    Historic Dive bar Writers' hangout Classic jukebox Pool table
    Established in 1934, Dave's Fox Head Tavern is Iowa City's oldest standing bar, nestled at the corner of Market and Gilbert Streets. Its unassuming exterior belies a rich history, having been a favored haunt for writers and creatives seeking a relaxed atmosphere away from downtown's hustle. Inside, the bar features scarred wooden booths, a classic jukebox, and a lone pool table, all contributing to its timeless charm. Notably, a fox head adorns the wall above the bar, adding to its distinctive character. While the drink selection is straightforward, patrons appreciate the strong pours and the bar's welcoming ambiance. It's a place where conversations flow as freely as the drinks, making it a cherished spot for both locals and visitors.
