this place is now my favorite one of the fabled «ingersoll crawl» the bartender that everyone keeps talking about is awesome. he’s rude in the funniest most entertaining way. I love being teased if the person is good at it! anyway i hadn’t been back in a long time since i moved away but came back for Christmas and it was just as i remember. the moscow mules are amazing and I’ve seen all sorts of people there. solid place.

Alpin is one of our favorite bats. Jukebox, Moscow mules, pool table is all you need. No drama just drinks

When I think of what a dive bar should be, I think of the Alpine Tap Room. Small, dark, simple, unpretentious, but with a definite vibe of self-​respect. No torn booth upholstery, graffiti or dirty bathrooms (or dirty anything, really). Blue-​collar classy. A bar frozen in time.
The drinks are cheap, but good (Moscow Mules are a specialty). The jukebox is arguably one of the best in town. The staff start out nice, and become more friendly over the course of many visits. Regulars are a thing at the Alpine.
The only reason the Alpine doesn’t earn 5 stars for me is it’s recent discovery by those individuals some might refer to as «hipsters». The place loses some of its appeal when it becomes crowded and loud. But the hipsters will move on, and the Alpine with still be here when you need a beer.
A word of caution: this bar is cash only. However, there is an ATM on the premises.

Great little neiborhood bar on Ingersol that has been there for over 30 years! Good spot to pop in for a quick brew! The drinks are cheap and the décor makes you feel like you taking a time trip back to the 80’s!
Last time I was here, some guys from Chicago (former Drake students) stopped in to relive a little of that college drinking magic, that they left behind at the Alpine!
The staff here is great, but are not going to go out of their way, to accommodate a group of dudes from Chicago, who are being kinda rude, but if you are nice to them they will treat you like the cheap beer king that sits upon the mountain that is the Alpine!

3 beers on tap qualifies as a tap room? Hmm. Riiiight.
If you’re looking for a huge selection of crazy beers, go somewhere else. If you want a Schlitz, then this is your place!

Alpine Tap Room. Where the cold beer lives.
If you feel like experiencing one of the many dives the Ingersoll area has to offer, check it out.
Jimmy is awesome.
The jukebox is awesome.
Frank is an asshole… but he can be awesome too (in his own way).
The pool table is crammed in a corner where you need to be a contortionist to make certain shots… contortionist pool is always awesome.
I was the only lady in there on Tuesday’s ladies night, which made me feel like a hot tamale. Awesome.
I’ll just shut up now.
Go have a beer.
It’ll be awesome!

Moscow Mules. Let that copper warp my brain.
