Bar

Welch Ave isn't a place to stand against the wall because the place is too full like other bars, its a place to sit down with some friends and watch South Park on the big screens until you can't see the TV over the pile of empty pitchers you drank. The atmosphere here is much more layed back than other bars in Campustown.

Great deals on certain days, free pool Monday and Tuesday (and most days before 8pm), great relaxed but fun crowd, lots of professional bartenders and waitresses so I‘m never waiting for a drink for long. Plus, you can order food from Pizza Pit to be delivered to your table! Good place to watch any kind of game, too.

Welch Ave Station isn‘t the usual College town bar. You can go in either by yourself or with a group of friends and still have a good time. You can sit down, not have to yell over the usual "Good Music" that‘s blasting in other bars and you can be waited on. You get your money‘s worth when you order shots, aka not in the shitty little plastic cups. Everything is served in actual glasses.
Not to mention it‘s the only place to be on game days. Food delivered directly to the table, waitress there so you never have to get up and miss something happening in the game, and there are T.V‘s EVERYWHERE!
If you like shitty music, drinks, walking on peanut shells and drunk bartenders that can‘t mix a whiskey coke correctly then Welch isn‘t the place for you. Welch Ave is by far the best bar in Ames, IA. I wouldn‘t go anywhere else.

One of my top two favorite bars in Ames. Here it‘s actually possible to sit with a group of friends and have a conversation.

Great staff and great drink specials for a college bar!

More restaurant than bar. The waitstaff is picky and annoying and the place seems too snobby to be located on a college bar street.
