    This tiny house is giving Des Monies the vibes it's missing…read more.. On a short layover in Iowa, I was looking for good drinks and food without a lot of waiting or being overcrowded. What I found was a little gem off of one of the main roads in downtown Des Monies. Even before you enter this self described "Tiki Bar" you see all the brick buildings, and then you see an actual grass covered roof...yep that's the place and a really nice touch. The interior is equally cool and spacious, you are greeted by the bar area immediately when you walk in. To your right are comfy couches and instagram friendly neon wall signs, with that signature tiki touch of floral patterns and great lighting. The location is connected to a Asian food restaurant, so they get their food from them as you drink some of the most well crafted adult drinks I've had in a while. I came for happy hour on a Saturday 4:00pm-6:30pm. The drinks were basically 2.00 off with discounted food, the menu is limited to mostly chicken wraps and crab rangoons etc. I will say the portions were filling and very delicious. The star of the show was my El Colmillo, a tequila based drink with lime, orange juice, lime. The bartender did say it's all pre mixed, and that day she subbed the tequila with Casamigos, because the house tequila was out. Customer service was great, until it wasn't. Our server was excellent, until a guy came in off break and they seemed to have some tension. She really didn't have that same positive energy as before, otherwise an overall excellent experience. Pro Tip: Take a walk over to "Hello, Marjorie", it's a completely different vibe but drinks there are just as good...if not better. Go see Travis, he is 10/10 at "Hello, Marjorie".

    Simone is the coolest bartender. She went way above and beyond with her service, up to pulling out…read morea light and taking pictures for me and my friend. They have such a lowkey cool vibe here. This is a great place to pull thru with a group of friends.

    New speakeasy below hotel fort Des Moines. Went here on a Friday night around 9pm. You are led…read moredownstairs where the bar is. The decor was super nice and certainly have a speakeasy vibe. Most of the seating here seemed to be targeted towards large groups so there wasn't a ton of option for a party of 2. We did not have a reservation so there was only 1 high top area that was honestly super uncomfortable. I would recommend making a reservation if you want a chance to sit at one of the lower chair areas. The biggest issue was the service. It took over 20 minutes for anyone to come over and take our drink order. This is a newer spot so I'm hopeful things can improve. It was super loud and not the most inviting space. Some of the seating was a bit awkward with spacing. The drinks were small but I would expect that for a higher end cocktail. For DSM, I did think some of the drinks seemed a bit expensive. The drinks were okay but seemed pretty weak where they were super juice heavy. Overall I would probably not come back unless I had friends who haven't been and wanted to try it. Super bummed as I do think there is potential here but need to work through some of these issues.

    This speakeasy bar is located inside the hotel fort in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. To get there,…read moreyou will enter the coffee bar, once you walk around the bar, you'll see a velvet rope. Somebody will ask you how many people in your party and then open the wall pantry. This will lead to the stair that goes downstairs to the basement. Bar lighting is dim, intimate feel. There's bar seating, high tops, tables that accommodate large parties and VIP room that has a curtain for privacy. We ordered cocktails that were unique crafted. Bathroom is available, hallway of pictures of people dressed in the 1920s all over the wall. We enjoyed this speakeasy bar and will definitely come back with more people.

    This "tiki" bar is located downtown. There is metered street parking available to park. It is…read morereferred to a tiki bar because they serve tiki drinks. It does not look or feel like a tiki bar. It has a Miami bar kind of feel to it, with its bright lights. The bar is located in the center of the place and is in the shape of a square with seating on 3 of its 4 sides. They have a television and it was playing my favorite movie, the Last Dragon, while I was there. They have a decent selection of tropical tiki favorites including daiquiris and a full bar too. The bar tender was very nice, but he was kind of slow and not very attentive. After waiting about 10 minutes at a table I found him at the bar, placed my order and went back to my table where he brought me my drink that I ordered. I was chasing him down the entire night to get my drinks ordered. In learned that it was one of his first night alone, so I am sure that he will get better. I ordered a Pain Killer, a Funky Flamingo and a Pillow Talk. All the drinks were very good. They went down so smooth and were delicious. I will admit that the ice is a bit on the heavy side. Anyway, I believe this is the best option in the city for those searching for tiki drinks. I highly recommend checking this place out. Cheers.

    Call ahead when you're on your way to put your name down if possible because there is always a wait…read more(but it's worth it!) the restaurant is gorgeous. It's dark enough where it's cozy but lit up at the tables really well. The servers have always been so amazing with our groups we've gone with including when we haul the kiddos! Salad bar is a must and I have to encourage getting as much Oreo fluff as your plate will hold ha! The steak de Burgo, Bonnie, or Bugsy are all solid choices (any of their steaks are an amazing pick) don't forget to order the garlic mashed on the side, the loaf of bread they bring to the table is always a nice touch as well. It's not most family friendly in price but there are price ranges for all budgets!

    I've been to the Chicago Speakeasy several times. This time I went with my wife and her son. We…read morearrived early on a Monday night and were seated immediately. Although they have an extensive bar, we all drank water. We ordered the prime rib special, the 14 ounce New York strip, and the 16 ounce ribeye. One thing you definitely notice while you're being seated is the salad bar, and the salad bar was included with all of our meals. My wife's son and I both got in 2 trips to the salad bar before our steaks arrived. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Everyone ordered their food medium rare and everyone got what they wanted. The food looked so good when it came out we forgot to get photos of them all. However, we remembered in time to get a photo of the 16 ounce ribeye. The only downside to the experience was that we were seated in a booth near the kitchen. Every so often, it sounded like something was slammed into the wall from the other side. It was loud enough to startle my wife a couple of times. We were all happily full and also got to take food home. We will definitely be back.
