About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for business meals
THE COURTYARD IS OPEN!! Mulberry Street Tavern brings a fresh yet nostalgic vibe to Downtown Des Moines. Once a hub for the city transit, it is now adorned with rich woods, leather, and a zinc bar that create a warm and timeless social destination. The open-hearth kitchen produces shareable worldly tavern fare, hearty entrees and, hands down, the best burger in Des Moines. Looking for something..... well, more? How about a 12oz bison ribeye or hand made pappardelle with short rib ragout. Enjoy perfect classic cocktails, eclectic award-winning wines, and interesting regional and foreign beers on draught. As we are a quaint eatery, we do not accept reservations for more than six guests.

    Place was great. Food was fantastic. Dish selection goes from simple and home like to exquisite and rare . Every dish had a unique twist in taste as well as layout. Price was fair. For unique dish you pay more for simple dish you pay less. Very fair and proper in cost evaluation. Staff were simply fantastic. We didn’t have to wait long for food. It was prepared rather quickly. The waiter was enthusiastic and very kind. He made us laugh a couple of times with his attitude and behavior. Very nicely done. I highly recommend.

    We had a reservation we were a few minutes late but let them know and we had to wait 45 for our table. The server was great but service was slow and the whole evening dragged out much later than we wanted.

    Another great dining experience here! Our service was phenomenal from the front of house, to the bartender, and our server. The food was perfect. We keep saying this is our favorite restaurant because the food is always great and the whole experience is top notch. Their new beautiful patio is open now and we can’t wait to come back and sit out there.

    Food was very good. Had Bison Rib Eye and wife had the Salmon. Cocktails were so-so. Martini's were small and overpriced. Ambiance was nice. Prices were a little over the top for what you get. Still haven't found a better upscale dining experience in Des Moines than Cooper's Hawk in Clive. Overall Mulberry was good experience

    Had date night with my wife. The food was perfectly prepared, and all the flavors were too notch. Our server, Andre, was fantastic. He offered several suggestions, had a lovely personality, and quickly corrected a minor error we had with our order. It was a bit loud once the dinner rush started, but that overall didn't affect our mood. I would recommend eating here for a date night.
