El Bait Shop

If you like beer then you will like El Bait Shop. I love beer so I love El Bait Shop. They have over 100 beers on tab, many local Iowa beers as well.

At this place you come for the great beer selection, not the food. They have okay bar food but nothing amazing. Wait I take that back, you can order from the attached bar called High Life and if you do get the Velvet Elvis dip. It comes with tortilla chips, and is really tasty.

This bar is a big hit for bicyclists and on the weekends it turns into a hot spot with many people in spandex and helmets - it makes for a fun atmosphere.

This is a great place to grab a drink with friends or co-workers. It is rather large so big groups fit well. Their patio is fantastic during the summer. I brought my dog one afternoon and we just hung out all day on the patio.

Great place!

Go for the beer, fun atmosphere. Don't bother with the food.

Easily the best bar in Iowa. Tons of beers all varieties. A whole wall of beers on tap. Plus good home-style foods from next door at "Miller High Life Lounge" and their own bar foods (good nachos and pretty good wings). Both restaurants share the same kitchen, so you can get food from either.
