A so-called “plant bar” is opening up in the former location of Van B’s in Iowa City.
The Green House plans to open its doors by the end of the month on the corner of Van Buren and Washington Streets. Owner Emily Salmonsen, one of the founders of FilmScene, told the Cedar Rapids Gazette that The Green House will differ from other area bars in that it will be filled with plants and plant-based décor with large windows and “ample” patio space.
The bar will feature plant-themed cocktails along with other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The former Van B’s location has been empty since November of 2020.
