If you are not a Darts fan, they also have a shuffleboard. Overall, it is an excellent time to chill with your friends. It is open like other bars, and you are not packed like sardines.

It's a pretty large place with maybe 10 or so pool tables, 2 dart boards, shuffle board, and some…read morearcade games. It's a pretty typical bar with wood paneling, green walls, highboy tables, etc. Nothing to write home about. They have good drink specials, although, I don't know how they compare to other Iowa bars cause they seem to be on the cheaper side in general. Also, Iowa isn't smoke-free yet, so this bar is big enough that it allows for the smoke to move around without suffocating on all the smoke at the same time (some other bars are WAY worse; try Deadwood if you're looking for instant lung cancer).

Prices are as expected. Oozes character. Tons of booths, all etched by years of patrons. Pool table. Not crowded like so many other IC watering holes. Full bar, about four beers on tap. Never loud, a good spot to catch up. Jukebox music. Friendly staff. Oldest bar in IC. (Circa the 1930s) SUPPOSEDLY, Kurt Vonnegut had drinks here. Rad. Dave's Fox Head Tavern is a must-see.

I get it. I work in a restaurant also, but I would NEVER do that to someone. I was signing my check to close out my bill, and 3 of the employees stared me down when I wasn't going to tip because of what I watched happen to my partner. I had to ask them what the issue was because it was that obvious. I have loved coming here in the past since it is right by where I live, but I will honeslty never come again.
