The London Underground

great place to meet friends and have a drink. very rowdy drunk there on Sat night and the bartender was very responsible and would not serve him a drink and asked him to leave. Very friendly place great beer selection will go back.

I absolutely love London Underground. The atmosphere is great, it‘s not crowded like campustown, and the bartenders are friendly and plenty knowledgable. It‘s definitely my choice for an Ames bar.

This is my favorite bar in Ames. They have foosball tables, electronic darts, and cozy little nooks to drink hard liquor in. Did I mention free baskets of popcorn? Oh, and a juke box. You really can‘t go wrong at this joint, the wait staff may be unfamiliar with your ordered mixed drink, but they still taste delicious - just a bit longer to make. In the Top Five Places I‘ll Miss when I graduate.

Blue Moon on tap i dont think anything else needs to be said!

Very friendly neighborhood tavern feel. Terrific selection of beers. Very attentive, cordial bartenders. A little smokey, but otherwise this place is a nice change from most of drink until you puke Ames bars. Kind of like Brewers with smoke and without the attitude & aloofness. Expect to be engaged in a conversation when at LU.

There are no televisions in this bar so it is a requirement to socialize. Good conversations and good people abound! The wait staff is very friendly even if they don‘t know all the mixed drinks. But, they are always willing to try something new or offer a drink they know is good. I definitely recommend this for an Ames person looking for a 20-30 somethings crowd that isn‘t congested by college students.

The London Underground is a GREAT place to go with friends. The beer choose is wonderful. If you are looking for a new place to go to have fun this is it! The owner always there and friendly (and cute).

Small little hole in the wall with bartenders that barely knows how to poor a beer let alone a Guinness. Is it that hard? Guinness was old and the service was unknowledgable even with his bartending book. I guess this is pretty typical in small town Iowa

Nice Bar. A little Smokey but they can‘t really help that. Hopefully the law will pass to ban smoking everywhere so that people can socialize and drink without getting cancer and smelling like a pile of waste.

Great selection of beers, great staff, great music, great crowd. If you‘ve graduated from Bud Light and are finally ready to try a GOOD beer, stop by Lundy Undy. You won‘t be disappointed!

I really like this place. It has a neighborhood feel--a little more engaged crowd where all sorts of conversations can happen.
Great selection of beers, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. A little smokey but thankfully Chester the Jester is going to look out for us and change that law.
I hope they follow through with the 30 tap system that is rumored.

The music selection on the TouchTunes still sucks. If they want to be an English bar, they should get some British music. I would also suggest leaving the shitty pop music for the college bars to play.

I agree that this is a beer bar and that Bud Light is next to piss, although they do carry it in bottles for those of you who want it. I also once loved this bar but they don‘t rotate or add to the selection like they once did. They have also been out of dart tips the last 5 times I have been in. I am also no fan of how lazy the staff has become. The tables are rarely bused and they don‘t know the beer they offer. I hope things start to improve.

Atmosphere is great, very laid back and casual with good music. In defense of the bartenders, it is a beer bar, so if all you want is cinnamon toast crunch shots, grasshoppers, and other off the wall shots, go to Es Tas.

They have a great selection, but none of the bartenders know what to do with it. I was there a lot this summer and it was great. I‘ve been in a few times this fall and it has really fallen off. I‘m looking for a new place to call home in Ames.

I don‘t know what happened this fall but this place has really went downhill. I used to love it but the staff isn‘t what it used to be.

If you want Bud light crap(which tastes worse than sewer water), you shouldn‘t even come.
Very nice atmosphere and great selection of drink.
Definitely place to get quality drink in Ames.

It would be a really great bar if the bartender didn‘t have to look up every shot or drink that I wanted. The bar also doesn‘t have Bud Light in Iowa? Guess they want to survive.

Wonderful import beers. I can‘t imagine being happy in ames without having this bar to relax in on the weekends.

One of the few bars worth visiting in Ames. The beer selection is excellent, and the bartenders actually can make a drink if you happen to find your way past the amazingly priced draws. It means a cab ride for me ( with these amazing taps I can‘t walk in without indulging), but it is well worth every trip I take.

On holiday from England and impressed.It really do look like a bar from my hometown (Reading,Berkshire)and Henry the barman was well up on English beers.We got rid of the red Telephone boxes years ago though!

This is my favorite bar in Ames! I go to ISU, but hate the crowded bars of Welch. This is the place to go with some friends to enjoy a drink, listen to great music, and sit back for a great time. I would recommend this bar to anyone who likes a relaxed bar.

One of the only Bars in Ames where you can actually relax. No crazy drunken college students, not smelly or dirty, only smoke-y on a very busy night, and just about everyone has their teeth! Great music and great bartenders. Definitely a beer drinker‘s place with some surprising cocktail entries as well. The only bar a group of people in their mid twenties and above feels comfortable at!

New air conditioning makes my favorite bar even better. They have great beers, great drinks, a great staff in a great place. No complaints. A must when you are in Ames. Rumor is they are adding several new beers this fall including Fat Tire and Spaten Oktoberfest

Bartenders have been very nice when we‘ve visited. And their $4 Martini Wednesdays are a must! Free popcorn too - yum!

Great place to hang out with friends in a very relaxed atmophere. The staff is great too, always attentive and the martini‘s are awesome!

A great place. Quiet and laid back most of the week, busy and exciting Thursday through Saturday nights. They also have a great happy hour ‘til 8 everyday.

Awesome place to kick back with friends and drink some great imports on tap. Almost never smoky and usually not very crowded either. The music isn‘t so loud you have to shout to be heard either, which is great. Plus the owner is a great guy.

A great place to relax with friends after a long week of work!
