Beer, Scotch & British-style pub grub served in a casual space with a homey atmosphere.
(1920)

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 comfortable 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.

Did you know? The Prime Minister's residence, 10 Downing Street, is also the residence of the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. In honor of National Cat Day, we feel the need to pay our respects to Larry, the first cat to officially hold the title. In his tenure, he has served through six different British Prime Ministers. Way to go, Larry 🐈‍⬛🎩

Our own cats may not have an official title, but we still love them just the same 🐱

Tonight’s trivia is the purr-fect chance to show off whatever else your brain can cough up. Trivia starts at 8pm every Thursday. It's free to play - No cattitude required.

We'll meet you (upstairs) at The Mile 👑

Ever spotted something on the menu you’ve somehow overlooked? Perhaps a sandwich that deserves a little more of your attention? Meet the Gubbins Chicken sandwich. A crispy fried chicken breast topped with a spicy Colman's mustard cream sauce on a brioche bun. You can thank us later.

Did you know? The term "gubbins" is actually an informal British term for odd and ends, bits and bobs, and other unidentified gizmos. When used in reference to cooking, it typically refers to a sauce made with spicy or sharp hot mustard and sour cream, normally served alongside chicken, drumsticks, or grilled meats.

See what other "gubbins" you can pick up tonight! Trivia starts at 8pm every Thursday. It's free to play and open to all.

Some people meditate. Some people journal. Some people spend a small fortune on wellness routines.

We like to take everything with a pint of perspective... and a proper pint.

We're not saying Guinness solves all your problems. We're simply saying it's an excellent place to start.

We'll meet you at The Mile 👑
