Having spent countless evenings savoring cheap, expertly mixed drinks like the legendary green tree frog, this dive bar captures the perfect balance of lively energy and genuine camaraderie among locals and college newcomers alike. The cozy interior, complete with a unique wooden bar top, pool table, and a tucked-away outdoor alleyway patio, invites endless hours of relaxed conversation, spirited games, and unforgettable memories.

This bar has become a cherished part of my life, especially during my time in Ames. The energetic atmosphere, friendly staff, and affordable drinks create an inviting environment that keeps me coming back. Every visit brings a sense of nostalgia and the joy of connecting with both regulars and newcomers alike.
