Waveland Tap
4704 University Ave, Des Moines, IA
Crema's Take
“This cozy neighborhood bar in the Waveland area has earned genuine loyalty from locals who keep coming back for the friendly bartenders, great conversations, and welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for catching up with friends or family. While you won't find food here, the cold beers, jukebox tunes, and that authentic dive bar atmosphere create the kind of place where you feel like a regular from your first visit. It's the sort of spot that celebrates its community—rowdy enough to be fun, but with bartenders who know how to keep things in check.”

Has been one of my all time favorites for a local bar! Don’t get there enough! Love the bar and most everyone in it 😜 See ya tomorrow!!!
Went here fishing for white girls. Was not disappointed, I caught 3 on 8 lb line using a can of nutrl as bait. I love this place.
A nice little bar. Great conversations. Friendly bartenders but they'll kick you out if you're trouble. Loud music on the Touchtunes / jukebox. 5 overhead flat-screen TVs. No food served but chips are available for purchase. Might even see an occasional Amishman come in and sell baked goods.. Pool table for those so inclined. Nice little place. Come on down to sit at the bar and read a book.
Cold Beer perfect place for local Rats ! To have fun. Bartender showed me somehow that he is tempermental and Tough guy as well. Just from serving me a beer. Not Sure why all that was necessary.
Nice ,cozy , place ! Friendly people, this was my first time there my daughter - in - law and I decided to check it out as I'm new to des moines and just moved to waveland area , glad we stopped in & I'll be back again. !!!
