The Highlander Hotel

From the retro sunken seating to the boujee lobby bar, from local beers to classic cocktails, pizza to street tacos — there’s a lot to discover at The Highlander and Lucy's Iowa City.

And no, you don’t have to be a hotel guest to enjoy it!

Lucy’s is open to everyone. Whether you’re looking for a fun local dinner, grabbing drinks with friends or meeting up after a Hawkeye game, come on in.

Hotel guest or local, there’s always a seat for you at Lucy’s. https://www.highlanderhotel.us/iowa-city-restaurants/menu
