10 Drunkest Places in Iowa...

Been there a time or 10, though it's been a while. Is it still wicked nasty inside?
I always like Pat's Tap on 4th Street in Waterloo, provided it's still around. They had CHEAP drinks.
been forever since i have been. i bartended there briefly in 1990-91.
not many places like the Alpine in the late 80's early 90's. Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire was the juke box favorite
Good ole Tuck's Place in IC in the late 80's would give anywhere a run for their money. Someone almost always face down on the bar and one other peckin corn. Saw the owner slap drunks in the face to wake them up and boot them out the back door into the alley....ahhhh memories.
Tuck's was near Hamburg Inn. I think there is a bar in that location still, but I am not sure. I don't get into IC all that often these days.
Tuck sold it in the late 90's and it was Hannarhan's for about 6-7 years, The new owner cleaned it up quite a bit and sold it to the woman who owns Shakespeare's and the old Mike's Tap (I don't know what that is called now). The new name of Tuck's is I.C Ugly's which is probably the worst name of a bar I have ever heard.
and I will add that I am very surprised that IC isn't on the list. There appear to be many more drunks out on a weekend night in IC than CR from my experience in both towns. Living in N Liberty I try to avoid Iowa City on the weekends during the school year.
Complete and total BS!!!! The top 100 drunkest places in Iowa would be the access points to living along any of the commonly flooding rivers in Iowa. I'm talking the houses on stilts along rivers like the Wapsi. If you have to buy your beer by the glass or your whiskey by the shot, you aren't getting drunk enough.
When you:
1) Wake up and pop open a beer on Tuesday morning. Now you're talking about a chance at top 100 drunkest places.
2) Wake up using your tire as a pillow. While it's still on the truck! Now you're talking about a chance at top 100 drunkest places.
3) Take a walk in the dark and hit water, not knowing if it's a puddle or the river, and you keep walking? Now you're talking about a chance at the top 100 drunkest places.
4) When mosquito's die upon biting you?
5) When passing boats are your way of picking up girls...whether they know it or not.
6) When your best buddy is looking down the barrel of his potato launcher wondering why nothing came out, and he's still trying to light it.
7) When it starts raining and survival means climbing up the bank before it's too late...and no one abandons the 55 gallon cooler.
8) When people pass around "samples" in Mason Jars.
All that? You might be in one of the 100 drunkest places. But who is counting?

Angry's only one kind of unlovable drunk. You have the cheaters, the neglectful, the big spenders, the accident-prone, the people with terrible tastes in music/TV/movies when they're drinking, and the lawyers who are quick to pour after each 14-hour day.
forgive him he is still new to the whole marriage concept. i kid of course natural. i wish you guys good luck in trying to get the divorce rate below 50%.

I lived two blocks down from Tuck's. Best townie bar ever. LOTS of day drinkers there. On Wednesdays, they had drafts of Hamms for 25 cents! I'd go down with $5 and get drunk and play pool. Best cheap entertainment in my entire life.
I'm guilty of the bad TV watcher and karaoke type. I once broke into an underground illegal karaoke bar in Seoul or that's how I wish to remember the story.
Based on what I've seen on the internet, there's no way karaoke is illegal anywhere in Seoul. Just an observation, not asking for any details.
Edit:
Buddy. The first rule of Underground Karaoke is nobody talks about Underground Karaoke.
I would have thought that too, but these bars came with a private room and singing hostesses who couldn't hold a tune if you get my meaning. They also served squid which seemed appropriate to my thinking.Based on what I've seen on the internet, there's no way karaoke is illegal anywhere in Seoul.

Edit:
Tuck's was great. They used to have a big party, well it was just the regulars drunker than their normal drunk, on April 15. Clarence was a regular who's birthday was also April 15, so I had a shot with him on his 75th bday. Good times.
