Revival House was one of the most unique cocktail bars I visited in Des Moines! Hidden in downtown,…read morethis tiki-themed bar feels like you've stepped into a tropical oasis with bamboo accents, colorful lighting, and fun vintage-inspired décor. The cocktail menu is full of creative tropical drinks, and the atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out! It's cozy, immersive, and the perfect spot for a date night, catching up with friends, or starting an evening downtown. We went on a mini road trip to Des Moines from Kansas City and this was the first spot we visited! Every corner has its own personality, making it just as fun to look around as it is to sip your drink. If you're looking for a cocktail bar that's a little different from the norm, Revival House is definitely worth adding to your Des Moines itinerary.

I had an old fashioned and regular vodka martinis. The food menu there was the same dinner menu from Committee Chophouse. Recommend getting the crab cakes to go with the drinks. Would return just to see that tree again lol

Hors d'oeuvres were a bit pricey but have to say the blackberry compote on the cheese plate was delicious!!

I love the 60s/70s vibe! The drinks were great and we enjoyed the jazz band, no cover charge, which…read morewas a nice bonus. It had been a few years since I'd last visited, mostly because of the construction and parking hassles in Blackstone, but the new parking structure makes it so much easier now. It had actually been long enough that I didn't even realize they'd added on. I think it's only open on weekends, but it's a great addition to the space.

The host was very friendly and answered all of my questions while we waited to be seated inside the bar area. Upon Entry the ambiance was dim lighting and very whimsical. For me the seats are very uncomfortable and low. I really didn't like that. No back support unless you sit on the side against the wall but you are really close to other customers. It's a pretty tight nit spot. Drinks are very pretty and many options to choose from. This would be a place to go to just for the experience not necessarily for the drinks.

The venue…read moreis beautifully decorated, great for business meetings or dates - cozy, yet nicely lit and decorated nicely. Drink list is nice.... Their assortment of spirits was decent, though I asked about Chartreuse and they had none. They did know about other popular, yet obscure cocktails. They batch their old fashioned and those in my party who got it loved it... evidently they "batch" it because it helps meld the flavors. Overall - Nice spot! Definitely would suggest to give a try for yourself!

There was only 1 bartender when we went so you might have to wait a bit for drinks if it's busy so come patient. We tried the Sleigh Queen and Grinch Face. Both were good but very sugary (warning if that's not your thing). Fun spot to pop into for a drink! Blackstone parking isn't fun but the new parking garage just opened so should be a bit easier now!

Attended the Harry Potter pop up and was admittedly a little underwhelmed. Based on some of the…read morecontent online it looked like it was going to be much more heavily themed than it was. Also, there was some sort of "mystery leak" coming from a back room that was spreading onto the floor and starting to flood the carpet in the one seating area in the back. Overall just wasn't somewhere that I feel compelled to go back to but maybe check it out once for yourself?

My drink 'It's Not My Bedtime Yet' was a yummy espresso martini in a great glass. The bar itself is beautiful. It looks like they do lots of events, live music, and themed nights. The hours were a little confusing and opened at a different time than stated, but it was worth the wait. Our server made up for it- she was super cool

But another bartender did show up in time for stand up comedy, which was good because it got BUSY! There is an outdoor patio on the back which I had 0 idea about! It was all very updated, very bright inside, lots of seating I felt for the smaller space, tables, couches, seats at the bar, etc for both bigger and smaller groups! Bathrooms were clean and upkept! Parking is tricky, I didn't find a parking lot, so you will have to take your chances parking out front on the street down Leavenworth!

The prices are pretty high, which is my only complaint. Everything is very fancy, but paying $12-$14+ for a mocktail does not make me want to order a second.

Besides this great Norwegian mountain trout and the creamy crème brûlée we had a couple sides one being mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were very creamy, savory and easy to dig into.

I believe there's something here for everyone to enjoy. They were fully decorated for Saint Pats Day and are going on one year planning a party to celebrate in May.

It was the perfect setting for my bestie and I to take cute photos together, sip pretty drinks, and chat. The bartenders were helpful and attentive, but we opted for mocktails which were not very impressive. They seemed to be pineapple juice and maybe water, so we did not finish them. Next time I would like to try one of their cocktails instead. Overall, we still had a great time and I would like to try some more options on the menu.
