Excellent service! Fantastic Czech goulash! All homemade! The oldest bar in Cedar Rapids! Kudos to my friend Jeff!

If you want authentic home cooking this is the place. Old time bar, decor hasn't changed much in 40 years. Great food when available. Kitchen hours are limited

My husband and I have been coming here for years. There is something very special about this place. Family owned for 39 years and the oldest bar in Cedar Rapids. When you visit you will love all the original furnishings, the newspaper articles and so many nostalgic pictures. This place has survived many up and downs with the most recent being the pandemic and having a hard time finding employees ( as in every industry right now). If you are looking for a uniques cozy atmosphere with an owner for over 39 years, look no further. Also when the owner (Jeff) isn't busy ask him to see his pictures of his original establishment when it first opened. We highly recommend Little Bos for everyone!!!

Cozy Little dive bar that made its way into a famous Marvin Cone painting. Nestled right in between the New Bohemian area and the Czech Village area, this bar provides a ton of atmosphere and historical trinkets. For a city that has two districts named for the Czech people it is surprisingly complicated to find good Czech and Slovakian food. I had the goulash and dumplings with sauerkraut. Definitely the best sauerkraut I've ever tried. The goulash and dumplings was just like granny made it. I would definitely recommend this place for historical atmosphere and delicious food!

The most AMAZING pork tenderloin I've had and don't get me started on the sweet potato fries!! Family owned and super friendly staff! Nothing but a thumbs up from us!!

Best Holiday decorated bar in downtown CR! Cozy atmosphere for the Holiday season! Been here many times! One of my most favorite bars to be at for the Christmas season. That being said. Jeff my not always come off as Jolly as SANTA, at first, but give him a little time. He can become as friendly as a sugar cookie once you get to know him. Burgers and tenderloin is good Goulash is great! Also only bar with 6ft SANTA! With Christmas Music!
