Des Moines Knows a Good Time When It Finds One — That's Us.

Not Just Another Spot on Grand Ave.

Pal Joey's Lounge wasn't built to fill a gap in the Des Moines nightlife — it was built because the city deserved a place that actually listens to what its people want. A place where the morning pour-over is as thoughtfully made as the evening old-fashioned.

We opened our doors on Grand Avenue with one simple belief: great drinks don't need a dress code, and good company doesn't need an excuse. Whether you're grabbing a coffee between meetings or settling in with a cocktail after hours, this is your lounge.

Every detail — from the lighting to the music to the way a glass lands on your table — is designed to make you feel like you're exactly where you're supposed to be.
