Carl's Place

Best dive bar in des Moines. Not for the weak suburbanites, however. Stick to west Glen if you want a "classy " bar . Tip your bartenders well and you'll get better service. Duh.

Awesome, relaxed place! Just remember not to smoke out in the front. The neighbors like the noise.

Hole in the wall , but great. Neat, up and coming area of the city .

Many mustaches and comforts of home at this neighborhood bar (like a crock pot, cooler). You can wear slippers, but that doesn't mean you should. http://dmreg.co/A7IcFT Read more

Best bar in town !!!! Wonderful random fun crowd. Jimmy, one of the owners, is awesome huggable Tigger:]

So if you're not s regular they give you the stank eye and treat you like shit. Great business...

Go on Thursday or Friday night and tell Scott (the bartender ) Lance sent ya

Amazing bartenders , acceptable bathrooms . The mens is ladies friendly . Best bar . You should go elsewhere.

Great neighborhood dive bar !

Go on Monday nights during football season for free chili .

One of the best bars in town . But watch out if you order a pizza , it is really hot. Burnt my tongue

A Des Moines institution. This place is a hidden gem .

Tip big. Treat my boys well .

Them balls are HOT! Careful now.

If they have donation chili , get in the game son.

Great dive bar !

The Sherman Hill neighborhood is nice. This place isn't. Why give the owners of this place to keep a dump like this going in a neighborhood that deserves much better. Being a dive isn't cute here.

Is there a better dive in DSM?!? If ya haven't been.... You're dumb.

The balls are meaty.

My favorite bar in the whole world....

The Cheers of Shermin Hill .

Hang out at Carl's and play some darts ...or carve your name on...well , anything

Look for the FOOOOOOD

This place is like the party from the movie Super Bad.

Darts . Love the darts here.

Don't use their bathrooms . They'd prefer you to pee on the floor.
