The Keg Stand 3530 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266

"This place is gone to the dogs. Steak night was awesome but it's a sad little deal now. The website is non existent and so no more QR code menus! Prices are going up and up, the staff of YEARS are almost all gone. Don't support this place as it is!!!!"

"I am a regular at this bar and come here often. I usually love this place and love the things they have and serve. But tonight was a complete 180 for me. I met the owner. He was very drunk and did not know what personal space was! I feel my family and friends were specially targeted by this man. I don’t want to be that person to bring race up but we were the only Asians in there and he did not leave us alone all night. We were having a great night until he randomly just came and sat at our table in silence and stared at us. We said hey hi are you ok? Just trying to talk to him and greet him as anyone would. But he just was drinking his beer and staring at us and trying to take our drinks and cups away. We said no these are not done yet. He sat with us for a good 10-15 minutes just staring at us, and we felt very uncomfortable cause he did not say anything so we gradually one by one switched tables. At the time he was sitting at our table, he was trying to rub up one of my friends backs and she just said stop and ran away instantly. Additionally, the bartender came and sat at our table to check on us cause she was also confused to why that “owner” guy was sitting here snd she was asking if we were ok cause she knew he was off also and she was trying to get him to leave our table. She checked up on us often and we appreciate her for it. After we were trying to move tables, he went up to another friend of mine and just stood inches away from her staring at her and asking her if “she’s ok” but was weirdly asking making her feel extremely uncomfortable she “SOS” texted us and she ran to the bartender to tell her what he was saying and doing making her feel uncomfortable and guarded. We decided to play pool instead to get away from him, and he came over AGAIN!! he doesn’t just stand close and around us, he literally stands inches next to or behind us we can feel him breathing on us. I said do you need something? He just shook his head walked away. Then when bar was closing, we were waiting for our friends to finish using the restroom, so we played a claw machine and ONCE AGAIN he comes up standing RIGHT BEHIND my friends breathing down her neck not saying a word. So I said “you are standing right behind my friend, we need personal space” and he literally looked at me and waved his hands like “no im not” and I said “yes you are my friends are now moving away cause of you” so he just waived his hands some more and crossed his hands and doesn’t say a word and moved to stand right next to ME doing the same thing he’s been doing all night so my friends and I all rushed out. BUT I came back seconds later to talk to the workers which was a gentleman and I said who is that guy and what’s his problem? He said I’m so sorry we been trying to get him to leave he’s very drunk and he’s the owner and it’s under new management. Like what the heck!! I don’t care if he’s the owner or the president he shouldn’t be harassing us all night. after tonight, I do not recommend this place at all because if he’s doing this to customers, and targeting us, what else is he doing and I hope he treats his employees better cause they have been great and trying to help us all night but this guy “owner” thinks he can just walk all over the place and breathe down our necks whenever he wants? That’s not right and I wished we would have done more about it but we really just wanted to get out of there by the end of the night."

"I dig this place. I haven't been there much this winter, but they had a pretty good steak special last time I was there. I think it's on Mondays. Regardless, they've got a lot of games, darts, pool, etc. The staff always did pretty well for me, but I don't expect restaurant service, I get busy playing, and I don't notice if they're slow or not. The servers are super nice."

"3rd time in for steak night with each time an issue has occurred. Used to be decent service and a great steak. Now it’s either they are always out of steak, not prepared to temp asked, or tonight no service at all with terrible music blaring in the restaurant you can’t even hear yourself think. Waited 10-15 min and no one even greeted us. It wasn’t even busy so a greeting would have been fine if they were in the weeds but they didn’t even do that. I tried asking the bartender if there was going to be floor service and couldn’t even hear myself think so when he asked “what?” I just left. What’s going on keg stand? Get it together."

"Great bartender, great cook. The wings are amazing and the Keg Fries were a feast to remember. Have been back 3 or 4 times.. happen to hit in Karaoke Friday for Cinco de Mayo 2023... What a great group of people!!! Obviously support each other and they are very entertaining. I don't know anyone in the competition... Yet... But had a very enjoyable time. I love the atmosphere... I am a newbie at the bar as well as Karaoke night but dayum!!!! Had a great time. Everyone is fantabulous P.S... the bartenders are constantly slinging drinks and still being personable . A feat not not many can handle.. great job... I'll be back to support the entertainment and staff."
