21 Best Wine Bars near Des Moines

“Great selection and wonderful staff“

“Fantastic food, vibes and service. Moored here in our boat and looked forward to going there each day. Thanks“

“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.“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“Always great food we go there often for date night😋🤫“

“The owners are the best. Good service and great food.“

“This place is like a french oasis in a business park! What a find. I wasn't familiar with their story or offerings, but my husband's bell had gone off and we needed food, so we popped in here for anything. What we thought would be a quick bite, turned into a lovely early afternoon getting to know the story of this wine shop from a very accomplished and lovely person. Don't let the business park setting fool you, once you walk into Princess & Bear, you are in the south of France.“

“Looking for a nice place and a great wine selection? I was too. Come here….and enjoy your evening.“

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

“Pop Pop Bottle Shop is a fantastic place for craft beer enthusiasts! Their selection of local and unique brews is impressive, offering something for every taste. The staff is super knowledgeable and always ready to recommend something new or hard to find. The laid-back, welcoming atmosphere makes it a great spot to relax and try something different. If you're into discovering great beers in a friendly environment, Pop Pop Bottle Shop is definitely worth a visit!“

“If you are in the mood for elegant, vintage drinks with a whimsical (truly whimsical) twist - look no further - thus is your stop, for a sip - or two, or... We had the Chai Old Fashioned and the Last Word... If the devil is in the details - so are the companions of Bacchus - the REAL maraschino cherry in the Last Word and the massive ice cube in the Old Fashioned confirm how serious thus place is about its drinks reputation. Also, the Cherry and Apricot Salad gave us that so very needed connection with the local farmers' produce, it being a delightfully crispy concoction of bitter radicchio and peppery greens, smoothed by a pungent goat cheese and vanilla balsamic vinaigrette.The bread and the sharp olive oil were especially appreciated with the salad. We love gelato, but ordered the blackberry sorbet and did not regret it since it came with a solid chunk of anise biscotti - an excellent pairing for the double espresso. Our waiter, Troy, made us feel well attended, but not even once did he overdo it.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Great for a quiet evening out or a nice dinner for two. Nice view of the water in the distance. Appetizers were flavorful, although a little overcooked and slightly rubbery. The pasta was wonderful! We had the rigatoni al salmone which was amazing. The smoked salmon was delightful in the garlic cream sauce. The tiramisu made in house was the perfect desert to finish things off. Must visit this wonderful restaurant if you get the chance!“

“Delicious food, great happy hour and such a nice server“

“Great coffee. Friendly service“

“It was our first time here. The place was really cozy with fireplace on for the gloomy weather we had that day. We got seated right away even without reservation. Please double check for lunch or dinner. The breakfast menu is very limited but the few options they have are plenty and delicious. We paired our complete breakfast plate with a bowl of fruit and a croissant and preserves on the side. Overall the place was really serene with nature views. Definitely trying if for lunch or dinner. Well done!“

“Intimate and nice music, good wine too of course.“

“Delicious, gracious and you will even learn some Italian!“

“Bought a $100 gift card for my Father for Christmas. Can't wait for him to tell me about his first experience . My wife and I enjoyed individual flights last night, seated on the vintage looking green valour settee. The Bigger Bodies Reds. Each was amazing and it was a tough choice of which to choose for a glass. New World was the flight my wife enjoyed. Next I had a glass of the Blesoe. Two of our friend couples came so we became six. Each of them enjoyed a flight or glass. The staff was informative,super friendly and hospitable. We will certainly return, great meeting spot and The Spar is across the street;). The only suggestion is filtered water please as the water provided tasted to my wife & I like tap water.“

“As I brew my morning coffee here in Austin, TX—over a year after visiting Caffe Vino Olio—I find myself wishing for a cup of their coffee instead. Despite Seattle’s renowned coffee culture and all the great coffee I enjoyed there, Caffe Vino Olio stands out in my memory. Each morning, as I wait for my coffee to brew, I’m reminded of the smooth, rich flavor and the cozy, welcoming vibe of this charming cafe nestled in the heart of a beautiful island town. Their coffee wasn’t the only highlight—pairing it with one of their fresh, homemade bagels made for a cozy, quiet morning that I hope to return to one day.“

“The place is definitely cute, perfect for date night. Came here for the last night in Seattle. My partner and I were highly satisfied with the food. However the service could have been a bit better. Other than that I would recommend. I’ll say this, by far the best Italian place I’ve tried anywhere. Very authentic 100%.“
