The Mill is a restaurant and music venue located in downtown Iowa CIty. More information on the menu and full show calendar can be found at www.icmill.com

History Keith Dempster opened The Mill Restaurant in 1962 as a coffee house/restaurant/folk music venue. It became the center of an Americana music community in Iowa City that achieved national and international fame. The Mill also became known for great pizza and sandwiches. Recent History In June, 2003 Keith and Pam, closed The Mill. The Mill was important to many people in Iowa City; where local landmarks have been replaced with cookie-cutter buildings and chain restaurants. On July 19, 2003 The Mill reopened, and we’ll keep it going as long as possible. The Goal To continue to keep The Mill a special place in Iowa City. To be home for local musicians and other creative artists. To bring great artists from outside Iowa to our intimate venue. To be a place where excellent people serve excellent food and drinks at a fair price.

We're thrilled to announce that comedian Neil Hamburger is coming to The Mill on Saturday, March 16 at 8 p.m. He'll be joined by *Major Entertainer* Mike H. A brilliantly awful persona of an old-school, C-list funnyman — the kind with an ill-fitting tuxedo and an enormous, greasy comb-over — on a very bad night. Neil Hamburger toys with an audience’s expectations (and patience), and indeed his act is a kind of rude commentary on stand-up comedy altogether.” - The New York Times Tickets are on sale now and available at: bit.ly/NeilHam

04/12/2018
