Our first visit to celebrate a birthday and couldn’t be happier. A Monday night dinner that was so delicious! Steak was so tender, the servings were plentiful and my favorite was definitely the crispy sweet potato fries! Loved that my daughter could get a chicken salad on the kids menu! The atmosphere with all of the tvs surrounding each booth was wonderful. The Christmas lights added such a cozy touch too! We will be back!

First time here. New sports pub, plenty of tvs. Was a little loud, but to be expected. Food and drink was excellent. A little on the pricey side. We loved our macaroni n cheese and jalapeno popper burgers. We had chicken nachos which were a little messy but taste was great. For my taste the beer selection could be expanded for more crafts. Service was great and attentive.

Went on a Wednesday night, place was a little short staffed. Only one server and he had at least one table with 10plus people. That being said the food was amazing! Some of the best food I have ever had period! The place is a little pricey compared to other sports bars, but don’t let the decor fool you this is a high end restaurant masquerading as a sports bar! If you don’t mind paying a little extra for great food, your not in a huge hurry, and you like sports and music and drinks you will be in heaven!

Although the waitress did comp a round of drinks, the service was poor. The waitress was also the bartender and was too busy. The chicken parm came with a small breast cut in 2 pieces to make it 2 breasts. The sauce was terrible. For the prices, wr expected much more. One plate came out and the onion rings and the sandwich was all cold. Really cold.

My friends and I tried this place out for lunch the other day. It wasn’t packed and our server was prompt and attentive. The food sounded great on the menu. I ordered the jalapeno popper burger. I was excited. The burder was dry and the overall flavor was just alright. It didn’t make me say wow. But the price of this burger was for a burger that makes you say WOW. And that’s why I won’t be back.

This place is great. Friendly staff and the Moscow mules are awesome. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a great sports bar to go to with friends. There’s a lot of new sports bars that pop in Des Moines all the time and this is easily one of the best new ones I’ve been to. Most of the new ones aren’t very good, but this one is different. Will be coming back.
