Edit This Place
Bar/Cafe/Club - International
Lives up to its name - a very political/bohemian sort of crowd. One of the few places in Ames where people of all backgrounds, ethnicities and sexual orientations can feel safe and welcomed. Good wine selection (and great coffee and chai!), in addition to the usual beers and mixed drinks. Open mic most Sundays and Tuesdays; house/electronic vinyl on Thursdays ($3); World Beat on Fridays and Saturdays ($3-$5.) A wide mix of chilled-out music from CD fills the rest of the time. Very wide-open vibe... you can go there to dance, do homework, or just veg out.

The music is pretty good here especially on Thursdays. I wish there was more of a variety with regards to the DJing/music. The decor is nice except that it‘s a little creepy--all there is on the walls are paintings of women in bath towels or in the nude.
I used to love this place a few years ago. I still ask myself what happened to the salsa dance lessons they used to offer!

The candle-lit booths are great for chatting, dating, homework-doing, art-creating, cigarette-smoking, or just drink-consuming.

Blah, blah, blah.
If you have read some of the previous reviews, you will notice that they have been written by people caught up in the middle of daily usual life. People that have peripherial vision and aren‘t aware of the whole picture around them.
Don‘t pay much attention.
Go there. Be relaxed and accept everybody and everything. You will not regreted.
If you are looking for your usual pretty girl/wanna be "the man" kind of place, then do not go.
If you are looking for a place to vent, let yourself fall away from life for a while, and be yourself without being afraid, then go.
I drive miles to escape from the ordinary and vent through good dancing, awsome environment, and wise drinking.
GET UP< GET OUT>DO SOMETHING....
without regrets.
