Weekly Events at Nightingale Cocktail

At Nightingale Cocktail, no two nights are the same. Every week, we host a variety of events featuring a wide range of music and a completely different vibe.

Unless noted, events are 21+ and ID is always required.

Wub Wednesday

We kick off the week with Wub Wednesday—a bass-heavy EDM experience brought to you courtesy of a rotating roster of Iowa's best local and regional DJs and Des Moines' premier intimate nightclub venue. Epic sound, state of-the-art lighting, and an unparalleled video installation take bass music to the next level. Hosted by Iowa's own Nicky Rage.

Caliente Thursday

Looking for something to spice up your Thursday night? Look no further! Cliente Thursdays is Des Moines' best Latin infused dance event. Bring a partner and hit the dancefloor with a mix of Salsa, Bachata, and Reggaeton hits or come solo and meet, mingle, and dance with a fun and friendly crowd. Once you've worked up a sweat, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail and cool down on our luxurious patio.
