I Found a Bar on an Island in Iowa

As an Iowan I completely agree, we need better pulltab options. 👍👍

Come on up to MN, we'll take care of you!

what are pool tabs

What are pulltabs?

[@mikeengland80]

@@schmucklesux6468 They are a form of lottery. Minnesota has way better ones lol

[@SanDukey]

@@schmucklesux6468 easiest way to describe them is a cardboard slot machine. Little squares of cardboard with (typically 3) perforated tabs that you pull open to see if you've got a winner.

I have a feeling she's gonna be making more rum buckets after this 😂

[@mrgoogan]

I'd like to taste her rum bucket

[@jamesdewane1642]

K. I was doubting the veracity of the alcohol consumption, but the flushed face right after the rock skipping, boy I seen that before

[@macq1]

I live in IL. We do enjoy taking road trips to our neighboring states and I have been here. The area is beautiful and though I didn't stop in this bar, I did turn around in their parking lot to head back home. What a small world.

Are you part Norwegian, Ben? I know several people with the last name "Myklebust" here in Norway.

[@Tex-Toons]

@@GoingNorthObv Yes sir! My grandfather is from Ålesund. I visited there about 15 years ago. It is such a beautiful country - I can’t wait to go back someday. It’s also a goal of mine to learn the language. It’s not going well, I know 3 or 4 phrases.

[@GoingNorthObv]

@@Tex-Toons Alright, cool! Yeah, it's quite magical. Eventhough I have traveled alot outside of Norway; traveling around Norway just fills me with some insane positive energy. Dramatic landscape for sure. People say Norwegian is quite easy to learn, so I guess you've just got to find the time and grind out a few long sessions. Once you hear a few words you've learned, you can quite easily piece together what the person you're having a conversation with mean with the sentence/question being posed. If you ever swing by; snowboarding during june/july 30 minutes away from the sea which usually holds 68f++ with bbq opportunities and bluebird weather at Folgefonna glacier is something I definitely recommend if you're into skiing, snowboarding, or just hiking. Holy shit that was a novel. My bad 😂

[@oldirtylemons]

I love this guy. He is the heartbeat of Midwest.

[@TailTaleOutdoors]

"Good luck. I don't usually make em." Has got to be a staple for small town bars.

[@DIAMONDBACK__6]

the rum bucket looks dangerously fun

[@546people]

You could tell this bucket got him more tipsy than usual. Thanks for the content.

[@russellmeyer1]

I love Sabula! But you were sooooo close to the Poorhouse Tap in Camanche...you should hit it next time on your way to B & S in Follets😉

[@modjohnsenglishdisco]

There used to be a great pizza place/bar in Sabula called Bombfire. Sadly the owner passed and I don' think it's still around.

[@recott84]

Yeah, unfortunately it's no longer in business

[@ericvaughn1126]

Love the older fella next to ya who did not give a DAMN and clearly had that "Doesn't this guy work?" and "Get the eff out of my bar." vibe going. The bartender seemed to be barely tolerating the event too and was obviously not super comfortable on camera either. Hysterical. Also, for a guy who grew up with a lake house, you can't skip a rock worth a damn. That is all.

Yeah there is more than corn in Iowa, there are cows and more pigs than we can count, oh and soybeans. Then there is Okoboji, Field of Dreams, Court Center (downtown Des Moines) and then some of the best small town bars you can ask for!

[@WildmantheBigBlur]

I'm from Iowa and hearing u say iowa is a second home to u... it made my day. U rock man!

[@jantelliquawallace355]

I've ridden a bicycle across 31 states so far. Been to a LOT of small town bars. My favorite was in eastern Montana. Bar tender/owner was a smaller woman. Had some sort of refrigerated device behind her. 20 some odd doors about shoulder height. "Can I get a pbr?" With out looking shed just throw a back fist and a cold pbr would drop in her hand. I drank extra heavily that day just to watch. Nice place. I'd recommend it but they didn't have a sign....or much of a town really.

[@kinge3299]

This was the best one so far. 😂😂😂😂

[@7B-NorthIdaho]

Love the small town bars! Awesome job! Venture out west to north Idaho and see how small the home town bars are! Lol! Try the Tervan in Sandpoint Idaho! Lol! Love it!

[@maorange1]

Welcome to Iowa and I hope you enjoyed your time here.

[@GreekMoon]

Come to Potosi, WI! Haverlands Bar or Yoders Rockville Bar! 😁🍻

[@AngieandChuckShow]

It's favorite bar. When we come to town.🍺🍺👍

[@patricksmith7574]

Lol, I stop at this bar a couple times every year for the past 20 years. It’s now a destination like poopies.

[@stevenkurinec4194]

So I know it's not Iowa, but you gotta visit Blarney's Island out on the Grass lake in Antioch Illinois. It's the place to be if lakes and boats and drinking is your thing.

[@johnmiller5987]

The sin pit. I would not bother. Bunch of fibs

[@PlantedinSpace]

as a canadian who was staying with two ppl from wiso in savannah, IL last year which is right across the river......such a good video

[@michellemcclintock135]

I live across the Mississippi River from Sabula. I actually saw someone I know at that bar- so funny!! Maybe you can come back and stop into Savanna,IL

[@Snoop1079]

Dude I lost it when you hit the Island Boy part. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@siris1113]

As someone who grew up in Southeast Iowa I can say this is the most Iowan bar i have ever seen, aside from one in a small town not too far from lake Rathbun.

[@Niagara716]

Great timing! I'm planning a run out to Wyoming in my van and was scouting out cool stuff between here in Buffalo, Ny and thattaway. Bonus if the bar owner will let me overnight my van in the parking lot..its my home on the road 😎

[@matthewweldin7888]

I bet you 10,000 dollars that she lets you park that sweet ride in her lot for the night.

[@aliciaclark8957]

There is a campground on the island. Not sure how much it costs, but it is worth a drive through.

[@Niagara716]

@@aliciaclark8957 Thanks 😎

[@bradwatters996]

Dude i grew up 15 mins from there. I know everyone there 😂. If you get back down that way you gotta check out bs general store in folletts. Just a short drive down river road. Its the best dive bar in the midwest.

[@orampage1_462]

You should go to Hawg Dogs across the bridge in Savanna, IL they’ve also got a haunted Speakeasy above the bar!

[@quincypinemuffin8199]

I am sure you get suggestions all the time, but the FIB's got this on stilts called Blarney Island its a tourist attraction maybe not small Midwest bar.
