They offer food that is not prepared there but brought it. They do sell sodas there. My family was happy cause they had sodas we hadn't had in a long time! Strawberry Crush and Grape Crush! Yum! They allow you to bring in food too if you like. We made a couple of charcuterie plates and brought a bottle of wine. This place is great for families and even team building events. Thanks Ironside for helping make our 2022 Holiday memorable.

I was in downtown Des Moines for work & was looking for somewhere within walking distance of our…read morehotel to hang out w/ my colleagues. A coworker suggested this ping pong bar which also has skee-ball & other games. As a former college tennis player, I was in & had such a blast. We came in at 9pm on a Wednesday night & it wasn't too busy. We 1st got drinks & had the friendliest bar tender. We were interested in local beers & she also easily rattled off helpful descriptions of each one. I was having trouble deciding between the Mango Cart wheat ale & the Citris Surfer by Big Grove Brewery. The bar tender said that both combined was pretty good & let me try it. I didn't even know you could do that so my mind was blown when it tasted great. Who knew how fun it would be to work up a sweat & drink beer at the same time?! We had almost gone to a brewery to hang out but I'm so glad we didn't. Also note that the nearby breweries close by 10pm so this place was a great option open much later so we wouldn't feel rushed or that our evening was cut short. I hadn't played ping pong forever but the easygoing but trendy-ish atmosphere made it fun! I'd def come back when I'm here for work again.

From start to finish, this is a well organized production. If you do groups, they send you links ahead of time to pick out projects. They work with you for payments ahead, so you don't have to worry about that the day of. Excellent email communication so that everyone is set up. Lots of time to shop online and figure out what you want to do. Team bonding experience that puts you to work. Like I said,don't be fooled. You are going to work for your project! You walk in and are warmly welcomed by the staff. She directs you to your table. They have all the projects that you pre-purchased laid out. Snag a drink, they are available for purchase. The individual assigned to you goes over all the details. You throw on your work apron and get going. Pick out your stain. Sand your project. (Hope you picked a smaller one) Stain your project. Decorate your project. Paint your project. You can easily spend a couple of hours working on your project. Sanding, staining, painting, detailing. You do it all. If you want to have take-home projects too. They are there through the whole process. It was a lot of fun, work and recommended.

The musicians are first-rate, mostly 30 to 50 somethings who have left professional playing careers to raise families, etc. Their repertoire is huge, and varied. They can do anything from nostalgia (think Glenn Miller) to cutting edge jazz. (Think Joshua Redman, Village Vanguard, etc) The members can put smaller groups together as well, and have played many of the coolest weddings in central Iowa, I'm told. They appear every Monday evening at the Adventureland Inn restaurant in Altoona. Lot's of great jazz guests throughout the year.
