Ate lunch on St Patty's Day here. It was super packed because of the parade . If it hadn't been for a wonderful group of regulars in the booth next to the door, we never would have found a seat.

I tried the shepherd pie balls they gave a very good sized portions and they were very rich make sure you share best tasting full stomach I've had in awhile

Enjoy some tunes after your beer . Head on over to Nitefall on the River , located at Simon Estes Amphitheater to see great live music . Slightly Stoopid & Atmosphere perform 8/4.

Fun Scottish bar , dark & moody, as it should be. Great tap beers and a Sporting KC watch house. What's not to love?!

Beware of Dennisio Von Huvenstein he will steal your unfinished drinks and then ask you for cab fare. He is also the 4th street pizza Barron. He secretly loves Pizza Hut.

This is the place you want to be on a cold winter night! Comfort food , scotch , and a new & improved fireplace ... Perfection!

Scotch selection and their rotating taps. Great stop on way out of town .

The hand soap is to die for! Watch out for crazy hobos that broke up with their imaginary friends and want a cigarette.

The place is small but the atmosphere was cozy & the decor fit right in. I loved the British telephone booth !

This is a great place to have few drinks & eat.

Ask for a toasted sourdough bun . Place your chips/fries in it then add ketchup/hp sauce. Congratulations you just made a chip butty!

The Beefeater: half pound burger , roast beef , corned beef , fried onions , and Fuller 's cheese sauce . For the gastronomically adventurous only, but delicious, oh yes.

While at Royal Mile a Boddington's is quite necessary. Spot on!

If you're wanting to watch sports just a heads up they have around 4 24-32 inch TVs you can barely see anything on.. You might want to think twice!

I've enjoyed fish and chips across England & Ireland. The fish and chips here are quite good; easily the best I've had in the States .

Organic apricot cider , it's not on the menu but it's delicious.

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Order a shot of Zwack Unicum, the national aperitif of Hungary, with a beer back. Read more

Well made pub food in a realistic atmosphere

the veggie burger and sauteed vegetables are fantastic!

Good food and great drink selection...they do it right here

The scotched egg is fantastic...unless you have cholesterol problems. Still, probably worth it anyway.

Ask for the Guinness Stew ON TOP OF the mashed potatoes . Amazing!

Try the cucumber salad ...chunky cucumber , cashews and red onion bits. Yummy!!

Two words.....Banger Sauce. I usually special order that with a double order of fries .

Try the shepherd pie balls . Yum!!!! Also, they have the best spinach artichoke dip with toast ...

Arguably the best bar in Des Moines . Pick a mid level scotch at random and enjoy!

Sheppard's pie balls are freaking delicious and such a good deal !

Amazing selection of single malt !

The Guinness sirloin pot pie is the reason I eat here.

Great pub and good food.

If a beer is made in the United Kingdom, The Royal Mile will probably have it. Follow the link for more about the pub : http://dmreg.com/HmtGkR Read more

Great atmosphere, try the shephards pie

Great beer list and apps

Have yourself a Hobgoblin English Ale or an Old Speckled Hen Ale (on tap ) You won't be sorry!

Fish and chips ! Must have.

The Shamrock on my Guinness !

Fish and chips and a Fullers ESB (or tea on lunch )

Upstairs has a brand of vodka called Effen. Flavor black cherry . A must have!!!

There are definately twelve beers available on most weekdays.

Pub food . Draft beer . Scotch

Try the crisp in cider and shepards pie ! Yummy

The grilled duck breast and Guinness stew over mashed potatoes are both phenomenal!

Portions are big. Split or come hungry unless you have a big appetite.

Best fish and chips and shepherds pie balls !
