Saloon Iowa City

This place offers $5.00 bottles of beer and features numerous TVs, along with pool, foosball, and darts. It's a beautiful venue overall.

The restaurant has some friendly employees, but others seem to need additional training. It was quite busy due to the Iowa vs. Michigan game. Unfortunately, four staff members left my husband waiting at the bar while they discussed how to make a shot, and they never returned to assist him. We also didn’t order any food. To top it off, the floors were really unclean—your shoes would stick to them.

Last night was my first night in Iowa City and I'm so glad my friends brought me to Pints! The bartenders were funny and had amazing service! There is a wide selection of drinks / drinks to choose from. The waitresses were amazing to make sure our drinks were full! If you get the chance to meet the owner Doug, you also have! Definitely one of the coolest people I met! I have never seen a marching band standing on a bar and a preform, but it was such an amazing experience to be apart! Very recommended to check out pints!

This is a fantastic bar if you're looking to enjoy great music and relax with friends. The atmosphere remains consistently pleasant, and the staff is friendly. We love wrapping up our nights here!

TBH Pints is one of the last true statesmen establishments remaining in this country! While I did not attend the University of Iowa, both of my sisters did and I can recall most (but not all) nights where I went out with them in downtown IC and ended up, at some point of the evening, arriving at this wonderful establishment! While they have a mecca of taps and wonderful staff, the true center point of this establishment is the dart board, and the tipsy college students dodging darts to make their way over to the bathroom! The only reason that I am giving Pints 4/5 instead of 5 was due to last graduation weekend. We showed up, ready to have an ICE COLD pint to wrap up our night of antics in IC, to which the bouncer asked us for a crisp $20 to enter this amazing establishment. Let me be real, I'd usually give my left arm to get to close my night at pints, but this time, asking for $20 just hit different. That doesn't even get me any beers just entry into the dart dodging. Regardless, definitely go hit up Pints as a closer if you have the opportunity and get ready to enjoy some delicious brews!
