The old retro sign was the draw. We spotted it from Tacopocolypse and said we should check it out. We went to a few local pubs and stopped in.
Really cool graffiti all over the walls. The place was filled with a disproportionate amount of women and then it dawned on me. The rainbow tap also hinted what I had concluded.
Overall we had a blast. All the patrons were engaging and fun.

Locust Tap is everything you want in a dive bar. Graffiti on the walls, snarky but very efficient bar tenders, and often a strange beer + musty smell. Draws a very diverse crowd, which is one of the best things about it. There are only a few booths, so grab one if you see one open. Pool table is rough but serviceable. They’ve got a good variety of music on the digital jukebox, which they play loud.

Worst service. So rude. I tried to hand them my money and they refused service because I looked at them wrong or something or was just dressed too nice for the establishment, i am not sure. Place is a sunk cost business funded by the workers daddy or something. i Get the whole dive bar experience but even the Men’s bathroom urinal sprays you because the pipe is broken and literally just hangs their barely making contact with the ceramic fixture. Needs to be shutdown by government services asap. DISGUSTING PLACE AND EMPLOYEES!

Holy shit the king of dive bars. No mistake, this is a no frills craphole bar. Expect strong drinks and sloppy beers. Crooked tables and graffiti on the pool
pretense.

This is what a dive bar should be: Cheap, dirty, and lots of character.
Come here, bring your low expectations, and make a friend or two.

We stopped in on an awkward night. Beer from the tap was far warmer than it should have been and everyone in the place was, including us, was wearing far too few clothes for the weather outside. Yet they would shut the door or turn up the heat. Warm-ish beers plus too cold air was not a good combo.
I like what Locust Tap is doing though. Simple and authentic. No frills. So although our visit was ho-hum, it wasn’t bad. It was just … Off. We’ll give it another go on a warmer day or when we’re properly dressed to drink beers from their cooler.

Whatever. It’s a ‘dive bar’. I get it.
Started my visit with with a red solo cup of a local beer and admired the graffiti on the wall. Then the bar staff changed over. The new chick was more interested in doing shots with her friends than taking care of the paying customers. I didn’t feel like waiting another 10 minutes for a can of PBR, so I left.

By definition it’s hipster cool, but the reality is, this place is not far from condemnation for a myriad code violations. The fact that you feel as if you are standing on the deck of a sinking ship makes the charm and vertigo hard to beat. That urinal puck smell is definitely bringing them in by the truckloads, too. If you really want a $ 2 can of bad beer, try the grocery store, there are plenty to choose from.
Not a huge fan of bars in general, but this place was what a friend called a «sinkhole» and he wasn’t joking. Quite literally, in fact. I would guess you’ll read about this place in the paper or see it on the evening news in the future, probably for one of the bathrooms swallowing a patron whole.
Plenty of decent «dive» bars in DSM if that’s what tickles your pickle, so unless you are already drunk or lost, do yourself a favor and try to find one of those other places.

This is one of the most ultimate dive bars in all of Des Moines! They play loud music, have cheap beer, the booths are falling apart, and the walls are covered in graffiti.
So I kinda love it. You can get a can of cheap beer for 2 bucks and meet fascinating locals at any hour of the day!
This is one of the, if not the, oldest surviving bar in Des Moines and it has a rich history in the ever changing scene of the East Village of down town Des Moines! If you dig dive bars hit this place up!

If anything, go here to see the prosthetic leg hanging near the door.
And if you can get past the fact that this place smells like a men’s restroom, then sit back, relax and have some $ 2 PBR. You will surely be entertained when reading the walls, along with seeing panties displayed behind the bar area.
Neat.

Definition of a dive bar, in the best way possible. The staff are all awesome, pool table, and the music selection is something hard to beat.

So so.
Lots of bar flies. Probably too many.
The live music is always awful and something to avoid at all costs, especially due to the size of the place.

The Tap is very cozy… great service and good music on the jukebox. Definitely check it out

A true dive. Good music, pool table in back, $ 2 Shlitz in a can. It certainly beats the hotel bar.

This place has graffiti on the walls and has a certain ambiance.
