We recently held my daughter’s wedding reception at Grumpy’s Bar & Event Center, and it couldn’t have gone better! The food was delicious — the chicken was juicy and flavorful, and they offered options for keto and vegetarian guests, plus great snacks and desserts. The bartenders were quick, friendly, and kept everyone happy all evening.
The staff was flexible and accommodating, making setup and tear-down easy. The large space provided plenty of room for dining and dancing, and the different lighting options helped create just the right ambiance. Tables were kept tidy, the bathrooms were clean, and the entire atmosphere had a fun, comfortable vibe.
Mike and the team truly went above and beyond to make my daughter’s vision come to life — from the table layout to the wedding video setup and even allowing candles, which added such a lovely touch. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and the friendly service!
If you’re looking for an affordable, beautiful, and welcoming place to celebrate — with the heart of a fun neighborhood spot but the feel of a special event venue — look no further than Grumpy’s!

My entire experience was way more than I have come to expect at a small town bar/restaurant. The menu was what I expect from a fancy restaurant in Des Moines. Everyone working was ready to serve with a smile. They have amazing events and the perfect place to host it all. ABOVE & BEYOND EVERY EXPECTATION I HAD. What I heard was true. It really is the BEST dive bar. Also get the fried pickles. Your Welcome.

Great place to stop and eat for sure! Don’t have a huge staff so if you go when busy- don’t be grumpy. But they have a huge event area as well. Place is always clean and friendly

Great small town bar/restaurant. The drinks are stiff and I’ve yet to have a bad meal there. My favorites are their pizza and wings. The fried pickles are a must try.

They cut back on their specialty pizza’s which left us kind of bummed. 2 of the 3 we wanted they don’t make anymore. So we ended up getting an all meat pizza, a pepperoni, cheesy bread sticks, and cheese balls. The menu online is not up to date with their changes.
The pizza’s were good, and the cheesy bread sticks were great!! The taste of the pizza was good enough to come back for, but the crust under the pizza was thinner than I would have preferred. They had more on the menu than pizza, so looking forward to try other things! The employee that took our order over the phone was kind and had great patience while we decided what we wanted since we had to revise our order. When I went in to pick up our food he was very welcoming and friendly. We will be back!

I’ve lives in small town Iowa pretty much my whole life and didn’t know this place existed. The food was unique and phenomenal. The service was great as well,our waiter was very attentive and friendly,and the overall vibe from the place was just amazing. I got the chicken Philly, my fiance and our friend both got the gooey burger and we shared an appetizer platter with corn nuggets,fried pickle wraps with raspberry sauce for dipping and pepper jack cheese nuggets and we were all pleasantly stuffed,to say the least. Huge thank you to our friend for suggesting this place,will definitely be going back.

Have heard lots about grumpys and finally got to try it. We went on trivia night and had a great time. We had a big group and all of us were accommodated perfectly on a busy night. The margaritas were great and cheap, and the trivia was a blast. But the best part was the food. Absolutely fantastic food. We got the giant pretzel and the loaded steak fries. We will be back. Only thing I would change is for them to be open during the lunch hour but totally understand.

Adding this place to our list of favorite small town bars! Awesome atmosphere and a large menu full of normal small town bar food mixed with a few interesting (and delicious) food items I have yet to see anywhere else. Food came out pretty quick but wasn’t thrown together sloppily like some places. Very neat and tidy. Lots of seating and very clean; including the quite large bathrooms.
Waitress was nice and explained everything to us. She was also great at keeping our drinks full and asking us if we needed anything while we were there.
100% recommend Grumpy’s!

When food did arrive, it was really good. Finally found a place that makes a rueben like a Jewish deli. My husband had a roast beef sandwich and said beef was tender and flavorful. Place had a nice feel to it. Being strangers in a place where everyone knows everyone else, we were welcomed, with staff being very friendly. Recommend if you are in area. We plan to return.
