West End Lounge, Des Moines IA

Owner belittled us for being old. Told us we should probably go somewhere else since this is a young persons bar.

To the owner’s response: you really don’t get it, do you? Your response is denigrating. What other types of people would you “helpfully” say you aren’t welcome here. If you want to be helpful put the list of types people you don’t want at your bar on your front door.

Btw, I had a fine time at your bar. The only negative person there was you. And, you are not young. You may want to reconsider who is actually good for your bar and start by looking in the mirror.

Obviously the best bar around drake. If you don’t like Westend you're dumb.

I think Weston Lounge is in better shape than it was in the 80s. Always a great staple when you're in town for the Drake relays

Third time I’ve tried this place. Never had a good experience. The owner badgers negative reviewers, and touts positive ones. This establishment does not have a phone number that is answered. That is important, when you try to call, you get no response, but the owner can try to dispute your claims without any recourse. Maybe he will change his mind, it’s amazing how stringent the vaccination card requirement is but, clearly they have been a little loose on the age requirement to drink. Maybe with a little LEO presence the place can be cleaned up. Who knows.
