Taylor, our server/bartender was so accommodating. We'll be back. It's close to Manning where we live. The Bloody Mary was delicious with a ton of pickle, celery, olives, and pepperacini. Highly recommended as a chill bar and generous pours. Nice deck too.

While in Des Moines talking with the locals, they suggested Carl's Place. They explained that it…read morewas an absolute dive bar, but a great one to visit and one not to pass up while in Des Moines. So, naturally, my friend and I gravitated to Carl's. The outside of the bar isn't labeled, so if you didn't know where it was, you might miss it. We were there at the height of the early afternoon in July and the sun was out in full force. When you walk into the bar, you wouldn't know what time of day or night it is, there aren't any windows to really shine the light through. You definitely get the "dive bar" experience. The bar itself appears a little older, but the patrons and the bartenders were bar none! It was a great bunch of people just there to hang out and enjoy the day. The bar has a small stage that has live music during the weeks. None while we were there, but heard it's pretty good! They had darts and there three different "sections" within the bar. We only had a few drinks but it was well worth the stop! I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Beer City has really stepped up its game!…read more My father in-law is from Remsen and I've been to this hidden gem a handful of times over the years. My last visit was for a large family outing, after a wake. When I was told we'd be going to Beer City-- I was skeptical. But since my last visit it has expanded and it's private dining space is top notch. I could totally see it being a hot spot for graduation parties, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays and more! The pizza was fabulous and the broasted chicken was so darn good. (I don't even like broasted chicken.) Staff was friendly. Pricing was right. Parking isn't really an issue. My only two issues were that Beer City only takes cash or check, and that my kids now have a gambling addiction due to the lotto cards sold here lol. Overall, if you're in Remsen-- you'd be crazy to not go to Beer City.

It's well known this is the worst bar in Ames. The last time I was here, the bartenders decided to…read morestart a little "ice fight" with their bouncer Adam by throwing ice at him. Most of their ice throws missed and hit us, paying customers. I threw some ice back and then the bartenders started whining and said they'd kick us out. Jokes on them; we just left and took our business elsewhere. Short answer here: go to Paddies next door. You will have a better experience, better booze, definitely better bartenders. the bartenders here seem frankly incompetent.

Naturally this isn't a Flying Burrito Bar, it's more of a modern country (songs I don't know bar) but they have a big Johny Cash wall mural by the pool table! The bartender was nice, and filled me in on their other locations in Ames, IA and in St. Petersburg, FL. So this is the 3rd One Night Stand... :) I think if you dig Country tunes, and Cheap beer you will dig this place! They also do Karaoke on Wednesday night! It's a step above Dive bar and I bet Gram Parsons would have no problem drinking some whiskey here!
