When I'm in Des Moines this is my "home away from home."  I've been going here for several years now and this where I look to first when I want to grab a quick bite to eat, or want to unwind with friends.  It's a relaxed, friendly  place where I go when I am trying to stretch a buck to it's maximum potential.  There's not many businesses that I can say were the catalyst for making friends, but this is one of them.
This is still the home for those rabid fans who support Des Moines' local sports teams. Â If you're big on the Barnstormers there's no better place to rally before games or watch them when they are on the road. Â They're the home of the Barnstormers road gamewatch. Â There's a good chance you'll get to see players in here for gameday breakfasts and front office staff and ownership watching the road games on the big screen.
I'm a proud patron of this place. Â I always get excellent service here and a real personal touch. It's not just a bar & grill. They're my friends. Scooter & Bab's you've won me over.
