The Royal Mile: Downtown Des Moines' Authentic British Pub Experience

Nestled in the heart of downtown Des Moines at 210 4th Street, The Royal Mile stands as the city's premier British pub, offering an authentic taste of the UK right in Iowa's capital. This cozy bar and grill has become a beloved destination for locals and visitors seeking traditional pub grub, an impressive scotch selection, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like stepping into a genuine English tavern.

The Royal Mile's menu showcases classic British fare that keeps Des Moines diners coming back for more. Their fan-favorite sandwich, The Earl, pairs perfectly with a pint of Smithwicks, while the traditional Fish & Chips delivers crispy, golden perfection.
