Good service and fun atmosphere. I didn't know what I wanted to drink, and the bartender made me a creation with raspberry vodka and blueberry red bull (I told him I needed caffeine!) and he threw down some glitter in the drink too. I was with two girlfriends and we each ordered some appetizers and they were all great! I had the fried pickles and they were fabulous (spear cut like fries), and one friend got the banger bites - really tasty with some mustard dipping sauces Our other friend got the chicken tenders and I loved the crunch on them and they have unique sauces for those as well- she had gotten some kind of bbq pineapple sauce for them? Overall great! Glad we stopped there on our way to a show! (Picture posted is my whimsical "unicorn" drink!)

We loved this place. The dog friendly courtyard welcomed friendly dogs. We were traveling through Des Moines from Colorado to Wisconsin and needed a dog friendly restaurant to fill out bellies that day. We were referred to this restaurant by an employee from the El Bait Shop who was NOT DOG FRIENDLY! The food was pretty good. The Reuben Rolls were a little too cheesy, though. The Nicoise salad was the best of all. Oh my, was it amazing! My friend, who is a burger connoisseur loved his burger and fries! Our doggie, Diva was met with a nice bowl of water. We'll be back. This experience really made our day and visit to Des Moines a good one!

My wife & I had a great experience here. It's definitely an English Pub with that type of food but they also have American Food for the less adventurous. I got Scotch Eggs, Banger Bites, & Shepherd's Pie while my wife got the Turkey Club with steak fries & Mozzarella Sticks. It was all fantastic! Our server was incredibly friendly & very helpful which was appreciated since this was our first time here. They had a great pub atmosphere & also a few TV's scattered around to be able to catch the game. We'll definitely be going back!
