Just another sports bar.We had the buffet breakfast one morning, one of the first people there and the food was cold. Then later that evening, they couldn’t accommodate our group of 12. Then We had supper there one evening and the food was tasty, the overall wait staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall it was good. Thank you for taking the time to post a review on your experience with us. We apologize for the cold buffet food and will pass your comments on to our culinary team. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the tasty food and friendly staff. Bri ForsSocial Media Coordinator

Stopped in around 7:30 on a Sunday evening, the place was almost empty. Was seated at a table, had a little difficulty getting there as a family had a baby in a very large carrier placed at the end of their table. I have nothing against that situation, but it took up a lot of space and endangered the baby when people passed by, the Host should have seated me where I did not have to brush against a baby’s holder to get to my table. When the Server arrived he collapsed on the side of the booth, draping himself along the top of the partition. He seemed to have little understanding of the beers on tap. When I ordered my burger he explained that I could have it “Pink or not Pink”, I choose “Pink”, as it turned out it did not matter. What I received was a dried up and thickly charred disk of what might, at some time have been “meat”. I had not wanted fries, instead ordered a side salad, I received both the salad and the fries, what a waste of product! When the food was delivered the young ladies tried to serve it to a table who had finished their meal and was getting ip to leave, that was the only other table present. After I finished my meal the Server returned, explaining that his absence was because he went to Walmart, but had asked “the others” to take care of me. Obviously there were no Managers evident during my visit.

Came here solely because of the TripAdvisor and Open table. This brewery didn’t disappoint and the food was exceptional. The curds were a good starter and had the Chicken sandwich which was perfect. If back in DM in the future would like to come stop back again.

Was in town for Navy business, so made a rushed visit and sat at the bar for a quick late breakfast. Packed place and each person I spoke to swore by the place. Both indoor and outdoor seating next to the river. I had the breakfast burrito, which was amazing. Other peoples's food and drinks looked great, too. I'd say of 10 restaurants I went to on that trip, add this to the top three if you like fun.

High Life Lounge

Sort of an "off the beaten path" location and throwback atmosphere BUT outstanding place to go and feel "cozy".

Reviewed By beverlys271

We were in Des Moines for another doctor appointment. We were looking to try some place new to eat lunch. We all decided to try the High Life Lounge. The decor is old school, which is so cool. Brought good old memories back. The food is outstanding, and you should bring backup. You really get your money’s worth here. We ordered Onion Rings for an appetizer. They are lightly breaded and fired perfectly. My hubby ordered the smothered burrito, it is huge, but he dived into it and almost made it through the entire meal. Big Brother ordered the Chicken Pot Pie. It was huge and smothered in gravy. He almost made it through. I ordered the Chicken Wings. I got nine huge wings fried to perfection, served with Ranch Dressing. I had to bring some with me. They were even better cold. Service was fantastic, the server was very nice. This is definitely a place that will require a Roadtrip on the bikes this summer. They have a great beer selection. If you are looking for good food, reasonably priced, then this is the place to go. Be hungry when you go.

Hessen Haus

Reviewed By Kevin R

While I gather this is a generally great place for German food (came recommended at the hotel where I stayed), it happened to be Oktoberfest when I walked over! The street in front of the restaurant was blocked off. The restaurant itself was extremely crowded and loud -- no surprise given the ongoing celebration! The staff was all dressed in traditional German garb. While it was a fun time, I'd perhaps recommend going there during a quiet, normal time!

This British/Irish/Scottish pub looks like the real thing (I was in England last fall). The drinks and menu are nice; the food is good. If you want to step out and feel as if you walked into another country, this is the place.

El Bait Shop

Reviewed By nailuj110

For craft beer lovers, elBait shop is the place for you. With 262 beers on tap. Every thing from light-easy drinking to dark- roasted creamy beers, & everything in between. They carry beers from all over the US. The bar staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. (As you would expect when your serving such an extensive selection.) There beer menu is updated weekly, with the taps changing on a regular basis. If your not into road tripping to hunt down craft breweries. This is the place to go.

Went for dinner on a Friday around 6pm, place was packed. Nearly impossible to walk up to the bar to get beers...at least nearly impossible to get noticed. The standing around the bar tab couldn't be rolled into my dinner ticket, so ended waiting a long time for someone to take my card...twice....that sucked.On a different note, the meatloaf sandwich was recommended and was very good.

Social - Eats And Crafts

Reviewed By sophieollie

On the outside, this place is great! Cool facility, lots of craft beers on tap, and an impressive-looking menu. The menu is pricey, but would be worth it if the food was as delicious as the menu would lead you to believe. It is not. The salads are certainly not work $9--they are basically a plate of lettuce, canned fruit with a tiny chicken breast. The sandwiches are not fresh at all--they seem to have been made in advance and left to dry out. Over all, the food is terrible. The service is slow and the servers/bartenders are not very friendly. This place could do so much better.
