20 Best Beer Bars near Des Moines

“this place is awesome. took me boys and their cousins for a couple of hours and had a blast. great place to spend some time.“

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎“

“I’m a cider snob and they had so many new ones for me! Companies I love but also brands I’ve never heard of. New flavors I’ve never had. I am so wildly impressed. I dropped a lot of money on cans to go but also stayed to have a few small pours.“

“This is the loveliest little place that despite its delicious menu and incredible cocktails still feels kind of unknown. Even friends that have lived in WSea for years haven’t heard of its existence. Even though I’d like to keep it that way, I’d much rather have it succeed and never go away.

Also, got to meet one of the owners tonight, super nice guy with very kind friends. The bathroom even has VIP club-style amenities like toothpicks, mints and lotion. We ❤️ Locöl.“

“Fantastic tavern in a beautiful neighborhood in north end. A huge variety of tasty local beers. Beautifully decorated with a warm inviting atmosphere. Didn’t have food but heard (and saw) that it’s fantastic. Lots of games including shuffleboard, darts and pool for only 50 cents!!“

“Highly recommend! The buffalo chicken salad was the best salad I’ve had in a long time.“

“Solid Neapolitan Pizza, tried the Margherita (as anyone should for their first try at a pizza joint). Crust was light and fluffy with a light charr, flavor was solid, & no flop/solid undercarriage on each slice. Sauce & cheese were tasty and the whole pizza tasted very fresh!

Also tried their Moscow mule, with house made ginger beer: delicious!

Friendly service, will definitely be back next time I’m in Vashon!“

“I performed here a few weeks ago and I had a great time!! The room is super cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the bulgogi cheesesteak is delicious! I definitely recommend The Brick 😎“

“Thanks for making the new beer Mirror's Edge in collaboration with our Burien Run Club (Burien Run Walk). It is really good! You are always friendly and this is just a great place for us to meet on Thursday nights. I can't recommend this establishment enough! shout out to Blake and to the brewer Michael. You are amazing!“

“I support establishments that support inclusivity“

“Sometimes a bad experience can turn into a great experience. I recently ordered online from Watershed FC and paid in full. Unfortunately, management forgot to update their website that they were closed that day. So, when I arrived to pick up my pizza, the doors were locked! I was frustrated. So, I wrote into the website and asked for a refund. By the time I got home (15 minutes), I received two emails and a phone call. They were deeply apologetic, and I could tell their reaction was genuine. They not only refunded me immediately, but they also gave me two free future pizzas, just to say they were sorry. The GM, Mike Mercer, is a class-act, and the employees are always accommodating and professional. It was nice to see people care about their customers! The food is great, too, btw. It's the best pizza around.“

“Good people good drinks! Just do it!“

“Stopped here to find a lotus energy drink and got lucky!!! They had a few options to choose from and all sounded very tasty! I got the "Glow Up" Coconut, Blue Raspberry, Blue Lotus Energy Drink with Coconut Milk! Tasted very good!!! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere, lots of tables and chairs. Relaxing, chill space. Lots of cider drinks to choose from as well as some food options. Very clean and tidy and would go here again if I'm in the area!“

“The menu here is just awesome. I think I’ve tried everything and everything is very good, clearly made with care by people who actually eat the food they make. they like big flavors here. The chicken teriyaki is barbecued just the side of blackened with a powerfully flavorful sauce. The sauce has the familiar comforting teriyaki combo of salty sweet and tangy but leans less on the sugar and more on the ginger and slightly more complex flavors. But it’s still definitely teriyaki. The tofu teriyaki is awesome, a crispy fried medium firm slab on top of perfectly cooked rice. Get the deluxe! Mac salad? Yum. Crispy eggroll for texture. Satisfying.

Don’t skip the deluxe fries with kewpie mayo, furikake, and chili crisp my dude.

So teriyaki is associated with being cheap, and this is not really that kind of teriyaki. However, I will say that relative to other dining options on the island, the vibe is great and social, the food is excellent, and to be honest you’re not going to eat out for cheaper on the island pretty much anywhere unless you go to the Thriftway deli (not knocking the Thriftway deli, I love me some chicken strips).

Oh yeah and it’s also a craft beer and craft soda and wine store, I think that’s probably the main point of the place? But obviously you can get amazing selections of beer and wine.

And then right next door is the delightful Vashon Creamery for dessert!“

“Great place to get Korean bar food like Korean fried chicken and creamy udon. Food came out fast, large menu, fun, casual spot, the chicken fried chicken was good, the flavor was good although I’ve had better, it tasted like general tso or sesame chicken, the creamy udon was good too.“

“Impressed with the speed of the pickup service, never have to wait long.“

“Fantastic pizza. So glad to have options.
I was a delicious pizza and perfect crust, just the right thickness and crunch .
Just a feed back. I ordered a large 18 inch pie and it was missing toppings in more that I would expect . But, it was excellent.“

“We had a few fabulous meals, delicious and spectacular! Pork vindaloo marinated in tamarind vinegar, fish and farm-chicken xacuti, crunchy colourful vegetables stewed in coconut milk, and more. Even a mundane ingredient like yellow pumpkin, cooked simply in earthen vessels, tasted complex and exotic. If you ever offer cooking classes, i'd love to learn the basics!“

“I really love this place! I come here at least once a week their pho is so good and the place is so clean and inviting! Highly recommend if you are in the area. Shoutout to the younger gentleman in the front he’s always so friendly and helpful!“

“Joanna was very nice as we arrived and told us immediately it was last call for breakfast prior to switching to lunch so we were able to get our breakfast orders in. This was very nice as some of us wanted breakfast! The service was great, food was excellent and the navel may be one of the best I’ve ever had! She kept us taken care of and we enjoyed sitting here while waiting for our boarding time and eating. Left feeling satisfied and taken care of!“
