Reviews for Pocket City Pub in McGregor, IA
Great place to get a drink. Very nice people that run it!!!
Atmosphere & Patrons were great and fun. The bartender that night was not looking at all happy to be there and was no fun.
As soon as you walk in the door you are one of the regulars and the owner Bart adopt you into his family. Great place to stop... for a quick refresher or catch the game. Go Hawks!! Be certain to check out the back patio, now that is Northeast Iowa. Read more

Great little bar, friendly atmosphere. Pretty good for Iowa... #Sconny
It's a small town bar. The people are friendly and the beer is cold. Just enjoy it for what it is, an enjoyable stop everytime
So, the address is wrong. It's more like 270 Main Street. A bar and ice cream shop combined between 2 store fronts.OK, so now to... describe this place..... Wow. It is definitely one of the weirdest buildings I've ever been in. First off, the bar area. Hmmm.Well, there were space heaters around the bar, because the building had no heat/insulation. Then, there was no tap beer. Justbottles or cans. Keep in mind, no taps, AT A BAR. The obligatory tv showing sports was about a 22 inch tube tv. So from themid-90s. Further back from the bar was the area for 'live music'. The walls were blackboards, so you could write messages withchalk (which admittedly is a cool idea). There was a shop-vac on stage, one foot sized mirrorball and the soundboard area HADDOLL HEADS STARING OUT AT YOU. If you went through the curtain partition you'd get the back area of the ice cream shop, andapparently used to be a arcade. There was one pool table (in not great condition). And a baby crib next to that. In a non-heatedbuilding. Under a beer girl cutout advert from the mid '80s. So, yeah....And in the whole place, it was hard to find 2 matchingchairs. On the positives, the beer was cheap, plus you got a free drink if you used the ATM. The people there were reallyappreciative of your business, they were were trying. But we were asked what type of music we liked, said Bob Dylan, and thenwere treated to Miley Cyrus. Not quite the same thing. Pocket City Pub is going to take A LOT of work in order to makepresentable, but in its current form - this hodgepodge of random crap and things that just don't belong, it is so compellingthat it's almost difficult to want them to change. Besides the heat. They need to get some heating. It sucks to play poolwearing your winter jacket, gloves, and stocking cap. Read more
