Hello fanatics, I looked through 13 pages of old off topic threads and couldn't find my answer so here goes.
I want to give a Christmas gift to sister and BIL (early 30s, two kids under 4). They don't get out much recently but they live near Ankeny. I'm thinking a gift card to a restaurant/brewery that was within walking distance of some entertainment.
What does Des Moines/Ankeny/Ames area offer for quality breweries, restaurants, shows etc? They've probably been to several of the usual stops and they're not much for the Court Ave college bars.
Sorry I don't have a lot of specifics, but that might help keep options open. For his 30th bday we took a group to the Iowa Taproom and he loved it. Great beer/food, but that was all we did. I don't remember what's near there for entertainment so I was hoping for some suggestions.
Thanks!
