40 Best Sports Bars near Des Moines

“Just finished a big hike and am staying at a hotel before flying out and decided to give this a try. I.do.not.regret.it.

The chicken tandoori pizza was a fantastic example of creative fusion. My buddy and I destroyed a large in 10 minutes.

Wish I was in town another night to try a different pizza!“

“This place is rad. It’s my friends and my favorite local stop. Great service and the food is way better than typical bar food. Lots of things to do like pool and darts and tons on tvs to tune into. Love the bartenders and honestly their salads and nachos are so good. Tons of room to sit too and so far pretty darn clean too.“

“Cool place with nice people, cold beer and great food.“

“Pull tabs…. WATCH your favorite sports team SEATTLE SPORTS TEAMS…STAFF IS AWESOME and well liked. Fast friendly…… GO MARINERS“

“Very relaxing spot. Its nice to have a bar you can really chill at. I dig it.“

“I was there for darts, and it was a little awkward until i ordered a drink! The service was great! I think my bartender was ¿Caitlyn¿ I don't know how to spell her name, but her and the tall white dude were very attentive even while they were busy! Dart boards are well taken care of also. Dartlive2, btw.

“love this place! Great food and drinks!“

“Good little sports bar. The bartender was on it with the service, greeting us right away upon entry. The totchos were awesome. Nothing inherently wrong with the food, perhaps a bit messy but that's what makes it sports bar food!! Only reason for four stars is not as much selection as a couple other local sports bars“

“We were staying in Vashon and came in here for breakfast. This place was busy on a Sunday morning with just two women running the front area. Our waitress was really nice but she was running around non-stop doing everything. We had to flag her down a few times.

The dishes had good portions. I ordered the classic egg plate and the sausage patties were a bit too salty. My friend ordered the pancake plate and they loved it. Said it was really fluffy and delicious. Another friend ordered their omelet and that was huge too. He also enjoyed his meal.“

“The food was great. Hubby said best wings he’s ever had. Cheese bites are bomb.
The restaurant wasn’t very busy but we waited for a very long time to actually be served after being seated. Then once food was finally ordered our waitress never came back until the very end of our dinner to ask if we wanted refills & take our trays. My fried pickles were super flimsy not crunch at all which was a bummer since they’re my favorite. After waiting a long time to pay out, At that point we were done so we just passed on refills and headed out.“

“Coo lil local bar to grab drinks at. I have a great time every time. However most of the times I have been it seemed really busy but the staff was always friendly and as attentive as possible. Food is pretty decent and the DJ is always on point. They also have karaoke from time to time“

“Great casual vibe and incredibly friendly staff! Food was really good (I highly recommend the street tacos) and the beer suggestions were on point! 5/5“

“Hands down the best bar I have ever been. I do allot of traveling and have never been to a place like CLASSICS. I just went in on a whim after spending the day on the Cedar River. Have returned ever since. When I went in the place it was packed. One bartender (Slim) handling food orders drinks and pull tabs all by herself, with a smile and very welcoming. (Never whined or complained like most bartenders these days) She asked me and my boyfriend our names, and the second time we showed she welcomed us remembering our names 3 weeks later. She has a special bond with ALL her customers. She has created a awesome atmosphere. Her Daughter's work there too, and are just like their mom, very polite and give a very welcoming atmosphere. If you want good food, service and a place to enjoy. I garuntee you will return to CLASSICS just like I have!!! Slim is awesome can't say anything more.“

“I have been here on a business trip for a week and had dinner here 7 days in a row They have a great beer selection and great food selection Everyday another choice and all were excellent and great service Best pizza, great tasting soups,, hamburgers, pasta, seafood, breakfast. I had a veggie pizza with chicken, amazing. All great.“

“the juicy Lucy is great. cold beer. great atmosphere“

“This review is during a slow time with no crowd or wait. My wife and I got the jalapeño poppers and bang pow shrimp. The jalapeño poppers were great. Stuffed with melted white cheddar and dipped in a corn dog batter. The shrimp were large and crispy. The flavors of both items impressed us. We will be back for sure. More people need to write reviews of this place. There’s only 1 at the time I’m writing this and I almost didn’t come here based on that. I’m glad I did.“

“This is a great sports bar/restaurant. The breakfast sandwich is delicious; however, they don't open until 10:30. I'm a fan of the reuben, as well. Their chips and salsa are the best around, serving fresh, warm chips and spicy salsa. And the salads are tasty, too. Don't be discouraged if the parking lot looks full: there is a large lot for additional parking in back.“

“great local spot, went, will go again“

“Decent music venue only Spent 14 bucks on Nachos that had chips that were old and stale. Wasn’t edible, worst I’ve ever seen. Hard to believe anyone could fail making Nachos.“

