Scooter’s 1340th bar, first visited in 2019.

Mullets, Des Moines

Since Exile Brewing was closed we contoinued our attempt to go to Iowa Taproom a day ahead of schedule in order to get some lunch. But as we were about to cross a bridge, this place called out to us. And, as it turned out, it had food.

This place wants to be a dive bar but I just can’t classify it as that… it’s too clean and has too many good beer options.

It was packed and the kitchen was really backed up, but pizzas were at least quick so we went with that. In addition to pizza I had a 1939 Red Ale by Big Grove Brewery

Originally we had made the difficult decision of cutting this place from our itinerary. But after learning that Exile was closed for the afternoon sent us in a different direction, we realized we were close enough to here to visit. And I’m glad we did, this is a great little dive bar!
