Uncle Harry's Five and Dime Tavern

We liked this little bar with all the history. We could tell it was a local hang out, the bartender knew everyone by name. Great drinks and awesome bar chairs, super comfy!

This was the first time I visited this bar and I was pleasantly surprised. Even though it is a relatively newer business, I expected more of an old-time environment and selection of beers. They have a great selection of micro-brewery beers, as well as some popular commercial beers on tap. The bar stools are cushioned and have back rests. There are cozy booths along the wall opposite the bar. The place was very clean. Apparently it is also a popular place for the local darts aficionados.

Great high end beer selection (yes they have the macro classics as well!) plus great bartenders that know their stuff and a good atmosphere, all settled in downtown Cedar Falls. One of my favorite places to grab an after-work beer.

Our bartender was the most knowledgeable I've met in my recent journeys. The place is passionate about beer! The decor reminds me of classic bars that I'd imagine in movies. So thankful that I got to visit and see people dancing with their jukebox selections as I got to enjoy a TRUE Belgian Quad.

Get off yo booty and do ya duty! Great spot ñaco!

A really great bar. A wide selection of flavors that for the most part I have never heard of, which is part of the fun. Just go in and tell the bartender the type of beer that you enjoy and they will find you something that is appropriate to that taste. It can get crowded on weekends with the college crowd but otherwise a fun place to try new beers.

Great bar! Fabulous line up of drafts. Highly recommend!

Truly a gem in every sense of the word. Is it in the rough? Sure. That is the sheer beauty of the polishing the authenticity of this place. Staff that is beyond fabulous, a selection of cocktails, unique beer, and shots that only rivals Traer; all while attracting the type of people that allows you to live life to the fullest without pretension or regret. Bottom line, a good time.
*Also, play Sandstorm on the jukebox for street cred. meow.

Uncle Harry's Five and Dime was a recommendation from Matt the cab driver from Dollie's Taxi who shuttled me into downtown Cedar Falls and back last Saturday. What great input he provided. Thanks, Matt!!

Uncle Harry's is a classic old neighborhood tavern with a few distinguishing characteristics. The room is almost spacious making getting around very manageable. Eclectic is a good term for the decor, mixing several decades of "artwork". The walls are well-populated with signage from pre-craft, Midwest regional brewers, which particularly drew my attention. It was well attended by students from the local University on this early Saturday evening.

The beer selection is very pleasing, with 15-20 taps pouring a good variety of mostly craft brews. There is a sizable draught beer cooler at the far end of the bar. Normally, that would be my focus, but this visit was brief and I was looking for a spirit. Harry's has two areas on their back bar, one each for their brown and clear spirits which are well balanced. I asked the gentleman serving me for a suggestion for a whisky to drink neat and he came through with a bourbon from an Iowa craft distiller that was most enjoyable.

My all-to-brief first visit to Uncle Harry's Five and Dime was a real treat, and I look forward to a return during my next visit to Cedar Falls!!

Best bar (no food) in town in my humble opinion. They have something for everyone, the drinks are mixed well and heavy. You get the full spectrum of people from college age, young professional to aging so there's something for everyone. Say hey to Phil (the bald one)!!

Harry's is my favorite spot to relax at when main street has too much going on. It can get pretty full in there but nothing too wild ever happens. The bartenders are the best, & have enough experience to help you find out what drinks will be the best for your taste buds

Uncle Harry's is a genuinely great beer bar. Whether you're looking for a classic pilsner or a quadruple Belgian, Uncle Harry's has you covered. Their straightforward focus on serving their customers gives this place a "no frills" feeling.

Best bar in the Cedar Valley. Attentive, knowledgeable bartenders. Amazing selection of beers -- quality over quantity. And, ladies, newly renovated restrooms.

Neat place to get a drink. Beer signs have to be worth a fortune...

Nice place to relax and enjoy a cocktail. This was my first visit. Very good beer selection with a great atmosphere

Great knowledgeable staff and great craft beer selection always rotating. I'm a Belgain style beer nut and there's always something on tap I like.

This place is literally the best. There has never been a better bartender than Jay. And Ben. And jason. Phil kills it at beer selection. Class act

Great service and atmosphere. Ben is a wonderful bartender and rally knows his beers.

Great craft beers on tap. Friendly bartenders, and a more relaxing atmosphere than all the party bars.

Always a great beer list. I prefer to go when it isnt so busy
