We’re the official University Of Iowa club for the New York Metro Area.

A Midwestern mindset is a beautiful thing, and there’s nothing quite like spending football Saturday with your Iowa friends. At the New York Metro Iowa Club, we’re committed to supporting all University of Iowa fans living out our Hawkeye values in the Greater New York area. That’s why we were just named the Iowa Club of the Year!

The official NYC Iowa bar is Playwright Irish Pub, where the beer flows freely, there’s a shot for every touchdown, and there is always enough ranch with your tater tots. Find us at 27 W 35th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues in Midtown every football Saturday and for select events throughout the year.
