Throw back dive bar for sure!! Not as expected for Main Street Cedar Falls, and not really a local…read moreneighborhood stop. 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. Getting drunk cheap appeared easy to do. If you forgot what a smoke filled bar smells like- this place will take you right back to that smell- pretty sure the paneling is original and every pour absorbed the lost smells.

So I know this bar is not the classiest place you will ever stroll into...but you should be…read moreguaranteed a good time. (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.) Good stiff drinks that are cheap 3.) Pool tables 4.) Juke Box that plays Janis Joplin, David Bowie and other generally good songs (when your drunk) 5.) 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.) "Talk Sex with Sue" would be playing on the TV 10.) annoying frat boys got kicked out by the bartender for being annoying 11.) etc. 12.) etc.

Not wrong with it, really. I went because the reviews seemed like the kind of place I'd like to…read morehangout at. And it was a great place, just not a lot of room. 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

After months of raving from friends, I finally got to experience Octopus for the first time earlier…read morethis winter and immediately got the hype. I love a humble dive bar, but add live music, and that's a winning combo. Octopus GETS it and does it well. From big names to fresh faces, you're guaranteed good tunes here. They've also got late night snackies! Highly recommend stopping in. You might even get to pet a dog!

They spin cool records all afternoon and evening on the weeknights, and they have live music on the weekends. The beer garden is sick. The bartenders are cool. Definitely worth a look.

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!
