Joe's Pub 5500 Merle Hay Road, Johnston, IA 50131

"Average bar with room for 20 or so at bar , tv for ball games easy to see. Barmaid was pleasant. Was there on Sat at 4 pm for fundraising event for Dog rescue company. Didn't order anything to eat since they were walking around with fish , tater tots etc they were cooking out back. Didn't look out back but it looks like there's an area where you can go out there probably good for the summer months."

"This place seriously has a familial vibe to it. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. Bartenders are the only ones I know who regularly leave the bar to check on drinks at your table while also making an effort to know everyone’s names and orders. Serves pizza here and has chips, nuts, slim jim’s, etc. Regularly has extra goodies out during the colder months too. All in all, this is one of the best bars you’re gonna find."

"Sabrina was the absolute BEST Bartender we’ve had in along time! Great drinks and great food, awesome atmosphere and and music!! Definitely recommend!"

"We went on a Thursday around 5:15 before we went to dinner. It was happy hour, so we got craft pints for $4.50. As soon as we walked in, I could tell it was clean. It smelled clean. Not typical for a bar! We sat at a high top and drank our beers. There’s pool, darts, slot machines, and a few other games. The music was good. The bathroom was clean. We’re new to this side of town, and have only been here once, but it seemed very friendly. We will definitely go back."

"Your atypical neighborhood bar. Loud music, darts, billiards, sports and drinks. Extremely limited food options though (only a certain brand of frozen pizza), which is a shame. I also had to Google the recipe of my requested cocktail for the bartender one visit. All in all, not a bad place to go and hang out after work but it's nothing to write home about either."
