39 Best Sports Bars near Des Moines

“I had an amazing experience at Tandoori Slice! I tried the Paneer Tikka Pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy and tasted incredibly fresh. The flavors were balanced so well—nothing was overdone, and every bite had the perfect taste. It was easily one of the best Indian-style pizzas I’ve had.

I also ordered the Alfredo Pasta, and it was just as impressive. It was rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

If you’re anywhere near Des Moines, Washington, I highly recommend stopping by Tandoori Slice. The food is outstanding, and you’ll definitely want to come back again. Highly recommended!“

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

“Stopped in for the first time and had a great experience. The staff was welcoming, the food came out fast, and everything tasted great. The karaoke crowd was a lot of fun, and the DJ kept the night moving with great energy.

I also liked that they have pool tables, darts, and even ping pong, which you don’t see very often. If you’re looking for a laid-back sports bar with plenty to do and tons of TVs for the games, this is definitely worth checking out.“

“Sporty's is one of the few places to get breakfast early in the morning. Their blueberry pancakes are mouthwatering! There's lots of seating and the prices are reasonable. We had a group of a dozen people arrive on a surprise snowy morning, and they had great food. Highly recommended!“

“Came here to watch the USA v Australia FIFA game, first time coming here and could not be happier! Staff is sensational, very attentive and friendly.

Highly recommend, perfect spot for sports and will absolutely be back for future games.“

“great local spot, went, will go again“

“Great live music venue with a neighborhood feel! Excellent sound system managed by talented sound engineers. The staff really treat bands well.“

“This review is specifically for our server Najay! We stop at Twin Peaks every time we're in the area. Good food, cold beer, cool atmosphere, yada yada... When we stopped on 6/24, it seemed like every other server and manager in the place was in a foul mood. We could tell by the look in their eyes and the scowls on their faces that they just didn't want to be there or particularly care about providing service. Except for our server Najay. She was super attentive, friendly, always smiling. We saw her all over the place taking care of tables that weren't even hers. A ray of sunshine in a sea of dismal people. Had this been our first experience with Twin Peaks, we probably wouldn't be back, but Najay saved the day.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“Great service. Jim was friendly and attentive. Food was fresh and high quality. Housemade sauces and pizza crust. Fish and chips were very good, the best I've had in the area. Atmosphere was clean and smelled good. Many TVs. They have the Sunday Ticket during football season. Large selection of pull tabs. Comfortable, sturdy seating.“

“Many Good speedy pool tables“

“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“

“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.“

“Feels like home. Respect gets respect and the beer list is long and well thought out, and happy hour is (to me) the best deal in Renton.“

“Been here a few times, both times I did take out. The host Ashley was super patient and polite, I brought my uncle who was rather confused but Ashley was more than helpful in getting us familiar with the menu. Pick up time and customer service was exceptional, food was also great.“

“Everyone here is so sweet and so awesome. It gives very homey vibe just based on the service. The owners and all bartenders are always so welcoming and it's so nice that they have a claw machine of beanie babies where they donate the winnings to a charity for the holiday season♥️“

“They couldn't get us in at the renton Applebee's. We waited a half hour. Then the told us it would be another hour. So called up the kent Applebee's and spoke to Adrian. She got us in right away. There were 13 of us. The food was great. The service was great. Adrian stopped by and checked on us. I really want to give her a huge shout out. She saved the day. Our server Shanyah was 10 out 10. Thank you to both of them.“

“My family and I have been coming to this TopGolf location for quite a while now and they always exceed our expectations. They have a wide variety of food options, the kids menu is every 5 year old’s dream, and the golf play price is very reasonable. Costs way less than dinner and a movie for much more interactive fun. The past few times we’ve come in, we have requested Natalie as our server and she is fantastic! Very attentive, great with kids, and super friendly. Coming to TopGolf has become a monthly outing for our family and we’ll continue to request Natalie if we can :) Yolina at the front desk was very nice and accommodating as well. Thank you for a great Father’s Day experience!“

“First time here and the amptmoshere here was jamming!! People are really enjoying the Karoke night. As far a food, I read online that the restaurant does Beer Battered Cod. To my disappointment they are not beer battered but Panko breaded and were overcooked and fish was dry. The pieces were large but thin. Fries were good and seemed like they were beer battered, crispy and a good amount. So i dont understand the online menu misguiding The staff was pleasant but never checked back to see how I was? No salt and pepper on tables and it took a minute to get silverware and napkins. Not sure i like the waiter stating they need a CC on file for the food order outside. I paid cash and was shorted change back. i'lll give it one more try buy would love to the Cod Beer Battered. It truly makes a difference. The cook did add 2 extra pieces for a sm extra charge of only $4.“

“The food is terrific here, the people are even better. Always a friendly greeting, always great service. Never had a meal here that I didn't like. Highly recommend for your neighborhood hangout place.“

“Mandy provided exceptional service! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure our entire dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. She checked on us regularly, kept our drinks filled, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out. It's clear she cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. Thank you, Mandy, for making our visit such a great experience—we will definitely be back!“

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

“Trevor was an amazing server. It was about 25 of us and he did an amazing job getting everyone what we needed and in a timely manner. He missed extra napkins but it didn't overshadow all the other request we had as large group. Thank you Trevor!!“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“We ordered for pickup last minute, right before they closed but our order was graciously made and promptly ready with utensils, napkins, & condiments! The burgers are great, especially the burger that has crispy fried onions & BBQ sauce. The Ceasars Salad is terrible but the House Salad was great. The fries are yumm!! The cheesesticks blah!“

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

“This is fun when you want more than just a meal and everybody in your group has a different idea of what counts as a good time. It is very easy to turn a quick stop into a whole evening here because there is always something to do. You go in thinking food first and maybe a couple games and then suddenly it has been two hours and someone is taking air hockey more personally than the situation requires. The mix of food, games, and general chaos works better than it should. That is probably the magic of a place like this. It gives you enough structure that nobody has to make a plan but enough going on that the night does not feel flat. I would absolutely bring the kids here on a energy day, though my son would need a little pregame speech about indoor voice versus arcade excitement and how those are not in fact the same setting. It is the kind of place that can carry a birthday, a casual group outing, or just a random night when nobody wants to sit still. Go when you want dinner plus something to do and do not feel like overthinking it.“

“They food is always amazing, restaurant looks great, but the staff at 375 Grady Way in Rentin Washington were exceptional! Lauren V provided the kind of customer service that we all miss. The manager clearly is doing a great job with this team and it shows. Keep up the great work!“

“Vanessa and Lyla were working when my Mother and I dropped in for a coffee. We ended up getting food also and both ladies,Vanessa and Lyla were absolutely incredible!!! We visited on 5/10/26 at around 10am. I hope these ladies get the kudos they deserve!!! Thank you again both of you!!!“
