I can say with confidence that this place is always a vibe. For college hill it’s nice, especially if you like the more indie/alternative scene. With live music and events, partnerships with local artists/food trucks (la Calle), there’s always something interesting happening down here. Admittedly the regular crowd on slower nights can feel a bit odd, but overall this is a good place to relax and enjoy a cheap Hamm’s.

Blown away!
Octopus is a super cool place to chill or grab a drink. It’s especially fantastic for live, #localmusic and to support local musicians. (We heard that 100% of ticket sales goes directly to the band/performers – Every. Single. Show!)
It had been on my list forever and only took ten + years to get there, but hey, we finally made it from Kansas. (And for the one and only, HOLS! The lead singer/guitarist of House of Large Sizes, Dave Deibler, owns the bar.) Grab a drink on the back patio, or like we did on night one of two, grab a pizza from Chad’s on the corner too, and enjoy the atmosphere at one of the patio tables. We made friends from all over the midwest out back.
*Staff – Fantastically friendly.
*Bartenders – Fast and skilled.
*Vibe – Amazing.
*Music Scene – Brilliant (for anywhere, but impressively so, for Iowa)!

I’m a huge fan of the Octopus. Phenomenal atmosphere, drinks, and music. Definitely a more mature crowd – be on the lookout for your professors!

The Octopus is a pretty good venue to attend for a chill vibe and good live music. I love that they have singer-songwriter nights every first Wednesday of the month! I had stopped coming here, (after performing a few times with my band), because of a creep that was always around but if you have others with you that you trust, it can be a great night out!

I have never been to a bar with such an upbeat, very welcoming atmosphere. The live music was amazing to listen to and the bands got 100 percent of the door charge. The bartenders were walking around making sure everyone had what they needed with nothing but a smile on their face.
They have an amazing sounds system so the three bands I listened to was easy to hear in the back of the room. There sound guy is awesome and so fun to work with.
The bathroom was so surprising and fun to walk into. It’s plastered with lots of notes on the wall from previous customers leaving their mark, fun stickers, and very cheerful.
I will definitely make this my hang out. They have a variety of different entertainment and owned by a professional singer who knows how to entertain and have a great time.

Octopus is a bit of an institution: following in the footsteps of places like Steb’s and Pour Richards. Dave is a huge supporter of local and regional musical artists of all shapes and sizes. There’s always a cheap beer for those with just a few bucks in their pocket; and plenty of crafts for a few bucks more. They recently expanded their space adding some food items in the process. Popcorn is always available for those with munchies. Lots of regulars for sure. Guests should feel welcome. If you don’t bump into a friend…you can quickly make one at the bar. Thank you Octopus for your continued commitment to The Hill and the local/regional music scene.
