Look...if you're in Indianola and looking for a late night drink... There is no reason NOT to go to the Zoo. Cheap drinks, great bartenders. Mostly always free pool downstairs. They will have a small dance floor which seems to always get packed out. The only problem with this place is that when it closes at 2am it feels too early. It's a blast. Their $3 Long Island is great. All in all...what else are you gonna do late night in Indianola?
Review Source:In my travels to hundreds of bars throughout the Great Plains I have discovered several fundamental laws of bar nature. Â One of these laws is that any bar named "Zoo" is awesome. Â Â This particular Zoo is no exception.
We had a kick-ass bartender who welcomed us out-of-towners with free shots ("FMS", apparently the bar's staple) as we settled in for our visit. Â We had a lot of fun chatting with him throughout our stay.
Upon entry you find yourself in the middle of a stairwell. Â Go up and you find the main bar, with lots of seating and a handful of bar games. Â Downstairs is foosball and a pair of vividly purple pool tables.
If I lived in Indianola, this would be my hangout. Â If you're just visiting, it's well worth stopping in.
