22 Best Sports Bars near Waukee

“My son and I had a great time!!! The staff was amazing and food was perfect! 🐻 Down!!!!“

“My lunch today at Saints Pub in Waukee, with two dear friends, was truly wonderful. My blackened salmon was tender and fabulous, and our server, Gerardo, was very helpful and attentive. Being able to relax on the patio on such a beautiful day was the cherry on top. We'll definitely be back!“

“I would highly recommend Caffereys! It does not only have great service, but it is a neighborhood bar that you can meet so many wonderful people! The staff is wonderful especially Marcy, Taylor and Kristin! This is like a second home for me. Regards, Shane“

“The owner is an absolute saint, he is so nice and a great human being! However, the bartender Megan Hampton is honestly the worst human being I’ve ever met in my life. She was rude to me the second I walked into the bar, then she screamed at me, I went to another bar, and the bartender said Megan did the exact same thing to her and her boyfriend. She openly talks about using cocaine and other inappropriate talk around the bar. She is single-handedly ruining the reputation and good name of Poncho. If you don’t believe me, sit at the bar when Megan is working and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.“

“They've really tried to change in the last 5 years or so. They offer daily special meals like steak night (mondays) and taco night (tuesdays). The steaks are legit some of the best I've ever had. Served with very well seasoned grilled onions and mushrooms.

Always great service. Small hometown feel. Love it!

They could improve the beer and liquor offerings. Very limited and no taps.“

“Outstanding! Super welcoming and friendly employees. My order arrived fast, correct, and tasted great! Full bar service and the bartender knew her stuff! Check it out!“

Kid-friendliness: The staff has always been so good with my daughter who loves to chit chat about what's going on with her and they are so warm and welcoming.“

“Pally's is the kind of place you walk into and instantly feel at ease. Whether you're catching the game or just vibing to some great tunes, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming—never too loud, always just right. The drink selection is top-notch, with something for every taste, and the food consistently impresses with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can tell they care about what comes out of the kitchen. What really sets Pally's apart is the staff. Friendly, courteous, and genuinely attentive, they make you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. If you're looking for a spot that blends good energy with great service, Pally's hits the mark.“

“Tito’s Lounge is one of those spots that just gets it right. The food was solid across the board, fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The ambiance is on point too. Relaxed but stylish and the kind of place you can actually enjoy a meal and a conversation without feeling rushed. What really stood out was the service. Attentive, friendly, and professional without being over the top. You can tell they care about the experience. Overall, a great spot whether you’re grabbing dinner, meeting friends, or just unwinding. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“Yanci was excellent ! Drinks were awesome and food was delicious and came so fast!“

“Olivia was great and deserves a pay raise“

“I arranged for my team to come in for a dual retirement party today and it was so much fun! I was able to talk to them and have food ready when we arrived. It was only $30/pp and that included shoes, the bowing, and a buffet that they kept on top of refilling plus unlimited pitchers of soda! They were so easy to work with. The food was great (get the cheese curds) and the staff was friendly. Extra shout out for a well kept and clean facility! We will be back :)“

“Great place to grab a beer and food with friends and coworkers.“

“I ordered A cup of soup and a side salad. I was told that the soup was a brothy soup and wouldn't have any type of thickener in it. Since I'm gluten free, that's what I needed. Unfortunately, when the cup of soup came it was not brothy. It was a thick soup. One of the people that I was with ordered some type of salmon I believe it was, it was so spicy she couldn't eat it. I didn't think the food was anything fantastic. The service was good in the atmosphere was good.“
