    They have several trees that can be traced back to presidents, leaders, special locations. Worth the time to walk around and view the sign located by all the special trees. Also nice park to just enjoy.on the lake.

    I had made reservations ahead of time thinking this was the best place in this town. When we arrived, it took a little bit of time to get registered as there was only one person at the desk. Got our room keys and checked in. Room was nice, but not overly big. Went to restaurant for a quick dinner. Nice views of the lake. Not very busy. Later in the room we could hear the people next door, and could hear them until almost midnight. Walls seemed very thin! For the price paid, it seemed a little out of place. We stayed on the street side as we didn't think the lakeside room was worth paying much more! I suppose if you have kids and want to use the waterpark, this would be a good option. But I wasn't that impressed.

    You can just sit & take in the view, have a picnic or let the kiddos burn off energy. There is a little Tyson snack shop but it was closed when on my visit.

    Very much a dive but I'm a good way. Lots of bar space and tables as well. Strong pours and good prices. Friendly bartender as well.

    We stopped here for a night cap on St. Pat's. I ordered a Guinness beer, since it is Irish and my spouse ordered an Amaretto Sour with limited rocks (ice).

    I have to admit that this is my second favorite bar in Storm Lake, second only to Kings Pointe with outdoor seating over looking the lake. It is my favorite Winter Snow Storm bar, since you can look out the window, three stories up, and watch the street crew snow blow the center section of snow into a City dump truck.

    During our time, we observed about six 20-30's playing Cards Against Humanity at a table and having a great time. They have an excellent antique wooden bar and serve a wide variety of beer and Guinness on tap. They also have pool and a party room located across the hall. They have a few big screens to watch sports, as well.

    It is a small bar, friendly, great variety of beer, clean, and has a great view of downtown. If you want a better view, sometimes you can stand on the back balcony overlooking the back alley of Storm Lake.

    I was here to meet some friends. The bartender and owner is friendly. The bar itself has several tables at which to sit and converse with friends as well as seats along the bar, a small area in which to dance, game machines at which to gamble/play, and free popcorn to which you can help yourself. It's not fancy, by any means, but people there seem friendly. This establishment is located right uptown, across from the movie theater.
