Big Grove Brewery & Taproom Des Moines

Big Grove Brewery's Des Moines taproom sits in the historic Crescent Dealership building at 555 17th Street in the Sherman Hill neighborhood. Its main private space, the Crescent Room, keeps the building's original character and seats 110 or holds 150 cocktail-style — expandable to 200 with the small patio or 250 with the large patio attached. A turf area seats 40 or holds 70 standing, and the two patios book independently for groups of roughly 30 to 75, with pricing based on final guest count.

Booking runs through TripleSeat or the taproom's events email, with a card on file replacing an upfront deposit. Food and beer come from the house, with outside desserts the only exception; decorations are allowed minus glitter and confetti. It is best for casual corporate socials, birthday parties, graduation parties, and reunions that want a brewery setting with real private-space structure.
