Chasers

I don‘t what previous poster is talking about the staff here is great the music is great and drinks are great I just moved to Ames not long ago and one if first bar I went was chasers and they always have treated me as if I belong here and always make me feel welcome the best way I would describe chasers is that its an everymans bar u can look dress however u want and they treat everybody the same as long as there douches and about regulars every bar has them and they always get treated better due to the fact that go to that bar whtever the bar maybe several times a week keep it up guys

Not sure what people find so special about this place. The bar is dirty, the staff has no hot girls, and the music is usually to loud to talk over. then there are the drinks that are ok at best unless you are a regular then they seem to be almost free, so if you want to rate the place on that hope you are a regular. all in all this place doesn‘t even rank in the top 10 for campus town much less ames. this place had so much potential when it opened it is a shame they let it go to hell

Chasers has to be my favorite bar in Ames. The staff rocks my world, and the crowd isn‘t a group of college ass hats with their collars popped. I personally love the small "hole in the wall" feel of this bar, makes the experience more intimate and its quite easy to talk to the people here. The drink specials are awesome, and even without specials the prices for drinks are quite perfect. The music is a huge part of why I go here, the staff always has a great selection. All and all I love this bar!!!

Feels like I‘m drinking in a house party basement somewhere rather than in a bar. Entirely too bright. Decent specials though.

I used to like this place until I realized that it does not even feel like a bar. Way too bright and the crowd is usually there for the 25 cent drinks.

It might be a little crowded, but I think I have more fun in this bar than anywhere else. Between Drunken Scattergories, Beer Pong, and Buck Hunter there hasn‘t been to many nights that I haven‘t been entertained. In fact I‘m thinking about going there right now and have me a slice of pizza and a pint.

Aweful. Too small, the bartenders don‘t have a clue, and the place smells like urine and stale smoke. Stay away!

Great place to have a few drinks and listen to great music

tiny, always packed with people. awful service

Basically this bar amounts to being a concrete cave where the guys are encouraged to piss in a floor drain in the men‘s room. Classy...

The best bar in campustown, without a doubt. Best/comparable drink specials (except maybe Fridays), relaxed atmosphere, friendly people. Bartenders seem good natured and knowledgeable - though the bar is lacking top-shelf liquors. Can be hard to get around to shoot on the pool tables, but they are in much better shape than most anywhere else, except Welch Ave Station. Gets smoky, dirty and loud, just like any good bar should :)

Bar tenders need to learn how to make more then a Draw of beer. Other then that I can usally get a few phone numbers and even walk a gal home. SO this must be a decent place to pick up a local whore. Need to add some anti smoke devices, and a few more pool tables be nice.

I do not understand why this place is getting such good reveiws. It is far too small, it takes a long time to get drinks and as far as I know, the bartenders are lacking some basic bartending knowledge as well as speed. The beer pong table, while an ingenious addition, would be far better suited in a larger bar. The pool tables are always crushed with people, making it impossible to play. If you want to go to a bar and sit in a private booth, not socialize with anyone, overpay for drinks, be crowded, and wait to long for any form of liquid refreshment, go for it!

Hard to believe this is place is related to Element. So much better atmosphere and better bartenders. They should have their staff train their partner‘s above them.

I love love love this bar. It‘s so much fun and the people are great. I always get great service at the bar. It feels like you‘re hanging out with a bunch of friends in someone‘s basement or garage or something. Completely casual and low key.

I miss Chasers Thursday nights!!!!!!! Anybody who doesn‘t like Chasers is crazy! The more I went there, the more comfortable I felt! I always had fun too....did I mention beer pong!??

Great place on a slow night. When its busy it kind of sucks.

I thought that this place was great. I went during the week and the staff was awesome and we all had such a great time. It was a good place to drink and not have to scream over the music.

This was my favorite bar but they destroyed it.

They recently remodeled this place but the old staff is not there. We will miss the old staff. They were fun!

This place used to be "the place to go." It was the perfect dive bar, had everything you needed with a staff that was pretty quick on their feet and good music. The good staff is no longer there, not even one of them, and I drove by the other day and there is a Pier 1 palm tree in the doorway with 4 people around the bar, oh well, it was fun while it lasted i suppose

This was the second bar that i went to on my Birthday and have been there about every time I‘ve gone out drinking with my usual group. It is great if you just want to hang out, drink, flirt with college girls, and get served by a great staff. A sure stop for anyone looking for a very friendly bar, despite it‘s somewhat limited selection in beers. If they would expand their selection add in some food this place would be a definate 5 star rating, as far as college bars go.

ok , in town from Dallas, TX. Want to see how you guys do it in Iowa. I am coming to Chasers tonight, asI hear its the place to be. I‘ll finish this in the AM and let you guys know whats up.

An anti-bar atmosphere. So bright inside that I could tan.

Chaser is the best bar in town. The people that work there are great, always in the mood to goof around. Nice collection of regulars and great atmosphere. If Chasers was a woman, I‘d marry the it and make love to it hourly.

one of the best bars ever. nice people and awesome environment.

to small for the crowd it brings in.

This place is great. The bartenders are by far the most fun in Ames. The drinks are cheap and the people are usually pretty laid back.The music is great beacuse they dont play all rap like every other preppy-froot bar in town. Easily one of the best bars around.

yuppy to the max.

I LOVE this place. The bartender are so much fun. I also love the drink specials. Thursday nights all you can drink for just 6 bucks...cant beat that anywhere!

I can‘t wait untill these guys open up their place again. When Chasers first opened in the bottom of Big Shots, it gave people in Campus something else to do, rather than the normal sit, drink, get bored and leave. The bartenders on F.A.C. were the best. (I think they were Fester and Luke) All their bartender seamed to always have fun though. I bet the new place is going to be awsome!
