Alpha Tap

Destination seafood bar/restaurant off the beaten path. Also have some more typical bar food. Fun small town atmosphere. Worth a trip.

Great place. Great food. I am a small town guy who loves a small town establishment. When you can get lobster in Iowa, it has to be special.

The lobster, prime rib and scallops were perfect. So yummy. Friendly service, comforting atmosphere. The deck is literally 6 feet away.

This place is a hidden gem in northeast Iowa. Seen a Facebook post that said this place had amazing food for a dive bar. This place is not a dive bar, it is super clean and in good repair. The staff today, one person who we assumed was the owner was amazing. Super friendly and personable. He was the bartender, waiter, chef and yes, he was an amazing cook. The seafood was excellent. Spouse had the 11 ounce cold water Lobster tail. Son-in-law has Admiral's Platter with Scallops and Shrimp. Daughter had the Jimmy Burger and it was freaking huge! I had the 8 ounce Filet Mignon. All food was cooked perfectly. Food is not season's, salted or spicy. Hashbrowns and onion rings were some of the best we have had in a very long time. If you are looking for good food off the beaten path, then this is the place to go. We are already planning our next trip to Alpha for a meal at the Alpha Tap.

Went here with my grandfathers. Pretty good food, I must say. Had a burger, tasted wonderful. Fries were also done wonderfully.

Always excellent food and service. The scallops are cooked to perfection!

It is great to see a small town business still doing well. It had been 15 years since I've been to Alpha Tap. We had good seafood, Prime Rib, Sirloin steak, and kids meals.

Stopped by for dinner and wasn't disappointed! There were 4 of us plus 2 toddlers and there was plenty of room at a table for us. The service was quick and he was super friendly. Plus the food was amazing! Definitely will be back.
