger beers whose name I don't recall. Never change, Parlor City! read more

Good beer, Guinness and cider. home made veggie burger (black bean) and sweet potato fries with chili lime sauce were good. Service was sloppy and slow. read more

I love the food and atmosphere! Except when they have live music then it gets too hard to hear anyone speak.

So far have been here twice, once for weekend breakfast and once for weekend lunch. We went pretty early for breakfast, so it wasn't crowded. The staff was very attentive and it was one of the better breakfasts we've had since moving here. I was mostly excited about the bloody mary bar. Phenomenal. And really, really good bloody mary mix. Recently, we stopped by for lunch. Lunch was busier and the crowd is rowdier, most likely due to the bloody mary bar. I can't remember what hubby had because he ate it so fast, but it must have been tasty. I had the fish sandwich with a ginormous piece of fish. It was messy but really good. We also had fried pickles as a starter and they were some of the best fried pickles and we got our choice of dipping sauce, which makes me very happy. Even though it was busy, our iced teas were kept full. This has become one of our go-to places on the weekend when we are driving around aimlessly. read more

Never disappointed by the food! We've been there a lot on the weekends recently and the staff is always crazed, but they get the job done.

56 beers on tap. Live music. Great casual food. The wait staff seemed a little frantic like they didn't always know who had what table, but the service was good. All in all a really good experience. read more

Prime Cedar Rapids real estate, an easy place to reserve tables for a party, and a great beer list give this place the 3 stars it deserves. I don't remember ever having "great" service... in fact it's usually quite the contrary... trying to hunt a waiter/waitress down for a drink, to order, pay, etc. Up until recently the food was pretty decent but tonight everything at our table was sub-par. Go with low expectations and you'll probably be glad you came. read more

Pour service, expensive drinks, but great selection of beers and you can fill your growler. Good is middle of the road you can find better within walking distance of this place. read more

We have been to Parlor City a few times. Walked out once, due to lack of service. Food is ok. We have never had good service here. Servers are unattentive or just plain ignore us. Will not be in a hurry to return. read more

Even the bouncers are cool. We usually stop in for a few drinks when we ride along the river. Service is fast and bartenders are always nice. read more

Went there for wings once with a friend. The waitress kept trying to take my plate AS I WAS EATING my wings! Not once, not 2 or 3 times, but I finally asked her NOT to come back until I was finished. She giggled and walked away. WOW! What is wrong with you people?!! read more

Foods always good especially the hand mozzarella sticks and the onion rings their batter is really unique. But the service is almost always bad and if you get a Togo order they charge a fee and charged me to get buffalo sauce instead of ranch??? How's that make sense. Well I guess when the bartenders are getting lit at the bar. But yea food 5 stars service 0 read more

I haven't eaten here, so this review is based just on ambience and their really great beer offerings. I came in around 9 PM on a Saturday night with my husband. We had already had dinner so we just wanted a drink and they let us sit at a table anyway, which was nice. It was pretty full but not crowded. There was a blues band playing. They also have several TVs, so you can watch the game if you aren't into the music. The decor is fun, with lots of old pictures and local memorabilia. But the best part is definitely the beer. Something like 50 or 60 different beers on tap ranging from belgian to domestic craft beer from across the US and even a few made right in Iowa. The beer menu is well put together and helpful but our waitress also offered to make a suggestion based on what I was in the mood for. If you like craft beer this place is a must visit in Cedar Rapids. read more

Went here with friends on a teacher workday, they are all long time locals and really liked this place. They had a large beer list, good service and good food. Will be returning :) read more

My go-to place to get a beer in Cedar Rapids. They have over 50 on tap and the options are continuously changing. There is a decent patio in the back if that's your thing. Not sure how the meals are but the nachos or cheese fries are worth getting. The attentiveness of the servers varies but I have never had a long wait to get a seat. Giving 4 stars for service (my food or my boyfriend's food has been cold on multiple occasions) and 5 for the beer selection. read more

Good for a change. The cheese stuffed burger was good. Good speed. Nice to go to if you want to sit down in the new bo area.

Wife and I didn't enjoy or like this place. Large beer selection, very loud atmosphere. Most of the patrons looked as if they were enjoying themselfs. The food taste like bar food, ugh. read more

I have a hard time reviewing this place. Service, food, beer, price were all solid. That being said, there was nothing special that will bring me back. Maybe it was just a vibe issue on my behalf. read more

My grilled pork tenderloin was barely the size of the bun, was extremely thin, over cooked and cold. Ate only 1/2 of sandwich. My guests margarita glass with only ice and vodka tasted weak with chlorinated water dominate flavor. Mentioned drink to staff which was indifferent. Embarrassed to have taken guests to Parlor City. Sweet potato fries and sauce was excellent. Will go across the street next time. read more

