Green Gable Inn

Green Gable is a very unique bar in Cedar Rapids, as it offers a bar atmosphere for those on third-shift. We decided to check it out on a Monday afternoon thinking that we'd be able to get prime seating at the bar and maybe have a friendly conversation with the bartender. However, the entire bar was packed and everyone seemed to be friends. Talk about awkward - I think every head turned to look at us when we walked in. I don't expect hospitality from a bar patron but I felt as if we were non-existent for the entire time we were there. No one moved over to let us order a drink and when we did get a drink we went upstairs and never heard from anyone again! Not even a bartender. I've been to Green Gable before and had a decent time but watching Steve Wilkos on TV with Eric because we were trying to finish our beers wasn't what I had intended for the bar tour. Based on my experience, like many other bars on this bar tour, Green Gable caters mainly to their regular customers. I believe they have pool league every once in while but there was no flyers or anything about what the bar had for "specials" during the week. Unless I somehow end up working third shift and can't go home without a lil beer in my belly, I likely will not return to this bar. I have no reason to because I'm not a part of that crowd and I didn't see any indication that anyone else ever came there.
