Plants + Friends + Spirits

Welcome to the Green House!

We are an oasis of greenery located in the heart of Iowa City—yet off the beaten path.

Our talented bar-tanists use local tinctures, herbs and bitters to create specialty cocktails with a botanical twist. We offer a plethora of Iowa craft beer, locally made ciders and many other plant-themed libations both spirit-full and spirit-free.

Enjoy a moment of zen or gather with a group of friends surrounded by our ever-expanding plant collection. We have two outdoor patios, an edible garden and a multitude of cozy nooks. You will also find an Area 51-inspired gathering space with an astro-turfed floor, a preserved moss wall with popping orchids and even our own Audrey 2!
