Hang Out In An Igloo At This One-Of-A-Kind Iowa Restaurant

Tin Roost in North Liberty offers a unique igloo dining experience, combining outdoor charm with winter comfort.

We've all gotten used to outdoor dining, and there's something charming about enjoying your food close to the elements. But as the cold weather settles in, all but the hardiest souls head inside to enjoy their burgers and brews. At one North Liberty restaurant, it's possible to enjoy the best of both worlds. Tin Roost, a North Liberty gastropub, has quickly gained a name for itself as the best place for igloo dining in Iowa. These elegant, see-through outdoor dining igloos are perfect for a small group dinner and are available to book for the night seasonally while you enjoy Tin Roost's midwest-accented elevated American food. There's a reason these unique dining spots often have a waiting list, so make sure you don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind Iowa dining adventure.

Tin Roost is one of Iowa's best gastropubs, located in a sleek building in North Liberty - with a unique winter secret.

Inside the modern dining room, you'll be able to enjoy a wide selection of beers and shareable starters like traditional midwestern cheese curds.

The restaurant's menu is dominated by hearty, classic sandwiches - including a wide selection of burgers and tacos.

But the kitchen team is no slouch on composed entrees, either - as one look at this sesame-crusted salmon bowl makes clear.

At this time of the year, Tin Roost debuts their popular outdoor igloos - a unique option for dining in the great outdoors during the colder seasons.

These aren't the small igloos you might have seen at other places - they seat up to eight, making them perfect for a group dinner

You won't get cold while in one of these igloos, thanks to the heating system and nearby firepit. It's the closest thing to huddling around the fireplace with your loved ones.

As the sun goes down and the food and cocktails keep coming, it turns into one of the most memorable dining experiences in all of Iowa.

But you'll have more than just memories to take away with you - booking one of the Tin Roost's igloos comes with a complimentary collectible mug!
