At the Mucky Duck, we believe that diversity is the spice of life. We welcome everyone here, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or political affiliation. I expect my staff and my customers to treat all people with respect at all times, excepting those who come here with hate in their hearts. I expect my staff and my customers to, in whatever ways they can, help us to promote these values. Times have changed and the time has come to take a stand. We all have a moral obligation to at least try to make a difference.
Please don’t drink and drive! If you need a ride home, PLEASE ask! Marcus will get out of bed and come down to drive you home if necessary – no charge. We will also get you an Uber at no charge if that works better.

We support the right of mothers to nurse their babies publicly in our restaurant. We ask that nursing mothers be discreet when possible and that other customers be respectful of this very important part of raising a baby!
If everything is not up to par, PLEASE let somebody know and we will do our best to make it right. If you do not see dramatic improvements after saying something, then feel free to tell the world about it on you favorite social media channel!!
We do not charge extra if you would like to share an entree. However, please remember we are a locally owned business and we’re just trying to make a living.
Why do we have a BLM mural in the pub? If I am a member of Save The Whales, it doesn’t mean I want all the dolphins to die. It means that I believe whales are really struggling and I have chosen to do what I can to highlight their plight to other people. I don’t want dolphins to struggle either but due to time and other constraints, for now I have chosen to focus on whales. Please do not deface our beautiful mural.
We are open and affirming to all those in the LGBTQIA community. Hate has NO PLACE HERE.

Size DOES matter!!
If our beer seems a little more expensive than some other places, remember this.
At the Mucky Duck our pledge is to fill your glass to within 0.25” of the top of the glass
(or the volume marker).
The graphic above demonstrates how much money short measures can actually cost.
Shockingly, people accept these short measures at other bars without question.
Don’t!!
You wouldn’t fill you car up at a gas station that only delivered 7/8 of each gallon you paid for!
Don’t accept short measures at other bars and restaurants…. and if we do short you,
say something!!
In England, pubs are often named after animals. For example The Red Lion or The White Horse or The White Swan. The latter is a fairly common pub name. A little less common would be the Black Swan. A black swan in nature is very rare, more likely you would see a dirty (or mucky) duck. So, mucky duck is a colloquialism for black swan and so Mucky Duck becomes a nickname for the pub name Black Swan. We chose this name for our pub because it is fun. The Mucky Duc in Ames is not related to any of the half-dozen or so other Mucky Ducks in the US. As far as we are aware, these other pubs are all independently owned and operated and exist in harmony with each other as do like-named pubs in the UK. Just for fun, here are the top ten English pub names – the numbers represent the number of pubs having that name.
The Crown (704)
The Red Lion (668)
The Swan (451)
The White Hart (431)
The Railway (420)
The Plough (413)
The White Horse (379)
The Bell (378)
The New Inn (372)
