Looking for a dive bar in Iowa, we found this little gem. I guess it recently changed over to…read more Notm's. So we gave it a go. Great little place. Karaoke Trivia was the game of the evening. Not too crowded so we won a free drink and a $$ prize. Pool table was also free that night, outside in the transformed garage where there was also a pickle bar court I think. It was raining so I couldn't tell. You can also smoke outside if you choose. The bartender was very nice and the drinks were good. It was our lucky night at Notm's. We will visit again.

I was told they had an amazing cheese steak sandwich. The bread was dry and flakey, the meat was…read moresuper salty, hardly any cheese and don't remember ever really tasting any green peppers or onions. With enough ketchup I was able to hide the salty taste. The side of fries wouldn't have satisfied a 6yr old. A lot of little crinkle cut pieces. I did notice they were hiring for an evening cook. Hopefully that person won't report to the day cook. They had very nice menus. The bartender was nice, I tipped my regular 30% never to go there after again for food after a day of fishing. The atmosphere was local, nice people having beers and watching football. If you're planning on getting drunk I am sure the food would fit perfectly.

Been going to WH since they opened. I have found the service there exceptional, personable, and…read morefun. It is a TouchTunes environment and the quality of music is high level while varying from genre to genre. It is a great summer stop where you can catch some sun on the patio while being a unique winter stop to get that Mid West "locked in for winter appeal".

Thao and Kara welcomed us to our first visit to the Smoking Goat Pub like we were family. We…read morestumbled upon this place through a different channel, and decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did. The atmosphere is a dicey but very clean and the vibe looks like a great time. It was a quiet afternoon but the ladies went out of their way to make us feel like we belonged. This visit was only for a couple of cocktails but we saw some food come from the kitchen and it looked on point! Kara made a tasty treat and shared it with some of at the bar and that sealed the deal! We will be back in to give it a shot. I will update my review on the food after that! See you soon!

The Sriracha seasoning on the outside gives it a nice little kick without being overwhelming. The fries and tots are pretty average, but overall, we always have a great experience here.

I went there hungry for some unhealthy food and thirsty for some Iowa beer. AG did its thang!…read more Loved the Poutine. Loved the PB&J Burger. Liked the beer. Liked our bartender/server and her friendliness . Loved the divey-but-not-too-divey atmosphere. Shout out to their kitchen being open on the later side during the week. It was very hard to find a good meal in this area at 10:00pm on a Monday, but AG came up clutch.

We have been visiting our daughter in Des Moines for several years while she attends college there…read more We drive past here several times each trip and have always wanted to stop. Our last trip we had time so we stopped in. I love the decor and the vibe inside. However, I don't know if our bartender was on a bender or what but we struggled to get service. People who came in after us struggled to get service. The customers at the bar or more attentive than the bartender was. With that being said we give this place another chance and plan to come back on our next visit. I must note that we were just there for drinks. I don't know about the food situation.

I think I found me pot o gold! Yes my name is Patrick so if…read moreyou couldn't tell by the name my Irish roots go all the way back to the Island. I wouldn't call me St. Patrick by any means because as legend says he feared nothing not even death! .. I will say I won't be scared to come back to Kathy's. The bartender was super welcoming, and chatty, He even shook my hand at the end of my visit. He was very attentive to all 10 of us in the bar, all from different walks of life! I was super excited that a guy brought in and set up his daughters girl scout cookies to sell to patrons and yes next thing you know everyone in the bar is sharing a variety of Girl Scout Cookies! Law and Order SVU was on the Tv, William Shatner's Christmas album was on the touch tunes and I enjoyed a lazy Sunday afternoon with a cool crew of folks. The place is cool and has framed photos of famous people with Irish roots.. We ain't just talking Conan, Bono, and Van Morrison we are talking Hitchcock and Detective Benson from Law and Order SVU's mom Jayne Mansfield.. Who I happened to just look up on Wiki to make sure on the spelling of her name and I discovered that Jimi Hendrix played on her music she put out in the 60's... WOW all I can say.. I feel pretty LUCKY to know that and pretty LUCKY to have gone to Kathy's.

We were greeted and sat right. You could tell they were busy and /or short staffed. It took a min to get our drink orders and we had our food selection picked so we put that order in. My husband and I shared a Bloody Mary- it was good and it had a candied bacon on it that was yummy. I got a chicken Cesar wrap with sweet potato fries - both were delicious. My husband got wings with jalapeño creamed corn and buffalo sauce. There are daily specials, valentines specials for food and drinks and tons of things to choose from on the menu. The vibe was definitely fun and it seemed like everyone knew everyone. We will definitely be coming back to try other foods!

One of the young bartenders didn't seem familiar with what a "Bud Heavy" was; I kinda thought this was bog standard terminology.

My friend covered my beer. I still got charged. Beware!
