The Sports Page of Mason City — Restaurant in Mason City

My wife and I went to this newly opened bar/restaurant just before a hockey game. The place was packed. Luckily we got a couple of seats at the bar right away. However, we waited about 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order even though the bartenders were directly in front of us. They would simply look at us waving cash and walk away or never look at us at all. On that night, there were 5-6 bartenders and several roaming waitresses. Finally, my wife got a little snippy when she got a bartender’s attention to take our drink order.

Moral of the story: if they are busy, be aggressive with your drink order or you may not get served!

Aside from that, the bar is nicely decorated; it’s simple but classy and clean. There are some dart games when you walk in, loads of seating, TONS of big screen TVs, a couple of pool tables, and an ATM. I did not see what the bathrooms were like. The actual bar top is plastic but looks like granite. From what I understand, they serve food though we did not order any and I cannot report about that. The drink prices were very reasonable at just $2.25 per beer!

I will be back to give them...

This new bar & grill has been open for a month now. Was here between 12pm-12:40pm on Tuesday (1/28/20). Approx 40-60 other customers (slow period; evenings I've seen a good 200+) with 3 servers & 2 bar staff at the time. The food was great with decent prices. The downside was the service because it seems like instead of assigned tables between servers its just first come first serve which seems to cause a lack of communication so at times we'd be asking for certain items such as silverware to condiments after receiving our food (neither was provided on any tables) by one server; then we'd have another server asking us again shortly after if we needed anything while the one we originally asked is off on...

I think a lot of the negative reviews were when this place first opened and/or when there was a home hockey game. They are locally owned business that just opened so I feel like you need to cut them some slack. We chose to go there on a snowy day (midday) knowing it would be less busy. The kids played pool while we waited for our food. There's also video games and dart boards and plenty of TVs. Our service was one of the best we've ever had. I highly recommend the fried pickles. They were delicious!! I love that they are part of the mall and helping the revitalization of our downtown. I have no doubt that they will...
