Bellhop

Had a great experience here. Wasn't busy when we went. Bartender gave us great suggestions. Overall a great atmosphere. The unique drinks were delicious as well.

Bellhop has great tiki drinks, very good drinks- well presented and the folks making the drinks are awesome but it’s not a tiki bar. Ambiance is more of a cool beach vibe with club music. The crowd is hip and trendy. It’s a fun place to grab drinks with friends. Of the three places that brands itself as a tiki bar in Des Moines, Bellhop is the best overall.

A group of 4 of us went to bellhop around 11pm. We stayed, drank and spent loads of money there all night. One of the individuals in the friend group was pregnant and only drinking Pepsi. When it was minutes from closing time, their bouncer/buss boy came around just as our pregnant friend was getting up to go use the restroom before we left. This employee said the bathroom is closed and then insulted her by saying she was drinking while pregnant. When she rightfully put him in his place and told him to watch his mouth on what he doesn't know, not even an apology, he just doubled down. without this experience, the night was great. However, since this happened, I will not be returning to Bellhop. Maybe consider hiring security with some emotional maturity

The bartenders here are extremely friendly and eager to make suggestions if you don't really know what you want. The drinks were spectacular. I especially love the vibe of the place!

They were quick to seat us and friendly. I learned I dislike margaritas but not their fault. Tequilas are just not my thing I guess. The bar tender mixed me a mystery mule as they weren't on the menu and it was delicious. I left a tip for the good drink. I'd go back with friends.

Bellhop has some great tiki drinks, but as another reviewer noted, it’s not a traditional tiki vibe - I’d describe it as modern exotica. A younger crowd as well. We had great service and there’s some pyrotechnics with at least one drink 🔥 😁

If you are looking for a tiki bar with the kindest and skilled bartenders, a cheerful and happy ambience, oh and great drinks… look no further! Trey and Drew were wonderful and helped me choose a couple great cocktails to try. A great spot with plenty of seating and a great menu that will keep you coming back!
