Amazing selection of craft beers with a unique emphasis on sours. I love that they had an interesting beer from Waunakee, WI. The building is historic (used to be an Eagle’s Club).
History lovers will also want to notice the cement before walking in which notes Walter Chrysler’s “birth of an idea” — while working as the superintendent of motive power for the Chicago Great Western railroad in Oelwein, Walter Chrysler developed a keen interest in automobiles. This interest was sparked after experiencing mechanical issues with his friend’s Locomobile, an early automobile.
The building is super spacious and while we were there for RAGBRAI, it was jam packed and super noisy. They also offered nice looking pizza.
Places like this are helping inject a new feel into small Midwestern towns and I hope you visit and enjoy what these folks are creating downtown.

We have been multiple times and love this place! Great selection of beer, toys for the kids to play with (Lego wall!), and lots of space to spread out and relax. We also love bringing our own snacks and food for both adults and kids!

In a small town it’s hard to find a bar with a light open atmosphere, Ampersand has it!! Great space, lighting, and energy flow. Always rotating beers for new ones to try while also testing new cocktail variations.

Great new location. Someone has invested a lot of money into this location. They sell a lot of IPA and other craft beers but do not brew any of their own. We were not there to eat but i don’t think they offer any food options.

This place is beautiful and the service is amazing. Very upscale bar. The only thing I would change is they need a pool table. Otherwise great drinks and service and gorgeous place.
