Pretty shady. I'm a vet I usually dint get charged a cover. I saw someone not able to walk, stand let alone stay awake, I told 2 different staff because that is a huge violation of over serving patrons like that. Staff kept him in the bar. Also a so called fight broke out and instead of pushing ppl involved outside they pepper sprayed immediately. That was uncalled for. This place is definitely due for fines.
It is illegal to force someone to leave due to a service dog. It’s a private establishment and you can ask anyone to leave for any reason, but not things which are protected by law. You also can’t pepper spray somebody who is standing on the sidewalk, which is owned by the city. By far the most aggressive, escalating staff I have ever seen. Also, security drinks on the job. My attorney, Kevin will be handling this case.
Decent if you can fit the dress code. We did, but considering the bar has the same amenities as others in the area, I don't think a dress code= higher quality goods and services. So if that's a defining factor for you, you won't miss anything specail. I don't know how much they enforce it, just something to be aware of. Earlier in the night it was quiet. We had plenty of space to play giant beer pong. Once the night started picking up, the dj came on. Music choice was 80s-early 2000s pop. Fun for a small group while watching an obscure movie on the TVs. Not sure if that's a thing, but watching "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" was a big mood. Outdoor patio is nice, facilities are mostly clean and stocked. The bartenders kept the bar stocked/clean and had lots of garnishes that looked so tasty! Bartenders were great. Close to other venues so if bar hopping, a solid mid point. We ended up staying much longer than we anticipated, and the bar got busier through the night and the giant pong can get a bit crowded.
This place is absolutely ridiculous. As a 21 year old woman, I was shocked to see that these creeps would let 16-20 year old girls in, but threw out a 40 year old woman because her ID wasn’t valid. I took my wristband off & got my money back so fast. I will never support this business again in my life.
I like going here but the dress code is ridiculous. This isn't a high class establishment and when the clientele is made up of younger people you should get djs that are younger than 65 lol
My place to get a drink, relax and dance...It is the best bar n grill downtown Des Moines!!!!! ????????
I love the guy who works at the front with the beard who always takes my 5$ cover. Anywho nice bar, deff not paying that 20$ cover for the bar on the middle floor.
