Fried clam strips, delicious, cheese curds, chicken wings, chicken gizzards, fries.... It's all really really good! Staff is super friendly, like they just rolled with it.

Wade and his staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating, and the patrons are a hoot to get to know. Thanks, Wade and crew, as well as your fantastic patrons; we will DEFINITELY be back to see you when we are in the area, no matter what brings us there. Slightly longer review: You're doing yourself a huge favor when you decide to stop in here... there's a great selection of craft brews, offering (at the time we stopped in) a well balanced variety of craft stouts, porters, lagers and ales as well as the well known National brands. There was a really good selection of liquors on display, and a fair stock of trimmings for mixed drinks, which the the friendly 'tenders aren't afraid to mix something inventive up - if you've a mind to it. The decor is museum-worthy and the patrons offer up great conversation. This bar is, without a doubt, in my top 3.

Drew was the bartender and was both friendly and knowledgeable. This is a taproom only but Drew told us that any of the nearby restaurants would deliver food and offered us menus to view. We ended up ordering salad and pizza from Pagliai's, grabbed a table outside and waited for our food to arrive. Meanwhile, Drew brought out plates, forks, napkins, and parmesan. So accommodating!

I'm really perplexed by the local reputation of Rabbit's Tavern among some people…read more I was visiting Grinnell from Philadelphia for 48 hours, because my band was playing at the college. As I interacted with different locals on Thursday after my arrival, asking for local recommendations of bars and restaurants, some people actively advised me not to go to Rabbit's Tavern. This made me want to go see what all the fuss was about. I showed up at Rabbit's Tavern on Thursday late afternoon. It happened to be $1 draft pints of Bud and PBR. Hung out for a while and had a great experience, so much so what I went in for a nightcap after dinner. And then I returned twice on Friday. So that's 4 visits in two days. I met lots of really nice people. Drinks were cheap. The bathrooms were clean. The jukebox played a good mix of music, i.e. genres were not filtered out as they are at many bars, so I heard everything from heavy metal to country to rap. Service was solid. One of my friends who was traveling with me agrees with the five star rating. On Friday night, a group of us from Philly were supposed to go out with a group from Grinnell, and we said let's meet at Rabbit's Tavern. I was the first one there. As I sat there chatting with friendly locals, I got a text saying that the locals in our "party" wouldn't go to Rabbit's Tavern, so everybody was going to Solera instead. Except they showed up at Solera and it was closed. So everybody went to the generic bar at the hotel, which is the same as every other hotel bar in the world. I don't get it. Anyway, I had an awesome time at Rabbit's Tavern and would definitely come back if ever I find myself in Grinnell again.

He yelled at some man and he ended up leaving after like 2 drinks. It was the worst experience of being in a bar ever!!! I do not recommend going to Rabbits when Chace (or what ever his name is ) is working ! There were so many other people he was at as well. He was doing more shots than actually waiting on customers. I know I asked twi for a drink and he pr to help 2 other people then went to the bathroom and then asked if I wanted another drink! THIS was the WORST treatment I have ever experienced as a customer EVER!!!

They have pretty much all of their brews on tap, plus their own root beer if you can't or don't want to drink alcohol. There's also a few (Amana) snacks and usually a food truck. They have a large patio out front that is super nice right around sunset. The staff has alway been friendly (they gave my two year-old a tiny "shot" of root beer for free the last time I was there). Definitely worth a visit the next time you are at the Amanas!

My husband ordered the special which was a pork chop and I had a Reuben hamburger. It was really big. The hamburger might've been a bit overdone. Friend had a chicken croissant sandwich and said it was delicious. Her hubby had a whisky burger and enjoyed it. We had a dessert pretzel and weren't able to finish it. It was just sweet enough to be a nice ending to the meal. Everyone said their beers were good. I wanted to have a Coke zero but the machine wasn't working and the owner wasn't there to fix it. I had iced tea instead and it was not good. It's bright and clean and a nice place to meet for lunch
