Des Moines offers options for off-campus fun. When students are sick of campus life and need a night out away from Drake, downtown Des Moines on Court Avenue offers a variety of fun and entertaining things to do. Places such as Java Joe's Coffeehouse, Bugsy's, Nacho Mammas, Spaghetti Works and the Court Avenue Brewing Company offer relaxing environments that allow students to get away from the stress of school. To get to Downtown, head east on University Avenue and go south on Keo Way. The Court Avenue Brewing Company, located at 309 Court Ave., is a restaurant and bar open to people of all ages, but cards those who want to drink.
