About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Old Town Social keeps it simple: We're a sports bar, with awesome beer and really great food. Watch your favorite teams on one of our 23 TVs (including private booths with their own televisions), while digging into our award-winning house-made charcuterie and gourmet bar-style food along with craft beers and cocktails. It's all the essentials you need for a solid night out.

On football game days, we're all about Iowa (NCAA) and the New England Patriots (NFL).

    Tacos were good tasting and great value. Kitchen was slow and we got there before the kitchen opened and it took them at least 45 min after opening time to serve our food, including a simple dish of nachos. The appetizer and our main dishes were served at the same time. Nachos & cocktails are marginal. Good beer selection, but trying to get a server to bring something or change a channel took forever. The set up was nice. You could have a group of 8 sit together in a booth with their own flat screen TV. I would go there for a beer and to watch a game, but I would get the TV set and send in an order immediately upon getting your table.

    We came in because the website listed a 99 ingredient Bloody Mary bar, yet when we arrived and tried to order them, we were told they no longer carried it. We were also underwhelmed by other items (avocado toast, grilled cheese, mimosas) and two friends ordered the old fashioned and each got something completely different. The women’s bathrooms were a joke (two toilets didn’t work, soap dispenser was laying on the counter, and the paper towel machine didn’t work). I used to love this place. We had an updated party of 12 and everyone felt the quality has gone downhill.

    They were closed. I got all the way to the restaurant and there was a sign that it wasn’t opening until the next day. Why would it allow me to book a reservation.

    The whole reason we went was for the Bloody Mary bar. They decided they didn’t feel like setting it up (on a holiday weekend no less?!) so that was disappointing. Dishes were dirty and food was mediocre- biscuits were over cooked and very hard. Waitress was nice, but overall experience wasn’t good. Wouldn’t return.

    Was disappointed that there was no bloody Mary bar (as advertised), also, no potato casserole. Fries with my eggs, no thank you. The employees were friendly.

    Unfortunately, our time spent here was not well used. No host was present to greet us as we walked in, and after waiting for 4-5 minutes, I walked over to the bartender to ask if we should just sit ourselves. Shortly after, the manager came over and took us to a table, gave us waters, and stated our server would be over in a moment. Approximately 12 minutes later (3 songs) our server came over to let us know they'll be back "shortly". Upon return (about another 10 minutes) they asked if we would like to order drinks. We informed them we actually had a lot of time to review the menu, and was able to tell them the drinks and food we wanted. At this point, we were not surprised to learn they did not have the ingredients to make two of their drinks, not serving fish tacos, veggie tacos, Buffalo Chicken Slider or their Cheesesteak. By this point, we all at one another, and agreed it would be best to leave. Our server asked if they should continue to at least order our drinks, and we can pay for those and then go. We must have been in-sync this evening, as we all giggled and said, "really?" We do not recommend this place unless you like to waste your time on bad server, and reading a menu without of items they don't have.

    The food I got was really good and that is the only nice thing I have to say. When we arrived at 7:15 on a Friday night we were told that multiple menu options were not available and it took 45 minutes for the waitress to come and take our order. Very disorganized. I would not come back
