...or those that know the area:
What are your favorite places to go out?
If I'm staying close to home, I enjoy Zimm's or GT's. Downtown, I like Raccoon River, and The Royal Mile/Red Monk.
I used to go Front Row all the time, but haven't been there in a grip. I don't enjoy too much in West Des Moines....

I like the bars you said, Wellman's, Royal Mile, Bait Shop/High Life, Hessen Haus, AK O'Connors, Hugh's Jungle Room, Front Row. Good thread though, I was just thinking to myself how I don't really go out too much in Des Moines and would like to check out some new bars. I'm sure our tastes are pretty similar to what makes a bar a good bar. If you aren't doing anything tonight we should go to one of the spots on Ingersoll.

I'm not a big fan of Wellman's unless it's summer and the outside porch area is open. I prefer Zimm's and playing shuffleboard.
I might be up for going out, though.
What did you think of the Underground?

I like Spencer's Tap off of 68th in West Des Moines. The two guys that run the place are top notch fellas.
Its a great place to watch the game. As well as a wonderful place to socialize.

What did you think of the Underground? I thought it was pretty decent, not great, but not bad at all. I was liking the music that the dudes were playing. It could have been a little busier, a few more women too. Here is one thing I DON"T like about Des Moines though; that would be the trendy bars with one word names full of hot, but dumb bitches and douchenozzles. Examples: Aura, Drink, Cabaret, Tonic plus all of the restaruants with trendy names like Glaze, Splash, etc. etc. I don't know why but it just sounds uber douchey. And Stu, you need to get out a little more, just sayin'. |

Splash has fantastic seafood...it's a little pricey though.

Uncle Bucks is pretty good! If you like dive bars, Waveland is good too. I like: Zimms, Joes Pub, The Boathouse, Omalleys, Yankee Clipper, Front Row, Royal Mile, AK Oconners, The Longest Yard, Kellys, Bogies, The Fireside, Gerri's (great wings!), Jethros, Mickeys, Ducktail Lounge, Gorneaus, and the Highlife Lounge. That about covers it I think.

Here is one thing I DON"T like about Des Moines though; that would be the trendy bars with one word names full of hot, but dumb bitches and douchenozzles. When I lived in Neck Moines, I couldn't help but notice that the hot chicks were outnumbered 10-1 by douchenozzles. Anyway, my biggest problem with Neck Moines bars is that when I go out drinking, I ain't going out to drink halfass. I want to get effed up. But you need a fucking cab to get home and it takes fucking forever for the cabs there to show up and they're asshole expensive. |

I'm telling you from experience...there's hot ladies there and absolute D-bags there. Even if the ratio of males to females is bad...go there and don't a popped collar d-bag and you a shot of scoring some tail. |
