Cedar Rapids game watch

[Rogue52]

I don't go to any bars in Marion.


I never go to Marion for few drinks. Cops are way to aggressive driving around with the speed cameras running and picking up anyone for a minor infraction.

I don’t really know what you are talking about here. I’ve lived in Marion for 6 years and never had a problem like this and I go out a lot regularly driving from downtown CR, through downtown Marion, and to my home. Louie’s is a one minute drive in from Cedar Rapids.

In any case, I agree with some here that it would be nice to try a different place, but it would be good to work through alumni association so it is actually coordinated. With basketball season coming up, perhaps we can do that since currently regular gamewatches aren’t sponsored. I reached out to try and help with that this season since I’d be willing to go to a Gamewatch for most basketball games. I agree Louie’s is not the best bet in CR, but they’ve done a nice job of catering to ISU fans even if Hawks are playing at same time.

Anyone know a place in Cedar Rapids that will have the basketball game on Saturday?

 

[Jeffwork]

Local Craft Ale House - 4001 Center Point Rd NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402 will have it. this used to be Prime Time, new owners. If you are in to craft beer they have a variety from all over Iowa.

Tanner's had a short 5 month run. I think the only place that had a shorter run in CR was the brand new RockTop (now Axel's). I think Rocktop lasted 4-5 weeks. It amazes me how people build restaraunts and right away they learn they can't make money.

Rocktop was a ****-show

For as bad as Axels and Rocktop were 30 hop is amazing. I go there legitimately once a week

Agree. I've liven in Marion for 2 decades and have gotten 1 speeding ticket. I ALWAYS speed.

However, I do hate the drive to Cedar Rapids and will be moving. I actually don't like Marion.

Went there once. I didn't find it amazing at all. I'm probably too cheap but I thought it was overpriced. Not bad food or anything like that. In fact, they have some neat menu items. I can't say I know how they taste!

Looks like I may need to give it another try.

Local Craft will play audio of the Iowa football game at the same time. Just a warning if anyone takes that on.

I'd add Brick Alley in Marion to the list.

This is true of virtually any bar in Cedar Rapids. Games are on different times this weekend so it won't be an issue.

The more recent question in this thread was about the basketball game on PAC 12 Network not the football game later that night. The basketball game is on at the same time as the Iowa football game.

The original thread was from two years ago.

Local Craft just added a FB event for the Iowa game so just beware if you go there.
