According to Iowa.gov:

The hours during which alcoholic beverages may be legally sold and served are:
• Monday through Saturday 6 AM to 2 AM
• Sunday 8 AM to 2 AM

A Sunday sales privilege is required for all off-premises beer and all on-premises liquor, wine and beer licensees wanting to serve on Sundays. Licensees may not sell, serve, dispense, or consume alcoholic beverages at private parties or while cleaning the establishment on Sundays, unless the premises is also licensed for Sunday sales privilege.

Only Class E liquor licensees (carryout liquor) and Class B wine permittees (carryout wine) have a Sunday sales privilege as part of their basic license.
Iowa Code sections §123.36(6)§123.49(2)(b) and (k), and §123.134(5)
