On multiple occasions, our waiter forgot our food and drink order. I wasn't pleased with the food. I ordered a chicken sandwich which was not appetizing. Looks like something I could make in five minutes at home. My children ordered a pizza pretzel that had no cheese and two pepperoni on it. The waiter even acknowledged this as he gave it to us. We waited for the bill for 20 minutes after the last time he came to our table so we went in and had to do it ourselves.

Love them. Always find something I want . Very helpful staff. Best liquor store in Cedar Rapidsread more

Not to mention pull tabs. Our waitress/bartender was amazing! Started with the poppers (red peppers btw) and they were bangers. Really tasty.

Definitely a must is you're heading to/from Solon, need something to do on a weekday/weekend day or night, or just want to have some really good food and an icy cold beverage. Just go!!

The food special on Sunday happened to be fish tacos, and I thought they were battered perfectly using cod. The drinks were reasonably priced and there's plenty of open seating with tables great for big groups.

We go to Iowa Brewing several times a month, and we have always had great experiences with their friendly staff.

New to the area and was struggling to find Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth for cooking. (Side note; if you…read morehaven't tried Noilly Prat, I highly recommend as this stuff is amazing.) After calling multiple stores, including requesting a special order from Hy-Vee two separate times only to be ignored, I about gave up. These guys came through, ordering a case of this vermouth.

On day seven hundred of social distancing, I needed booze…read more (Ok... really it was day 18. Our supply was low and the weekend was near. Plus I have kids, that I am attempting to 'school' in some fashion during this who pandemic thing. I knew I lacked patience as a human... I now know with absolute certainty I do as a teacher, too. And before you ask-- while I do not believe it is drinking alone when your kids are there-- this is for afterwards. Call it a reward for a job well done? Or perhaps a beverage to wash away the stresses of the day.) I started to explore my potential zero contact options in the area. I realllllly wanted to order online and drive on over to have it loaded in my vehicle. I tend to linger when buying adult beverages and don't make up my mind in a timely manner. There are just SO many options, ya know?! I thought I'd end up using my local grocery store for this beer... margarita... rum... liquid sanity run. But alas, Bootleggin Barzini's allows you to order online! Right on. #supportsmallbusinesses Well, their selection is superb. (I knew that already though, having frequented this biz at least a dozen times before-- pre-pandemic.) But what surprised me is while a lot of their inventory was OBVIOUSLY not online, they had a lot of local craft beers and not so local craft beers ready for purchase. (Even some Big Grove ones I didn't even know were a thing.) I filled my cart. Had the option to pay in person or online. (Hello. Zero contact.) And then the option of picking up anytime between 11-10P. I selected my time. Showed up then. A co-owner was waiting outside the door for me... loaded my liquid rewards in my SUV and away I went. I think their pricing is always a bit high but that being said, whether it is offering carryout booze or having a supremely knowledgeable staff member talking beer with you-- the service is high at Bootleggin Barzini's. Always. They also have adult beverages that you can't find elsewhere in the area... so take that into account for the extra couple of dollars per six pack. I know I'll be back.

My husband ordered the special which was a pork chop and I had a Reuben hamburger. It was really big. The hamburger might've been a bit overdone. Friend had a chicken croissant sandwich and said it was delicious. Her hubby had a whisky burger and enjoyed it. We had a dessert pretzel and weren't able to finish it. It was just sweet enough to be a nice ending to the meal. Everyone said their beers were good. I wanted to have a Coke zero but the machine wasn't working and the owner wasn't there to fix it. I had iced tea instead and it was not good. It's bright and clean and a nice place to meet for lunch

The outdoor patio is really cool, especially in the spring / summer - which we were there in summer. Beautiful grassy area outside and just so perfect to enjoy a cold one.

The beer is obviously really good too. HD creates a good variety of beers to choose from and if you don't drink beer they do have a cooler with hard ciders and other drinks along with a few non alcoholic options. In the summer they have bands on the weekend and a canopy over most of the outdoor seating. In the winter the have igloos to keep warm. They don't have a kitchen so no food except free popcorn and a snack bowl of mixed nuts. You can buy a few things to eat like peanuts and beef jerky. Th location is just off the Cedar Valley Nature Trail so this is a good location for those that bike or hike on the trail. There is a large bike rack to accommodate those individuals. This is a must visit if you are in the area.

It was their grand opening weekend, but unfortunately they were still waiting on their brewers license so they only had guests beers on tap. While they don't serve food, they did have a good truck available for those who wanted to eat. When you walk in, it's not real big, and it was crowded because if the opening. I'm sure at other times it would be quite cozy. There are about 4 tables and bar seating with the brewery off to one side. The staff was very friendly even in light of them being swamped. I had a beer and chatted with one of the owners. I'm looking forward to trying their beers and getting back when it's not so crowded
