Winchester Public House

The bartenders are friendly and the drinks are delightful, crafted with great attention to detail. Thank you, David!

One member of our group, who doesn't drink, was asked to leave because they were under 21. This policy seems inconsistent with the signage on the doors, which states that no minors are allowed, yet in Iowa, minors are defined as anyone under 18. The staff's response was unprofessional; they simply said, "Get out." While the drinks were great, they certainly didn't compensate for the poor overall service we experienced.

The selection of spirits is impressive! The ambiance is fantastic for enjoying a delightful craft cocktail. You can customize your dirty martini on a scale of 1 to 5, and I found the number 3 to be just right! They also offer quality blue cheese and olives. Plus, the women’s restroom is clean and well-maintained.

Best old fashioned I've had in town. The bartenders take their craft seriously and the attention to detail really pays off in the drinks. This is my new favorite bar. Too bad it's 30 minutes from my house!

Went with a group out for my birthday. One of my friends is just under 21, walking in we noticed that it said “no minors” on the door. Assuming that it meant under the age of 18 as is standard for that phrase, we thought he would be ok as he had no intention of trying to order alcohol. After some members of our party had ordered drinks and received them, we were carded and he clearly stated he had no intention of ordering alcohol and was just there with the group. He was very rudely ordered to leave, quoting the server “get out”. Disappointed in the service throughout the night as well. We asked for the check and he did not return with it in a timely manner, after deciding to pay with cash we left. Then quickly following us exiting we were accused of not paying by our server who did not check the table. Will not be returning.
