El Bait Shop
Des Moines, Iowa
It might sound like a terrific place for fisherman, but trust us: the "bait" sold at El Bait Shop isn't for fish. Instead, it's for adult humans, in the form of 120 beers on tap and over 150 in bottles. The decor is decidedly eclectic, with taxidermied animals, tons of beers signs, and other Americana on the walls, a retro vibe in the dining room and bar area, and a spacious patio. There's a new food menu available should you get hungry, and don't worry if you didn't drive a gas-guzzler in — the place also offers 26 bike racks, making it one of the more cyclist-friendly spots around.
