Amazing drinks, awesome staff. The Transylvanian Absinthe Service was fun and informative. Bonus props to whoever changed the music to Gutrectomy at closing time! I'll never forget that! Will definitely revisit when I'm back in Des Moines! (From Lincoln, NE)

An Absolute Must for Horror Fans – A Spirited Night at The Haunt

If you're a fan of all things spooky, eerie, and deliciously macabre, The Haunt is your new favorite haunt—literally. This place is what happens when a horror movie marathon and a top-tier cocktail bar have a devilish little baby.

From the moment you step inside, you're transported into a cinematic nightmare—in the best way possible. It’s got the immersive vibe of a haunted house, but with way better drinks. And here's where it gets even better: if you're a key holder, you can receive invite-only events that take this already thrilling experience to another level.

Whether you're a horror junkie, a cocktail connoisseur, or just someone who loves a good time with a spooky twist, The Haunt is a hell of a good time. Five stars, no question—this bar doesn’t just raise spirits, it...

There should definitely be more reviews about the service here. I’ve gone a couple times now and the service is awful. Bartenders are honestly rude but not in a fun way lol one is hot so that’s cool. It’s cool to have these weird games & puzzles - but idk if the customer service could turn it up a bit id actually like to play the games. Also there needs to be MUSIC playing. Not haunting ghouls lmao play some dark synth, nu wave or metal & I promise people will stick around longer. Also for an expensive cocktail 60% of them are really difficult to drink. I genuinely love the concept and dig the quirkiness but when it comes down to it - treat your patrons...

An extremely well thought out spooky bar with amazing themed drinks and service. You wouldn’t think it when you first walk down the staircase that leads to everything, but once you do, you’re greeted with laughter, life, amazing drinks and just a genuinely good place to kill some time or spend the night at. This is my favorite bar in Des Moines and favorite bar...
