    I'd never visited this bar previously, but I definitely thought the bar gave quite a presentation. For as busy as this bar gets, the place was clean. All visible surfaces had a shine to them, showing that the owner/management definitely places a lot of attention on making sure they operate a clean establishment. The bar staff was friendly, polite, and ensured everyone was taken care of. Orders were placed and filled promptly and with professionalism. The drinks were well made, and generous in proportion. The DJ booth really shined. The individuals running the booth knew how to interact with the crowd, new how to keep things fun and interactive, and it really showed that they understood thier customers. If you are looking for a club style bar in Des Moines Court Avenue district, I would definitely add this bar to your places to visit.

    FUNNNNNN!!!! Best for young adults. Upstairs is very packed if you're into that. Otherwise there's usually less people on the first floor. Great place to dance and go out with friends. Amazing security.
