THE ORIGINAL
Located in the Historic East Village of Des Moines, ’85 Bar is where it all began. A bar at its core, focused on great drinks, cold beer, and a laid-back atmosphere.
Home of the Mini Beer. A staple of the East Village.
We’re a bar first, built for good drinks, cold beer, and a space that feels right whether you’re stopping in for a Mini Beer or staying for the night.
Chicago-style hot dogs done right, a steady lineup of go-to drinks, and the Mini Beer that put us on the map, ’85 is part of the rhythm of the East Village.
Drinks, Dogs
& East Village Nights.
