Menu

As soon as we have an overview of dishes and drinks for Shag's from Des Moines, we will publish it here. In the meantime, feel free to check out the menus in the surrounding area.

Packed with energy, this compact nightlife spot offers professional DJs, friendly bartenders and bottle service amid a clean, well-managed atmosphere. It's a solid choice for groups seeking dancing and a lively night out, but guests should beware inconsistent cover charges and reports of weak drinks, cramped space and lapses in security — including theft and slow managerial follow‑up. Overall: exciting for parties, cautious for solo visitors and event attendees.

Was Pablo Picasso at Shag's a mag?
I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant! I ordered bottle service, and it made for a wonderful night. The atmosphere was lively, the music was excellent, and I truly enjoyed my time there. View all feedback.

What Demarcus Ankunding dislikes about Shag's:
Wanted to charge $5 cover. We wanted to tell our friends in the place we'd be back. Flagged them. Chatted for a min. Went to the ATM directly downstairs. Less than 5 min later came back up dude tried to charge $10 person. Naw. Miss me. Went elsewhere spent money on drinks. Djs play mixed music that is not easy to dance to. And the drinks aren't strong. View all feedback.
