Tonic - Des Moines

Brook is by far the rudest bartender downtown. Not friendly and will kick you out even after spending plenty of money in there just because you aren't having another drink. Straight up needs an attitude adjustment or find a job that doesn't deal with customers. Won't be going in there if she is working, the mean mug alone isn't worth dealing with.

Okedit as answer to the owner:(There does not seem a Google way to answer a answer, afaict)Nothing personally, but it seemed a little bit understaffed there was a dame and she was hectic. she said she would make me a $5 gin drink and the martini came back eight dollars, and when I talked to a few people in the bar next to me, she carefully placed my three olive stick id on my smartphone to save for the last time. the couple next to me saw it happen and thought it was very excessive. nothing personal I'm sure she cleaned the bar hectic and didn't think about what she did. she apologised, and then brought me a fifth olive cup. it seemed like a nice fashionable place I was for business in the city, and I started drinking tonic water occasionally for the quinine as reaction to the hoax a few months ago, so the name pulled me out of curiosity. I will raise the three to four to appreciate their care that I'm the owner's answer.

Best place downtown to grab a drink, watch some sports, smoke a cigar or meet new people. The bartenders are pretty amazing too! ?

They had the Bud Crawford fight and didn't charge to get in! Great atmosphere and plenty of TV! We were in town from Omaha for a youth basketball tournament and came about 20 30 deep to watch the fight! Thanks for a great experience!!!!

This place is a local favorite. Only thing I don't like where all the fruit flies and gnats behind the bar. Something behind the bar smells terrible; like a fridge that needed to be cleaned out or some other nasty Gunk . They have a shuffleboard and two pool tables as well! No paper towels in the bathroom and the dryer didn't work.
