Beer Can Alley

Ever want that old west bar feeling, you know the one, where at any minute someone may walk in the door and draw a gun on the crowd. This is your place. Getting metal detected on the way in even solidifies this feeling. The rubbers in a claw machine add a touch of class. Only missing the dancing girls and man on a piano. Disappointing there are no horses tied up out front.

Very fun place love music there is so good.

Went to this bar in the early side but by the time we left a cover was being charged. That being said, there was a line down the staircase of people looking to get in. Drinks were about average price for the area. Music was typically country themed if that's your thing not really for anyone over the age of 25 years old to enjoy. Very average experience.

Has a nice "country bar" atmosphere and provides easy access to The Exchange next door. There is a stage for live music and a dance floor, as well as plenty of seating options.

One of our favorite places to go in downtown! Love the selection of music and dancing, but service is usually pretty slow on Saturday nights. Usually only 2 behind bar and can take 10 minutes to get a drink.

A great place to spend a night out with the girls!! Drinks weren't to expensive and it had a big dance floor!!! Very clean and had very friendly workers!! Music was kindof slow at some points but I guess that's a personal preference of music!!

Went into Beer Can Alley for the first time the other day not knowing what to expect. I'm not a country fan by any means but the drinks were good and I saw someone "trying" to line dance. I don't know what could be more entertaining than that so it's got my vote as a place to check out. If you're looking for something a bit different downtown Des Moines this place is worth checking out.

We came in this weekend to see Tyler Hammond play. The general manager Joe took great care of us all night. HUGE downfall... women's bathroom!!!! 2 stalls are not enough and when we went out side we asked the bouncer if we could come back in since we had been there since 8. he said no, we would have to pay a cover. we are from Iowa City and the bars downtown do not do that.

It's an awesome place. Does not kick off until a bit laterg but you'll enjoy it. However, please do not dress up like this. Not hot, not cool. Sorry. The place is more upscale.

A man who is short in stature and named Austin Rodgers was obviously wasted behind the bar and tried to charge us double for what we drank. He then said he deleted our tab and asked for our card back. Upon giving him the card I suggested he maintain a professional attitude and not drink while serving. He then said go back to where you came from and continued to say I was bit**ing about a $10 tab. I guess a crazy busy bar like this doesn't care about the customer satisfaction when it lets it's bartenders get drunk and harass customers. Disappointed and unsatisfied 100%
