Brightside was the venue for my daughter's graduation party. Everything went great and Andrew went above and beyond in accommodating the graduates requests. Guests loved the layout and the atmosphere. Chill place to grab a tasty adult beverage! 5 stars!

Hosted a bridal shower at Brightside and everything was great! Andrew was so helpful and ensured we had everything needed throughout the event! Highly recommend for a really nice casual place for a shower or small party! And the beverages are awesome too!

We got to be a part of an event at Brightside Aleworks on December 7th with Zellaphant Books and we had an absolute blast, the owner (Andrew) and the staff were extremely hospitable and helpful. All of their customers seemed to really enjoy themselves and everyone had a ton of fun together.

Andrew personally supported us and we’re always grateful for business owners that are so involved with the community!

Great joint and fantastic beers. The brewers are creative and always hit the flavor profile spot on! New age to classic styles are always on tap!

Great beer but didn’t have a food truck tonight. :-(

Hands down the best craft beer in des moines. Every time I come to town I have to stop. Drink 1. Or 3. And buy a dozen for the weekend. Absolutely amazing. Love this place.

Love the staff and all the local brew collaborations!
They have a food truck most nights, so when we meet friends and split a flight, we can grab a bite.

5 star service, beer and outdoors is great. Love the food trucks, BUT the screaming kids running all over indoors and around the food truck makes it impossible to enjoy the beer. I love family friendly breweries but parents PLEASE CONTROL YOUR KIDS!
