(Iowa City, IA) – January 29, 2024 – Iowa Ave Hospitality Group, renowned for introducing unique concepts like Scout’s Honor and Camp, is set to unveil its latest venture in downtown Iowa City.

Spanning 3,850 square feet, Giddy Up boasts an expansive dance floor and embraces a nostalgic country-western aesthetic with a contemporary twist. The venue features wooden walls, a shiplap bar, and other rustic elements that transport guests to the charm of an old-time saloon with a pop of color. The atmosphere will be enhanced with music videos displayed on monitors throughout the space and line dancing on boot-scootin’ Sundays. Giddy Up will offer a diverse beverage menu, featuring themed cocktails, high-end whiskeys, and beer boots with the usual run-of-the-mill beer selection.
Owner Josh Immerfall expressed his excitement, saying, “Giddy Up is our ode to country living, and we can’t wait to bring this unique concept to downtown Iowa City.”
