Stumbled on this place and glad I did. It is not really a dive but it is. Just a good local bar, that is themed as a Chicago Bears bar, with awesome bartenders. Was a great place to watch the college World Series game. And as a plus. They have mini beers. If you don’t know what that is just ask and order you will be glad you did.

Best football bar. Helps to like the Chicago Bears.
Decent time here. It was pretty empty, bar tender didn't speak much to our group of 7 unless we spoke to them first. No checking in or seeing if we needed anything.
Mini Beers were fun and delicious.

Was there for 30 minutes before we had to remind the front that we were there and hadn’t seen a waitress. Finally had someone come through to take drinks and apps. Then didn’t see the waitress for another half hour to take our food order. By that time our 1 year old was getting antsy and we needed to leave without getting food

If you are a diehard fan of the 1985 Chicago Bears or just a general Chicago Bears fan, THIS IS A FOR SURE MUST STOP PLACE. It might be a little small on the inside, but it makes up for it in service, atmosphere, decorations, food, and experience. I brought my dad here(who almost worships the 1985 Chicago Bears) and it was like taking a kid to Disney. It truly feels like your truly stepping into the world of The Monsters of Midway. Would highly recommend.

Came from out of town and a friend wanted me to try the mini beers. It was a great decision. I’ll be back next time I’m coming through Des Moines and hopefully get to vibe a little longer.

This is a nice place to get together with friends, especially for sporting events. I've been here 3x. Once to study during the day, once after a concert, and once to watch a game. They're known for their $5 shots of Malört and mini-beers which is actually a shooter of Licor 43 topped with heavy cream. They also serve hot dogs and Voodoo chips, best chips in my opinion. The bartenders here are always awesome! I wanted a Nut & Berries cocktail and they made one with the ingredients they had on hand and didn't charge an arm and a leg!
Nice place. Felt like bar for
