Raccoon River is a laid-back brewpub where you can have a few microbrews and play a game of pool with your friends, listen to live music by local musicians, or take friends to dinner. A patio is open in the summer. The kitchen serves appetizers, pizza, pasta, salad, and heartier entrees such as pot roast and steak. The bar serves a lot more than beer, including extra spicy bloody Marys.
