Seemed unprofessional, rude, and 100% will not be coming back. Unbelievable behavior from a grown woman. Screaming in everyone's face and a very nasty attitude. Visiting from out of town and will avoid this place at all costs next time. Really awful first impression and seems to be for locals only. Really still hoping that wasn't the owner behaving so belligerently. Yikes.

I went to Valley Monster Pub with my boyfriend on our Quad City trip after we were recommended to…read morego there from a bartender at Parkside Brewing Company nearby. They had a very cool interior, with tap handles lining their walls and all sorts of neat antique items. Their seating options were limited but the table we sat at was very cool because of how it was made and had comics and such incorporated into the top of the tables. They sell beer from breweries but don't make their own, which was fine as they had some food craft beers on tap. Inside the lights were very dim but it added to the whole mood of the pub. The bartender was quiet but proficient at his job. A neat little place to stop and have a drink.

They hit the spot! The sandwich was fine, the bread was fresh but the meat was too thick and had more fat on it than I would like. The server was very nice and prompt with refills and the place felt clean. I just felt like the experience was 'okay' and I don't know that I would head back there anytime soon when there is a lot more to explore downtown Cedar Rapids.

Myself and some friends stayed in the Quad Cities en route to Chicago and a game at Wrigley Field…read more The atmosphere on a Friday evening was chill--not overly loud but an entertaining enough crowd to socialize with. The bartending staff were attentive and they poured a good drink. The beer list is on a board on the right-hand side of the bar. Lots of different taps from area brewers, but they seemed to be of the ubiquitous nature--Bikini Bottom from Five Cities and of that nature. A good selection, but nothing unique.

I got the chicken george which is classic for the area, and it was pretty on par for what you get anywhere else. I wonder if they all buy from the same supplier.

The staff they have are great but they are running almost on a dead sprint! We listened to a phone ring for 2-3min and NO one made an attempt to answer it. These poor girls need more help!

The environment is nice and clean, with many tv's for viewing mostly sports! Which is love! The price of the food is well worth what you get in quality and quantity!

Found out about this hipster restaurant in Sterling that has some kind of industrial theme to it…read more It certainly has a kind of out of the way location. The Factory Pub N Grub is found among old factories and warehouses. Among the more interesting places to drink and eat. You can get cheaper beers along with a few vegetarian choices so great stuff. Coming here the first time it wasn't crowded. It's got a bigger than expected interior. The bar is in the middle and there's plenty of tables. A great thing is they have discounted beers. It's about $2 to get beers they're trying to get rid of from previous events or whatever. A lot of the menu is meaty. Still there's a few plant based things. It's about $15 for an Impossible Burger. This comes with the usual burger toppings. Great place with an industrial hipness about it. It's closed Sundays. The menu is meaty but there's a few things for vegetarians.
