Good music, cold drinks, and dive bar atmosphere. The beer selection is great and drinks are inexpensive. Bartenders may look like they lead a motorcycle gang but have always been friendly and helpful. The team running trivia on Wednesdays do a great job too and make it a great time.

Rude, disrespectful, better than you, bartenders

I come here a lot, great location and cool atmosphere for a dive bar. Only down side is the bartenders are always angry. They seem to hate their jobs and all customers that come in. Don’t come in and talk to bartenders after 10 pm unless you want bad service. Could easily be a hidden gem in Des Moines but the service is consistently bad. It is hard to understand and just disrespectful when people working in the service industry do not understand the industry. Nothing worse than trying to order a beer from an angry bartender. Location 8/10 service 2/10. Just hire college kids they will work harder and treat people better.

Went there on a really slow night, maybe 7 other patrons? Bartender was not enjoyable in the slightest. Couldn’t give us a recommendation on a shot to take, only ID’d us after we ordered our shots in a weird way, and mentioned that it was a little strange bc it seemed like we hadn’t been in a bar before. Funny part was that we walked in with our IDs in our hands, but we didn’t get ID’d until we ordered 3 shots. Maybe that bartender should care about the liquor license a little bit more, or maybe offer some insight for our next time at the bar so we don’t make him disgruntled for having to do his job :)
One of the few genuine neighborhood bars that has a population that seems like each other.

Drink was way more alcohol than flavor. Pool was fun, customers were friendly. Server was friendly and attentive. Bar itself - loved the writing, good space for people, but it could’ve used a bit cleaning - especially in the bathroom. Long hours which is nice so you don’t feel like you’re being kicked out. Music was a bit repetitive but not a big deal. I would be back if we lived closer to the area.
