Mary Go Round Lounge, Des Moines IA

Great little local bar, if you're looking for a cozy place to have a few drinks or some good eats, this is the place to go

The food, as always, can't be beat! I had the super sausage sandwich, and my son had the loose meat sausage sandwich, and they were both big, and perfectly done. The fries were cooked perfectly, and my son appreciated that they offered cottage cheese as a side.

Great bar food! We had the burgers - and they were huge and fantastic!

Pool, golden tee and darts.

This bar is a great place for both the younger and older crowd. It definitely has a cozy, at-home feel to it. It has a dart board and pool table, as well as great service and prices.

Great bar, used to come here after getting off work at ALL STAR GRADING. Best bar in Des Moines

Went there on a Saturday afternoon and the bartender seemed to be babysitting an elementary age girl.

Shortly after walking in the young girl proceeded to take a nap on the pool table with a dog.

It sure made for an interesting story - beer was cold also.

Felt cozy, Nice Bartender who was right there when we needed a refill. Food looked good though we didn't eat here but will next time.

The friendliest little dive bar on the northside. We love to come here on Friday nights to catch up with our buddies at the bar, especially Kirsten the bartender!

I have been frequenting this place for years.
I love all the bartenders/ servers. The ones who are not so friendly are let go pretty fast. The owner has a good way of feeling people out quickly.
There has never been a time where I’ve felt unwelcome.
Kim and Nicole are often here and if there’s any issues or they even sense a customer is unhappy they go above and beyond to ensure your visit is great.

This place is amazing - not to long ago I had a few to many drinks and left a wallet with cash! I called a few days later and the owner had placed it in a safe spot for me to pick up WITH ALL THE MONEY INSIDE!
This is the place you can safely drink and not be taken advantage of.
You can often find the owner in there working her tail off. Some of the most friendly personable staff in town!

The food is great! I always get the daily special when I’m in but the wings are amazing. I recommend this place for wings on a weekly basis.

Pricing is reasonable and you meet some of the greatest people here. One of my top 5 favorite places to stop in to have drinks.

Went for lunch, just looking for places we'd never been before.

PROs: The food here was excellent. I got the sausage sandwich and my wife got the steak sandwich. Mine was just a little spicy from the Grazianos, as expected. The fries were also good, just the right amount of cooked (not limp or burnt, but crispy).

The service was good, prices were nice, and the food didn't take too long to cook, either.

CONs: The atmosphere here is definitely that of a dive bar. There are signs about social distancing, but the server/bartender wasn't wearing mask.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place for a good lunch, though you should wear a mask if you're health conscious during the pandemic.

Great food and ice cold beer. I like that they have music throughout. Had a great time, hated to leave.
