In this episode of Downtown Dish, hosts Charlie Nusser and Anna Moyers Stone visit The Green House, a charming plant-themed cocktail lounge and community space in downtown Iowa City. They chat with owner Emily Salmonson, who shares how a pandemic-era daydream inspired her to open the cozy urban jungle in 2022. Emily talks about their creative botanical cocktails, locally sourced kombucha, and the wonderfully quirky community events they host — including a Death Cafe, swing dancing nights, and even a UFO Enthusiast Club. It’s a warm, welcoming conversation about following your passion and building genuine community connections.
