Des Moines Guide
Des Moines, Iowa has a real match-day crowd. No club in Des Moines plays in a league we list today, so fans here watch the NFL, the NBA and European soccer rather than a hometown side. Bars fill on NFL Sundays and for big European fixtures.
Downtown holds the largest group of venues. Greater South Side and Merle Hay add neighborhood rooms with a local crowd. Nearby West Des Moines adds more rooms.
Des Moines uses Central Time. European matches start in the morning, so check the listings for early openings on weekends. Use the filters to find big screens, sound on and outdoor seating.
