Great bartender! He's always been super friendly and engaging whenever my group comes through. The whole atmosphere up there is really cool and the beers they have are great. Love going here to try some new imported beer I've never heard of. I typically eat downstairs at the Royal Mile, then head up here for a couple drinks. Definitely recommend making the trip downtown for this place.

The Red Monk space upstairs from The Royal Mile was rented out for an event and the staff handling the food and drink orders were very responsive and everything was great.

Really enjoyed this spot. Sat upstairs. Cozy setting and cool bar. Scotch eggs were ok.

Great atmosphere with a wide variety of Belgian beers. Collin is an awesome bartender and I’ve always had a great experience with him behind the bar!

Marty Hogan

Loved the atmosphere. The food was good, and the beer was awesome. Will be back. Would be nice to temper the a/c a bit when it is not summer out. I get your servers get hot, but freezing out the customers is counterproductive as well. Table next to us cut their stay shirt because the were freezing and we didn't stay as long as we would have as well.

Bartender was amazing! Good conversation, good music, and good beers! They have a very nice whiskey and scotch selection.

Had a good time in this Belgian themed place where I had been to attend the trivia night!The staff was friendly and accomodative to my specific food and beverage request! The trivia was good, and I didn't realise how the time went by. Great way to cap off my last day in Des Moines.

Bartender was great! Very knowledgeable and very creative. Loved the ginger drink! It was our 5 year anniversary last Saturday so my husband treated us to a night out. The Red Monk is definitely a new favorite.

Red Monk was actually a backup plan for our rehearsal dinner after we were not able to utilize the patio at Truman's Pizza due to cold weather. The space is beautiful and well lit, not how I previously remembered. They've done some awesome updates and the staff there were attentive and amazing to work with. I highly recommend this spot.
