Reviews for The High Life Lounge in Des Moines, IA
Prices certainly went up. Cheeseburger Basket is now $8.99 says 1/4 pound but sure seemed small. Service was meh and overall... just not as good as I remember we went around noon on Friday and pretty empty should have been a red flag. Read more
Loved this place. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The food is excellent. I had the broasted chicken - expensive but... very tasty and juicy. If I'm in this area again, I will stop by. Read more
As the name would suggest...this place is a tavern! And it's fantastic! Old school decor, look at the beers on... tap...outstanding! Friendly staff and just blocks away from Principal Park Read more
Hands down one of the most chill bar in Des Moines. Ryan our bartender was excellent, he?s a cool dude?very kind and hospitable... and he makes the Best Green tea shots ever !! This place is a must to go visit and have a good time. Read more
Came here for lunch as I was staying across the street at the Marriott. I had the broasted chicken. Being from Houston, I had... never heard of it. But the waitress said it was pretty good so I thought I'd give it a try. It was easily some of the bestchicken I've had. The food came out fast and the chicken was crispy and flavorful. I returned here 2 more times after my firstvisit just for the chicken. Delicious!!!! Read more
As a loyal High Life drinker, I had to go here. Loved the ambiance of the place! Had the bacon wrapped tots and they did not... disappoint! So, good I highly recommend! The bartender provided great service and an amazing recommendation for dinner. Will100% be back when I am in town. Read more
This is a really fun place to grab a bite to eat and a drink. The High Life Lounge is a great restaurant and I love that it is... open until 11pm. My friend and I wanted to get a meal but most of the other places closed at 9pm or 10pm. It's nice that thisplace stays open so late. The atmosphere is really fun here. It can be loud though, so if you want a quiet dinner, maybe find adifferent place. The food was really good though! I really liked the sweet potatoe tater tots! I definitely recommend checkingthis place out! Read more
Servers were VERY rude. A family member that was with us was saying hello to an old friend and accidentally got in the managers... way and he literally screamed at her to move, what kind of a manager does that?? We had a large party as the whiskey festivalwas this day, My party was kicked out and told we wouldnt be served anymore for ?being in the bar too long.? we were all alittle tipsy but none of us were falling over, yelling, or making any type of scene. The first bit of our party showed up around3 and the last bit came around 4:30-5 and we were kicked out at 7:30 -8 bc we were ?at the bar way to long? really disapointingwhen you just spent so much money at an establishment for them to kick you out for giving them business. Well, we will never begoing back here and do not recommend this place to anyone unless you wanna be yelled at and given attitude the whole time. Thestaff here needs to do better and be retrained in customer service. Read more
