Not to be confused with "Al's Red Frog!" Since the flood, Al's Red Frog is now just, "The Red Frog"and is therefore going to come later on the list. So, Al's Blue Toad. (Neighbor to "The Red Frog," which is now owned by Al's sister, by the way.) Great little joint in Czech Village! I LOVE Czech Village for some reason. Every time I go to the bars down there I just feel so at home. This one has more a eatery feel, yet still homey. If you use the restroom (ladies) you'll find a more bar-esque environment around the corner with darts, a jukebox and other "bar-like" entertainment. Overall feel of the Blue Toad? Eh. Take it or leave it. Nice atmosphere, and the service was just fine...wasn't blown away by the food by any means. (P.S. Food is not part of the tour, but if we partake, we will mention it.) i would take my family there for dinner. Maybe go to watch a game. It didn't feel like a night time bar, but maybe we were there a tad-bit early. However, the beer was good (like that's hard) and it seemed like other people were enjoying themselves. I definitely don't have an overwhelming desire to return soon. Maybe on a different night, under different circumstances I may think differently. We have too many other places to see anyways! Did you know there is approximately 98 or more bars in Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha and Marion?! See if you can stump us with a bar we don't have on our list! Side note, the walls were blue.
