    My family and I went to Fat Putter over the holidays, and we visited within their first week of opening. I'm hoping to see several things change as they get more settled in! **THE GOOD** - We have several mini golf indoor bars like this in the Twin Cities, so it's fun to see thi concept come to Des Moines! They serve standard drinks, a few signature ones, and some canned/tap options. - There were some really unique holes and designs, and perhaps our favorite parts were the "mini game" activities sprinkled throughout outside of the mini golf holes. - You get to play all three 9-hole courses for $18 per person, so while it felt a bit steep, it provided a few hours of entertainment for our family! **THE NOT-SO-GOOD** - They advertised that you can get Fong's here, but that's not the case. The only bring in Fong's for catering or large events, otherwise you have to go get Fong's and can bring it here - not the same as advertised. - Compared to other similar concepts I've been to, much of the mini golf didn't seem as well built. It was only a few days in and golf carpet was pulling up, things were broken, ripped, or showing major wear. A few elements of a few different holes were closed for maintenance already. - We asked a few questions of the bar team (which is where you also buy the mini golf) and they didn't know much at all about the courses. They said they hadn't even played yet themselves. This seems like something that would be important to do during a training for a new spot. I'd love to see them actually partner with a food option, or provide light snacks for purchase. I hope they'll keep an eye on maintenance so the courses don't get worn down over time. And I'd love to see staff trained in mini golf so they can support any needed fixes or answer questions.

    This tiny house is giving Des Monies the vibes it's missing…read more.. On a short layover in Iowa, I was looking for good drinks and food without a lot of waiting or being overcrowded. What I found was a little gem off of one of the main roads in downtown Des Monies. Even before you enter this self described "Tiki Bar" you see all the brick buildings, and then you see an actual grass covered roof...yep that's the place and a really nice touch. The interior is equally cool and spacious, you are greeted by the bar area immediately when you walk in. To your right are comfy couches and instagram friendly neon wall signs, with that signature tiki touch of floral patterns and great lighting. The location is connected to a Asian food restaurant, so they get their food from them as you drink some of the most well crafted adult drinks I've had in a while. I came for happy hour on a Saturday 4:00pm-6:30pm. The drinks were basically 2.00 off with discounted food, the menu is limited to mostly chicken wraps and crab rangoons etc. I will say the portions were filling and very delicious. The star of the show was my El Colmillo, a tequila based drink with lime, orange juice, lime. The bartender did say it's all pre mixed, and that day she subbed the tequila with Casamigos, because the house tequila was out. Customer service was great, until it wasn't. Our server was excellent, until a guy came in off break and they seemed to have some tension. She really didn't have that same positive energy as before, otherwise an overall excellent experience. Pro Tip: Take a walk over to "Hello, Marjorie", it's a completely different vibe but drinks there are just as good...if not better. Go see Travis, he is 10/10 at "Hello, Marjorie".

    Simone is the coolest bartender. She went way above and beyond with her service, up to pulling out…read morea light and taking pictures for me and my friend. They have such a lowkey cool vibe here. This is a great place to pull thru with a group of friends.
