What players say
Nice, small bar atmosphere that can also become loud and proud during Iowa State games. Has pool table, fooseball table, gambling 'arcade' machines. The manager arranges food on game days, which is great! This is also considered a safe space reporting area if you feel that you are with someone and need help.
When you enter, you feel a gentle thrum fill your body. The room seems less like a bar and more of a warm haven for thirsty travelers. Every time you visit, you witness a part of the bar you previously didn't know about.
I’m convinced Thumbs is one of the 7 wonders of the world. The atmosphere is tops, the people are incredible, and the drinks are delicious. There’s no shot they can’t make. The prices are more than fair. Not to mention the bartenders enhance your experience that much more.
