Tap Rooms Iowa

Any news on kinship?

Hoping someone good takes over that spot
That rent has to be insane. Can’t say I was surprised when they closed down. Only brewery in Iowa that makes sense to me would be Toppling, but they wouldn’t do that.

Toppling is planning to build in the Drake neighborhood

Haven’t seen any updates on that recently either but I think the timeline was 2025

pipe dream but would love if someone like Surly or Boulevard would take it over and make it a tap room, of sorts
 
Going to make my yearly trip to the CR area to check out a few places.

Planning on checking out Field Day in North Liberty for the first time, drive to CR and drop off the car, and go to Lion Bridge and Clock House. Not sure on dinner but will probably go to Need Pizza since it's walking distance to the hotel. Excited to check out Field Day, I've heard great things.
I recommend checking out The Map Room. It’s a cool little bar/restaurant with good food and beer on 3rd. If you like a good Italian beef then go to Gianna’s also on 3rd.

From the outside looking in, that place was poorly managed. They started off really strong but at one point their food menu, which was pretty good, totally changed and the food was awful. From what I understand, they lost their first chef and struggled with finding someone who knew what they were doing in the kitchen, along with what appeared to be staffing issues. IMO the beer wasn't good enough to carry it on its own. It's too bad because they were right on the bike trail, had a fantastic outdoor space, and a dog park.

Yes, we've been there and liked it. The last time we went, the next day pretty much everything shut down because of covid. It was the last time we ate out for months.
 
Field Day had some excellent beer. The Lion Bridge tap list kind of sucked. Clock house continues to be the best beer in the area IMO.

On a side note, there are few things better than watching the cyclones win, while in hawkeye country.
 
Well it’s official. Kinship will not be back.

I don't think any of us ever want to see businesses close but man, I just didn't care for their beer. Like Mistess.
