Locust Tap: User Reviews

A Des Moines old-timer!

Locust Tap has been around forever, and you can tell. It has that great, gritty, dive bar feeling. I love all the history that seeps through the autographed walls and tin ceiling. Its a great place to start or end the night. It gets pretty packed, and really isnt too big, so be ready to stand if your not there early. I really love this place!

I have to say Im a bit surprised at the low star rating for The Locust Tap. Its a bit rough around the edges, but has a feeling of revival by the younger crowd that is keeping this old time bar alive. It doesnt have very much seating room, so I prefer to stop in earlier in the night in order for my friends and I to get a table. There is just something about this place that I love-perhaps its the vibes from 70 plus years of imbibers making it their home away from home. If you havent been-stop in for a drink-or 10.

A beloved spot amongst the Juice staff and other zany DM characters, I had to rescue this dive from its 1-star rating. The nights the tap has live music are the bestest.
