This seems like a cool place, but we didn’t end up staying to super find out. It was a sunny day and we were looking for the perfect deck overlooking the water. Des Moines’s has a lot of spots in lighthouse lounge would’ve been one of them but the patio is very small and it was already overtaken by group of eight people that seem to all know each other. It seems like you can hang on the actual lighthouse itself but the patio is at the parking lot level down below and I’m not sure that there’s access on the very fun landmark that is the Lighthouse lounge.

Great place for food and drinks. It's a sports vibe but with pull tabs and decent beer. Wish they had other tequila options as their only mezcal is quite premium. Touch tunes if that's your thing. Easy parking and a nice patio

Our bartender ange was sweet and charismatic, she recommended the homemade jalapeño poppers and they did NOT disappoint. We also had the JJs burger with dip, cheese burger and BLT and everyone I was with happily ate their entire meal. This place gives you all the fun vibes of a dive without sacrificing the quality of food. Friendly staff and honestly really friendly patrons as well. We wish we could've stayed longer to play pool or darts but we had so much fun!

💕 loved the place felt like my home pub. I hope the bartender will manage a smile next time. Played pool but lost both games to a worthy opponent.

Met a buddy here on a Friday afternoon because it's equidistant from our houses. First, the bartender, Angie, was amazing. She had a large and raucous group of locals completely under control. She was extremely efficient, fun, positive, and had a confident management of her bar. We initially felt like we were interlopers in a locals spot where everyone knows everyone, but all of the locals and regulars made us feel welcome. Don't be intimidated by this dive bar, it's a great spot!

The food wasn't good, but the service was good. The drinks are good and the crowd was cool.

Great little hide away bar off beer row in downtown Des Moines, nice little beer garden rated in top ten of best in Des Moines !!!!! food & drinks depend on cook & bartender but usually on the better end !! Bands & DJ or Karaoke have been known to happen on weekends. can be fun ???

Laid back place, it's got a homy vibe, neighborhood kind of bar, where the bartender knows everyone.

When I got off the airplane visiting my daughter in Seattle, she wanted to have a drink! So she took me to this bar! She had to throw in there that this place is perfect for you; it is "an older crowd". I have to say she was right! For me, I loved it! Great people. Great bartender!

Great service, the bar is remodeled. Has a fresh clean look inside. food is really good you won't be disappointed. The Atmosphere is very friendly. You feel like you're with family and good company all around. The drinks are definitely worth coming for as well. Bottoms up, cheers, salute or whatever you perfer, it's all welcomed!!! Enjoy your time🤙🍻😊❤️💯

Had fun on a spectacular Saturday. Weather was in the 70s. Sat out on the deck and absorbed lots of vitamin D.

From the first phone call to see if we could bring a cake till time to go home, we were incredibly happy with the service of the staff and the food!! They held the cake for us in their fridge and helped us put tables together for our party. We ordered dinner which was good and they kept up with all requests. We will certainly be back! Thank you for an enjoyable experience and making our friends birthday fun!

They are still working through renovations, but the food and drinks are on point! Great staff working hard to make everyone have a great time. Love the new music nights and karaoke on Fridays. Love the Chicken and Waffles!

Great place! Love the lighthouse decor and ambiance. Bartenders/waitstaff were friendly, diligent, cheerful and sweet, and took care of everyone. There were customers who came in from across the street after being dissatisfied with the service over there. They appreciated the friendly professional service at the Lighthouse in contrast. I live quite a ways north and typically wouldn't be in that area to experience this place, but my new band was hired to play there. We got to watch the Sounders win the cup, right before we took the stage-nice set up for bands, btw. I ran into a customer who knew a relative who lives in the area. I would recommend this charming spot to anyone looking for an enjoyable evening, watch sports on the giant screen, Karaoke, jam night, or live music!

It is a work in progress but well worth stopping in. I'd go back just for the French fries. the menu is limited but good. I'm excited to see the finished product.
