Here at Tavern Blue our philosophy is work hard, play harder! As a group of local residents raising our families in Iowa we have grown to love it here, but still find ourselves missing the laid back beach vibes of the Pacific, Mediterranen, and European coasts we also call home. We wanted to bring a piece of this lifestyle to Iowa and the result is Tavern Blue.Inspired by life on the water, Tavern Blue is a casual environment offering authentic brick oven wood-fired pizza, a full sized bar with local craft beers, wines and signature cocktails, and plenty of options for gaming and entertainment.Our mini golf course is one of a kind: boats, jet skis and sailboats dot the landscape as you navigate through our 9-hole course that is both unique and challenging.We also have a variety of entertainment options including professional foosball tables, super sized Jenga and Connect 4. Or you can watch your favorite game on the bar’s 8 TVS or the big screen!

Welcome to LP Street Food. This reservation is for our dining room. Looking for our igloos? Head to www.lpstreetfood.com/igloos. Our menu is inspired by the streets of America. We’ve taken our cue from food carts, food trucks, street hawkers and walk-up windows all around the country, putting our own spin on creations originally dreamed up by people just like you and me. This isn't a place where you come to guess at how to pronounce half of the things on the menu. This is a place where you come to enjoy a fresh twist on culturally rich, gastronomically delightful street foods that we all know and love.To round it all out, our drink menu is crafty & fun, featuring a carefully selected but not overwhelming assortment of beers, spirits and cocktails inspired by tropical areas. Who doesn’t enjoy a deliciously fruity libation? We are everyday people who like what we like… we’re fun, not fancy.

Tribute is a great place when you're looking for something a bit different than typical bar food. Very unique touches that I've never gotten anywhere else in the area. Service was wonderful, too! Do yourself a favor and order the black and blue chips. They're fantastic!
