16 Best Cocktail Bars near Ankeny

“Best restaurant in ankney! By so far haven’t change. Has best customer service and FOOD!“

“Definitely our go to resturant. The drinks. The food. The atmposphere. All of it!“

“Can't wait to come back! Got the Bananas Foster French Toast. It was very good, I probably would get a side of eggs or meat for more substance though. Tried the biscuits and gravy with eggs, which the gravy was well seasoned! Also tried the pancake sandwich and it is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Intend on getting the shrimp and grits the next time I come back!“

“What a fun New Year’s party! Thanks for hosting a great event. We all look forward to coming back. Great drinks, fun decor, and super friendly staff. Thank you!“

“Incredible cocktails, great music and the best vibes with a few fantastic plates on the menu.

This spot is run by some of the coolest and most creative people in the city. James Beard semifinalists. Don’t sleep on it.

The only downside is that it can get a little busy, but it’s always feel good. If it’s chill, ask one of the bartenders to make you something custom. They know what they’re doing.“

“Finn’s is a great bar!! Everyone is so kind and welcoming, the staff are all awesome, and the drinks are great! It’s such a vibe there and as a lesbian in and interracial marriage, my wife and I have never felt uncomfortable at all. All the patrons are great!“

“A tight knit clan rolls there, the regulars, but ever expanding I think. I didn’t feel too much an outsider, but the guy sitting next to me was there exactly for that reason, to wander and be the quiet stranger at a mid town pub. It’s quaint and an asset to the neighborhood. Thank you.“

“We had our wedding reception here and our guests were blown away by the staff and the atmosphere! Such a great place and awesome staff!“

“As a Peruvian living in Ames away from my family out on the East coast, this felt like a taste of home. Service was incredible, food was falling off the bone, and you can even get a 2L of Inca Cola to take home! Will absolutely be visiting again!“

“A delightful meal for the price! We were there for the restaurant's 13th Anniversary 4 course dinner. All the food was delicious. The first course, the Soup Duo (half roasted corn, half tomato) was amazing! Portions were moderate. Servers were very pleasant and accommodating, although a bit undertrained & seemed stretched too thin. It was a Tuesday, and the restaurant was half full.“

“Great little place. Definitely for the Cubs fans. Great variety of bomb drinks. I had the Capri sun and that's exactly what it tasted like. Black cherry rum with an orange monster Delicious. Bartender was great, friendly and helpful. Will be going back when we are in town again.“

“We hired Nightingale to bartend our wedding reception. Can not recommend highly enough! My husband and I had a pretty specific vision for what we wanted for the bar, and from the first meeting Heather and Tovka clearly committed to learning and achieving that vision. Great communication throughout the months leading up to the day, and heard a ton of compliments from guests about the service and drinks. The bar they set up exceeded our expectations! Hire these folks right now.“

“Bears fans need to come and watch a game“
