One Twenty Six is a classic French American bistro in the heart of Iowa City. Conveniently located downtown, you can enjoy great food and then attend a concert, show or any other events. The food is great, the servers are lovely and the portions are generous which is nice at a restaurant of this style.

A classic, sophisticated interior with a long elegant mahogany bar dominating one side of the restaurant. The wood fire oven can be seen no matter where you are seated, the tables are adorned with real linen and quality silverware. Service is always good which is a step up from a usual college town joint.

If you want a burger, fries and beer (or spirits) Short's is the place for you, as it is all they do and they do it remarkably well. With many toppings and combinations for the burgers, fries cut and made in house, and their extensive beer menu featuring a plethora of local Iowa micro brews.

A fun neighborhood pub in University Heights. Stella is the big sister restaurant of Short's Burgers & Shine that we just talked about has has many of the same burgers and options. If you're looking for a comfortable pub experience with good burgers and great local beer, this is a great place to make a stop at.
