Nice bar
Nice bar always a good crowd. Very friendly people in the bar. Very busy on Friday and Saturday nights.. Cheap drinks. Careful, drinks are VERY strong.
Great Fun Bar
I would have to say - I would ride in the Saddle any time I visit Des Moines. Great staff they really looked after me, fun and interesting crowd, drinks are cheap (compared to at home).
Not Quite Latin Nite
GayCities describes it as a levi/leather bar, but it's hardly that. We went on a Thursday or "Latin" night, and while the music was in Spanish, there were not many Latino/as there. Everyone who *was* there seemed to be having fun, and it was definitely a mixed crowd. The drinks are cheap ($2 for ANY bottle of beer? Yes, please!) and strong (every cocktail is a double), which can make even the smallest, dingiest bar look great.
its a great place to meet and dance your night away.
THE Place to party in Des Moines!
We have been going to Des Moines for over 20 years and Blazing Saddles is always packed with fun and friendly people.
