Ambiance is exactly what you'd expect; intimate, petite bar, calming lighting & the cutest little tables whether high tops or lounge type.

Service is always prompt and I've never had a cocktail I didn't enjoy here. For an added bonus; check out Cyclone Liquors selection. Very impressive!

The server was efficient and quickly served me a mug of water. I started with the flamingo, which is a frozen daiquiri. I loved the glass straw and my drink stayed frozen to the last sip. Then I switched it up and got a mocktail. The Karate kid was carrot forward with a hint of ginger and spice. It was all around refreshing. I couldn't leave without taking a picture of the art above the table where I sat. I especially liked, "Be a Good Loser."

There's a nice outdoor patio in the back, plus a couple of tables out front if you want to sit outside. The bartender was really friendly and attentive, and service was quick.

But that was the highlight I was most looking forward to. There wasn't much flavor of anything else, either. Even the chili spice sugar garnish on the rim was lackluster. Pity. Decor was okay, but it smelled kind of sour inside, as if cleaning hadn't been done properly or often. Same with the seating outdoors--dingy, sagging, unkempt. Bar area seemed a bit disorganized, and something sticky was on the outside of my drink that got on my hands right as I received it. Service was friendly but just okay--it wasn't too busy when we arrived, and we still had to wait an incommensurate amount of time for drinks. Overall, not much to impress. Recommend a pass on this place.

Incredible flavors, theming - this is art and storytelling through cocktail. The ice cream on the cake was the sample ice cream flavors we got to sample. I'm not exaggerating to say this was also some of the best ice cream I've ever tasted. I'm legitimately and justifiably upset that I can't buy it anyway to have it again. The atmosphere is fun too, but the cocktails and the obvious time and passion that go into them are the draw. This is not a place where the theming outshines the drinks, I'd be blown away by these offerings even in a brightly-lit Chuck-e-Cheese. I will be back every single time I'm in Des Moines, and I hope it's packed with a waiting list because this kind of artistry deserves to be shared with everyone.

Somewhat nondescript from the street (except for a neon sign), you walk into an office building and wonder if you're in the right place. Yes, yes you are. A hostess greeted us, checked our IDs, and escorted us to a table. The drinks were strong and the service was outstanding. My perimenopausal brain has no recollection of what I ordered, but I came with a mini disco ball charm for keeps! Every time I look at it, I think of Hello, Marjorie. Don't sleep on this place! Highly recommend.

The place has a small town vibe but could easily compete with anything in the Omaha metro. Talked for a bit with the gal that owns it. She was great! So glad to support a women owned business. I had a basic BLT and we shared corn nuggets. Pretty good. Husband had the lunch special, Tater tot casserole. My first thought was "I have the stuff for that in the fridge/freezer at home." Then I remembered that I have indeed not made it. They made it first so we went with that. He loved it! Not your grandma's casserole. The Thursday prime rib sandwich ($15) and Friday and Saturday steak specials ($25-30) will definitely draw us back. Thanks for a great afternoon.
