20 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Des Moines

“The chicken sandwich is fire and the staff is great“

“Visited from out of town, and the baristas were so friendly!

The malted maple latte is easily one of the best I’ve had — perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with a hint of salt.

I also love their glass jar concept; ordered an americano to-go, and it came in a cute jar that I get to keep and reuse ♻️“

“Betsy is always the best barista and very friendly with me and my dog Tela and I always love talking with her and she makes the best mocha ever!“

“The ice cream here is absolutely delicious! I was also honored to meet the owner and some of the staff while I was working at a local haunted house and they were so much fun to be around! I will always love this place!“

“I had been eyeing this place for a while & was so excited to try it out. We were met with a nice atmosphere, quick service & delicious food + beer! The food was delivered ridiculously fast & we enjoyed the 5oz beer option as we were able to try more of what Lua has to offer.“

“A river of beer. Endless options. So many brews, each one a story in a glass. The staff—walking encyclopedias of hops, malts, and everything in between.

The brewer? Incredible. Warm, welcoming, generous. Took time to share her craft, her passion. You leave not just tasting the beer but understanding it.

The space? Massive and alive. Art on every wall, like the beer and creativity were brewed together. It's not just a brewery; it's an experience. Go for the beer, stay for the vibe.“

“The staff are always super friendly and kind!“

“Hands down my favorite bar. All the bartenders rock, the space is cozy, the drinks are actually reasonably priced, and they don’t skimp on the liquor. If it’s a busy night it can be HARD to find seating, but that’s most bars to be fair. Highly recommend“

“Great environment ( inside and out) to grab a beer and relax. Lots on tap to choose from. Never had one I didn’t like. Staff is friendly and happy to be there. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious ! Would 10/10 come back again and try all the flavors !“

“3/1/25 I ordered delivery My order was grilled chicken sandwich on sourdough bread with fries. The sandwich was very good and lots of great flavor. Herb fries were good too. I also, ordered the pretzel Bread Pudding, it was terrible dry and hard even with the carmel sauce. Bad choice.

“pastry's are the best, eggnog is delish, but top 30% of the cup was foam.“

“Just a great bar, we meet our son there when we’re in town.“

“Last week was my 1st time here, but the staff treated me like an old friend. & the pizza was amaaazing. While waiting for my food, there was a little girl who was dancing & fell (she was alright). The staff were very kind to her & even gave her a big cookie to have for dessert!“

“We just stayed for one beer but this place has a great vibe, great beer and friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Favorite coffee spot in Iowa!“

“We take our dog Bugsy to the dog park as often as we can and we take him to their doggy daycare every other week: The staff is always so friendly and helpful, they always remember Bugsy and every time he even spots Paws and Pints, he gets super excited! It’s his favorite place in the whole world! Dog park staff are also amazing watching over our dogs, giving them attention and making sure they are playing in a safe environment! Food and drinks are always great and they have the best food and drink deals! We highly recommend visiting Paws and Pints, it truly is a great addition to the Des Moines area! ❤️❤️“

“Very amazing family night tonight! We had a family of 9 and they got us in to eat right away, great food, great prices, fun for all! Bowling prices were also very reasonable! Will be back soon! Thank you to the amazing team!“
