The seven of us walked in 15 minutes before the kitchen was due to close and our waitress got us in and served. The food was delicious and so were the drinks!

Very loud. Hard to have a conversation. Food was good, server was good but could have been a little more friendly and attentive. Overall a good experience.

We had our small wedding reception at Court Avenue Brewing. Trisha, the event manager was so incredible at helping us plan, personalizing our experience and making our day as stress-free as possible! Thank you CABCO! 🤍

Arrived for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon. The place was quiet, with only a few other customers. I was seated immediately, and the service was great. The turkey avocado club was excellent. 10/10.

Court Avenue Restaurant & Brewery in Des Moines, Iowa is a great downtown spot for enjoying a drink in a relaxed, welcoming setting. On our recent visit, we stopped in for a quick drink and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and atmosphere. I ordered one of their house-brewed IPA beers, which was crisp, flavorful, and perfectly balanced for IPA lovers. My wife went with a grapefruit mule, which was refreshing, well-mixed, and had just the right amount of citrus zing.
The brewery itself has a beautiful, historic building vibe with high ceilings, exposed brick, and warm lighting that makes it feel both cozy and upscale. The brewing area behind glass is a fun touch — it’s always interesting to see where the beer is actually made while you’re enjoying a pint.
While we didn’t order food this time, the menu offers a wide range of pub favorites, burgers, sandwiches, and locally inspired dishes. Service was friendly and efficient, and despite the State Fair pulling most of the downtown crowd, the staff kept the atmosphere upbeat and welcoming.
Court Avenue is also known for being a great gathering place for friends, date nights, or pre-event drinks before a concert or game. If you’re exploring downtown Des Moines, it’s worth stopping in to try their craft beer, cocktails, and hearty food in a unique, historic setting.

We were in Des Moises for the U.S. senior Olympic. We went to this place for dinner. We ordered beers and some drinks along with the food. We waited for 45 minutes to get our drinks and another 15 minutes for the food. The turkey sandwiches some of us ordered did not have much flavor.
