This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Revelry Room Bar & Kitchen is a downtown Des Moines bar and dining room on Locust Street, known for build-your-own charcuterie boards, a long martini list and Iowa beers on tap. Its cured meats list includes a spruce tip Wagyu bresaola at 15 dollars, served as one selection on a board rather than as a steak. That is the only Wagyu on the menu, and the listing gives no country, grade, brand or producer for the beef. The kitchen names its cheese makers but leaves the Wagyu unattributed.
Authenticity flags
- The only Wagyu here is a single cured charcuterie slice on a build-your-own board, sold at 15 dollars for a two ounce portion. This is not a Wagyu steak programme, so do not book expecting one.
- The cured meats list names no country, grade or farm for the Wagyu bresaola, although the same board credits every cheese maker by name. Ask your server where the beef comes from if that matters to you.

Common questions
- Does Revelry Room Bar & Kitchen serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 18, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Revelry Room Bar & Kitchen serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Revelry Room Bar & Kitchen listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
