Benchwarmers Sports Bar & Grill in Ankeny

Bi polar- relaxing but yet fun

We come for holly, shes the bestest 🤗💜

Excelente service and promotions are on point if you drink. Don't let ant of the negative reviews steer you Away.this place is meant to be made into a spot of your own . For your own time. And your own friends. Review Master.

News flash update. Once again those that sit on the bench screw those that dont. Hence drinker beware. Water instead of Vodka for those they feel they just dont like. Beware. Not the first time and doubt it will be the last . When you call them out on their water for vodka and who knows what else , they just simply ban you from coming back. Now you know.

Always the best place and people...

Great place to hangout!

Short night.. had a few beer then headed out. They had dj.. Eric.. he did a great job. Great songs super fun.

Great hangout place! Really nice bartenders April is the Best!

Great ownership and a friendly environment..Karaoke is a blast.. Really good energy there..

Bartenders are very slow & extremely unprofessionally. Do NOT waste your time here if you want to have a good night.

Some of the best bartendress' west of hwy 6. Great, friendly, engaging atmosphere and a well-maintained bar!!

5 stars for the ladies that works there!

Neighborhood bar is good to grab a drink and the bartenders are great at taking care of your needs especially April

Really nice call, clean staff. First time in and was pretty cool.

Great place to be when theres no where else to go

darts, pool, tvs and good drinks and great company.

I've been going to this bar since it opened. The brother and sister team that owned it then were spectacular and I hope that they still do. They make it friendly and warm. God I miss going there alot.

Nice and chill bar, we were there with co workers last week and it was a great atmosphere

All the ladies working behind the bar are very nice, courteous, and attentive . Also plenty of TV's to watch the sport of your choice.

Love the bartenders here.

Small enough to be cozy, large enough to be enjoyable.

The staff is ok, the clientele is a old folks sausage fest

Cheap drinks, friendly staff. Stays EXCESSIVELY smokey. Typical neighborhood dive but a $2 well makes this a must on the way home. Serve snacks but not a real menu.

Good DJ and service. Great place to have a drink.

coolest place on my side of town

Love this bar

They state that they're open. Drive there and they're 100% CLOSED!!! Mark your facility closed off it is!! GEEZE

Love the bartender she was slammed but still managed to keep up and wasn't herself

The food was much better than most sports bars I've been too, and the beer was very cold. Highly recommend.

👍 best place to grab a drink with friends...

Cool spot.

Great bar cool regulars good service

Need more variety

Awesome spot amazing wait staff. Shout out to Nickole and Holly thanks for the hospitality.

There's whiskey and beer -- also less masculine drunkard acutramants such as gin, possibly white claw. I was served immediately so that's a huge plus. Also for the hard core nicotine addict there is smoking allowed inside -- also a plus. Lastly, I saw a golden tee game next to the billards tables. Oh one more thing. Möntly Crüe is playing currently. So over all a good to great choice for the area.

My wife and I love this Sports Bar. Bartenders call out our favorite drinks before we sit down. Being a local at this place is a privilege. Highly Recommend!!!

Great service, best bartenders I have ever had.

Above average sports bar , plenty of TVS and pretty bartenders ! Nice prices at Happy Hour !Can get Smokey when really busy ! Limited food / snacks ! Quite a few Regulars but never had an issue with anyone ! I would Highly Recommend you give it a try ! Probably the best local Bar in the Area I’m my opinion !!!😎

Got there at 1:30 waited 10 mins at the empty bar the girl didn’t even bother turning around caring on with her conversation.

Cool place. They have karaoke some nights. It is really fun

Great service

This is our favorite bar to be at. Great service good people all around great spot love it here been coming for years

Typical dive bar with regulars and random stragglers. They have karaoke on the weekends. Prices are on par with other bars in the area. Large variety of beers and the bartenders can make pretty much any drink you order. There is not kitchen, but they do not have a problem (as long as you're not a slob) if you order a pizza or bring other fast food. The staff is nice and friendly. They do have a "bouncer" at the door checking ID to keep the young ones out, but he's an extremely cool person. The owner and his wife are at the bar most of the times and will chat with you. There are enough TV's all over the bar, smoking inside is allowed, and they have a decent patio. Overall satisfied and always look forward to come to Benchwarmers whether it is for one beer or for more.

Very cool laid-back sports bar. Every one is so nice and the service is great. Plenty of entertainment and the drinks are great....

Great experience! Super quick service! This was by far the best service provider I ever met. Great job! I recommend their services hands down.

Bartenders are attentive. Drinks are good and the regulars are nice. I recommend $2 Tuesdays.

APRIL is amazing!!! 50+ people in this place and she has not skipped a beat or missed anyone! Keeping the drinks flowing and the dishes washed! SHE IS A SUPER STAR!

Amazing staff with great prices !

Pool tables and darts. Great classic rock to current hip hop music warm atmosphere. Bartenders very attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Great service. Fun people. Very clean
