- DDebIowa •13 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoDowntown Des Moines @ 6th & Mulberry Streets = the fabulous Surety Hotel, which includes Mulberry Street Tavern ... the name sounds casual, but the cuisine is well-studied and so enjoyed! We were warmly greeted by Brianna Luck and served beyond expectation by Andrea Humbert. Many thanks to the entire time @ Mulberry Street Tavern for extending a warm welcome and unforgettable menu to your community on Christmas Day 2025. Thank you for the gift of a wonderful dining experience; we plan to return often!More infoMulberry Street TavernPrice: Expensive• American• Des Moines•4.6
