Flora takes front and center at Iowa City’s newest bar The Green House, transporting visitors to an indoor garden complete with drinks inspired by the greenery.
The Green House, which opens Saturday, marks another plant-themed bar in the state. West Des Moines welcomed its green-themed bar Pots & Shots earlier this year.
Emily Salmonson, owner of The Green House, told the Press-Citizen that the idea for the bar was born while she was at home during the pandemic and wanted to be surrounded by plants.
That and a cold Iowa winter made Salmonson crave greenery.
