## About

Food-drinks in Des Moines are in a very fun, very slightly chaotic phase right now. You have hundreds of people bouncing between a Des Moines Makers Market & Bar Hop one night, then packing into a Khmer New Year Party or the 4th Annual Bling Fling Cancer Gala for cocktails and comfort food the next. It is not polished, it is not precious, it just feels like a city that has decided hanging out with a drink in one hand and a plate in the other is a personality trait.

Most nights, the social gravity sits around a few key spots. Exile Brewing Co. is still the easy answer when someone texts “where should we meet.” It is the brewery you recommend to out of towners, but locals still actually go, which is rare. Big beer list, reliable food, and the kind of crowd that ranges from office groups to people who very clearly planned their whole day around what is on tap. If you care more about conversation than waiting for a perfect Instagram moment, this is where you start.

Then there is The Garden Nightclub, where the drinks are rarely subtle and neither is anything else. Think high energy, strong pours, and the sort of themed nights where food and drinks are just part of the spectacle. It is the opposite of low key, in a good way. The Homies Helping Homies 90’s Pop Up fits right into this lane, all nostalgia, neon and shots you probably have not ordered since college. People do not come here for a quiet glass of wine, they come to make stories they will have to fill in the blanks on later.

On the other end of the mood, ChaCha's Hiland Bakery is exactly the kind of place locals try not to talk about too loudly. Old school pastry energy, the smell of sugar at absurd o’clock, and the unofficial pre or post event fuel for half the city. Hit it before an APRIL ASADA MOTORCYCLE SHOW & COOKOUT or Blessing of the Bikes gathering and you will understand how Des Moines really does food-drinks: not fancy, just fiercely specific.

Here is where to start with the best food-drinks in Des Moines:

• Exile Brewing Co.: Big, social brewery meets solid comfort food, the default meet up spot.
• The Garden Nightclub: Loud, colorful, strong drinks, great if you like your cocktails with a side of chaos.
• ChaCha's Hiland Bakery: Classic bakery energy, grab and go carbs that quietly power half the city’s food-drinks events.
• Des Moines Makers Market & Bar Hop: For people who like browsing local vendors with a drink in hand.
• Homies Helping Homies 90’s Pop Up!: Nostalgic drinks and party snacks for anyone who still knows every word to a 90s hook.
• APRIL ASADA MOTORCYCLE SHOW & COOKOUT: Grills, bikes, and the kind of food that tastes like gasoline fumes and sunshine in the best way.
• Khmer New Year Party: Where you go for real flavor and a crowd that actually shows up to celebrate, not just post about it.
• 4th Annual Bling Fling Cancer Gala: Dress up, drink well, and remind yourself this city is very good at mixing generosity with a strong bar program.
