Fieldhouse (Blairsferry Road)

This is a place that is more restaurant than bar for sure.  It is in the old Tilted Kilt spot on Blairsferry Road just next to Buffalo Wild Wings.  Not a whole lot has changed since Tilted Kilt closed...the place looks identical except for a few coats of paint and some sports memorabilia added.  It has a very sports bar type atmophere, but this definately is not a place people would go just to drink.  Despite their insanely large collection of beers on tap (I think I counted 30-40?) their prices on beer are a little steep.  The food is decent, but its priced around what you would expect from a restaurant, not a bar.  It is nice that the Fieldhouse is bringing its "brand" to Cedar Rapids since closing the Iowa City location, but I fear unless they change their image, they may suffer the same fate Tilted Kilt did.  Right now there is no huge draw to bring me here over Buffalo Wild Wings next door, and the parking is way better next door.  Overall, the service was good (it better have been, there were only three other people in the whole place) and we enjoyed what we had, but we were itching to move on to Fieldhouse Downtown and we didn't stay too long.  Both of us had been here when it was Tilted Kilt and agreed not much had changed...be that a good thing or a bad thing.  It is at least worth it for you to check it out yourself and see what you think.
