One of Des Moines' finest craft breweries and smash burgers. Bonus: it's right around the corner from our favorite dive, Carl's Place.
If you're in town on Saturday morning, you can't miss the Des Moines Farmers Market. Just steps away from the Surety, it sprawls through the Historic Court District. Expect live music, lots of food, dog watching, and crowds. Grab a coffee and a pastry or breakfast burrito so you're ready to celebrate later in the day.
This quaint cocktail spot was the site of our first date. It's also where Tom drank up the courage to pop the question the night he proposed. We love the unique drinks and always-on-point soundtrack.
A favorite brunch spot and a quick walk from downtown Des Moines. Might be just the ticket on Sunday morning.
Arcade games and a pretty extensive tap list. Plus cheap pizza slices. Get in the door early on Friday night for free tokens (then join us at our welcome party).
Daily happy hour from 2-6 is the best deal in town. The pizza is good too.
