Riding the Park & Ride to the Fair? You're already close.

DART's Capitol Complex shuttle drops you off within an easy walk of Iowa Taproom, whether you're grabbing a bite before you catch your ride or celebrating with a beer once you're back. Park at the Capitol, walk over to us, then walk back and let the shuttle do the rest.
