No booking, no reason needed.
Every other way into Grid Lounge asks you to pick a time and a length first. This one does not. Come in, sit down, and decide later whether you want to drive at all.
You do not need a reason to come in.
The Paddock is the bar at Grid Lounge. It is in the same room as the rigs, it keeps the same hours, and there is nothing to book before you walk through the door.
Opening soon. The Paddock is not pouring yet. Until it does, the bar is still beer, seltzers and non-alcoholic drinks — come in anyway.
Before you come
There is not much to know, which is the idea.
- What it is
- A full bar with a race-themed cocktail list.
- Booking
- None. Walk in and find somewhere to sit.
- Hours
- The same as the lounge, Tuesday through Sunday.
- Food
- Bring your own, or have it delivered. We do not cook.
A bar with a grid in it.
What a visit looks likeCedar Falls is not short of places to get a drink. This is the one where the thing on the screens is happening in front of you, and you can get in it.
The racing is in the room.
Not on a screen from somewhere else. Six rigs, a live leaderboard, and whoever is quick tonight, ten feet from where you are sitting. It is the one thing a bar downtown cannot put on.
A proper bar, not a cooler.
Mixed drinks and a cocktail list built around racing, alongside the beer and the non-alcoholic options that were always here.
The list
Cocktails, named like you would expect.
The cocktail list is built around racing, because of course it is. Beer, seltzers and non-alcoholic options stay exactly where they were.
The full list goes up here when the bar opens. If you want to know sooner, we are not very good at keeping secrets.
Sit down. See what happens.
Watch whoever is quick tonight. Argue about a corner you have never driven. Order food in, because we do not cook and never pretended to. And if the rig in front of you comes free and you find yourself wondering, that is usually how it starts.
Come and sit in it.
No booking, no session length, nothing to decide before you arrive. The door is open whenever the lounge is.
