I visited iowa on a business trip, and on my night the young insisted to fight at donnelly’s! I couldn't get it up like I was sauntering.

Great food and drinks but our server was sitting at the bar on her phone for quite a while while we had empty drinks.

We adore Donnelly's, especially during game days! The atmosphere is lively and laid-back, and the sandwiches are top-notch.
