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.

The cocktails were delicious and not too sweet. The bartender definitely knows what he is doing. He even made a surprise off menu concoction which was really good. We came on a Thursday and I was surprised how empty it was. There was only one other party. Bartender said that on the weekends the line goes around the block. Drinks are reasonably priced compared to other places in the area. There is no food available but you can bring food in. Can't wait to come back!

This place taught me a thing or two about vegetables, which delighted all of our senses, and I highly recommend trying a variety of their small plates. This is worth a few minute detour. If you live here, well then, lucky you! Our servers carefully detailed the menu and let us taste a new wine prior to ordering. The dinner service manager is knowledgeable and passionate about the dining experience. When we ordered the radicchio salad, I was skeptical that it would be bitter, but was curious to try it. My husband and I could have fought over it--it was that good! The cauliflower was roasted perfectly, and sat upon a sweet and spice infused puree called mahummara with crunchy pine nuts. The complexity of spices compelled us to try another bite, and then another... Roasted carrots are tender and sweet. Paired with cool yogurt and chili crunch, they ascend into another level of deliciousness. A tear of fresh bread across bits of remaining sauce, and then (not a minute sooner) "we are satiated, thank you!" and the server can take the plate. The restaurant is adjacent to a theater that shows unique offerings and they will sometimes coordinate events with menus. We liked the simple cafe style tables and openness. Ample parking is available in back.

I was walking around by Old Market and was looking for a casual spot for dinner. It took a bit for…read moreme to find something that didn't look too fancy, so Billy Frogg's came in to save the day. This place is very quirky and dive-y, but I enjoyed the atmosphere. For a Friday night, it was pretty chill with hardly anyone in there. I grabbed a booth by the windows, which made for a perfect people-watching spot. I kept it simple with some chicken tenders, which I enjoyed more than I thought I would! I also loved how they had garlic parm as a dipping sauce option, and it paired perfectly. This is a cool little joint to stop in for some bar food or to grab a beer at.

I looked online to see what the menu was like and it was typical dive bar food. We walked in to an exceedingly dark space. We were trying to find a seat when the bartender asked a question I couldn't hear. Big Bro replied we wanted to eat and have a beer. That's when we found out that despite pictures and menus of food offerings listed online, O'Leaver's does not serve food any more. However, we could eat at the Mexican restaurant next door. So that's what we did. It would be an excellent idea for O'Leaver's to revamp their online presence to reflect the absence of food.

But what really hooked me was the beer garden! It's fully walled in so you can't see it from the street so I would have never guessed! It's awesome back there! Well lit, decorated and full of greenery, tvs, another bar... so perfect! I'm a sucker for outdoor spots so this is on my list now for regular haunts. The bartenders were friendly and easygoing. Prices were normal to cheap.
