At The High Life Lounge, located right inside El Bait Shop in Des Moines, you’ll discover a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that embraces the charm of a classic neighborhood bar. With a price range that’s easy on the wallet, this American eatery boasts an impressive beer selection and delightful comfort food favorites. Open late for those after-hours cravings, it’s perfect for groups, tourists, or a casual solo meal. While the lively crowd can sometimes get a bit loud, friendly service and unique dishes—like the scrumptious bacon-wrapped tater tots—make every visit memorable.
I recently visited The High Life Lounge, and what a treat! 🍻 The beer selection is absolutely insane - seriously, the wall of taps is a sight to behold. I had the spam egg and cheese sandwich, which was delicious, paired perfectly with the incredible bacon-wrapped tater tots!
The vibe is nostalgic with a cozy, casual atmosphere that feels like stepping into a friend's basement. Our waitress was super friendly and helped make our night even better. Just a heads up, it can get a bit loud, but that’s part of the charm! I can't wait to go back for another late-night bite! 🌟
