The 44 best places to go out in Minneapolis

Had a great time here. The Highlander burger satisfied every craving I was having, the taste was great and it was very filling. The tots were nice and crispy. I got to introduce my friend to Scotch eggs which was fun and the ones here are pretty good. The cocktails are great too! The old fashioned was delicious as was the boozy hot cocoa! The service we got was quick and friendly! I'll definitely be back.

Splendid food!! Very hearty, and will come back! Plus Guinness is perfect with food lol

This is a wonderful pub and feels authentically British. We attended on a Wednesday evening and there was a pub quiz that started not long after our arrival. The service was very good; our waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was tasty and the prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Definitely a good evening out. Cheers!

First time in and I cannot wait to go back. I had the Irish stew which was delicious. Sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive while the clientele there was friendly. The menu has tons of great options, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was prompt and welcoming. Went back for a 2nd time and had the cobbler's pie. Also delicious and our service was great.

We only drank. They have every kind of scotch and whiskey you can think of. I did see people eating. So a good time was had by all

So one of the surliest bartenders i have seen in a while. Ignored us, scowled the whole time. Seemed to hate customers and her job. Her coworker was no better. We ubered there and left after one beer. Good way to drive away customers. Too bad because had a good time at a table a few weeks ago but will not be back.

A little expensive, but well worth the visit. Food and service was good. The decorations on the walls are really cool. Not sure if I'll be back again, but we'll see.

This place was great! No complaints on the food quality and taste. Very well made pizza. My only “complaint” is the price. While it’s delicious, Punch pizza is just as good, if not better, and half the price. The salad on the other hand was amazing. I would definitely record trying their salads. Over all, it deserves 5 stars but I don’t think I’ll be going back especially now that they’re closing down. I

I'll say, good luck walking in for a table. Best you reserve one if you want a dining table and not the bar. That's how popular this place is. This place is stunning. Semi-dark, ambient, mood lighting, kind of like patio lights. I would come back and try more food. Our bill came out $117. 1 Tavern Pie Pizza + fennel sausage Pork spare Ribs Mussels 1 Old Fashion 1 Mixed drink The pizza was my favorite kind of pizza. Thin, crunchy, light, hearty, house red sauce, and a nice char to it. The ribs were tender, and super flavorful. The mussels were a lot. Almost a full-course meal itself. They constantly have busboys I assume, walking around taking plates out of the way and walking around with water refills. They pack your pizza for you if you have leftovers.

We went to Young Joni one last time for my birthday before they close. All I have to say is why aren’t you relocating? Young Joni is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. The food is incredible. I was thrilled that I was able to try the pickled pizza which I have to tell you if you’ve only had the pickled pizza from target this one fresh is much better 😆 We also had the Meatballs and an incredible salad with a bougie name that I forget. The server and the server assistance were incredibly attentive, and the vibe of the restaurant is fantastic. Thank you for an excellent birthday dinner now let’s start making plans to relocate the restaurant.

Finally made it out here, but it is difficult to get a reservation, and you can’t get a table otherwise. But the bar seats were just fine. Our bartender/server was very personable but not overbearing. It’s too bad this spot is closing because it’s honestly very popular and very good. We got the La Parisienne pizza, and it was delicious.

First time at Young Joni. La Parisienne and pork Spare ribs were awesome. La Parisienne had a perfect blend of salty, sweet, and creamy taste and texture. I love a good wood fired pizza! The ribs were covered in a sesame sauce that I quite enjoyed. Meaty with not too much fat. Glad I got to try this place.

Sorry this place is closing! Great bar, beautiful atmosphere, excellent food. Table service was a bit slow for drinks. Food and drinks are creative, flavorful, and pleasingly presented. We sampled the gem salad, mussels (incredible), prawns, burrata (wow), and of course, pizzas (Basque, Cacio e pepe). Dessert sampler is also not to be missed! But you only have until the fall to check out this gem. Photos unabashedly stolen from my friend Scott.

A great place! We moved out of town but visit when we can. Unfortunate that the landlords and restaurant apparently could not come to a reasonable price for rent. Great vibe, great food, and fun drinks. We will be sure to try and visit again before close. (Olive oil and soft serve, do it!)

