  Great pickup joint if you're a horny undergrad. Otherwise, skip it.

  If I could give zero stars I would. Worst bar in the Iowa city downtown area. The bartenders and servers are beyond rude and do not care about their customer service reputation, very unprofessional.

  Only reason this isn't 5 star, is because the bathrooms suck. Other than that, this is one of my favorite bars in Iowa City. Definitely has the best music and even though the dance floor is small, the whole bar turns into a dance floor when an awesome song comes on. The atmosphere is awesome, I definitely recommend checking it out!

  Fieldhouse is definitely one of those bars you go to if you want to dance. The dance floor is always full on Friday & Saturday nights despite the scum ring around the floor. They do a 21 pitchers for $25 during the week of your birthday and have $3 mini pitchers during FAC (Friday After Class). Since the entry age changed to 21 in Iowa City I haven't had to pay cover at Fieldhouse but there have been rumors floating around that the change may also cause FH to close. Hopefully they will wait until after my birthday...

  If you want to get your grind on, this is the place to go. The music is good and the people are ready to party. The dance floor was pretty nasty with spilled drinks, but that shouldn't stop you from the happy crowd. The cover was $5 for no reason, but whatever.

  I had never been out to Iowa city before, but I was visting friends in Cedar Rapids Iowa and they took me to The Fieldhouse.  The cover charge was only $10.   I had fun there even though I had a cold and was sober.  lol
  
  The music was great they played everything from old school house, to Pop and Reggaeton, something for everyone to dance to.  It was 19+ to get in which was werid to me since in Chicago you need to be 21 to get in anywhere.  I thought it would be full of a bunch or youngins but it wasn't.  It was full of Unveristy of Iowa students cause there campus is right down the street.
  
  This place was huge but the dance floor was tiny.  Everyone wanted to be on the dance floor so it was packed to the max.    But I think their was probably more gallons of beer on the floor then there were people on it, which was gross.   But the drunk people didn't seem to mind.    I would suggest they get a clean up crew to get those spills faster but I know that would be a problem.  
  
  Positives:  Great atmosphere, Great Music, Cheap Drinks Specials, and lots of Security posted everywhere.
  
  Negatives: Needs to have a bigger and drier dance floor, cleaner bathrooms, and less smoking.
  
  Good times!
