First off, no, this is NOT closed…read more We were visiting from Kansas City and stopped in here for a beer. This was a small place, with a pool table and video slots surrounding a small L-shaped bar. We took the last two available stools in the back corner. The bartender, a nice woman with a good sense of humor, asked where we were from and wondered how we found her way to the bar. She pointed out that I was sitting next to the pump, and for some reason I responded by inserting my finger into the pump's spigot. I immediately yanked it back out. "I should know better than to stick my finger into random holes in an unfamiliar bar," I said. "Yeah, you probably shouldn't stick any part of you in any hole in this place," she said with a laugh. Speaking of holes, the sink in the men's room was stainless steel rounded by a kitchen-like countertop. But, most noteworthy, it was chest-high. We'd soon learn that for some reason that's a staple in this town.

I don't know if Annie was our bartender or if she was the woman in the art, but neither were particularly fat by any means. :) Both when we arrived and when we left, a little girl opened the door of the laundry next door and stared at us with a scowl. Whether she was curious about the strangers in town or concerned about the sinners drinking in the afternoon remains a mystery.

This is a basement bar with low ceilings under the fancy wine bar Sobracco. People consider Shorty's a dive bar but it's anything but.. It's actually quite clean and nice inside. Sometime the music is really loud on a Saturday night so it can not be the best place to socialize but if you go for an afternoon brew or meeting around 4pm, it's going to be a perfect spot to drain 3 beers for the price of 1! This is one of those places that if you can find it, you will go back multiple times!

While in Des Moines talking with the locals, they suggested Carl's Place. They explained that it…read morewas an absolute dive bar, but a great one to visit and one not to pass up while in Des Moines. So, naturally, my friend and I gravitated to Carl's. The outside of the bar isn't labeled, so if you didn't know where it was, you might miss it. We were there at the height of the early afternoon in July and the sun was out in full force. When you walk into the bar, you wouldn't know what time of day or night it is, there aren't any windows to really shine the light through. You definitely get the "dive bar" experience. The bar itself appears a little older, but the patrons and the bartenders were bar none! It was a great bunch of people just there to hang out and enjoy the day. The bar has a small stage that has live music during the weeks. None while we were there, but heard it's pretty good! They had darts and there three different "sections" within the bar. We only had a few drinks but it was well worth the stop! I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
