Janet is the world's best bartender...this place needs new life from CR and Iowa City to shake it up and has great cocktails, nice people to talk to, and cheap liquor. Jell-O shots galore. #stannamarshapproved

One of my favorite places on this earth. Great people behind the bar and great people fill the bar to eat, drink, and socialize. The owners keep the spirit of "Joe's" alive while making it their own and making it even more welcoming. A must stop if passing through! Bloody Mary's are NEXT level.
