The Cellar Peanut Pub - Newton

I love this place! 32 draft lines, great beer and amazing Bloody Marys, a laid back atmosphere, and so much room it never feels crowded. I've been a regular customer here since it opened in October 2018 and I joined their staff in January 2020.
I work full time elsewhere so I don't need a part time job, but I enjoy working with the wonderful employees who I'd become friends with and the fellow patrons that make this place great.

Passing through after a recent stop at the historic Youngville cafe, we stopped here to sample a few of Iowa’s current up & comers. Gezellig Brewing (down the block) wasn’t open yet that day, so we went with a flight of their beers at Cellar Peanut, which were all solid. Their lager and hazy IPA were standouts. We chatted with both bartenders who were super friendly and very beer knowledgeable.

Free peanuts and self serve ice water, lots of open space with a few patio tables outside. Arcade games along the wall, and a tabletop Galaga that brought back the 80’s nostalgia.

This is a great spot with 30+ rotating taps, many of them Iowa and Midwest focused. A hidden gem that makes an easy pit stop along I-80.
