Board and Batten, LLC - Dallas Center, Iowa

This store has so many hidden gems, including Jimmy's Bar in the back. There's a speakeasy type space in the basement. They have a great charcuterie board available all the time. Thursday night is live music with a different musician each week. They have also started having steak night along with the music. The steaks are grilled outside by another small business owner. You can purchase the art hanging on the walls, all kinds of attire, candles, spices, antiques, and lots of unexpected finds.

The store: I love this cute little store. There is a large selection of local items as well as boutique clothing and antiques. What a great store to have in town! I have loved everything I have ever purchased there and already have a list for next time.

The bar "Jimmy's": Weird placement. It is totally fine in the middle of the day with no crowd, and to be fair we came for a drink for the first time during a town event, but it was hard to get to the actual bar/ordering area. There is no where to stand people are trying to push past you to get to the seating area, or you are trying to push past them as they stand to chat. Just a few cans set out behind the bar for the "menu" so if you do not know what they already have, good luck I guess? Maybe it was posted and I just couldn't see it because it was a busy event. Prices seem much higher than other establishments in town.

There is more seating downstairs in the "speakeasy" basement which is a really neat area, and the best part about the bar. We might try this part of the establishment again during a less busy time, but would not go out of my way to recommend anything past shopping.

Great owners! The store has a wonderful range of homegoods and clothing. The cutting boards are local and well made and my fave item in the store. While you sip and shop, enjoy the local art. Make sure you swing by on Thursdays for the free music. You can't go wrong!
