20 Best Sports Bars in Des Moines

“This restaurant notified us, after we ordered online for delivery, that they believed our driver took our order. They called to tell us that before we even had a chance to believe there was a problem, and fully communicated what the issue was. They remade our order and it was delivered less than a half hour after they discovered the issue. Superior customer service. Highly recommend.“

“We had our Holiday party there on Saturday January 20th. The food was good, and the staff was excellent.“

“We had an amazing time at Francies. The food was amazing. I had the steak and peppers sandwich and fries. The fries were so good.“

“Just a great bar, we meet our son there when we’re in town.“

“Bears fans need to come and watch a game“

“I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! It appears they have their do no recommend set so that your post cannot publish. Called this morning to let the staff know we were going with a group of 12 and they said that would not be a problem. In an hour our group received water and a drink order placed but never got it. The same server continued to wait on other tables, make drinks for other tables and made no effort or hurry to make ours or come back to take our order. In addition, the bartender continued to walk around and socialize rather than makes drinks. We even wrote down our whole order and patiently waited for her to come back to make it easy for her. This is the second that we have attempted to come to your establishment with the same results.“

“It definitely has changed from when I have been there years ago, but it's definitely for the better. Whe. You walk in its nice and open on the right to have conversations you can hear and pool tables on the right. It now has a jukebox (it's what I still call it) and no longer a stage. You can tell that business is not as busy since the changes, hopefully it picks back up for whoever the brave bar owner is. The bar staff ,she was happy,honest and just plain people's, with drinks with perfect mixtures, that make you feel relaxed and at home.“

“darts, drinks, food and fun“

“Best music,wanted a bar that made u feel in ur 20's again. and wanna just dance lol,yet without too many people and it's small,but very nice abdyet has everything a big bar would have for entertainment:great music,pool tables,pinball machines,darts,etc!( Plus I have to mention the nice staff,as well as super friendly people who end up conversing with!)“

“What a fun place! Next time we will try a escape room. Need more bathrooms. Had a great time!“

“Very amazing family night tonight! We had a family of 9 and they got us in to eat right away, great food, great prices, fun for all! Bowling prices were also very reasonable! Will be back soon! Thank you to the amazing team!“

“Love the bar, free pool on Sundays, weekly specials, and friendly bartender. The reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is because the dj sucks. He takes a lot of smoke break, his mic smells like stale cigarettes, he sings the longest songs taking away time from the customers that are there to sing, and his equipment needs better sound quality. It drowns out the singer. So other than needing a new dj I say it’s a great place to visit!“

“Stopped in for the first time today. I’m happy to have a good breakfast place on Ingersoll. The food was good and staff was super nice. Will be back for sure.“

“Great place to go for any kind of night out. Good drinks and even better service.
However; I noticed the tablets you pay on only offer up to 5% suggested tip. I’m hoping this is a mistake overlooked by management bc their servers deserve those numbers to say 18%, 20%, and 22%“

“Applebees is an occasional guilty pleasure and this one was no different. The fries were great, the dragon fruit n/a margarita was very sweet, and the service was perfect. Lily, our server, did a great job, was conversational, and took my allergies very seriously.“

“Events during the week are great! Fun bartenders, local patrons and all around great time!“

“The Punching Pandas ROCK! From the energy, to the song selection - to the horn section- these guys bring it! They are guaranteed make every show they play one big party. Once again- THEY ROCK! 🤘😎“

“5/5 stars! We had an incredible dinner tonight, largely thanks to our server, JR. He was attentive, made sure our drinks never ran empty, and gave us the best service in the house. He made our night out fantastic—ask for JR when you visit!“

“They were the selected food vendor for the Junior Olympics Swimming so I can't rate the atmosphere since it was at a pool.

I had the pulled pork sandwich which was delicious and I was surprised by the guy working with the bacon wrapped ribs. I feel like the warmer kept cooking ribs so they didn't have that pow one would expect, they were still delicious though. I wish I would have visited their brick & mortar location to try more stuff.“

“Hi always come here when I want to go to a sports bar when I am in town. Especially since it is relatively convenient to where I normally stay at the Holiday Inn. But nothing really special to say about it, except it's got lots of televisions, and it is a regular sports bar with lots of seating, and it gets crowded when there's a game that people in Des Moines are interested in. I just wish that they had PBR on tap, or maybe the High Life“
