Mickey's Irish Pub

Free NUTZ! Need I say more. And when DJ Prime is up, request him to play you a song.

Used to come here often for the wings and beer.  The food has gotten progressively worse over the past 6 months.  They did give me free beer on my birthday though, so that was pretty cool.

Happened in here by chance on a trip to des Moines, as it was across the street from the laundrymat. Happened to be a Saturday night on the week of my birthday, which they honor with TEN free drinks. Good drinks, awesome burger, fabulous salt-&-pepper fries, great service.  They did get more crowded as the night progressed, but it never became the type of shoulder-to-shoulder jostling that I got used to at bars in other cities.  They also keep the music at a volume where you can actually talk to the people you're with and not just yell and try to lip read.

(And FWIW, I had to give up after four of my free drinks; I'm too old for 10 any more.)
