Juice MagazineApril 24, 2012In the Village of Ponderosa, enjoy a cocktail at the sleek bar or on the rooftop patio. Wellman's and its Ingersoll bar by the same name were voted 5th in our reader-determined Top 50 Bars. Read more
Bartenders are hot and quick.. love the bouncers but worst djs in West Des Moines. No requests. No rock (..even AC/DC) or country dance.... Bar would be perfect with universal dj! From Iowa- Abdul HakkimDecember 31, 2013A great rooftop that’s perfect for a relaxing evening outside with friends. Plenty of beers on tap and a great place to watch the game. © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc
- Cecilia HarrisMarch 19, 20214-cheese mac was AMAZING! Wings were in point. House Margarita - worth skipping. Get a tap beer. Anything would be better. Good service though.
- Aaron ValleyDecember 23, 2010"Oh, you can get 1 order of the reg. wings for more $ but we're not doing the all you can eat anymore".....despite the fact that several people in our group had ordered the wings and did not get them!
- Juice MagazineJune 12, 2012A popular after-work location on the west side with a beautiful rooftop patio. From 3 to 7 p.m. enjoy $2.50 wells, $3 import draws and $2.50 domestic bottles . Read more
Aaron JohnsonMay 13, 2016Great nachos, especially with steak. Had a Meat Lovers pizza with jalapeño & onions. Fantastic!
Justin EhreckeDecember 27, 2014Make sure to go out on the rooftop! Great place to go after seeing a comedy show- Dj Eric. Ignores respectful requests. Rock music not allowed with him. Yet awesome bartenders. I'm torn. Get a new dj wells
Jacob Van De WeertJuly 23, 2014Patio/rooftop cannot be beaten on a nice night. Solid food and good brew selection.
NickAugust 11, 2012If you want to see what a casting call for jersey shore looks like this is the place to be. "sweet tapout shirt bro, you must be a cage fighter!". D-Bag central.
Ashleigh RaderDecember 8, 2014Did you know they have brunch? Delicious biscuits & gravy, coffee and mimosas
Great place to hit up after work. Grab a beer and apps with co-workers and friends!
Erika LutteneggerDecember 26, 2011Bit of a warehouse, but you can see and be seen. And watch football. And drink beer, so who cares.
Great spot for a quiet, low-key weekend brunch. Open at 11am, not 10am.
there are two smoking sections: the north & south railings on the rooftop
Sit at the bar if you want service it takes 20min to get someone to your table and 10 more to get a beer
Just got kicked to the back of the bus because I was not supposed to be smoking on the roof next to the "general public"
David SvobodaJanuary 21, 2011Great place for lawyers to meet up and talk about negatively worded tips!
If you want to hang out with the tool bags of DM, this is the spot.y
Lando Orange boat skipperAugust 21, 2013Seriously my food came before my beer...4 different waitresses ignored me for 15 minutes
Pay with cash otherwise you might end up with extra charges on your card.
MaryOctober 19, 2011Service sucks, bathrooms are dirty, and they double charge your card. They refunded the chargers so I'm happy about that. Ps- I didn't have to have an open tab for them to add charges after I had
D BkkNovember 17, 2010funny how people say don't open a tab as they charged my cc weeks later for something I never bought.. why was ur tab open in first place??? u really didn't this one through when posting lol ..
Kitchen never gets your orders right. Burgers taste like mush. And they are terribly under staffed on Sundays. Blt not toasted and hot beer glasses
ThomasJuly 25, 2015Expensive. If you were not one of the cool kids in school, you probably won't like it here.
Jessica BormannFebruary 18, 2012Came for lunch. Not kid friendly at all. Nor was the staff friendly.