Server gave us time to talk and catch up with table guests without feeling rushed or pressured. The halibut, scallops and empanadas were divine. But the chicken was unbelievably good. Like, I’d never order chicken because it’s usually bland and not memorable, but the flavors danced on my palate long after the bite was savored. Highly recommend. My only pushback was too much ice in the cocktail and the old fashioned was too sweet to be enjoyable. Overall, a fab dining experience.

Mostly great experience and I do recommend coming here, unless you’re dairy free and/or trying to eat healthy. It was with much discernment that I chatted with our outstanding server and we landed on me ordering the Norwegian Salmon. The menu describes it as coming with a salad and at least one veggie (artichokes). It ended up being one big slab of salmon with some parsley. So, basically a $35 piece of salmon. Thats it. And a 25m ticket time. Kind of a bummer. The Avocado toast appetizer was delightful though.

I came here yesterday to celebrate my birthday. The overall atmosphere was very lively and perfect for a date night. Even though I made reservations, I still had to wait 15-20 minutes for a table due to how busy it was. The waiter assisting was very knowledgeable and friendly. I ordered the potato churros, empanadas, stuffed chicken breast, and the orecchiette. The wait was slightly longer than anticipated. Once the appetiser arrived, they were absolutely phenomenal. I loved the potato churro and the empanadas. The main course was equally as delicious. I would definitely return for their brunch. I overall had a really great experience.

Loved the vibe, service was fabulous! Food was excellent all around. If I was to critique anything we were a bit underwhelmed with the crepe dessert. It was good, just didn't match up to the caliber of the rest of the meal. I will dream about those potato churros, they were amazing. The chicken that was added to the ravioli was magical. I prefer dark meat in general but whatever they do to that chicken had me on the floor.

One of our favorite restaurants in the cities, never disappoints! We frequent here often! Exceptional service, they run a tight kitchen and the food is fantastic! The potato churros are light & airy and perfectly crispy at the same time! Highly recommend any of the pastas! You can’t go wrong!

One of the best food experiences I’ve had! Our server Maddi made our anniversary dinner so special! We liked the cocktails, oysters, raw asparagus salad, empanadas, the potato gnocchi and pesto pastas. And of course the black velvet cake. I’m excited to come back and try more.

Never disappointed at this beautiful restaurant. Food is amazing, ambiance is great, service is excellent and the drinks are creative and delicious! Delicious, gluten free pasta made in house, which is so challenging to find. Make a reservation!

Joshua Ray Walker was outstanding! The venue is small but I was glad to discover the sound wasn't out of control. I like that there are bleacher seats against the back wall if you didn't want to stand.

Grateful for such an amazing music venue for so many decades. Have to say really, really love how it has evolved under the ownership and direction of Dayna Frank.

Cool little venue! Attended a Matt Maeson concert and tickets were sold out well in advance. We skipped the opener and arrived about 45m after showtime. There was a small line out the door as they checked IDs. There were two people checking IDs. One guy came and checked ours and gave us our wristbands while the lady at the front checking was overly chatty and we continued to wait. She talked much she forgot she asked for their IDs again and she forgot she had already checked their IDs. That was my only complaint. The venue was tiny and PACKED. There was a coat check area when you walk in. The venue is tiny and was PACKED with people stuffed in all the way to the entrance. There was just a sliver of space at the bar for people to grab drinks. The bartenders were quick and provided friendly service. We made it to the middle of the floor and there were stairs to go to a second level. People were packed standing on the stairs as well. Great views and acoustics. Someone passed out during the show and security was quick to come in and get him out. Leaving was pretty quick and efficient as well, despite the amount of people leaving.

Overall, I had a great experience at this venue. It’s on the smaller side, which creates an intimate atmosphere and makes it easier to get a good view—especially with the stage being higher than average. That elevation really helped with visibility, even from further back in the crowd. It did get very warm inside, but I appreciated that staff handed out bottled water to the front of the crowd—definitely a thoughtful touch. The sound quality was excellent throughout the night, and they did a great job switching stage setups quickly between bands. During the breaks, they lowered a screen that played a loop of upcoming shows—nice for planning future visits, though the loop did get a little repetitive after a while. My only real complaint is the slanted edge at the front rail on the floor—it’s awkward to stand on and pretty uncomfortable after a while. If you’re heading for a spot on the rail, be prepared for some uneven footing.

Amazing venue! Wonderful and kind staff, especially Jeremiah!! The sound was fantastic for the Matt Maeson (with opening band Wells Ferrari) show 10/18/25. An experience I will cherish.

