Biker bar! Cheap hard shell tacos with no frills other than a few selections of hot sauces. Friendly staff and clearly a local dive place for bikers. Nice on the inside as far as décor. Someone put some work into a lot of the décor. Staff was really friendly and served us quickly. Little patio available. Decent prices. Some of the locals who are more free with their mouths like to F bomb every other word but if you can block that out the experience us perfect.

Snobby unfriendly, hipster service. We had to ask for each round even though our drinks were obviously empty and sitting there empty for a while. The tacos are ok. It was our first time at Kung Fu so we asked for a menu. The bartender dead panned«we have tacos, ground beef, they’re $ 2.» No shit. Maybe if we had someone who actually talked to us and gave some sort of service we’d had known that? The service was uncomfortable and the tacos are meh. There’s too many places in Des Moines where they don’t make you feel like an asshole for being there for us to go back.

This place is interesting — We walked in and kind of felt out of place but the staff at the bar was so nice and very attentive! The taco are okay — worth the $ 2 — not a great beer selection but a cheap night out. would go back for sure.

They play an eclectic mix of music which could possibly but rarely include some country. bar tender’s choice… but mostly the music consists of metal and punk rock. While the tap does not have a lot of beer, they make some awesome mixed drinks and have tons of interesting selections in the cooler. The concept for the bar is very West Side Salvage with the bar and table tops made out of refurbished bowling alley materials and«tree stumps» for bar stools are finished with thick glaze, the curtain to the kitchen is made from thick chrome chain. People from literally all walks of life come into Kung Fu and love it — appreciating what it is and what its not. Its actually a pretty cool little joint that if you look closely is kind of a piece of art, posing as a dive bar. But what it is undeniably is just plain chill. The owners of Kung Fu are very smart businessmen who have and do own other long-lasting, successful bars in the area, as well as other businesses.

This is a place that was recommended to me by a friend of one of the owner. $ 2 tacos and $ 2.50 Hamm’s on draft. When I walked in, I felt out of place but was immediately welcomed at the bar. I could sit, drink and eat cheap tacos all night. Can’t wait to go back.
