Pastimes Sports Bar

Reviews & Tips

  Pastimes Sports Bar is a good local bar located in the Huxley Plaza. They have a nice selection of beers and hard liquor. They also have food but I can't review the food because I've only had the beer.
  
  This bar used to be the Bombers Grill, which was formerly the Royal Cafe, which was formerly the Fjord. Huxley needed a place for people to go grab a beer after a game or just after work sometime or for a little weekend fun without driving to Ames, Ankeny or Des Moines. Always have a designated driver but it is especially important in Huxley as the cops like to sit across from the bar (or at least they would sit on the shoulder on that part of 69 to catch people speeding around the curve when I lived in the area).
  
  The owners have spruced the place up a bit since it was the Bombers Grill and it's a nice clean bar with clean restrooms. When you are at the bar you won't think you're in Huxley unless you look out the window and see the Dollar General across the plaza.
  
  Overall a great bar to meet friends, catch up and have a drink. I know they have a beer garden opened in the back and they have a lot of theme nights. They also have karaoke on Friday nights and live music other nights. The karaoke DJ is a little creepy but it's still a good time so don't let the DJ stop you from checking this place out. I will definitely be making a return visit to Pastimes next time I'm in town.
