What do a Brewery, Guardians Of The Galaxy, and Hot Topic have in common? Not much unless your in Des Moines, Iowa and visiting the Merlle Hay Mall. Last summer, FLIX Brewhouse broke ground on a $12 million project that will convert the upper bridge of Merlle Hay Mall into the signature dine-in movie theater and brewpub they are famous for.

Flix is America’s Cinema Brewery and the world’s only first-run, combination cinema, eatery and fully functioning microbrewery.

FLIX Brewhouse is based out of Austin, TX and is the creation of founder and CEO Allan Reagan. Allan was looking for a solution for the “time-pressed” family who needed a convenient night out of dinner and entertainment. FLIX was the answer! In 3 hours you can have a door to door dinner & movie experience.

FLIX Brewhouse Coming To Des Moines

The prototypical Flix Brewhouse has 8-10 auditoriums totaling 950-1,100 total seats, plus a large lobby bar and on premises microbrewery. Each facility ranges from 35,000 to 40,000 square feet and serves an average of 275,000 guests annually. We currently offer 6 full time, year round beers, as well as several seasonal and limited releases that will vary at different locations.

The combination of Hollywood’s first run movies, great food and craft beers makes for an unbeatable combination. The facility in Des Moines will have 10 movie screens with a separate restaurant and bar for those not going into the theater.
