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!

We walked in and immediately greeted by both a server and the bartender. Lots of comfortable tables, a large bar, and an area to play pool and throw darts. Once we found a table we realized how family-friendly the restaurant was as there was a section of board games, card games, group games that people could come in and just play as they were enjoying their evening. Our server was friendly, suggesting a drink special and letting my husband sample a couple of beers before he settled on a local ale, and the bartender very easily switched the drink special from a vodka base to a bourbon base. I highly suggest a Kentucky Mule at this place! We ordered fried corn nuggets as an appetizer, which came out quickly and were very yummy. My husband ordered the steak sandwich which was well prepared and not overcooked. I had the broasted chicken with mashed potatoes and corn and was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes. As we left, we chatted with the bartender, and then the owner of the business and they were the nicest people. Asking why we were visiting the town, where we were traveling to, where we were from, and even going so far as to compliment my nails! This restaurant is a must-try when you are in the area.

There is a state mental facility outside of Independence, Iowa, and hence the theme of the Sanity Room. But don't think it's cold and creepy. No. The owners have gone to great lengths to make this an inviting place complete with the unique chairs, private small booths, and kitschy motto signs surrounding the place (one of my faves: "I can only please one person per day. Today I choose me."). They serve shots in pill bottles and syringes, and the staff will even make you don a patient gown, sit in the old hospital bed (vintage and they claim it came from the state hospital), and then administer the shots while wearing a doctor's coat. Genius! After you are vaccinated, you get a sticker. As if the booze wasn't awesome enough! And let's talk about the booze. This is a full bar that also features some great craft and local beers, as well as a local wine. Iowa wine, you ask? It was by far the best I sampled and I bought a bottle. Yeah, you can buy their stock too, if they have enough. As for specialty cocktails? Look no further than the bloody mary made with Chardonnay. That's right, I said the bloody mary is made with wine. And it's delicious. Since wine doesn't have as much alcohol as vodka, you might have to drink a lot to get the same effect, but with a taste like this you won't mind. The Sanity Room does seem to be a work in progress as they only have one unisex bathroom but they are working on more accommodations. Still, it's small so you can't imagine there would ever be a long line. It also sits in the back of an antique store, so blink and you might miss it. I know we did the first time we walked by, but the second time we took a chance and walked in and I am so glad we did! There's even a back patio area that overlooks the Wapsipinican River. The only bad thing would be that there are no TVs in the Sanity Room. I question if this would change the integrity of the bar, as it might compromise the theme and inviting nature. But I am a sports nut and there would be nothing better than belly up at the bar, drinking a glass of La T Da & watching the game! Seriously, if you're ever in Independence and you don't stop in here, you're missing out. I can't wait to get back and get my dose of Sanity!
