I’ve been here approximately 4 times. I have enjoyed myself every time. The bartenders are awesome! Very friendly and they know how to mix a drink. I feel like I fit in as far as the atmosphere. I love humor and I can tell that the owner must have a great sense of humor based on the posters hanging. Another thing…. I appreciate a clean bathroom and they obviously clean it often.

Staying in town for work and I knew a coworker enjoyed whiskeys, so I searched Google maps for whiskey and a review of the Q came up and it was within walking distance of our hotel. So glad we stopped in. The owner happened to be working, and the ambiance was great and the old fashions were great too. Would gladly recommend this place to anyone in the area (the only food they serve is local pizza, which looked good but we had already eaten}.

service was great, bartender had a good sense of humor. The signs all over the place were a lot of fun to read. it was pretty quiet when we went there but I’m told on that particular day it was abnormally quiet so I imagine it’s busier most other times.

This place is easy to miss entirely. A bar in a strip mall shared by a T Mobile store, a salon, and an FSBO homes outlet…if it weren’t for the beer and liquor neon signs on the storefront, I’d have still been wondering what the place was. I guess Google maps helped too – they tend to be pretty accurate at identifying what businesses generally do.
The overall appearance of the interior is not entirely cohesive. There’s the normal mix of high top table seating and stools at the bar that’s common at bars. The floors are a nice looking wood laminate – that was common enough, but clean in overall appearance. The lighting is also nicely done in the space – evenly dispersed incandescent or incandescent-like suspended metal fixtures are present throughout the space, providing a warm, low light level. The ceiling area, however, is fractured in overall appearance. The area behind the bar contains 2 x 4 foot drop ceiling tiles, while the rest of the drinking space is uncovered with visible wooden support frames, HVAC ductwork, and conduit.
The area behind the bar is pretty interesting. The metallic or metallic-looking patterned tile were a neat accent, especially when paired with the yellow-orange strip lighting throughout. This also provided a nice way to partially illuminate the liquor bottles displayed along the bar.
I was ready to order my standard Gin and Tonic and asked the bartender what their selection of gin included. She mentioned they had an orange flavored Tanqueray, what I’ve now come to understand was Tanqueray Sevilla Orange. This was something new for me, so I opted to try this in a Gin and Tonic. That was a good decision, as this is one of the best Gin and Tonics I’ve had in a while. The drink was smooth with light orange citrus notes throughout. If this is on offer when I’m out in the future, I’d definitely get this again.
Probably not at The Q, though. I know I wrote some things about the ceiling that were a little picky. These aesthetic choices don’t bother me severely – general ambient noise level does, however. The music was playing at a volume just above what I’d consider too loud. The effects were clear – the other 10 or so people in the bar were all talking far louder than normal just to be heard above the music. This is a big turn-off for me when places do this. I come out for a drink or two and some generally quiet conversation if I’m in a group. This place definitely wouldn’t service this need.
To be fair, The Q has a back patio area that wouldn’t be feasible to use in the current winter weather. I’d consider visiting again in warmer weather and sitting in this area. In the meantime, I’d probably still stop in for a drink to wait for a significant other with a salon appointment or to shop for a phone if either of those specific scenarios were to arise. There’s both TVs with sports and darts to pass the time.

One star! KIDDING!!! ALL THE STARS!!!! This place is SO FUN!!!! I stayed at the Hilton next door and saw they had a “Shitty Wine Wednesday” special and had to see what this place was all about. They have funny signs everywhere and the drop claw machine prizes are must-see to believe. I met the owner when I stopped by for free pizza Friday morning between 6am-9am and she is awesome. Wishing her and the bar continued success!

The Q is an awesome place to relax with some adult beverages. Amber the owner is awesome. Always coming up with great specials and fun things to do like rockstar bingo, karaoke, and giveaways during Iowa games. The covered patio out back is wonderful to sit and visit at. Nikki and Katie the other two bartenders are very friendly and witty and always ready to take care of their customers. If you haven’t been to The Q you are definitely missing out!
