DES MOINES BIERGARTEN
Willkommen im Des Moines Biergarten! Set among the mature trees of Water Works Park, Des Moines Biergarten is a family-friendly popup German-themed beer garden offering steins of beer and German inspired eats.
We're open Wednesday through Sunday every week through to Fall.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Get a flavor of Bavaria in Des Moines! Since the 19th century, biergartens have been a staple of Munich. Traditionally, steins of beer have been enjoyed on picnic tables shaded by trees. We're bringing that German experience to Des Moines and have partnered with Water Works Park for a pop-up experience. We offer local and German brews, German-inspired eats like hotdogs and pretzels, live music and yard games.
WHERE TO FIND US
Every Wednesday to Sunday May-October, you can find us east of the Lauridsen Amphitheater under the tree canopy in Water Works Park. We're just off the bike trail and there's plenty of parking to the south. Restrooms and a natural playscape for kids are also nearby.
Opening times:
Wednesday-Sunday | Noon til 9pm (depending on weather)
