Bars with home style seating can feel cozy or can feel dingy and gross. This place is definitely one of the dingy and gross ones.

Go here with my boyfriend, have never had a bad time! They have art exhibitions on the walls, sometimes local music and events! Overall a really nice place to get some drinks and maybe catch a show!

I was very impressed with the service and knowledge of the bartender. I happened to ask if they put dairy in their espresso martinis because I am dairy free and she let me know that they had two different dairy free creamers and made me an amazing drink!

The Lift has the best atmosphere of any bar in DSM. It’s low-lit and comfortable, worn in but not dirty. Ava is a stellar bartender. Always nice to visit for a few gimlets and a few games of chess.

The bartender's handshake could never. The one bartender is spinning vinyl and shaking cocktails simultaneously. Lana del Rey is drinking a spaghett in the corner. Art is on the walls.

Bar tender was nice. Very small bar with a nice atmosphere. Drinks were good. $9 each. They have a small area for a band but there is not enough space for a normal audience area. The bar is on the ground floor.
