Pour Choices Neighborhood Bar — Sports bars in Des Moines

Friday night. The place buzzes with the chatter of locals, all eyes glued to the big screens showing NFL drama. The aroma of wings and fries fills the air, competing with the sound of laughter and cheers. You can feel the camaraderie — a melting pot of regulars, jerseys on, each rooting for their team like it’s the end of the world.

Food & Drinks

The menu here doesn’t just play to the crowd; it knows what they want. Wings come tossed in enough sauce to make your hands slippery — the classic buffalo is a crowd-pleaser, but don’t sleep on the garlic parmesan. Burgers hit the mark; they’re juicy and flavorful, served with a side of crispy fries that look like they’ve been kissed by the fryer gods. Drinks are equally impressive, with a lineup of local brews on tap and cocktails that don’t shy away from the booze. You can enjoy this goodness without breaking the bank — most dishes land in the $10–20 range. Given the 4.4 rating from 524 reviewers, clearly, the regulars keep coming back for a reason.

Location & Access

Pour Choices is right on Grimes Blvd, easily accessible for anyone in Des Moines. It’s near other shops, so grab some snacks or a quick errand before diving into the game. Parking’s usually available, but good luck during peak hours. Getting a table for the Sunday crowd can be a challenge, so think about planning ahead, especially if you roll in with a crew.
