    Carry out of the Mexican Monday special: 4 beef tacos for $6.
    Kimberly K.

    Yes!! This is the quintessential Midwest neighborhood dive bar serving up excellent food and drinks. The bartender (Andy I think) was welcoming and friendly. There were a few local regulars inside that we struck up a conversation with. My husband had come to grab a carryout for Taco night and had our little dog with him. They seemed disappointed we didn't have our dog with us this time (he is a charmer!) but we spent an hour getting tips on everything we needed to do in Cedar Rapids and the surrounding area. So onto the food and drinks which is the important part. It's really good. Really really good. The Ruben had chunks instead of slices of corned beef that is made in the house. That morning that corn beef was cooked low and slow all day until it was just tender cuts of meat. Get yourself the Reuben. But there's also the Cubano sandwich and that was excellent as well. I only had a bite of my husbands because I was too focused on my own sandwich but the bite I had confirmed that the Cubano was another good choice. Monday's are taco night. We did a carry out and everything was packaged up carefully when we got back to our hotel. The prices were great. 4 pork belly tacos for $9 and 4 beef tacos for $5? That's a steal! Drinks were reasonably priced and they had different drink specials. I seem to recall beer specials but I don't drink beer so didn't pay close attention. Between the food, drinks, and hospitality Old Neighborhood Pub was a 5 star experience all around!

    Come for the live music, stay for the food and neighborhood dive vibes. I really enjoy hanging out here. The owner and her staff are super nice. The food is tasty - the specials are always over the top too. And the vibes are immaculate. Usually when I'm here it seems like a similar collection of people each time. They host a lot of local musicians and cool events. Tiny space, so come as you are with just a few friends.

    spectacular. Tender corned beef Fantastic kraut Just enough sauce to deliver the flavor Toasty perfection  This sandwich means business

    I love going to Old Neighborhood Pub or ONP as everyone calls it. They have an awesome menu with tons of choices of different delicious foods/meals. They have really good craft beer as well as a good variety of beer for everyone's different tastes. Also, all of their staff are friendly and kind! I especially love the atmosphere and the specials everyday. They also have a nice patio outside for good weather days. Great place to go with friends or to go and get away from life's stress!

    Mexican Monday!

    Stopped here the other day on a bike ride. They have a bike rack right out front. The patio area is spacious and they have the misters on surrounding the area on hot days! Mondays you can get 4 tacos for $5 or other taco deals including a foot long taco! I think that's a must try soon! Staff is very friendly and takes care of you. Prices are good, staff is great, and food is excellent - can't go wrong with Old Neighborhood Pub!

    Small menu but nice..

    I'd been wanting to.try this place for a long time and finally got the chance. The menu is limited, but they have great looking daily specials. It looks like just a small neighborhood bar, nothing special but don't judge a book it's cover. The daily special was a grilled tenderloin with smoked gouda on ciabatta. It came with either a sidevsalad or fries. The salad was certainly a surprise. Micro greens with house made dressing. Thevsamdwiches were perfect. Great seasoning and the flavor was unbelievably good. The fries were thick crinkle cut with light seasoning. They were great. Fried nice and crispy. Thevstafg is super friendly and helpful. We got food I would expect in a much higher end restaurant in a friendly neighborhood bar. I'll definately be returning and often!

I thought it was the restaurant that was featured on KCRG for their decorations. But boy was I glad I did. The place was decorated with all kinds of Christmas decorations like on the news and the place was festive. We had our best meal there we've had anywhere in a long time. This is a gem that needs to be upvoted. We ordered the $21 ribeye, thinking ya sure, ribeye for $21 where everywhere else is $30 to $40 dollars. It was delicious, perfectly done to my request, great sides of potatoes and zucchini and Chimichirri sauce. We also ordered the Asian Potsticker Salad. Again, just delicious. With two amber pints for happy hour we the best dinner in months. Help was exceptional and all employees looked to be very happy working there, I asked. Highly recommend, and we'll be going back to try all there other specialties.

I've never had a bad experience with the staff, though my friends and I usually sit at the bar. I used to get the Cuban on the pretzel roll back in the day but sadly the pretzel roll went away then so did the Cuban. One constant I've almost always have had is their Parmesan fries, they've always been a highlight either as a side to a burger or as an appetizer. Their version is easily some of the best fries I've ever had. The dipping sauce is on point, I recommend getting two of them. Something that has fallen off in recent years and I keep forgetting that fact, is their cheese wontons. I first fell in love with cheese wontons at Irish Democrat many moons ago and I've been chasing them ever since. They were good here once but not anymore - too much CRUNCHY wonton wrap and not enough cheese. People don't eat wontons for the wrapper, they go for the filling, if they didn't, that would be like going to Paris to see the frame and not the Mona Lisa. For these, the dipping sauce is always the best part of the dish. Overall it was a positive experience as usual. I will return.

But, the vibe and scene of The Famous Mockingbird channels the ghost of Campbell Steele and does it well. If you have a chance to see a concert/show here - here is what you need to know: 1) you can buy your tickets in advance with no service fee 2) arrive early (at least 30 mins) to get your seat, for general admission on a sold out show, you might go earlier. 3) speaking of seating, the venue consists of a few high top tables and bistro tables. Arrive early to snag one of these. There is also a few high top to the side of the "stage" and behind the stage area by the bar. Otherwise you stand. 4) it's a small venue, but not too loud. Very cozy and intimate with a cool vibe. 5) they only serve beer (mostly local and some light beer standards) and wine 6) the front of house offers some fun retail opportunities such as beautiful local jewelry and prints. I appreciate the great new rotation of artists The Famous Mockingbird will bring to the area. Please support them and live music!
