The Irish, West Des Moines IA

Sat at the bar around 9: 30pm on a Saturday. IDs were checked at the door which made ordering drinks a lot quicker. They specialize in various flavors of Moscow Mules. Beer selection was also quite extensive. The bartenders were extremely efficient, especially Trevor. I told him what I was looking for and he created a cocktail based off of that. The DJ started right before we left. Wish we had the energy to stay for that. Overall, great place with great ambience.

Bought a cigar, and was offered a pair of scissors because they lost all the cutters. Also wasn't offered a lighter, though never asked since I couldn't cut it. They did eventually find a cutter, but at that point my party had already decided to leave. Great waste of $15 on a cigar that ended up in the garbage.

The old fashioned with angel's envy was amazing! The atmosphere is fantastic really neat little pub.

We had tables and couches reserved for 30 people for an after wedding reception party that we booked a few months in advance. The manager, Kori, even offered to bring in Pizza from Coaches Pizza next door for us. I thought, how nice. They knew we were to arrive at midnight, but when we got there, there were no tables reserved, no pizza, the servers and bartenders had no idea we were coming. We had all of this confirmed the week prior. I reached out to Kori as she gave me her personal number. I texted her the issues, but never heard back. We loved this bar so it’s sad and frankly just super unprofessional. Us and our friends have decided we won’t be back again and we will not be supporting The Irish’s sister bars either.

So on the surface it looks like a great place. Beautiful inside! Friendly staff. My complaint is having to walk thru the smoking patio to get inside the place. The walk thru is fine, not ideal but whatever. Once you're inside you would think that would be the end of the smoke. But nope! I think i second hand smoked 2 packs of cigs just sitting in the non smoking section. Really poor ventilation. Not even sure why they have a door separating the 2 sections when it all just ends up in the main area. My friends had fun but had to cut my night short bc of all the SMOKE! I'm a former smoker but I've never just sat and wallowed in an ashtray.

It was a great bar, Reasonable drink prices, and a very nice heated smoking patio. They have a good selection of cigars and drinks to chose from, that you can smoke in the patio area

I’ve been a regular for about 3 years. Kristin, Kendra and RAF are AWESOME! This new manager and bartenders are horrible. The regulars are not very happy with the service or the drinks. I’ve had the same mixed drink here since I have first visited and they keep messing it up. Follow the drink book. Not that hard. One thing I LoVe about these 3 is I never have to wait for a drink and they never mess it up. Hopefully someone who cares will see this and change things back. From an unhappy customer.

Love this place - the ambiance is great to chill with the boys, drink some bourbon and smoke some cigars

This present irish pub has a great patio for a cigar and a good drink. The interior looks nice, although I have not spend much time there. Overall pleasant atmosphere.

The Irish is a very chill place to have a drink and see your friends and it doesn't get overcrowded. The employees are always friendly and helpful. I wouldn't recommend any other place to grab a drink.

Ok.awesome bar with impeccable bartenders but get Harp Lager in. Bennigans has Harp on tap for Pete's sake

I honestly liked the dishes and customer service, good location close to where I live. The staff members are always super friendly. I highly recommend this place.

Nice place have been there many times tonight music was too loud. DJ was playing for q packed bar which wasn't the case. Was there a year ago and enjoyed the music and QBs able to talk with friends. Not this evening.

Came in late on a Wednesday. Only had drinks at the bar. Great service. Very fun atmosphere.

I admire this place very much.there is a romantic mood. The meals are superb.the service is effective and the waiters are polite. The price is honest.very much recommend.

I just love this bar. It's such a low key place to get a drink. The front area is smoke friendly and the regular bar is in the back.
