    Peppermint hot chocolate
    Mark O.

    $4 hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps! Or many other different liquors. With a windchill of -30, how could you go wrong? Krissy was working the bar and she recommended the chipotle dip. This was excellent. She was busy but made sure she checked in. I thought she gave great service, despite wearing a Chiefs sweatshirt. The meat on the sandwich was fine, but I didn't think the cheese melted very well...and the bun didn't hold up well to the au jus. I'll give a different sandwich a go next time, but everything else was excellent.

    Th food is delicious, the bartenders are professional and friendly, and the atmosphere is really great for watching ISU Cylone games. I highly recommend this place!

    Loved the food. Love the atmosphere. The service was great. Honestly the best Ruben I've had around Des Moines. The corned beef was melt in your mouth delicious. My boyfriend got the Mac and cheese burger and said it was okay, he wanted it to be more sloppy and he said it was a little bland.

    Gin and tonic in the patio---waiting for my coworkers...

    New buffalo shrimp quesadilla is a nice addition to the menu. Great place to meet friends for a beer or two.

    We have been visiting our daughter in Des Moines for several years while she attends college there…read more We drive past here several times each trip and have always wanted to stop. Our last trip we had time so we stopped in. I love the decor and the vibe inside. However, I don't know if our bartender was on a bender or what but we struggled to get service. People who came in after us struggled to get service. The customers at the bar or more attentive than the bartender was. With that being said we give this place another chance and plan to come back on our next visit. I must note that we were just there for drinks. I don't know about the food situation.

I wouldn't call me St. Patrick by any means because as legend says he feared nothing not even death! .. I will say I won't be scared to come back to Kathy's. The bartender was super welcoming, and chatty, He even shook my hand at the end of my visit. He was very attentive to all 10 of us in the bar, all from different walks of life! I was super excited that a guy brought in and set up his daughters girl scout cookies to sell to patrons and yes next thing you know everyone in the bar is sharing a variety of Girl Scout Cookies! Law and Order SVU was on the Tv, William Shatner's Christmas album was on the touch tunes and I enjoyed a lazy Sunday afternoon with a cool crew of folks. The place is cool and has framed photos of famous people with Irish roots.. We ain't just talking Conan, Bono, and Van Morrison we are talking Hitchcock and Detective Benson from Law and Order SVU's mom Jayne Mansfield.. Who I happened to just look up on Wiki to make sure on the spelling of her name and I discovered that Jimi Hendrix played on her music she put out in the 60's... WOW all I can say.. I feel pretty LUCKY to know that and pretty LUCKY to have gone to Kathy's.

Intimate, dark atmosphere inside, and brighter (and often warmer!) out back on the patio. Meatloaf and Salmon entrees are regulars for us, but we've tried almost every sandwich and many of the other entrees, and they are always full of flavor and delicious. Salads are fresh and have very good quality lettuce and veggies. Dressings are good as well. Small bar with drop in seating, but it pays to get a reservation. They currently use Toast to take reservations and you'll get a reminder the day prior to your visit. Walk in's often find it challenging to squeeze in here! Service is always good and the bartenders make a good drink.

My only issue is food temperature---while served eye appealing it was just warm -- work on food temperature control -- the sweet potato fries were awesome and the egg rolls with barbecue sauce and sausage were solid. Jeffrey -- my wait staffer-- bar mixologist-- made me a Lavender Lemonade Mocktail and it was every bit as good as a "Mr Pibbs." The soft music cascading in the background provided the serene feeling to allow me to play message catch up by iPhone and a tab, or utilize the quiet spot to socialize with great company. This space gives you a choice for fun socialization.
