Used to be a great place to meet friends for a drink and enjoy a Hawkeye football game. These days I'll randomly stop in for a drink. Great place to socialize.
We love SPOCO, great place to work while grabbing drinks and food.
I have just moved to Iowa city I went to this place, it was around 1:30 AM and I asked for two tequila shots, I was planning to invite either bartender or someone at the bar but I received just tequila shots when I asked the Bartender about Lemon and Salt, he said he don't have after that I asked can I have vodka instead of it and he quickly asked the security and told them to throw me out of the place. He would have asked me to pay for tequila or would have asked me to leave on my own or would have simply talked about it if there was any other problem. This was so rude, I am not sure this is how they behave in Iowa city with all guests. I have traveled to over 20 countries but never observed such a behavior. The bartender need to learn how to behave with the guests.
Before I start this review, I want to state that I have been in the service industry for over 5 years. Now for the positives, the venue has a rather large space compared to the competing bars. They also have rather affordable beverages. Moving to negatives which is why they are rated 1 star. The service was absolutely atrocious. I went to the bar and informed the bartender that I had 6 drinks to order. He said that's an overload and would need two trips to complete the order. So I gave him my order and he brings me three drinks and a tab at $27 which was the total for the 6 drink order. I proceed to wait roughly 30 minutes while he looks me dead in the eyes and does nothing about the remaining 3 drinks he did not provide. Then he tried to take the ticket for the full order before I was given the drinks I did not sign it and grabbed it out of his hands. Also, while I was waiting for the proper service I was looking for there was another employee apparently a manager from the information I was provided by another employee who further exemplifies why the establishment deserves a low rating. There was a polite and nice young lady next to me who ordered a round for her group and asked for salt to pair with her order. The employee, Male, at the main bar, who wore a black hat backwards, long black hair, and was roughly 27 years old proceeded to grab the salt shaker and slammed it in the young girls face and had a negative posture and attitude towards all the guests. I also noticed him spit in a drink for another guest which really left a foul taste in my mouth. Overall, I would say this bar could do so much better with the facility they have. The employees were awful and besides the door men and shot girls this place we a true mess.
My friend who was African American, was kicked out before given the chance the to clarify what he was trying to communicate to the bartender. Ended up being quickly kicked out and cops called, which all could've been avoided f they had given him the chance to talk in the first place.
Danny was an amazing bartender!! Made a personal connection for my friend’s 21st birthday and served everyone in the group with great hospitality! Will definitely be returning for future events because of our service!
We went to the sports column as part of my bachelorette bar crawl. It was our last stop of our bar crawl and at 1:40 the staff told us that we needed to get out. We responded by asking if they close at 2:00 like all other bars and if we could finish our drinks that we purchased. The response from the staff was “we close when we say we do and we’re closing now. Congrats by the way now you will get half of his stuff” implying a divorce. I will not be returning for my business.
A real dump. There only claim to fame is very cheap pitchers of low quality beer. It's dirty, smells, and is in disrepair. The lower walls are falling away from the bathroom allowing you to see into the basement. Server was friendly, but I'd go anywhere else than here.
Food was good! Never sat so long in my life waiting for our food. We sat in there for two hours. They knew Ragbrai was coming and it wasn’t even packed. First time in years I have been disappointed with a food establishment. Food was also cold and one member received his meal 20 minutes after the first one received his.
Decent place, small bucket cocktails and beers. 4 bucks per on thu.
