From the tasty food to the giant Scrabble board, shuffleboard table and patio with fire pits, the Hotel Grinnell’s Periodic Table lounge isn’t your everyday school cafeteria. Our lunch-period-meets-recess vibe makes us the perfect gathering spot for cocktails while you blow off a little steam. When it comes to the beer curriculum, our smarty-pants staff has combed the state of Iowa to bring you the best from local breweries like Peacetree (Knoxville, IA), Exile (from Des Moines, otherwise known as the state capital) and Toppling Goliath (Decorah, IA).

From the tasty food to the giant Scrabble board, shuffleboard table and patio with fire pits, the Hotel Grinnell’s Periodic Table isn’t your everyday school cafeteria. Our lunch-period-meets-recess vibe makes us the perfect gathering spot for cocktails and tapas-style light bites while you blow off a little steam.

It’s always a great time at The Periodic Table. If Glenbrook North High School had a hangout like this, Ferris Bueller never would’ve skipped!
