Eric Larsen of Kansas City samples one of several different kinds of beer brewed at the Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery in West Des Moines. Larsen, who works for an advertising agency, was in town on business. (Register File Photo)
Rock Bottom is a typical brewpub - dark inside with huge tanks of beers brewing within view of the dining areas. Grab a beer at the bar during happy hour or head there with a large group for a weekend dinner. Portions are huge and hearty - dishes like chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes fill the menu. Rock Bottom's kitchen closes between 10:30 and 11:30 every night but you can order off its late menu after that. There is a billiards room available for reservation and at least six TVs are visible from the bar area.
