Royal Mile

Royal Mile Beer, Scotch & British-style pub grub served in a casual space with a homey atmosphere.
(1926)

On December 12, 2001 local company Full Court Press opened their first (but certainly not last) downtown establishment, The Royal Mile. Described by the Des Moines Register as “Des Moines’ living room”, the Royal Mile has become the “local” for many people in Des Moines. Cozy up to the fire on a cold autumn day or enjoy our beautiful brick courtyard with friends and family. The Mile has a comforta

ble atmosphere, great beer selection, and wonderful modern and traditional British dishes. The Mile has 28 ales and lagers on draft, over 120 bottled beers and over 115 single malt Scotches. So raise a pint and a ruckus with your mates at downtown Des Moines’ favorite hangout. And don’t forget the Red Monk upstairs – Central Iowa’s only Belgian bar.

This is your weekly reminder to join us for trivia tonight at 8PM!

Come for the questions, and stay for the completely unnecessary arguments about curry. For example, would you consider the national dish of England to be Fish & Chips or Chicken Tikka Masala? Come debate about it over a pint.

We'll meet you at The Mile.
