While it didn't work out that way, I was sadly extremely disappointed by this place. Many people in our group were mad and the owners treated us ridiculously. Please do not go here.

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!

Free popcorn and snacks and huge selection of local and regional beers both on tap and in a bottle! The bar is owned by legendary House of Large Sizes band leader Dave Diebler who is a great story teller and will talk rock n roll with you all night! If your ever in Cedar Falls you got to stop here and get a brew, the people rule, the bar is rad and it's right on college hill!

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.

(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.

"Stupid beer" is the mass-marketed domestic, watery, flavorless crap most often offered at nearly every other blasted bar. Oh, no; If I want a super-hopped IPA, I can get it. An oatmeal stout? NO PROBLEM. Perhaps a porter, or maybe a craft brew? They have it. It is a beer oasis in a sea of swill.

Service was so-so. Ambiance was satisfactory. Would I recommend this place, CERTAINLY NOT! There are much better options for steak places, such as Montage which is no comparison and MUCH BETTER but we couldn't get reservations.

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
