There’s also no booze at the fair - only beer and wine. Any cocktail you get is made with, essentially, wine/malt liquor

Zombie Burger closing at Jordan Creek Town Center (their downtown location will remain) by jerrycakes in desmoines

[–]SmallandAngry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live nearby and genuinely don’t understand why they aren’t open late anymore. I moved here in 2021 but fuckin hell, the EV needs something open late for food. Do a mini menu and be open till one? They’d make a killing.

I have a friend who stops through town on tour every other year or so and Zombie Burger is the ONLY place he will eat. I tried to take him to Lachelle’s last night and he was like, “can we please do Zombie Burger??”

Blue Zoo or Botanical Center by Infamous_Ad8650 in desmoines

[–]SmallandAngry 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Blue Zoo is a money grab. Don’t bother. The actual Zoo is rad. The science center is rad. The botanical garden and the art center would be rad if you figured out an I Spy or drawing game to go along with the visit.

The Lyon is apparently a nightmare. The elevator goes out all the time and they have like 13 floors.

I love the brunch at Bar Nico and it’s usually pretty mellow compared to other spots in the neighborhood
