Royal Mile

Royal Mile Beer, Scotch & British-style pub grub served in a casual space with a homey atmosphere.
(1926)

On December 12, 2001 local company Full Court Press opened their first (but certainly not last) 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. Cozy up to the fire on a cold autumn day or enjoy our beautiful brick courtyard with friends and family. The Mile has a comforta

ble atmosphere, great beer selection, and wonderful 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. And don’t forget the Red Monk upstairs – Central Iowa’s only Belgian bar.

There's no better way to spend a Sunday than tucked into a cozy pub with a proper pint, a hearty meal, and soccer on the telly.⚽

A proper breakfast, a proper pint (or a Bloody Mary), and a proper day of World Cup matches. Sounds like you've already made the perfect proper plan.

We'll meet you at The Mile ⚽

We may be an English pub, but we'll admit we're still rooting for the USA. ⚽🍻

Our suggestion would be to get here early for USA vs. Paraguay tonight if you'd like a proper view. Seats will disappear quicker than a plate of Fish & Chips.

If you arrive a little late and the pub is packed, don't worry. Our sister restaurant, The Empire, right across the street, will be showing the match too. 🍻⚽

The World Cup has officially begun ⚽🍻

You could watch it at home... but what's the fun in that?

Cold pints, proper pub food, and a rowdy room full of fans who care just as much as you do. There's no better place to catch the action.

We'll meet you at The Mile.

The Empire, our sister restaurant right across the street, will be showing every World Cup match too! If you're looking for a more laid-back spot to catch the game!
