39 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!“

“Enjoyed my visit to Des Moines and to visit this establishment. It’s a large open plan, clean looks good inside. Bar in the center of the room with a large seating area to the west . Located on the main drag of downtown Des Moines offers great views of Puget sound and the neighborhood. Very decent dining experience. A great place to hang out with friends. If you find yourself in the downtown, Des Moines area definitely stopped in for for an adult beverage and enjoy yourself.“

“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“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch on a busy weekend day on Vashon, but didn't have to wait for a seat. Server was quick and friendly. Good beer selection. Between us we had a chicken sandwich and a burger, both of which were good but nothing to write home about. Good bang for the buck though! Would come again!

“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“

“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.“

“I walked in to numerous employees greeting me. Everyone working here was amazing. Melanie and Morgan really made me feel like the only person in Twin Peaks. The food came out exceptionally fast and is was pretty good. Cloth napkins are a plus in my book. Cold beer, great food and drink specials, plus TVs everywhere made it exactly what I wanted tonight. Keep rockin and doing great job everyone. Slainte✌️😎👍“

“great local spot, went, will go again“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“A big thank you to Samantha at the Renton location for taking such great care of all of our players and coaches. She really goes above and beyond to take care of her customers, and we are so grateful for her help. All our teens are obsessed with Top Golf. So obsessed in fact, that when asked what places they like to hang out at, Top Golf in Renton was at the TOP of all of their lists! And we don't mind because this location (and every location) of Top Golf is a lot of fun. The best part of spending our money here is that we know that Top Golf cares about this community and keeping youth sports affordable. They are so generous about giving back to non-profit youth programs, and we are glad to support such efforts an amazing business that gives back to the community.“

“Yes I would go again Carrie!!!“

“Great bar/pub location. Lots of TVs and pull tabs. Also a couple of pool tables, electronic dart boards, and a few video games.
Service is good. No pressure, but with a good balance of checking in on you.
Food is ok. I just remember when it was better. Cheese fries used to be my go to item...not anymore. Don't get me wrong, the food isn't bad, just not as good as it used to be.“

“Carrie and Kassie, (You're killing me Smalls!) were so much fun while providing great service! Love the selections of beers on tap you typically don't see at other places. We actually learned a few things about how some of the beers were brewed! (Wet vs dry vs fresh hop brewing). The Turkey Melt was delicious and be warned, the Fire Breather burger has some decent heat! I ordered a tequila shot to combat the heat. (No stingy pours on shots either!) Great experience and a good value. We'll be back soon.“

“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 !“

“Many Good speedy pool tables“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars!

Shoutout to Jack—our super fantastic server! Since it was a busy Saturday- he was all over the place servin a bunch of tables but still made us feel genuinely taken care of from start to finish. Big thanks to JC and the restaurant manager for delivering our food in record time—everything was hot and perfect! 🔥

I had the Quesadilla Salad and it was absolutely fire! We couldn’t resist the half-off apps, so you know we inhaled those wonton tacos. The rack of ribs? Slammin’ good! 😋

Jack also hit it out of the park with the dessert reco—that Lava Cake with ice cream was the perfect sweet ending to our night. And let’s not forget… he kept my lemons coming for my water on the rocks all night long! 😂 💧Also, he was super attentive to my 7-year old daughter for every request she made! She was lovin' her bottomless Strawberry Lemonade!

Truly 5-star service across the board. We’ll definitely be back. 🙌“

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“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.“
