Beautiful, vintage dive bar feel without the sticky surfaces! Bartenders and kitchen staff are super friendly and social. Lots to keep you entertained and give you an excuse to hangout longer. Great and affordable food and drink options.
I've always raved about the food here .
However last night I received burned eggrolls with no sauce. I got grinder frys . Tasted nothing like a grinder and frys overcooked. My burger was also overcooked and had no condiments. Frys hard as rocks . Had onion and pickle on burger. I've been sick ever since.
I used doordash. I'm not sure what happened but the food is usually phenomenal and cheap ☹️
Two pickle courts, outside seating, the hamburger was good. Friendly people and a great staff
Sweet spot for Pints/Patio/Pickleball!
Definitely will be back!! Great service drinks food n fun
I really wanted to like this place. Bad service, long wait, the signs say half price apps 1-6 but they will not honor that.
The overall experience was positive. Several regulars occupied their usual bar seats. Food quality was high and service was prompt. The atmosphere was pleasant, and both food and beverages offered excellent value.
Cold beer and good food.
Had a good time stopping by here with a friend last weekend. Will have to try the chicken wings next time!
First timer from out of town, but glad we trusted the reviews! Got the food DoorDashed and it was still fresh and tasted fantastic. The BLT was awesome - nothing fancy, but really well done. Crinkle fries are hard to beat when they’re done right and these were. We both loved the corn nuggets as well. We’ll definitely go in next time we’re in Des Moines.

Stopped by the other night while on a trip. Super chill bar with a great selection. Bartender was the star though, funny and very friendly guy. If I was a local, this would be my go-to bar every time. Check it out!

By the hammer of Thor, The Striking Sparrow is a feast worthy of Asgard! The Philly cheesesteak and Italian chicken sammich were a culinary triumph, with fries and salad fit for a warrior. The cocktails and Pepsi flowed freely. The service was as friendly as the halls of Valhalla, and the prices were as fair as Odin's wisdom. Highly recommend this mighty establishment!
