They have stepped up their game for sure! New menu, new food options, and more drink options. They take reservations for tables now which was a nice surprise as well. The puke punch says it's strong on the menu and I wasn't ready for it- I was feeling good after that one drink! It's very sweet which makes it the best on the menu for my sweet tooth. Most bang for your buck too! My friend said the zombie was delicious! I can't remember what the frozen drink was but my other friend said it was very good! My husband loved the Mai Tai. The volcano bowl (3-4 people shared drink) was fantastic ! For the food, we were pleasantly surprised with how tasty the spam fries were! The dip was excellent as well! The edamame was good as well! As always, the vibes were immaculate and the staff was super friendly! We loved having our own waitress and table reserved. Overall a wonderful experience!

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.

The Milanesa was a new item made with breaded chicken cutlet, arugula and tomato confit on a delicious bun. It was excellent. The field salad had field greens, radicchio, fennel and hazel nuts.

I enjoyed the feel of the place and loved the live plants. I looked at the menu, that I grabbed on the way through and decided upon a vanilla latte. You go upfront to the counter and order. I was very tempted by one of their pastries, but I just decided to have the latte until I could decide what I wanted to eat for breakfast. Everyone was so nice and even brought a carafe of water to my table, since I was hobbling around with a cane (I'm waiting for my hip surgery). I was so delighted to see a beautifully decorated latte; in a simple white shallow mug, delivered direct to my table. I ended up ordering a light breakfast...one egg over medium, and some sourdough toast, with butter and their lovely jam. Everything was done perfectly, and the jam was divine. I will definitely be back again and next time I want to try some of their delectable baked goods with my latte.

This place is very quirky and dive-y, but I enjoyed the atmosphere. For a Friday night, it was pretty chill with hardly anyone in there.

I also loved how they had garlic parm as a dipping sauce option, and it paired perfectly. This is a cool little joint to stop in for some bar food or to grab a beer at.

I looked online to see what the menu was like and it was typical dive bar food. We walked in to an exceedingly dark space.

That's when we found out that despite pictures and menus of food offerings listed online, O'Leaver's does not serve food any more. However, we could eat at the Mexican restaurant next door. So that's what we did. It would be an excellent idea for O'Leaver's to revamp their online presence to reflect the absence of food.