“I love this place and the new owners make it even better. Good food, local fun and good drink prices, steak night Friday is hard to beat for the value for sure.“

“Yes I would go again Carrie!!!“

“We (Myself, my partner and our trivia group) went here on a Thursday for trivia. We normally go somewhere else but wanted to give this place a try. The service was great for the most part. The bartenders were quick and efficient but the one lonely server was running her ass off. She forgot to put one of our food orders but they ended up taking a couple things off the tab and made up for it. We didn't ask them to, they just did it which was super cool.
There isn't much parking so just drive around downtown till you find something.
Inside there's a couple pool tables, darts, high top tables and low tables. For trivia night (Thursday), good luck getting a table, period. The happy hour is 4pm to 7pm and definitely worth it. They don't take reservations, I asked.
Overall, great place for a beer and a cheap happy hour burger. The fried pickles are delicious too. Just don't expect to get a table or nearby parking.“

“We love the ribs on Wednesday but last time they were a little to spicy for us. But as usual we always have a great time there. Love the staff!“

“Our favorite neighborhood bar. The staff is excellent and Dan hosts great Monday Night Trivia. They have amazing bands on the regular. A+!“

“Great venue, fab music and fantastic hosts.“

“Since they have new owners this place is legit good.
Stop by here for first time tonight with friends. Fun place with music, pool, darts, and poker for customers. Food was fabulous and lots of vibes for all of us. For sure would visit again !“

“Been here twice, last year & this year for my husband's Christmas party! So much fun, great food & drink choices. Wonderful staff, polite & courteous! Both times were a great experience! Love the couches, stools and tables, beautiful facility!“

“Great food, service, people! Neisha mixes great drinks! Recommend!The wings!“

“Love this bar! Great owners and staff!! Dart tournaments every Friday night!“

“Many Good speedy pool tables“

“Spent a few hours here with friends for a birthday. Very nice place, very chill and relaxed. You kinda have to order everything yourself from the bar but that's ok. We had some problems with the simulator freezing and didn't get to start when we should of. I felt like we didn't get the full time for golfing. You can play pool too. Overall a very good time and experience.“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“I don't know. I feel like Applebee's gets a bad rap. But, especially with this location, I've never been let down. The food is good, always made well, and the consistency of quality is top notch. Also, with food prices soaring, Applebee's is somehow cheaper than fast food now. I really like Applebee's.

We always sit at the bar, and nearly always have the same bartender. She is amazing!“

“Jessica was a literal angel - we went in 9 minutes before close (yikes!) and she refused to except any of our apologies. Our food was out in literal minutes and we escaped ASAP so they could close. Service was amazing and the kitchen was bomb af. Definitely order the wonton tacos. 10/10“

“We went Sunday afternoon. We were greeted promptly at the door. The restaurant is clean and everyone we encountered was friendly. Our server was Shaileen. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, snd attentive. She provided outstanding service. I have been served by her in the past and was happy to see she was our server this time as well! The food and drinks were good. We will be back!“

“I was there to day and a man went in to the women's bathroom with a bunch of kids in there and I called him out of the bathroom and the manger and security protected him and said I was in the wrong and that he could us the bathroom. there was a family bathroom he could have used. this dave in buster is messed up in it's believe and anyone who supports this is messed up to. there was a women who took her son in to the family bathroom and he was five. this is how it should be. no MAN SHOULDN'T GO IN TO THE GIRLS BATHROOM PERIOD. SO I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS DAVE AND BUSTER AGAIN.“

“I googled Burnett's Pub to check the open time and it showed a permanent closed notification. Does anyone know if this is true?“

“I have a Applebees near me, but instead I drive over 30 minutes to this location each time I want some Applebees, The energy of the team at federal way is unmatched! I’m not sure how she spells her name but I’ll do my best.. The hostess Anaya is so sweet and she immediately greets you with a warm, welcoming smile as soon as you walk in and has no problem helping with any questions you may have! Carlos our server was super busy and still managed to accommodate to everyone’s needs, get drinks and food out quickly and was positive with a big smile the entire visit! Did not sit in the bar but we did order a drink! I think the bartenders name was Jen she was amazing! Jen got our drinks out super quick even with the bar full, the drinks were heavenly she definitely knows what she’s doing! I spoke to two of the managers on shift as they were going from table to table to check on guests. Jerry and Michelle were wonderful and you see them on the floor whether it’s the front of house or back they are always staying busy and helping everyone. I would like to shout out the entire team and store! Every visit is an amazing experience!“

“Staff needs work on customer service. Most are slow and inattentive. They need to pay more attention to the tables, menu and the overall cleanliness. I found macaroni on my seat last time I visited. The pretzel appetizer is my recommendation.“
