Chuck's Bar & Grill

Chuck's is a recently remodeled Iowa Hawkeye themed bar with black and gold decor, lots of seating and Hawkeye memorabilia all over the walls.  How can you go wrong?

The menu has a wide variety of food to keep everyone happy. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, pepper steak sandwich and even a lasagna.

The Edge is a great place to watch all sporting events.  They have 8 55" plasma TVs and 2 90" projectors.  The wait staff is gorgeous, the drinks are reasonable and food was decent.  Good place for happy hour.

Scattered on the walls are signed jerseys of former Hawkeye football players.  That is a plus!

Hideaway

The bar is very adequately named, because it is indeed a Hawkeye Hideaway.  This Hawkeye-themed bar is tucked away in the old Fitzpatrick's building on Prentiss Street down from The Vine.  The bar itself is a bit of a dive, but the waitresses, bartenders and drink specials make up for that and then some.

The food and drink specials vary every night, but there is something awesome on special every night.  And on gameday, it is full of Hawkeye fans cheering on the Hawks.

Nothing fancy about this one, but it does a good job in every area it needs to.

Did I mention the bartenders were hot?

Bandit Burrito

Bandit Burrito is a great place to get a burrito!

Bandit Burrito was started by chef Robert Moore in July 2008.  It offers over 35 choices to customize your burrito experience.  The burritos are made in the same way Chipotle or Panchero's does, meaning you walk down a line and pick out your tortilla, your type of rice, beans, juicy meats, cheeses, veggies, salsas, sour cream, etc.  It is all fresh and delicious.

And an added bonus... they have awesome brownies!

They do need to invest a bit into their website, though.

Hawkeye's Bar & Grill

This is a FANTASTIC name for a bar.  This Iowa Hawkeye friendly bar is located in the Chicago area and is an awesome place to hangout and get drunk.  Great place to watch a University of Iowa game while eating some quality bar food.   There are lots of TVs and not too packed that you can't get a table for the games.

Looking for more Iowa Natives to review this bar.  Go Hawkeyes!

Woody's Smoke Shack  

Category: Barbeque

5.0 star rating

Woody's is AWESOME spelled BBQ.  Woody's Smoke Shack became popular by winning awards and contests across the Midwest.  Woody won awards at the World Pork Expo, the American Royal in Kansas City and the Jack Daniels Invitational in Lynchburg, Tennessee and most important his BBQ was awarded the Iowa State Barbecue Champion.  So this should give you some idea of just how good of BBQ we are talking.

The BBQ sauce here is so good it makes you just want to drink it from the bottle like its water.  

They only cook a limited number of ribs each day to ensure the deliciousness  so we suggest arriving as early as possible.   Trust us, they are worth the effort.

Their website needs a makeover, though.  We know some people, Woody.

Wig and Pen has some of the best pizza in the country, let alone Iowa.  The Wig and Pen East is set to re-open this weekend after being completely ravaged by the floods of 2008.  If you haven't been here before, GO!

Its a Hawkeye hangout, too.
