Lounges in Des Moines, IA

“first time there. I spent New Year’s eve night there. Fantastic food great drinks great service great people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I think jay is his name. Great bartender. All I know is if you haven’t gone…you’re missing out!“

“always lots of fun, sports, good drinks, food, come on in. If you are sensitive to language, off colored jokes, flirtatious., stay away“

“coolest bar we have been in...bartender was super friendly“

“The food was good. It seems like they're better known for their drinks, though, and I don't drink alcohol. The very nice bartender did mention that they make mocktails, which I did not order. I got the Melon & Prosciutto Crostini and Roasted Pear Salad. Both were delicious, but I thought the portions and amount of toppings/accompaniments were a bit scarce for the price. My friend got the Tilapia Tacos--also good, and a more appropriate size for the price. The service and design of the place were also good.“

“Only had drinks, no food so can't rate that. Fun entrance to get in, then stairs to the lower level. Dimmed lighting provides a good atmosphere to enjoy drinks and relax.

Watched the quartet set up their instruments and get tuned up. They started at 8pm and more people filtered in as they started playing. Great group, wished we could have stayed longer.

Great venue, the drinks were excellently made, and the staff was attentive without being pushy. Highly recommend for those looking for live music and delicious drinks with the vibe of days gone by.“

“Five stars. It’s good to know that even as life changes, West End Lounge still feels like home. AJ, the bartender, was on his A game!

Walking into West End Lounge as a Drake alum felt a little like opening a Pabst Blue Ribbon on Greek Street before heading into West End but nobody’s trying to recruit you for a group project. The moment I stepped inside, my brain said, “This is where my GPA went to plateau as my social life flourished.”

Sitting there, watching the game, I felt that old Bulldog spirit creeping back in. West End is one of those rare places that grows up with you: still fun, still familiar, but now with fewer questionable decisions and more appreciation for a stiff drink.“

“I think Mary go round is the most comfortable bar in Des Moines u never have to wait for a drink and prices are reasonable“

“It's a small, Speakeasy your bar, below Civeche restaurant in Des Moine' East Village. Bree and the other 2 ladies (I didn't get your names) behind the bar made my 1st experience there a great time. Bree made me a great Mezcal Old Fashion. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other cocktails.“

“As a Marriott Bonvoy member, I wanted to try Mash & Marrow while we were near the hotel, and it ended up being a great choice for lunch. The service was excellent, our server was attentive, friendly, and quick with drink refills, which always makes a difference. I ordered the Caprese sandwich with chicken, and it was fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and really well balanced. The sweet potato fries were also delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly how they should be. The other entrées at our table were the Asian salad and the corn chowder, and both were excellent as well. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtful, and well-prepared. Overall, a really good lunch experience and definitely worth stopping by if you’re staying at the Marriott or nearby. Friendly service + great food = an easy recommendation.“

“Best dinner and drink experience. Our waiter was so polite and accommodating. Food was great! Drinks were on point! Thanks for the great service! Our waiter ran down the street to give me my sunglasses I had left behind. Went above and beyond the entire time!“

“One of my favorites places to preform at ! Clean , safe and full of entertainment“

“Great place to celebrate with bottle service. Variety of music to keep everyone dancing. 2 for one drink on Friday and $100/bottle service. Posh place“