Went to see the iconic building and the stars along its exterior. Amazing the people who have played here. Close to a beautiful mural of Prince.

Still a awesome venue to see anyone up close and personal . I forgot how great this place is for a show!

It was fun and divey, and everyone here was having a good time. My coworker from Minnesota recommended that I check this place out with my girlfriend, so we did. I don’t know what I expected, but coming from New York I was admittedly blown away by the size of this place. It’s got massive strip club vibes, and there were definitely a lot of straight people for better or worse.

This is a true nightclub. There a multiple dance floors, bars and stages for shows. Even though the name implies it’s a gay venue, I found that there were all types of people partying here. I’d say the age range was a younger crowd, but again, all types of people were here. The prices are reasonable, and the staff was friendly.

My friend accidentally lost her purse in the club and she didn’t realize until after hours, lucky we were able to catch the security and they helped us get her purse back even tho they were off shift ready to go home, and they were so helpful and nice about the whole situation! Always have a great time and this experience proved that the security and the other workers do care about their customers!

I get that it was busy for Halloweekend, but I was just disappointed. This was my first clubbing/bar/gay bar experience, and while I was bracing myself to be grabbed once inside (I wasnt, thank goodness), the woman that frisked me fully grabbed both my boobs. Ive been frisked before, and they just open hand traced AROUND the bust, but she just decided to get two handfuls and squeeze. The drag queens were fun, but that just kinda threw me off. Another review mentioned a "distinct smell", which to me was perfume and urine.

They have a signature smell every time you walk in there and they serve you poison for drinks depending on what you look like. Restroom 🚻 floors always wet. Riding the donkey and the karaoke area that actually has air is all right it's big different DJs That's nice other than that NO.There's other places to have a good time it's okay if you thirsty and you don't have nowhere to go other than that it's not all that.

The Gay 90's, while a staple in Minneapolis, is not the type of place to go. While they serve strong drinks, they clearly lack when it comes to keeping their clients safe. Too many times I have heard stories of people getting groped or taken advantage of in this club, and nothing has changed. If I want to be safe in a club where I'm supposed to be accepted, the line here has been crossed by too many people. Granted you can't catch them all, you can at least try. If you're queer, and looking for a place in the cities, I recommend Jetset Underground or The Saloon. Basically anywhere besides the 90's. Would I recommend this place to a friend? No. Would I visit this place again? No.

first of all, this is NOT an lgbtq bar. if you’re looking for a queer space, this is definitely not the one. second, the security and door staff were positively evil and extremely rude. I left a bag inside and tried to reenter and was told repeatedly that i needed to pay the cover again despite already being a patron for two hours before this. when i got to the window for the cover, the security guard heard me talking to the worker about how i left something and just needed to grab it, he kicked me out and didn’t even give me the opportunity to pay the cover to retrieve my things. as someone who is visiting from NYC and wanted a fun spot to go to, i left here feeling very disappointed and uncomfortable. everything said, the two bartenders that i interacted with in the main room were both amazing and very friendly. aside from the friendly bartenders, this bar is busted and i would recommend someone to go anywhere aside from here.

Don't bother to expect a pizza here on a busy night if you're femme presenting. Certain staff like to pick favorites and those are typically masc presenting folx. Other than that, fun place. Decent food that typically comes out burnt to a crisp. But still Decent ✨️

We (Visiting Austin FC fans) were welcomed with extremely open arms for a post match celebration. We watched women's sports and made new friends. Thanks for being awesome! I'll be back the next time I roll through town to be sure!

So lame. Most unfriendly bartender in the profession's history! Would not take my order and walked away numerous times just to be a jerk...well don't go here! Save your time and spare yourself the disappointment... unless you are into pain and suffering then this place is perfect. Dante must have been as disgusted as I was because surely this bar and the bartender would be a very memorable character on one of the Planes of Hell and to spite the bartender back he never wrote a single letter or syllable about Black Hart of St Paul. Lol Good one Dante!

The bartender here on a Tues night was very kind and Karaoke was such a vibe! Spacious, chill patio too. Looking forward to coming back again! :) <3

what a fun, welcoming bar!! The large patio is extensive!! I would most definitely recommend this bar to my fellow patrons. Here you are treated with respect and a valued customer!

