Go Fish Restaurant, Princeton Iowa

A fun place right on the Mississippi River in Princeton, Iowa.  The top floor has a large outdoor patio with tiki bar.  It is a bit cozier in the winter inside. But outside on the patio, they do run outdoor heaters when the temperature takes a chill.

Nice view of the river and decent food.  Mostly just grill food, but they have a special every night.  They have bands on some weekends too.  Beer, too.

From the bottom picture, you can see the start of the Princeton backwaters and Princeton Beach.  This is looking north.
