“ Great service. Lot of beer options. I always go for the honey Sriracha chicken sandwich. Heading back in March for another visit. ”
“ If you're a fan of Iowa beers, this is the place for you! They have an amazingly large selection, and I was in heaven sipping on a Dortmunder lager and a red ale. Unfortunately, I don't recall the brewer for either one, but both were fantastic. The food was solid overall. The Asian salad had a tasty kick with just the right level of spice, though I think it could've been better with fresher greens. The bulgogi tacos and ham balls were fun and flavorful additions to the menu. The outdoor seating isn't bad. It's about 12 tables set up in an alleyway next to the building. Most tables are four-toppers, but they also have a couple of long eight-top tables for bigger groups. Heads up: there's no dedicated parking lot, so it's street parking only. Great vibe, tasty eats, and an epic beer lineup! Definitely worth checking out ”
“ A staple in East Village for a number of years. Stop by on a Monday night I was surprised how busy it was. Great ambiance for a spot for good food and drinks. Had the Foccacia Club with fries. Great sandwich and fries seasoned just right. Service was spot on and timely. Drinks made just right. If you're looking for a local spot for two or twenty, it's hard to beat Iowa Taproom. Prices are reasonable and the beer selection is awesome. ”
“ We walked in and were seated right away. The place is somewhat decorated for Christmas, but it's still an inviting atmosphere with their enormous craft beer selection. I love the apricot beer, but opted for water tonight. I got the blackened salmon BLTA. The A stands for avocado. It was on a ciabatta bun. Very tasty and filling. Hubby got the Reuben and I snagged a bite. It was how it was supposed to taste and still warm. Very good. Our server was polite and friendly and we were in and out in less than 40 minutes. :). ”
“ I do love Des Moines Underrated beer city Get down there pronto Something like 99 taps of all Iowa beers from over 35 Iowa breweries that are always rotating. Open all 7 days. It can get crowded. If you can hit it during a down time you have hit the jackpot. I would like to just sit here all day. Heard through a rideshare driver that one company owns all of these great places in Des Moines. Hessen Haus, Fong's, El Baitshop, Iowa Taproom, etc. They know what they are doing if that is the case. To sum it up, the food is great. The beer is plentiful. The staff is friendly. Seems like they even remember me lol. If all things work out, should be back soon in the dead cold of winter. ”

“ WHAT a great find! Everything was amazing! Service was incredible, and the FOOD.... It was fresh, fast, and OMGOODNESS! So Delicious!!! We had The Maytag Burger with mashed potatoes, Fish tacos with Rice, And we had Cheese curds. Still thinking about that meal a day later. ”
“ This is a place I wish I went to more often! It's a nice open restaurant with a unique rustic feel. The amount of drink choices are off the charts, food options are endless & the service is great! This time, we did apps only before a concert & we were still stuffed! Prices are very reasonable with something for everyone. ”
