The host was very friendly and answered all of my questions while we waited to be seated inside the bar area. Upon Entry the ambiance was dim lighting and very whimsical. For me the seats are very uncomfortable and low. I really didn't like that. No back support unless you sit on the side against the wall but you are really close to other customers. It's a pretty tight nit spot. Drinks are very pretty and many options to choose from. This would be a place to go to just for the experience not necessarily for the drinks.

Revival House was one of the most unique cocktail bars I visited in Des Moines! Hidden in downtown,…read morethis tiki-themed bar feels like you've stepped into a tropical oasis with bamboo accents, colorful lighting, and fun vintage-inspired décor. The cocktail menu is full of creative tropical drinks, and the atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out! It's cozy, immersive, and the perfect spot for a date night, catching up with friends, or starting an evening downtown. We went on a mini road trip to Des Moines from Kansas City and this was the first spot we visited! Every corner has its own personality, making it just as fun to look around as it is to sip your drink. If you're looking for a cocktail bar that's a little different from the norm, Revival House is definitely worth adding to your Des Moines itinerary.

Can't recommend this place right now. My drink was really watered down. There was hardly any flavor…read morefrom the rye whiskey in my mixed drink. But that was the highlight I was most looking forward to. There wasn't much flavor of anything else, either. Even the chili spice sugar garnish on the rim was lackluster. Pity. Decor was okay, but it smelled kind of sour inside, as if cleaning hadn't been done properly or often. Same with the seating outdoors--dingy, sagging, unkempt. Bar area seemed a bit disorganized, and something sticky was on the outside of my drink that got on my hands right as I received it. Service was friendly but just okay--it wasn't too busy when we arrived, and we still had to wait an incommensurate amount of time for drinks. Overall, not much to impress. Recommend a pass on this place.

Dope tiki bar in Omaha! If I'm in a new city for 48 hours, odds are I'm gonna find the tiki oasis…read more This was just what the doctor ordered. Long event day on our feet and this was the definition of an escape. The underground tiki bar might not seem like much when you're walking down the stairs to find it, but once you're inside you're transported somewhere vibrant yet relaxed all at once. Bartenders were super nice and friendly. They made awesome conversation and once they found out I was visiting, they seemed even more hospitable. Tiki drinks are known to take a few extra minutes due to the laundry list of ingredients, so the fact they took the time to get to know me really elevated the experience. For the cocktail menu, you'll find all the classics like Mai Tai, Painkiller, Saturn, etc. They also had an extensive variety of original cocktails, which I think we all opted for. Mine was called the Swamp Rattler (had to pay homage to my Florida roots) and I loved it! Vibes are on point. Place was busy at 11pm on a Thursday night. Most of us didn't realize it was closing time at midnight, and they were all so friendly about telling us to leave. Was cool that the bartenders knew all the tiki bars in Denver, too! My fave stop in Omaha, awesome spot!

If you like an Aperol spritz but want to change up the flavor, this is perfect!! It's definitely got some liquor in it, strong but not overpoweringly so, which I would hope for given the price. Their staff is always nice and gets orders out as fast as they can, sometimes it takes a bit because of the line, but they keep up pretty well! Their upgrades to the seating area are great, even more comfy chairs and shade to enjoy a nice evening.

They have Thursday and Friday night live music if I am not mistaken, so come out and enjoy the night life. You order at the front counter, get handed a buzzer, then pick up your order at the counter. They have a seasonal selection which they slightly switch up each year. I had the frozen strawberry limeade, alongside the frozen strawberry lemonade with the limeade being my favorite! Not overly sweet and great natural tasting strawberry flavor. Alongside the green space you can sit under the covered area although there is limited covered seating so come prepared.

Popcorn and Cocktails (PaC) is such a cool idea for a business…read more The interior is so cute and almost a 20s vintage vibe with a cool Omaha mural. We first visited PaC at a Yelp event, but now we are hooked on their popcorn! The cocktails portion of Popcorn and Cocktails is nothing to sneeze at either. They are super smooth and flavorful, and the perfect pairing with a little side of popcorn. They even have pairings on their menu that show you which popcorns go best with each cocktail (and each cocktail actually comes with a side of that popcorn). If you like your side of popcorn that came with your cocktail, you can also purchase a large bag of it to take home! Our favorite popcorns have been the French Toast, Bourbon Bacon Cheddar, and Peanut Butter. They have popcorns for every craving - savory or sweet. And the cocktail we've liked the best was the Summer Peach - which literally came with a peach candy on the rim! So easy to drink and a little sweet. Popcorn with cocktails might sound like an odd combination, but PaC does it perfectly and will convert you to a fan of this combo!!

What a great hook. Perfect bar for "grownups" who want a nice drink in a chill setting. It's women owned, always a plus.

This is not my typical cuisine so it didn't blow me away by any means, but it was good food at a good price. Our server did a great job, taking care of our party of 10! Knowing this was a bachelorette party, she unprompted brought us a free round of shots, which was much appreciated! She even went above and beyond by getting two NA shots for the two pregnant women in our group. Great experience, and great vibe! I would definitely come back here!

Ghost Donkey is visually stunning and has an undeniable aesthetic, but the hospitality on our visit…read morewas completely lacking. We arrived early on a Friday evening, and despite being the very first people at the bar to place an order, my drink was completely forgotten. When I politely followed up to ask about it, the bartender didn't apologize - instead, she bluntly told me that she had other orders to make first and would get to mine eventually. There were zero smiles, no warmth, and an overall low-energy, indifferent attitude from behind the bar that set a sour tone for the rest of the night. If a venue charges premium prices for craft cocktails, the service needs to reflect that standard. It's an absolute shame because the space itself is lovely and has so much potential, but great decor can't compensate for dismissive service. Won't be rushing back.
