Bartenders are hot and quick.. love the bouncers but worst djs in West Des Moines. No requests. No rock (..even AC/DC) or country dance .... Bar would be perfect with universal dj ! From Iowa

A great rooftop that’s perfect for a relaxing evening outside with friends. Plenty of beers on tap and a great place to watch the game. © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc

4-cheese mac was AMAZING! Wings were in point. House Margarita - worth skipping. Get a tap beer . Anything would be better. Good service though.

"Oh, you can get 1 order of the reg. wings for more $ but we're not doing the all you can eat anymore".....despite the fact that several people in our group had ordered the wings and did not get them!

A popular after-work location on the west side with a beautiful rooftop patio . From 3 to 7 p.m. enjoy $2.50 wells , $3 import draws and $2.50 domestic bottles . Read more

Great nachos , especially with steak . Had a Meat Lovers pizza with jalapeño & onions . Fantastic!

Make sure to go out on the rooftop ! Great place to go after seeing a comedy show

Dj Eric. Ignores respectful requests. Rock music not allowed with him. Yet awesome bartenders . I'm torn. Get a new dj wells

Patio/rooftop cannot be beaten on a nice night. Solid food and good brew selection.

The tuna wrap and sweet potato fries are surprisingly good for bar food.

If you want to see what a casting call for jersey shore looks like this is the place to be. "sweet tapout shirt bro, you must be a cage fighter!". D-Bag central.

Great sports bar . Friendly staff and good food.

Did you know they have brunch ? Delicious biscuits & gravy , coffee and mimosas

Great place to hit up after work. Grab a beer and apps with co-workers and friends!

Bit of a warehouse , but you can see and be seen. And watch football . And drink beer , so who cares.

Great spot for a quiet , low-key weekend brunch . Open at 11am, not 10am.

The juicy lucy is so so good.

Bottomless wings and wine night !

there are two smoking sections: the north & south railings on the rooftop

mushrooms are awesome

Great patio !

Sit at the bar if you want service it takes 20min to get someone to your table and 10 more to get a beer

Wonderful! Playing gun n roses ! Love to you Wellmans

The cooks love the last bathroom stall!!

Rooftop patio rocks!

Just got kicked to the back of the bus because I was not supposed to be smoking on the roof next to the "general public"

Ask for Brooke Wagner. She's the beat ;)

If you want to hang out with the tool bags of DM, this is the spot.y

Great place for lawyers to meet up and talk about negatively worded tips!

All around great bar

Pay with cash otherwise you might end up with extra charges on your card.

Go to Johnny and ask for Root Beer Floats .

funny how people say don't open a tab as they charged my cc weeks later for something I never bought.. why was ur tab open in first place??? u really didn't this one through when posting lol ..

Pats the best! Shout it from the rooftop !!!!!!!

Service sucks, bathrooms are dirty , and they double charge your card. They refunded the chargers so I'm happy about that. Ps- I didn't have to have an open tab for them to add charges after I had

Don't try and get a beer that tastes good

Good music after 11, cheap beer , great roof!

Just had the best brunch and watching 3 games. Heaven.

Seriously my food came before my beer ...4 different waitresses ignored me for 15 minutes

Expensive. If you were not one of the cool kids in school, you probably won't like it here.

Ask for pat, hes the beesneez

left. I signed my receipt which I left on the bar and kept the copy.

Kitchen never gets your orders right. Burgers taste like mush. And they are terribly under staffed on Sundays. Blt not toasted and hot beer glasses

Awesome place to chill on the patio this summer!

Rooftop access is so VIP

Check out the guy with the crutches

Came for lunch . Not kid friendly at all. Nor was the staff friendly .
