A deal where you buy a $25 booklet and get a free beer at about 18-20 bars all throughout Des Moines and Ames. That's the deal. It's well known and an annual thing. We presented it to the bar tender as expected and was promptly told that they do not recognize it and only use it for BOGO's. That's simply not the deal that we paid for. Unfortunate.

We started with a Spiced Watermelon Paloma (see picture) and Summer Berry Spritzy Sangria (see picture) - both of which were very tasty and quite refreshing. For our meals, my wife ordered the Cooper's Hawk Chicken Giardiniera (see picture) and I opted for the Blackened Mahi Sandwich (see picture). We both enjoyed our meals as well as the samples that we shared with each other - so would definitely order them again and recommend them. While I was disappointed with our first visit and find the lighting quite poor inside the restaurant in the evenings, the food, drink and atmosphere are consistently very good.

I let the gentleman know I was waiting for some friends. I was wandering around (maybe 5 min) checking out the place, and the gentleman came out from behind the bar.

My friends both ordered americanos and raved about them. The gentleman continued to check on us the entire time we were there. Amazing service, great atmosphere and great coffee.

He was more on the rude side because he was the only one working at that time and was more than happy to tell us this on multiple occasions. There was only 2 other customers in the whole place and we weren't in a hurry or trying to rush our server. He must have been trying to be proactive, but it was unnecessary and came off rude, hence the 4 rating.
