What User likes about Joe's Place:
The service was good and drinks are large. Have not tried the food, but there is a popcorn machine that does not have everyone. It is an average Joe sports bar with lots of space and an upper stage. It also seems to be more of a mature amount. The upper floor is beautiful. A good place to have lounges and a few drinks or sit on a fire with some big screens and a good company. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Joe's Place:
I visited this restaurant to experience the Iowa tradition of beer band and was very disappointed with the service. The beer band tradition involves band members going to local bars to attract customers to watch their performance. The staff at this restaurant were disrespectfultowards the band members, and our waitress was rude and pushy instead of being polite. Many other local bars usually offer band members drinks...

This has always been and probably always will be my favorite bar! It has a great environment and always great things on tap.

read moreThis local bar offers a spacious, inviting atmosphere with a fantastic rooftop patio and plenty of entertainment options such as pool, darts, and pub quizzes. While many patrons appreciate the friendly staff and decent drink specials, service inconsistencies have been noted, with some customers experiencing delays and rudeness. The food, although typical bar fare, receives positive mentions, particularly the cheesy pizza sticks. Overall, while the ambiance and layout provide a great venue, the quality of service remains a significant factor influencing the dining experience, prompting mixed feelings among visitors.
Good place to drink, not too many young people come, but good for parties. Let's go!

read moreJoe's is the best. Bartenders are great! I love the new option of food! Also, the ptjer improvements aren't ruining the integrity of the original. We love it!
