Reviews of The Garden Nightclub (Night Club)

Kayla Shackelford

The Garden is a magical place. You won't be disappointed.

Caroline Marin

Worst place ever. The place doesn’t seem clean.

Fabulous drag show and great place to hang out with friends

Kenneth Lutgen

I would prefer it if someone from the garden who’s a member of management got ahold of me. I have two ways they can do it, Kenneth Janeway is my Facebook page or if someone wants to send me a message asking for my number to call that too would be nice

Everyone is super friendly, employees and customers alike. Great drag shows. All around good place to be.

The Garden is Awesome! Plenty to do and see and enjoy

Mack Dadi

Great show and had a lot of fun with friends interacting with people and drinks were not playing around!

When walking in here I felt a little skeptical as the place was very dark, and I usually prefer a well lit, bright feeling atmosphere. However upon entering the door hosts were so very pleasant. As we continued to go into the club we made it to a very spacious room filled with dance floors and fun lighting to have a good night with. The bartenders were attentive and polite. I absolutely loved spending my evening here and will be back the next time I'm in the area!

The amount of people vaping and smoking cigarettes indoors during Pride tonight was atrocious. Not only could I. Surely breathe, when I alerted staff to the issue they told me to keep moving and stop causing issues or I was out. We grabbed our friends and dumped our drinks and left. We won’t be coming back ever and nor will we be recommending this place to our friends coming down later. Absolutely unacceptable to be treated by staff in that manner. Horrible bar and horrible smelling atmosphere. Shame on the owners for not hiring better staff that respect patrons.

The Time Burton Burlesque Show was freaking amazing! It was wonderful and you could tell the performers put such hard work in to their acts. The vibe of the place was awesome, inclusive and welcoming/relaxing and the performers were so NICE!

Still the BEST dance bar in Iowa! Come see the gorgeous new Show Lounge! Credit cards are accepted here.

Great club vibe! Love going here on busy nights. It’s setup is perfect! The owners and staff are friendly. Great patio area. The dance area was a little weird setup for my vibe. I think they should move the tables and chairs after the show for people to have an actual dance setup. It’s not really that busy that often. Plus, there’s a cover and the drinks are weak.

A good local bar option for dancing, drag shows and general good times.

The only unpleasant experience was the gentleman at the counter just inside the door . We had a large bachelorette party and he was rude on the way in (insulted the party organizer in front of a crowd saying she couldn't do math) and rude on the way out (we lost money in the photo booth and he rudely exclaimed it's not his job nor his problem). Otherwise, once past the doors, a very fun place to be with multiple rooms... made it feel like walking into another room was walking into another bar (club/dancing scene, performance room with stage, and Bar).

I'm straight and had a lot more fun there than the other clubs. Went with my gay brother. Will never forget that night. Had my first ever dance battle.

Bar service is slow, fairly priced drinks, not necessarily a place to go dancing. The dj spins are garbage: the tempo was all over the place and kinda ruined the atmosphere. The floor would go from full to empty— that happens when you go from Top 40 to Annie Lennox.

Selah McDaniels

There are several levels to the Garden and multiple areas to get drinks, dance, and sit.

Justine Blanchard

Love this place. People are amazing. Shows are fantastic! Drinks are awesome!!

Matthew Ponder

This is a cool bar. There is was a cover fee but it was worth the price. Dancing, shows, and a nice patio are all great attractions. I recommend this bar for all people.

Cory Noel

So much fun! Drink prices were average for Des Moines. Clean bar, clean restroom. The music was a little bit of everything from country, rock, rap, oldies remixed. Fun dancing music! And it must be the place to go for your bachelorette party. There were 2 other bachelorette parties besides our group. Lots of fun!

Robert Atzeni

I was clueless. Then figured it out when approached. I'm Not Gay not that there's anything wrong with it. 2 strong drinks and was use to Vegas shows and did enjoy what I saw but to many close encounters I think my friends played a joke on me.Its been 40 years that I been in a club like this . Still in all had a great time .

Robert Losee

Rusty is the best .

Nicolas Estrada

Great parties but better on Saturdays, some drag performances are good but sometimes the same and they can make it better definitely, cocktails aren't strong but we'll mixed, nice people

Nadia Galvan

Absolutely love the local talent. And what more can I say about our QUEENS? FABULOUS

Donna Hinojosa

My get away when all seems lost! Love the place and everything about it!

Aleah Davis

Kyle von Johnson
