Tonic Bar

DJ that plays on Saturday night is awful. Requested songs on 3 different occasions and I have never been accommodated. The purpose of a DJ is to please customers and get them on dance floor. Do not expect that from this lame DJ that seems to play only Jagged Edge songs for hours while nobody is dancing.

Tonic may be a franchise but it still feels like your favorite neighborhood bar.  They have FABULOUS appetizers and Happy Hour specials that will truely make you smile.  I recommend trying the Quesadilla Rolls & Cream Cheese Poppers.  We like to drop in on Fridays after work to unwind with friends.

The first time we went we felt like we finally found a unique bar in Ankeny.  No franchise here!  The bartenders were very friendly and gave us a free shot for being new locals...very cool!  They make great drinks at good prices too.  They also gave us drink coupons as we left.  These owners are no fools!  

They have a DJ on most Saturday nights, which is always fun.  The crowd is lively and a mix of the same ol' faces with some new faces.  It's refreshing.  I can't wait to check out their patio this summer.  Well done!
