nice place for a relaxing time, and the music is really beast

Vaudeville is pretty neat. It reminds me of a smaller Wooly's kind of. The bar runs along one side, then there's a very open area in front of the stage. They have an upstairs with some tables for seating, as well. The bathrooms are located behind the stage area so you have to walk backstage essentially to get to them. It kinda feels like you're a rockstar as you make your way up there. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the quality of the sound operator. My boyfriend has played here a couple times with his band. Anyhow the bartender is great, and the bar area is cool with a bunch of string lights up. Makes for a pretty Instagram backdrop. Vaudeville usually books pretty new (or young) bands so they allow folks under 21 until like 9pm or something. It's a good venue to check out - especially if you know someone who is playing there.

It's not the best bar in town, but it's got a decent beer selection, and they are a great place for local, and unsigned bands to play. They always have a show, and every band I know had played here at last once. Plus cool atmosphere, and bartenders are good. Definitely worth checking out

One of the best venues in Des Moines. I've seen some amazing bands here that have grown vastly in popularity since they played here. Great small venue that always brings in good acts.
