Absolutely disgusting establishment. Taking donations to support a drunk driver who killed someone’s child,brother,etc.. absolutely sick yall should be ashamed ??

This bar condones drunk driving and apparently finds it perfectly ok to drink get behind the wheel and kill somebody u see Kris Zech is in jail for driving drunk and hitting and killing my son so if you are ok with that this is your place

This is a very despicable bar. Instead of raising money for a young man whose life was cut short by a selfish man who decided to drink and drive, they are trying to help the murderer go free to do it again!!! I will not support this establishment. I'm sad they're in our community.

I’d give this place 0 stars if I could. My boyfriend and all of our friends ride, I now know to avoid this place like the plaque, because they’re openly taking donations for legal fees to be donated to the man who killed Spencer Rush, a 22 year old motorcyclist killed by one of their patrons in a drunk driving accident. This is despicable and y’all should be ashamed. I don’t care what the excuse is, he killed someone. Please patronize one of the other amazing bars in Des Moines. This is appalling.

This place is currently accepting donations on behalf of a convicted drunk who carelessly killed a 22 year old. RIP to your restaurant, Buddy. This is sickening.

This bar is asking for donations for a killer, drunk, and criminal! Horrible. Never spend your money here. That man should be behind bars and this bar can rot! #

Honestly, I used to love this bar. I used to adore its staff. I've been coming here a while and let me tell you, they fire their best staff and their manager (D) , while admittedly sometimes super fun to be around flies off the handle when he gets even slightly annoyed. I feel like the best people to be around don't work there anymore. They rotate through Bartenders and KJ's so much, that no point in learning peoples names. (still do but feels hopeless at this point) I'm holding out hope since their most recent KJ hire seems like a great, fun, professional person. Fingers crossed this place improves again.
