Love This Place!

I visited Des Moines once or twice a year and always make an effort to visit Blazing Saddles. The bartenders are no chill and make a pretty stiff drink for a great price. The locals are friendly and always willing to chat with you while smoking a cigarette. Love this place.

Terrible Bar

Was visiting Des Moines and heard this was the place to go although the general consensus was that all the gar bars sucked. I don't put too much stock in that since most people think their home bars suck. Well they were right!!! Someone must have gone in and sucked all of the testosterone out of this place....allthat was there on a Sat and Sun were queens! I don't think they even check IDs - some of these guys (and I use the word guys VERY loosely) acted like they were 15. On Sunday, besides the queens there were several drunk straight guys - no don't get me wrong, I'm all for a drunk straight guy now and then but not these guys. Way too drunk and way too obnoxious! Save Yourself the pain and just don't go.

not all warm inside

Not a place for a non local. Only the lesbians would give me the time of day they get it.
