On December 12, 2001, local company Full Court Press opened its first downtown establishment, The Royal Mile. Described by the Des Moines Register as “Des Moines’ living room,” the Royal Mile has become the “local” for many people in Des Moines. So cozy up to the fire on a cold autumn day or enjoy their beautiful brick courtyard with friends and family. The Mile has a comfortable atmosphere, great beer selection, and excellent modern and traditional British dishes. The Mile has 28 ales and lagers on draft, over 120 bottled beers, and over 115 single malt Scotches. So raise a pint and a ruckus with your mates at downtown Des Moines’ favorite hangout.
