The Highlander Hotel and Supper Club are back! Join us to experience our modern take on the Highlander's 1967 Supper Club. Features two dining rooms with two completely different experiences: One, an adult-oriented classic supper club with a more upscale feel and swanky lobby bar; Two, a lively family-oriented casual dining room centered around the historic sunken bar and an arcade with retro and modern games. Choose your experience at booking! The Highlander Supper Club was built in 1967. The hotel, ballroom, and pool followed in 1974. For the next 30 years, both experienced extraordinary success playing host to celebrities like Micky Mantle, Joan Baez, and Arnold Palmer, arguably becoming one of the most popular entertainment, event, dining, and hotel destinations in Iowa history! The Highlander Hotel has been reimagined, reinvented and renovated as a chic boutique urban resort, the only independent hotel in Iowa City.

Here at Tavern Blue our philosophy is work hard, play harder! As a group of local residents raising our families in Iowa we have grown to love it here, but still find ourselves missing the laid back beach vibes of the Pacific, Mediterranen, and European coasts we also call home. We wanted to bring a piece of this lifestyle to Iowa and the result is Tavern Blue.Inspired by life on the water, Tavern Blue is a casual environment offering authentic brick oven wood-fired pizza, a full sized bar with local craft beers, wines and signature cocktails, and plenty of options for gaming and entertainment.Our mini golf course is one of a kind: boats, jet skis and sailboats dot the landscape as you navigate through our 9-hole course that is both unique and challenging.We also have a variety of entertainment options including professional foosball tables, super sized Jenga and Connect 4. Or you can watch your favorite game on the bar’s 8 TVS or the big screen!

The service was fine and the food was great. However, we were over charged for the meal and we were told it would take at least three business days for it to be addressed. This to me was unacceptable. I’m not sure what they’re thinking at this restaurant. Not good.
