Madeline & Grant
Schedule of Events
Peggy's Tavern
The local Drake dive bar. Grant and I even rekindled our love in the Peggy's tent back in 2015! So many memories. If you have an eagle eye I challenge you to find my dollar bill on the ceiling!
The Iowa Taproom
If you're looking for a yummy dinner & lots of Iowa beer the Friday evening before the wedding - The Iowa Tap Room is the place for you!
The Republic on Grand
Go to the Republic for a fancy rooftop drink - a great place to hang before the wedding!
St. Kilda
Our favorite cafe and bakery shop in DSM! Grant & I loved walking here when I lived downtown because it was only a block away from my place. Make sure to ask about "The Saint" - the BEST breakfast sandwich.
Drake Diner
A classic diner feel & Madeline's favorite college cafe in Drake neighborhood!
Hessen Haus
Get a boot and share with your friends! German food & beer choices galore!
Gateway Market
Grant & I LOVE Gateway! Our frequent spot for grabbing something quick and offers options for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Gateway also has a great wine selection and a small market if you are in need of groceries!
Fong's Pizza
Have you ever had Crab Rangoon, General Tso's Chicken, or Street Taco Pizza? Yeah, that's what we thought - try it out and you will not be disappointed!
Bellhop Tiki Lounge
Bellhop is the cutest little Tiki bar! Escape the cool fall weather - this tiki bar will make you think you are in Hawaii!
Zombie Burger + Drink Lab
The best burgers + boozy ice cream shakes. Seriously. Need we say more?
Smokey Row Coffee
Smokey Row is the best coffee shop in DSM if you're asking Grant & I. Smokey Row is a staple of Grant & I's childhood - Smokey Row was THE "cool" place in Pella, Iowa (town of 10k where Grant & I grew up) and the coffee shop expanded to DSM. Anyway - I love the good morning bagel, and Grant is a big fan of the cheeseburger chowder. Check it out!
