I am not sure when these people where there last, but I just went and loved it. They have been smoke free since April! The service is above and beyond. Never having to ask for anything. I think our server was a mind reader. She was alway one step ahead of our needs. All her recomedations where spot on!! They were very busy but we did not have to wait for anything and the servers moved around like little worker bees. Made it look so easy. Lots of fun and GREAT beer. We are going agian this weekend! Thank you!

The Court Avenue Brew Pub is a fine place to eat if you don't mind leaving with you and your family smelling like an ashtray. With more and more restaurants in town voluntarily going smoke-free, I will never again take my family to such an unhealthy environment.
Overall this was a good experience except that for a brew pup the beer was terrible. I was very disappointed with the overall experience after trying their labels.
The food is great, the atmosphere is great and the beer is excellent (but don't expect it to taste like Bud Light). One real complaint is a lack of a dinner salad, complimentary bread, etc. before your meal. Any average/upscale restaurant should incl

This is probably my favorite brew pub in Greater Des Moines. The staff is great, the food is excellent, and you can't beat the location. It's a bi-level restaurant and offers numerous pool tables, two bars, and great ambience.

This is a great place to dine Downtown. Great atmosphere...and great food. I've never had bad service here (I've been going here for years).

Pizza wasn't as good as expected - it also had a topping requested to be left off. Sandwich wasn't that good either. Kids weren't impressed, not a lot for them to do, they got bored easily. Food is overpriced for proportion and isn't that great. I'd recommend Rock Bottom 1st and Raccoon River 2nd = better.

The service was poor--brought me the wrong meal twice, and third time it was cold. There was no apology by the service staff or management for the errors. The waiter gave us lunch menus instead of dinner menus so we ordered, and then had to re-order. I will never return there!
