As a tourist, this place gave me a fantastic example of good ol fashioned American spirit and atmosphere. I will be returning to Jakes Pub for many weekends to come. Great staff and the friendliest customers I've ever met.

Great Ankeny bar with fantastic music all night long. Have been here a couple of times with friends, and it is always easy to get drinks at the bar. This is our new favorite spot since we relocated from the south up north.

My favorite Ankeny bar! Very laid back, yet upbeat--games, jukebox, flatscreen TVs for every big game, sometimes fun events/live music--definitely a hidden gem! Phelps is a lot of fun, and will give you great service!

Great little neighborhood bar! Friendly staff, clean, lots of choices for drinks. Dart machines, golf game, lots of seating. It has a locals feel, but we felt welcomed right away. Will stop again!

Sure, it's a strip mall bar that's pretty much a dive, but I love it. Staff is surprisingly attentive and polite for how busy it can get and I've never had much of an issue with the clientele. Love coming hear to watch Hawkeye, Cyclone or Cubs games. Insanely low prices also. One of my favorite bars in the city.
