Really decent neighborhood bar
Perfect for pre (and post) Beachland drinks - nice selection of craft beers.

This bar is named for our 13th president and is decorated with a lot of presidential pictures. It is truly a fun little neighborhood bar. We stopped in for a drink during the Waterloo Art Fest and it was very busy. All the tables were taken and people were standing listening to a local band. We enjoyed the atmosphere and ended up staying long than we planned. There were two staff behind the bar. They were very efficient considering the number of people as well as friendly. If we are in the area we would definitely stop by again.

The owner, Jim, was very warm and friendly and serves a nice drink. This felt like walking into the bar on the show Cheers. There was a nice small crowd of folks that many of them seemed to know Jim have laid back friendly attitudes. The theme of the place was pretty cool. We actually had a brief history class on the presidents and the name of the bar. I plan to come back when in the area.

Excellent vibe and a comfortable place where everyone is welcome. Unpretentious yet not a dive bar which is the perfect combination. Yes, the Beachland is THE music venue on this street, but the owner of this place supports local musicians often. Expect live music on a random week night and enjoy craft beers on tap. This place lifts up the Waterloo Arts District and you can grab wood-fired pizza across the street.

My husband is a presidential history buff. President Fillmore doesn't actually have a library so it was fun to visit this tongue in cheek bar with Fillmore motif. Plus we got fun t-shirts. Bartender was a hoot!

Bartenders are nice and personable. The bar itself is cool. The place feels like the show Cheers.

Such a great place to grab a drink when you're in the N Collinwood neighborhood. The owners couldn't be nicer. Huge supporters of the community who care about providing residents and patrons with quality drinks, food, music and art. Supports of local talent. Only place in the zip code to find a tasty veggie dog. Long live the Mil Fil

The restaurant was closed, even though the website listed them as open. I called to confirm and got no answer. They should at least have a message that gave the status.
