Reader suggestion time. Week Five of the Monday Night Football Bar Tour brings us to Mulligan’s, 1060 Old Marion Rd., in Cedar Rapids for a matchup between the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins.
If you couldn’t tell from the name, golf is the primary theme of this bar. Golf wall decorations, fairway green paint on the wall and their menu is even littered with golf terminology. The bar is pretty spacious, with plenty of high top bar tables throughout and lots of neon signs and posters. Mulligan’s even has a small stage area in the back for live music. They also have an outdoor patio where you can enjoy the last few fall nights during halftime.
I’m happy to announce that Mulligan’s sets the Monday Night Football Bar Tour record for number of TVs. There are 30 — in all the right spots, so everyone has a good line of sight to watch all the action. I was also very happy to see the game being shown in high definition.
Mulligan’s has a wide assortment of draft beer, as well as a full variety of tallboys and bottles. The bar is large, with TVs mounted on the inside of the cabinets, so you can have a large TV all to yourself if you choose not to sit at a table.
The food a Mulligan’s is great. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches and even some entrée items. I particularly liked the spinach and artichoke dip. The pizza didn’t blow me away, but it met my expectations for ‘bar pizza.’
And finally a bar with a Monday Night Football special. Mulligan’s offers a pitcher of domestic beer and a burger basket for $10. That’s a fantastic deal and one that is hard to pass up.
Mulligan’s is a great spot to catch the game and it will be rolled into my regular rotation. Good food, lots of TVs, good service and plenty of space for you and your group to catch the game. This one is a winner.
