About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Innovative
  • Good for groups
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!

    We've eaten here before and would not have this time, but we had a coupon, so we thought we'd try it again. The experience was the same. Seating - 1st time on the uncomfortable chairs. This time in a booth playing rocking horse with the person behind me. If you want comfort, don't go here. Ambiance - I understand this is a bar/restaurant. Don't expect a quiet, cozy dining experience. Service - waitress was pleasant and attentive but it took a while to get my margarita. Margarita - Lime blended with salt. I think it was just tequila and came with a lemon wedge!! Worst margarita I have ever had, ever! Food - The food was very good. Both trips. Overpriced but good value with coupons. That's about it. We probably won't be returning any time soon.

    The food itself was okay, but service was really bad. Normally don’t leave reviews but this was excessive. We ended up waiting over a half hour for drinks, and over an hour and 15 minutes for our food because they somehow lost our food order. After we were done, we had to wait another 20 minutes just to get the check- and this was after already talking to the manager about how long we’d been waiting/food being cold. We were there for over 2 hours.

    This was our first time at the restaurant. I think it was also our waitress's first night as she was very frazzled. I was disappointed that the putt-putt cost extra. The Connect Four game was broken and had beer spilled in it so for kids that was not great. Would be nice to have an appetizer basket or sampler. Very expensive night.

    Reservation for 6 at 6 was confirmed. My husband annd I arrived 45 minutes early to see empty reserved tables throughout the room. Was told my reservation was not valid and I was not offered anything to compensate for the inconvenience.. very disappointing open table and blue tavern have lost my respect

    We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We have retrained our staff on how to use OpenTable reservations to prevent similar issues. We hope you give us another chance. We are fairly new to OpenTable
