The Boat House - Sioux City

The Boat House has become a favorite in Sioux City. They have 16 cold beers on tap, a wide variety of Carbliss and White Claw beverages, domestic cans and bottles, and some of your hard-to-find favorites beers. The food has been a good variety of bar-style items that take me back to the bar that was the only restaurant in the small town I grew up in, but has been kicked up a notch with the introduction of fresh-made pizzas and new wings. Now that they're open for lunch, I've found myself stopping by at least once a week for a quick midday bite, too. A couple nights each week they will do Music Trivia or General Knowledge Trivia, with themed trivia nights every couple weeks. They also have axe throwing, pool tables, dart boards, a small assortment of coin-operated games, and a golf simulator that's available by the hour.

I can’t give enough stars! We had the absolute best time here. We went on a Saturday at noon, right at opening, for our axe throwing reservation. It was only us and the owner there but he greeted us with awesome energy and we felt immensely welcomed. He had an awesome attitude and explained axe throwing to our kids perfectly. The food was top notch! The onion rings were so good, we had to order another round! And their pizza’s!! Their new menus just rolled out today so we got one of their new pizza’s which was fantastic with an amazing cheese pull! Be sure to check this place out with or without kids!

We only had one drink each which was to be expected. Service was good. My partner said his blue moon was very good. We played shuffleboard and the bags and had fun. It was great seeing how much they offered for entertainment. However, axe throwing and the golf simulator were out of our budget (not their fault.) The part we didn’t like was that despite there not being a lot of people in the building, it was loud-extremely loud, so at times we had trouble hearing each other. I can’t imagine having larger groups what that experience would be like.
