The Shipyard Bar
Interior, after hours
The Shipyard Bar was a recreational facility and bar near the Riverside Shipyard in Riverside, Iowa, in the alternate reality. According to a sign outside, it was open late. Lew was the bartender at the Shipyard Bar.
The various items on the menu included Klabnian fire tea, Budweiser Classic, Cardassian sunrise, Slusho, Jack Daniel's, Papalla juice, Jestral tea, Mareuvian tea, Home base fries and Saurian brandy.
Nyota Uhura visited the bar in 2255, where she met James T. Kirk. Shortly thereafter, a bar fight erupted between Kirk and four Starfleet Academy cadets, who beat him savagely. The fight was broken up by Captain Christopher Pike, who a year later referred to it as an "epic beating". (Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness)

Appendices
Background information
This bar is referred to as "The Warp Trail" Bar in the screenplay for Star Trek. [1] During pre-production on that film, the bar was named Dodge bar. Many background actors listed themselves as "Dodge bar characters" in their resumes. [2]
Scenes at the bar were filmed in an American Legion bar in Hollywood. The weird pattern displaying light panels were meant to evoke a Blade Runner-y feel. (citation needed • edit) It also featured much memorabilia related to space travel, including salt shakers modeled on the USS Kelvin.
Apocrypha
The novelization of the film Star Trek, while still referring to the Riverside Shipyard, places the bar in Storm Lake, 250 miles away.
