Excellent food and SO reasonably priced! Try the fried goat cheese appetizer. Its very relaxed and service can be slightly slow but if you know that ahead of time it's no big deal.

They used to have bands here but now I think they're embracing the neighborhood bar persona. I really think it's the best non Irish bar pints of Guinness in Des Moines. Food is always good there. seems to be an older crowd there usually. Also i once had a gin martini there that was out of this world!

Lots of space inside and no wait to sit down, but the waitress barely came to our table and it took over 40 minutes to get our food due to a mixup and some of our food was cold

Probably the best food for the money in Des Moines. So few people seem to realize this.

Really cool place but took forever to be taken care of. And the food wasn’t that great but would try again and see if it’s different this time.

I've been here before, but gotta admit, it was several years ago! I should have come here more often!! A friend (a regular here) and I split a Monte Cristo sandwich--my first one ever!! And I would definitely order that again. We also shared some dumplings and eggrolls!! Everything was delicious!! I'll be back soon!!

Star bar is a gorgeous local dsm spot I'd highly recommend! You walk in and the ambience is beautiful, and the furniture was sparkling it looked so clean. They have beautiful art all over and the bathrooms were clean as well. We stopped in for apps and a couple drinks and we weren't disappointed! We got the Buffalo chicken wings with ranch and the pork dumplings. I'd highly recommend both, so delicious!! Probably the best pork dumplings I've ever had! Our bartender Jill made amazing drinks and is super friendly and welcoming! She made us lemon drops, a mandarin martini and a blackberry lemon drop martini. So yummy! Stop in when you can, I think they also have live music from time to time. All in all great experience!!

My friend and I sat at the bar with the other 3 total patrons. The bartender asked for a credit card for tab even though we were paying cash. She said it company policy and NOTHING would be charged. We split the $40 tab and left $12 for a tip. Two days later I had a five dollar charge on my card. I realize It's only $5 but it's the principle of the matter.
