Big Grove Brewery, a local chain that started in Iowa City, has always thought big. The restaurant is known for its sprawling outdoor patio seating, its huge beer selection, and its massive portions of Iowa comfort food and innovative specials. However, the restaurant’s new branch in Des Moines has taken “big” to a whole new level – in fact, it’s the largest restaurant in Iowa! With a total seating capacity of 850 people between its huge dining room and its massive outdoor seating, it’s got enough space to pack in just about everyone who wants a taste of the brewery’s signature suds, along with whatever’s on the seasonal menu today. So head to 17th street and join what’s turning into the biggest party in Iowa at the newest outpost of Big Grove Brewery!
