Great service and attention to detail in every drink. No short cuts - everything from scratch. My lemon martini - not lemon drop was so refreshing.

This place has it all - great mid mod décor, awesome drink menu and knowledgeable bartenders. Loved the Whiskey Smash which packed a punch but was perfect for sipping. What a cool find tucked away in a small town - worth the drive from Des Moines or any where else in the vicinity.

The vibe there is fantastic, its like nothing you'd expect in midwestern America Knoxville Iowa and more like somewhere you'd drink in Manhattan NY. The bar keeps are fun, outgoing, friendly, gorgeous and attentive. You can't not have a good time. It can be the place for a quiet sip by yourself or with a loved one or it can spill out into a raucous time with a bunch of new friends. There is a huge variety of cocktails available, themed nights like Taco Tuesdays and live music with some fantastic local talent. It's a supercool place with supercool down to earth, fun-loving people. Owned by two tremendous people who are Knoxville proud and located perfectly right next to Candi's Flowers so you can buy the little lady something special when you're on the way home late "The A&P" is my favourite bar on earth. I just wish I didn't have to travel 15,000kms to get there!

The bar is nice. It has an upscale feel with good decor. It had one of the cool library bookshelf ladders for accessing the floor to high ceiling bar. By far, they have the best pizza in Knoxville and the primary reason for our continued patronage. The pizza is a perfectly cooked thin and crispy crust and with the addition of Graziano Brothers Sausage you can't go wrong. Absolutely delicious.
