Here's a Des Moines-area restaurant, selected at random:
■ TGI Friday's (3340 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines)
Or, if that doesn't do it for you, here are two more:
■ Hessen Haus (101 - 4th Street, Des Moines)
■ Qdoba (10201 University Avenue, Clive)
There's also the Urban Spoon slot machine app.
And here may be a healthier option:

Here's a bar with a patio:
■ Hessen Haus
Here's a sports bar:
■ Legends (50th and Mills Civic)
