Interesting place! The decor is 80s and 90s decor. Pleasant atmosphere! We tried it during the Saturday Brunch time frame. The service was outstanding and the food was really good. My wife got the Bucket of Mimosas which is a bottle of Champagne with glasses of orange, pineapple, and cranberry juice.

While visiting Iowa we ate here. Fun 80’s retro environment with seating outside which was comfortable. Our newer server did a great job and paid attention to detail. We ordered the Nachos, Chicken Sandwich, Fried Avocado Burger and the Thai Chicken Pizza. All the food was good and it was good portions, however be warned that their style of cooking the Chicken Sandwich is to deep dark fry it. Not my favorite. Flavors were good. Would recommend.

Great little Dive Bar! Nothing wrong with a dive bar just know that when you go. Dont go in and ask for a moscow mule or fancy named seltzer’s! Its a beer and whiskey bar with a limited menu burger/fries & chicken wings. Nothing pretentious about this bar!

Are you kidding me?? This place is a freaking hidden gem that I hope everyone in Iowa and beyond has the chance to discover!! They were so welcoming when we walked in, the service was absolutely above and beyond amazing! The food was incredible! The salsa verde for starters was top notch! We had the fried avocado burger and the best dam chicken sandwich. Both were so flavorful and incredible! They have a top notch menu and a very talented kitchen staff! The environment was clean and so fun! 80’s and 90’s music and vibes! We will absolutely be back!!

The food was great! I had the Best Dam Chick Sandwich which was flavorful and tasty. The serverice was great! The only complaint that I have was the music was a bit too loud. We had a party of 7 and it was hard to have conversations around the table.

We love The Dam Pub. Not only is the rooftop patio one of the best vibes in Des Moines but the service and food are always great . If you are looking for a fun place with affordable prices this is it. The actually have 3 outside patios but the bar is huge and also a fun place to hang out.

Great neighborhood spot in Beaverdale with a focus on ‘80s and ‘90s music and theme. Local beers on tap and good food. I enjoyed the 1/2 order of nachos which was a huge portion and the open faced beef sandwich with red mashed potatoes. Delicious and above expectations. Bartenders Irving and rest of staff did a great job serving and being friendly. I will be back.

We came in for dinner on a Sunday early evening and had a good experience. The food was really tasty and our server was great. I felt like the food portions were generous for the price and the 80s/90s vibe was on par. They have a special for food and drinks every day, so I went with half price Sunday sangria. We sat inside, but they have a fairly large space for being in Beaverdale, and a nice outdoor patio area. Glad we live in the neighborhood as we’ll definitely be back!
