There's no shortage of Irish pubs around the United States and in Iowa, but too often, they're just a standard pub in a green wig. That's not the case at Jameson's Public House, a Waterloo institution that prides itself on authenticity - in its food, its drink, its decor, and its entertainment. Step inside, and you'll feel like you've just been transported to the Emerald Isle.
Step inside Jameson's Public House & Restaurant, and you'll swear you've been transported clear across the Atlantic.
The bustling Waterloo pub is popular with both Irish ex-pats and local fans looking for an authentic taste of another culture.
The restaurant prides itself on quality, and that's clear when you take a look at the bar's liquor wall - packed with top-of-the-line Irish Whiskeys. Don't worry, there's also Guinness on tap!
The food is no different - the restaurant brines their corned beef on site, and you can have it in a traditional plate or in an overstuffed sandwich.
The fish and chips are crispy and flavorful - just like you got them from the window of a Dublin chip shop.
Bangers and Mash are hard to find in Iowa, but this trio of fat sausages covered in a rich onion gravy is worth the hunt.
Of course, there is a little taste of Iowa on the menu - in the form of a hearty pork tenderloin sandwich.
Live music is common at night, and the playlist is a combination of local bands and visiting Irish acts bringing over the country's unique rock tradition.
It's St. Patrick's Day every day at Jameson's - which means that one day a year, it's got to be the best party around.
