Gas Lamp

Gas Lamp is Des Moines' quintessential bar-next-door and a favorite joint among locals and those in the know. One of the most happening spots for live music in the city, the stage sees local bands and emerging talent cover blues, country, folk, and alternative rock among a host of other genres. Grab a pint and enjoy weekly open jam nights. Gas Lamp is unpretentious and has a certain old-world, charm to it. Dimly lit with only a hint from LED signs, the decor features wall-mounted animal heads, exposed brick walls, an intricate ceiling, and funky graffiti art.
