11 Best Cocktail Bars in West Des Moines

1 Winchester Public House

4.7 Superb 191 Reviews

224 5th Street, West Des Moines

“The atmosphere and drinks are top notch. I can't say the same for service. Apparently it is acceptable to not ask if our group would like anything else AND for the tab to be tossed on our table while walking by? Yes, I am still that person that tips at least 20% because I understand we all have "off" days but that is no excuse. It would have been 100% if the service was there.”

“Went over the weekend as it was super hot out and the drink flight slushees hit the spot! A bit sugary but def recommend for the sweet tooth fans. The Strawberry Banana was really yummy! The only complaint was sat a drink down to play a game and when went back to get it a server had taken it away. Other than that a very fun time!”

“I've always loved coming here with friends and having a morning girl date. I have even come here in the past for an evening event with drinks and appetizers, we really enjoy this place. They have good coffee. Good breakfast. The only reason I gave them 4 stars, instead of 5 is because I really wish they would bring back the crumpets. This is one of the very few places we could find that had crumpets on the menu, I really, really wish they would bring them back.”
