The Longest Yard Reviews
Great hole in the wall atmosphere, too bad they are closing their doors in about ten days. Nice location in historic Valley Junction...good drink prices, good bar food, just don't upgrade your fries to a house salad (mediocre lettuce and croutons with cheese shouldn't constitute a house salad, but everyone has their own opinion)...all in all, go there before it is no more!
I live in Phoenix, AZ but grew up in West Des Moines, Iowa and the downtown area (like many small towns) was a bit run down. Now years later there is a vibrancy, an embracing of what was. The Longest Yard is a great little sports bar, fun, part of that new awakening. Cold beer, mixed drinks, good food. Small town groove with a big heart
I only discovered this place a few months before they were forced (change in building ownership) to close (July 2022), but I'm going to miss it. Fun place with great food and service! I hope the owners open up a place somewhere else!
