    My next drink is on its way! Love this place!
    Lea M.

    Love this dive bar. Never a stranger. It's now called Carney Tap (not sure why you would change your already awesome name!), for about 3 years at least. Great atmosphere, TVs for watching the Cubbies play, good prices, and amazing wait staff. Personal top 10 places to go for drinks.

    Saw a review that they are cash only, that's no longer the case. Nice small place, good vibe. It's a local spot.

    Had a bar crawl night checking out Des Moines area strip clubs, and stopped into Outer Limits. I'm…read morenot a drinker so I didn't check out the bar - I was strictly there for the ladies. Only a four dollar cover. It was after midnight, but there were a fair number of dancers, half were Black and half were white. They ranged in appearance from incredibly beautiful to below average. All were really nice and working hard like the rent was due. I received two dances from two lovely ladies and they definitely made me want to return. I got more than my money's worth. MINX Show Palace missed out on my money as they don't let ladies in without a male escort. My wife and I are so flaming, fruity, gay gay gay gay gay big gay. Definitely follow the rules and the dancers' boundaries; I saw a guy get kicked out for touching a dancer after she told him not to. The only negatives to the place for me was the subpar sound system, poor song choices for the ladies to dance to, and it's a fairly small bar - the stage is two-thirds of the bar.

    From the outside this establishment looks like a typical neighborhood bar but when I entered this…read morebuilding I was actually impressed with the nice setting. They had pool tables Wich is a plus for me and a few areas for private lap dances. The dancers here look very good and are very nice, even easy to have a convo as well. The selection of drinks were pretty nice too. Overall this place is very nice and worth checking out if you ever visit Des Moines.

    We went to Boulder Tap House in Ankeny with a party of five and a half -- Kim and I, three of my…read morekids, and my one-month-old granddaughter. We sat at a high top with a bench, and it actually worked really well for having the baby with us. Drinks and waters came out efficiently, and our waitress was kind and courteous. The food did take a little while, but everything came out together, which I appreciate with a larger table. My fries were room temperature when they arrived, but they quickly replaced them with piping hot ones, so no real complaint there. Our table had a good mix: the Pulled Pork Sandwich for $12.99, Crispy Chicken Wrap for $14.99, Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos for $14.99, BTH Classic Smash Burger for $14.99, and a medium order of house-made boneless wings for $16.99. No one complained, which is usually a pretty good sign with our crew. The restaurant was clean, fairly busy, and all the staff we interacted with were friendly. Drink prices seemed reasonable too. We were also able to hang out and visit for quite a while without feeling rushed, which made it a really nice family stop. It is close to home, the food was good, and my daughter picked up the bill for Father's Day, so that made it taste even better. We will definitely be back.

    Food was good, service was amazing and it was very quiet, we were there on a Tuesday…read moreafternoon...the music was great!
