The cave is an excellent local establishment specializing in natural wines, I had the pleasure of stopping in to try an "orange wine" today which was excellent. Nick, the owner, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. He helped me make a selection from their impressive collection of worldwide natural wines. They have a nice varied menu with small bites and serve larger meals on Fridays as well. Additionally there is excellent live music often. If you're into natural wines, or just like wine, or even a cheese plate and some excellent jazz on vinyl, stop on in! I recently had the pleasure of revisiting. If anything the selection is larger, and my experience even better than before. Strongly recommended.

One of the best places, in Central Iowa. The vibe is fantastic, especially, when live music is playing. I only have had one bad experience, at this place, which occurred today. I asked, with a smile on my face, if the bartender was “grumpy”. He disagreed he was grumpy. He closed my tab and did not allow me to give him (as well as his deserving and wonderful colleague) a tip. By the way, I directly gave her a tip. I am the grumpy one now. Lol. Pro tip: Be hesitant, before asking whether a bartender is grumpy!

We found this place about a year ago, and it has become about a weekly stop for us. Their “natural” wine selections are always clever, thought out and always good! They also have great menu of bar snacks, annd the owner Nick’s inhouse/fresh baguettes are probably the best you’ll find in town. The decor/atmosphere is also very inviting a a bright Sunday Funday as well as an intimate evening date spot. We love the place so much we even had some of our family pictures taken there. La Cave!

The Cave is the kind of place you can go to after work and let the dust settle. They have an excellent selection of organic wines, and the food is a perfect touch to go with it. The owners are absolutely amazing. As the saying goes, do something you love and you will never work a day in your life. That is the kind of passion you will find here. I can not leave this review without mentioning that if you love Jazz then this is also a great spot for you. Live music is a HUGE attraction in Des Moines and this is a great spot to find some amazing live Jazz with fantastic musicians. I live in Lincoln Nebraska, and anytime I am in Des Moines this is a must go spot....

The Cave is such a lovely place! My friends and I got to meet the owner and he was so sweet! My friends and I needed a place to sit for a bit because we were overstimulated, and the owner was generous enough to open the place for us for a bit. The lighting is beautifully light with a romantic twist to it. The atmosphere made you feel right at home. My friends and I can’t drink wine yet but we all agreed that it is what a perfect date would be located at. The music, the walls, the art, the hospitality, the soothing home-like feel!! I am amazed at how wonderful the place is! 10/5 stars! I highly recommend this place. It is truly a hidden gem...