Hands down my favorite bar in Cedar Rapids. Food, service, atmosphere are all 5 stars. They set the standard for me. We recently went for breakfast and bloody mary bar - yummo! They have 3-4 different bloody mixes, all the toppings/condiments, sauces etc. Needless to say, it was a very tasty morning. Our group of three ordered a breakfast pizza and a southwest omelet. The breakfast pizza, unanimously, was voted as "the best ever". The omelet was pretty damn tasty as well. When a bar ups your usual breakfast spot....well, I guess you can call it a one stop shop. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all awesome at Parlor City. And they definitely take the cake on beers on tap - this is a micro brew beer lovers haven. The one and only issue I have with this place is when they have live music, we never go. Cause when we do, we have to speak in sign language or read each others lips. In short, it's effing LOUD in there. read more

Come here if you like a variety of beverages to tingle your tastebuds. With well over 100 beers on tap, there's sure to be something for every thirsty traveler. The food is pretty decent, too. We often go for a couple beers and some fried pickles. There are live bands that frequent as well for some dining entertainment. Thumbs up. read more

Parlor City is a pretty hip place to hangout eat and drink. My chief complaint is the noise level. While I love live music, if you go there to eat, it totally ruins your dining experience. Food is pretty decent as bar food goes. Beer selection is fabulous is you are into craft/microbrews. Decor is really fun and historical. While, I rate this 3 stars, there will be others that will give it 5. It's all a matter of personal tastes and preference. read more

We were seated right away, but didn't like our seats. Our host was glad to promptly seat us elsewhere. Our server was very friendly. Food was really good! Would recommend. read more

Stopped by for a bite to eat with some family, and found it to be busy (but with available tables) because the Hawkeyes were playing football. We sat outside where there were probably 12 tables (multiple 6-tops) and there only seemed to be one server working the whole area. The food was really good (yummy BBQ pizza, awesome chicken tenders) but even though we were ready to order within 5 minutes of sitting down, it was a 2+ hour dining experience. I don't recommend going on a game day unless you're settling in to actually watch the game there or aren't in a hurry. I would definitely go again on a non-game day and on the flip side- if you're a Hawkeye fan, this seems like a fun place to be for a game! read more

Great beer selection. Good service. Good food with a little twist on some of the regulars. For instance, the mozzarella sticks were unlike any I've ever had, but good. Biggest complaint: ordered the spicy juicy lucy and it was neither spicy or lucy. Or is it juicy? Either way, it wasn't spicy and didn't have much in it for stuffing. It was still actually a very good tasting cheeseburger, but severely lacking in what I ordered. The coleslaw I ordered as a side wasn't exactly inspiring either, but coleslaw tends to polarize people in the multiple ways of preparation. Wouldn't hesitate to explore the menu further. read more

Parlor City is such a little gem! My favorite part is their patio. It's so nice to hang out there on summer evenings! The service is almost always excellent and the ambiance is relaxed. The food is pretty good, but the real highlight is their massive selection of beer and their daily $5 pitchers. I love going to Parlor City with a group of friends, splitting a pitcher or two, and enjoying the chips and queso appetizer (it comes with a generous portion of tortilla chips, homemade queso, guacamole, tomato salsa and black bean and corn salsa--perfect for sharing and SO tasty!). read more

This place is great if you want to hang out and have some beers - the selection is awesome and changes quite a bit. The food, however, is just eh. The burgers aren't seasoned, or always cooked according to the order...everything else is just average food with average taste. read more

One of the only pet friendly patios I have been able to find in the CR area! Great beer selection and it's a great place to be outside with your pup and your friends!! read more

We had the new back patio area reserved for after our wedding reception and had pizzas ready to go for guests to munch on since it had been a long day and late in the evening. The space was great because we had some fresh air but all the amenities of being indoor. I love that there are restrooms out there and a full bar. Plenty of seating for a group and they were very helpful! read more

The sweet potatoe fries are a must to try, otherwise food is pretty typical pub fare.

Beer selection is 8/10. The food is garbage! They serve canned chicken in their wraps. Skip the food and drink.

Great food and beer selection. For the non beer drinker they do have some wine. During the summer there is a very nice beer garden available. Suggestions for food the spicy Lucy or the Steak Sandwich (steak is hand cut I house). read more

Love the atmosphere, location, menu, and outdoor seating option!

I had a great time here. Sampled a bunch of IPAs I've never heard of before. Service is upbeat, prices are fair, lots of people, good vibe. Will drop by again tomorrow before flight home :) read more

Parlor City has it dialed in for excellent food, service and nostalgic atmosphere. The owner and staff here were so attentive to our group and everyone has a fantastic time. Bree (spelling?) our server could not have been more on the ball for all 35 of us - Thank you so much for the great experience. Recommendations - appetizer sampler platter and pulled pork were very, VERY good. read more

food was great! Service was great! Not really a good value for some items though. They served a side salad in a teacup. Kids meals were small. KIDS mac & cheese also served in a teacup. read more

This has become a tradition for my wife and I. On vacation we always stop here. Let the waitperson pick a beer flight for us. Always get for beers we never tasted before. They always surprise us with something. Tonight it was Left Handed Milk Stout. Almost drinks like milk and you want several of them. Tonight we tried their pizza. Not bad at all. We will stop here again. read more
