Royal Mile

4.6

About this business

With an extensive variety of beers bottled and on tap, and a diverse crowd to match, Royal Mile is one of Des Moines' favorite bars. The decor is reminiscent of an old English pub with a dark wooden interior and outside patio seating, but the crowd is lively and filled with eccentric regulars. There's also a better-than-average menu featuring such unbeatable bar snacks as fish and chips and Scottish eggs. If you love beer with a slice of English pub life on the side, Royal Mile is your place.

Royal Mile is my favorite discovery in Des Moines. I originally went in because I saw an article about their fish and chips in Juice but it is so much better than that. British food, an extensive four page long beer list and a unique and comfortable ambiance round the place out. The staff is also pretty fantastic. If you only eat one thing there, make it the poutine.

I haven't eaten upstairs in years although I've been on the lower level often. Upstairs is fun - the ambiance is completely different than the lower level but just as fun. Also, the kitchen is upstairs, so you get to marvel at the waitresses carrying heavy trays down the long stairway. I like the pot pie. Unlike mine when I make it at he, theirs is served in a thick pasty - it's unlike anything I've had anywhere else and oh so good. The brunch is 5 stars, too. Great place since '01.
