This place is sh*%, I use to come here all he time. this past week I had the unfortunate time to deal with the most racist bartender ever. From reading the reviews, it seems like her name is "Michelle" This chick had the odacity to say crap to my friends because I took my cousin out to the car to get her passport she had no identification besides that, because she came here for vacation. Thinking I brought her to a decent place to have a good time, the bartender was saying crap to a friend of hers " ugh I bet they are not coming back either because they are illegal or underage, they probably thought they were going to get away with it." As I walked back in the bar she didnt realize that one of my friends over heard what she said. Once we showed her that we were LEGAL. She acted all faked and nice towards us. As soon as I heard what she had said we walked out. Honestly if people know thats their job why did she need to act disrespectful towards us. Employees like her make good places not comfortable.

Was told multiple times over the PA system at 515Alive 14 that the official, FREE afterhours would be here. They had promoted Lime Lounge and even handed out glossy free drink vouchers for artists and VIP ticket holders. So we get on over to the place and theres a line out the door, and SHOCKER, theyre asking for a $9 cover. I dont think Ive ever paid more than a few bucks, but it was announced to be free. Its kind of insulting that they did this, and also charged more than usual, knowing damn well there was going to be a crush of people. Giving drink vouchers was also underhanded, free drinks arent worth jack if youre going to charge a cover so high.

So it seems like a lot of these negative reviews are just a group of people who had one negative experience. I absolutely love this place! I come almost every Wednesday and its wonderful every time. Michelle is fantastic, she does her job to the fullest, plays great music, and gives out good vibes. Its a great place to chill inside and out, decorated beautifully, and there is a nice dance floor to move on. And the floors are never sticky! 5/5 for sure!

This is really a gem of a hang out!! I love the contemporary appeal of actually feeling like you are in a metropolitan setting. There are to many just blah bars and pubs around so this place raises the notch. The staff are all wonderful and the Martinis can cost but oh so good! Lime makes me feel at ease and not lost in the burbs. Music is hip, drinks are delish, and a spinning DJ is visual. Check it out!!

After moving back to Iowa from the east coast i was thrilled to find a place like lime. Totally not like any other Iowa bar, it has a distinct lounge feel with great drinks and classy atmosphere. Between the karaoke nights, salsa and DJs on the weekends, it has something for just about everyone. If you want to feel like youre in a bigger city without leaving town, this is definitely the place to be.

Its a deceptively large fun place to go when you need a breather. Ive yet to go here and not have a good time. Experimenting with drink concoctions is a passion of mine and the bartenders have been very patient! Speaking of the bartenders, special mention goes to Michelle, Jennifer, and Hailey. You are all my absolute favorite bartenders!

If you are from the Caribbean this is NOT the Liming experience you are expecting. Its just another nightclub, its fine as far as nightclubs go but the name can be culturally misleading. I do recommend people check it out though, dont gather any expectations from the name and you will have a good time

Gino is the heart of lime lounge. He is kind and really nice and warm. I had bad experiences before with one female staff and sadly 2 customers they were super discriminating but hey I knew they did that because we were the only ones in the club. I love that now Gino is hosting karaoke

Birthday specials are terrible (free drinks sound nice, unless theyre not just mixer). Furniture is old, dirty, and needed replaced. New doorman is rude. DJs ignore request & play horrid techno (and I like techno). Martinis are over priced. Service is slow & poor. Dance floor is small.

Great place to meet up with friends, the drinks are delicious, the sound system will have you dancing to what ever music they are playing. Patio is perfect with its own bar...

Lauren, is fraaking amazing. What a doll. Love this place. Come on out and enjoy a mojito, or a martini, and or a beer. Thursday nights, come on out to do some salsa dancing.

Ruperto Rodriguez

I liked it, nice place for a mojito or other beers. Cool vibe. Ill have to check it out on a busier night though as when I went it was very lonely inside. Music was good.

Visited on St.Patricks day, Ive been here before. Hands down best lights and sound in Iowa. Very swank, neat, clean and can be fun for dancing to electronic.

This place smells horrible and its really hot inside, the outside padio is the only nice thing. Some staff (females) are rude & stuck up

Drinks are a bit pricey and could be mixed better. Go next door and youll spend half as much.
