The Exchange - Des Moines

Mainly for the guards I don't know that the name is, but I think he's black, he's very big and dancing that I came to this club and he's always very polite and well maintained. I've seen him throw out a lot of people without it coming to steps or intersections. Kudos, who hired him well!

This place is fun! It has the same mood as most of the other Court Ave bars, but its main gimmick is the share of beverage prices. I have no degree in the economy, so I don't know exactly how it works, but the prices of drinks fluctuate in a capacity over the night. I suppose it's an offer/demand thing, but who could know. Either way, fun gimmick and you can definitely drink here.

Beverage prices are therefore based on demand. I've seen Wodka price at $7 and Ciroc at $3,50. The music and atmosphere is very hip, great city feeling. Don't expect to have a conversation in this bar.

The place really needs a new DJ or improves the music selection. Do not understand how to look into the crowd to see that people do not dance and just sway, drilled out their heads. No problems with the service yet, but honestly, it wasn't a funny bar in the last times I left.

The larger bartender with a beard (I won't go into specifics) came from behind the bar and grabbed by my shirt, shoved me through 4 different people ,including some poor girl who fell to the ground, and then threw me to the ground because I misinterpreted their confusing price board. I mistook the discount price for the actual price of the drink and he literally grabbed my drink out of my hand (the only one I got which was from beer can alley) and proceeded to kick me out. This was my first time at Exchange because I heard they had better drink deals. Like I get being upset that I mistook the price but dude didn’t even give me the chance to pull out my card to pay for the actual price. It was so bad the security guy outside had to apologize on behalf of him. Not really sure who talk to about this but this was messed up.
