I'll be surprised if the fire commissioner allows crowds of over 75 in that place. And I say that as a former firefighter, it's not a very big place. It is a cash only bar, which can get annoying because if you don't tip after every order, you'd be ignored the next time you want to order. No elbow room at the bar. The stools are very close together. I could see myself going back there, maybe in the daytime when it's slow, but I definitely wouldn't go on a Friday or Saturday night when everyone is out bar hopping

"Stupid beer" is the mass-marketed domestic, watery, flavorless crap most often offered at nearly every other blasted bar. Oh, no; If I want a super-hopped IPA, I can get it. An oatmeal stout? NO PROBLEM. Perhaps a porter, or maybe a craft brew? They have it. It is a beer oasis in a sea of swill.

We usually stop in just to enjoy a beer - or two - and chat with the bartender and other customers. Lots of seating - multiple televisions. If I lived in the area - I would be there for Hawkeye games - both football and women's basketball. Most recently we grabbed a pizza from Leo's and dragged my 98 yr old mother along to have a beer with our supper. She and I both enjoyed the pistachio and another draft which sadly - I can't remember the name. Regardless - come in to Ampersand. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!!

The place has been brightened up which is nice and the bathrooms have been mostly been updated. But the prices of alcohol have not only doubled but they got rid of one of their pool tables. The music had changed to more of what you would hear in a club and makes the floor vibrate. Their are more tables and chairs then they know what to do with. Because of all the new chairs and tables it makes it hard to shoot pool at all. If they rotated the pool table it probably would not be a problem. There was also a bartender that stopped in who continued to vape in the bar, but was not on the clock. And their were also customers vaping with no one stopping them. There was also a dog that was brought in who the bartender seemed to know because she squatted and greeted with lots of pets. I have no clue if she washed her hands after that, especially since they now serve chads pizza.

If you've ever wondered what the inside of a lawnmower sounds like, be sure to attend one of their music acts, as the acoustics couldn't be worse. If you hate having bartenders that treat you with courtesy and prompt service, be sure to visit one of the hooligans they've got tending bar. If you're a masochist who enjoys a beating, go during the busy times, as the staff is happy to overserve aggressive drunks and then look the other way when hostilities commence. Don't forget the food, which has a quality that might be pleasing in a labor camp but seems subpar for paying customers. What a joint!

There were 2 guys playing cards but the rotating group of young, drunk 20 somethings- screamed that we were in the place. Bottles of beer were $3- all beer for $3.

(or maybe that is just my perception) I love this place for many reasons: 1.) The bartender (that I believe no longer works there but I still love her, Katie.) The reason I went there so much. 2.)

SALTY popcorn that taste amazing aka "crack" 6.) mini pitchers 7.) being allowed to dance around with my shoes off 8.) usually not crowded 9.)
