“Went tonight for steak night! Best steak I've ever had! TJ on the grill was the absolute BEST! He definitely knows what he's doing! Will definitely be back! Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere!“

“It definitely has changed from when I have been there years ago, but it's definitely for the better. Whe. You walk in its nice and open on the right to have conversations you can hear and pool tables on the right. It now has a jukebox (it's what I still call it) and no longer a stage. You can tell that business is not as busy since the changes, hopefully it picks back up for whoever the brave bar owner is. The bar staff ,she was happy,honest and just plain people's, with drinks with perfect mixtures, that make you feel relaxed and at home.“

“Just a great bar, we meet our son there when we’re in town.“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! It appears they have their do no recommend set so that your post cannot publish. Called this morning to let the staff know we were going with a group of 12 and they said that would not be a problem. In an hour our group received water and a drink order placed but never got it. The same server continued to wait on other tables, make drinks for other tables and made no effort or hurry to make ours or come back to take our order. In addition, the bartender continued to walk around and socialize rather than makes drinks. We even wrote down our whole order and patiently waited for her to come back to make it easy for her. This is the second that we have attempted to come to your establishment with the same results.“

“darts, drinks, food and fun“

“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.“

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.“

“Very amazing family night tonight! We had a family of 9 and they got us in to eat right away, great food, great prices, fun for all! Bowling prices were also very reasonable! Will be back soon! Thank you to the amazing team!“

“We went to Boulder Tap for supper tonight. We're usually not trying new places people. I can't say enough good things about this place. Jennifer was an amazing server, with a huge personality. They were very busy, and she rocked it. The shakes were SO good. We all had cheeseburgers and fries. It took a long time to get our food, but we weren't worried about it. We were enjoying some family time. Without us saying a word, Jennifer talked to her manager, and they made it right with us. The burgers and fries were excellent. We also had the pretzel sticks with cheese sauce. They were fantastic. I highly recommend giving this establishment a try.“

Great place to relax and watch the game.They really know how to take care of their customers here! Highly recommend this place!“

“We really liked it. My wife had the Turkey Panini and I had the Nashville Hot sandwich, it was really good. The fries were very tasty as well, not to mention the great Selection of IPA’s! Service was spot on too with our server(s) being there right when we needed them for another round of IPA’s. Looks like a new “go-to” spot for us!“

“It has to have the friendliest bar tenders, bar owners anywhere. Great place just to hang out with friends and family to have a few and relax or party. Love the staff.“

“Awesome place to have a birthday party, your weekly golf league or just to keep your swing in shape during the off season! Not to mention all the foods made in house! 🤌🏻“

“😌It would be nice if they honored the Triv prizes.“

“Love the bar, free pool on Sundays, weekly specials, and friendly bartender. The reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is because the dj sucks. He takes a lot of smoke break, his mic smells like stale cigarettes, he sings the longest songs taking away time from the customers that are there to sing, and his equipment needs better sound quality. It drowns out the singer. So other than needing a new dj I say it’s a great place to visit!“

“Great Staff!! Very friendly and attentive even though they were busy and there were a lot of various activities happening in the area. Examples; Sr. Olympics, sports tournaments, State Fair arrivals, car races etc.
The food was great, nice selection and specials. Food arrived in a timely manner and was hot and freshly prepared.
Highly recommended ☺️“

“Great bar!! Best HAWKEYE bar!!“

“Sure, it's a strip mall bar that's pretty much a dive, but I love it. Staff is surprisingly attentive and polite for how busy it can get and I've never had much of an issue with the clientele. Love coming hear to watch Hawkeye, Cyclone or Cubs games. Insanely low prices also. One of my favorite bars in the city.“

“Great food and service! Great place to watch a game. Better than average food and TV’s everywhere“

“Great place to go for any kind of night out. Good drinks and even better service.
However; I noticed the tablets you pay on only offer up to 5% suggested tip. I’m hoping this is a mistake overlooked by management bc their servers deserve those numbers to say 18%, 20%, and 22%“

“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!“

“Events during the week are great! Fun bartenders, local patrons and all around great time!“

“Great service and the band was really good!“

“Lots of variety. Flavorful and hearty.“

“friendly CHEERS ATMOSPHERE.... jyst updated their food menu as well! great place to watch Football!!“

“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.“

“The atmosphere was very laid back, the food was really good we got buffalo egg rolls, spinach artichoke dip for appetizers I got the Philly cheesesteak and fries and friend got the Nutty Buddy Burger with Cole slaw we really enjoyed both appetizers and our meals. Service was quick and I appreciated how nice our server was also I assume the manager or lead but she kept coming over to make sure we were satisfied and that our food was tasting good! Definitely recommend! The food was a little pricey are tab came to 66$ with no alcoholic beverages but really good!“
