Five stars for Shorty’s! This place has the vibe of Cheers layered with the undertones from the underground days of Prohibition with the feel of a modern day speakeasy. Play darts, hang out, and chill with people.

There are few places on Earth where a dive bar and fine dining coexist. Shorty’s is one of those places. It’s kinda like quilt made of denim and white tablecloth. You’ll understand when you go, as you should, and see the highly rated restaurant that sits atop Shorty’s, allowing the shared menu. Like a delicious hat on a drunk man’s head. The 3 times I was there the only thing that outshone the food and drink was the bartender. What a gem.

This place has very limited veg options but the mushroom sliders (ordered without cheese) were excellent and quite filling. The space is really nice and much larger than I expected. The bartender was very friendly and accommodating and the food arrived quickly.

The place was a lot of fun. I wish I lived there, so it could be my regular bar.

Located below RoCA; entrance is in alley. Typical dive bar but shares menu with RoCA. Blackberry bramble cocktail is delicious. Also had Margherita flatbread which is also good. A little on expensive side but I would eat here again.

First time To Des Moines referred by a local. Awesome spot it your looking for a bit of a dive, but somewhat fancy 🙂 this is the spot. Bartender Brent was awesome. Also, they offer a full menu from the restaurant upstairs and the food was awesome!

It’s not that people don’t know about Shorty’s, it’s just that if you aren’t looking for it, you won’t find it, either. The dark basement bar has music playing, sports on TV, and an atmosphere that can range from raging good times to casual drinks with friends. It’s a nice spot tucked in downtown Des Moines. Go down the basement where the ceiling is a bit low and enjoy the dark man cave-like atmosphere for a couple cold ones.

We really liked this Bar, very comfortable, nice bartenders, can get really good appetizers. Loved the retro 60’s vibe, it is my Era.

Best dive bar in DSM. Also a hidden gem considering you can order the full menu from Roca, but in a much more familiar and comfortable setting.