My girlfriend and I tried coming here last night because of the great reviews we’ve heard. The person at the entrance with short hair and glasses, who was quite unfriendly, told us it would be a $7 cover charge. We thought that was an odd amount and decided to think about it before getting cash from the ATM. While waiting, we overheard this person only charge the woman about a minute or two after us $5. It’s not about the money… but being discriminated against for an unknown reason. We’re assuming they were planning on pocketing the additional $4. You would also think that someone choosing to give you business would be friendly and smiling when people walk in the door but it was the complete opposite (not just with us, with the person behind us as well). I’ll also add that there were only about 40 people inside at this time and there was not a line to get in so it was not busy at all. We decided to go elsewhere for our evening.

I love this place! The patio is one of the best around—perfect for relaxing with friends or enjoying community events. The service is always friendly, the vibe is welcoming, and the owner clearly cares about both the bar and the neighborhood. A true gem.

Saw Polish Ambassador.!! BEST show i've seen in years! This place is historic and stunning - perfect lighting, sound, and size. Great knooks to chill, bathrooms are imacculate, such a great time!💗

Seen a dubstep show here and the sound system this place has can really bring it. The bass was insane, yet still had some pretty great acoustics for a small club. Staff seemed friendly too.

If I could give this place a zero I would. My daughter went there with her sister and on way to restroom and leaving the nightclub they had an off duty drunk employee bump into them. Words was exchanged something in the lines of a sarcastic excuse you. Whereas a male bouncer saw the interaction and says ok it’s time for you to go which was no issue as they were leaving anyways. Sounds fair right? Their drunk employee bumps into them and somehow a paying customer gets kicked out. Within a matter of steps a female butch bouncer with dreads pounced on my daughter and started dragging her out by her hair. Literally ripping her hair out dragging her out of the nightclub. We messaged them and we were assured they would”look into it” what a joke! The violent bouncer still works there so be careful she is dangerous and the business does not care they have bouncers that will assault their patrons. My daughter has several painful medical conditions and this bouncer caused so much pain to my daughter for absolutely no reason. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND BEYOND DISAPPOINTING that any business cares so little for their customer. Beware the bouncer with dreads she is dangerous and is completely out of control. We will add the videos of her assault from this bouncer as soon as we can.

My girlfriend and her friends went there the night of June 8th to celebrate a friends birthday. To make a long story short a gross old man kept recording them and when asked to stop she got punched in the face and fell on the floor. In the altercation non of the security staff supported either party and did nothing to deescalate the situation itself. Disappointment does not BEGIN to describe how I feel about the staffs reaction to this situation and the lack of care for her and other patrons. They pointed out the man who punched her and had multiple people who witnessed it also say it was him and they didn’t even look her in the eye OR KICK HIM OUT!!! My girlfriend then lost her keys during the altercation and they offered NO SOLUTION TO HELP!!!! And told her they couldn’t do anything at all. This is quite possibly the worst club I’ve ever heard of. Save yourself the trouble and go LITERALLY anywhere else.

This is probably my favorite club ON A FRIDAY to go to in mpls. The service here is HORRIBLE regarding buying a booth and bottles. I got a booth for my birthday in Nov and we arrived around 1130pm and received the bottles for the booth at 1:15am.... the club closes at 2??? i was PISSSSSED!!!!!! OTHER THAN GETTING A TABLE........... going as a normal civilian is decent. theres a number you can text to get in for free before 11. If you come late expect to wait in a line and possibly it being at capacity. and from 10 to 11 they have 2-4-1's so thats nice as well. On fridays they do RNB night and its probably the best selection of music. Its not just RNB on fridays but they promote it to be but they definitely play rap.

Didn't try any food but there is a decent selection of alcohol, sound system isn't great and they either play music that isn't really suited for any kind of dancing or the base and reverb cover up anything that is, making it impossible to distinguish. Service is subpar and the bouncers are pleasant when you don't have to deal with them but when you do they are complete unreasonable tyrants. I got tossed out with no explanation and they wouldn't let me grab my jacket, and apparently they aren't open for another week.

Rose!!! I met her in the bathroom. They were so friendly and attentive, offering all different kinds of necessities. We had a wonderful conversation and i of course tipped her for the goodies, they have so many useful things in the bathroom i think more places should offer this! Ive only seen it out of state a couple times and once in my city. They were the sweetest person and made me feel very welcome. The bar service was also great, 10/10. Definitely check this place out! Thank you for a great experience i will be coming back!!

Attend for “Sorry For Party Rocking” event. $20 / ticket - totally worth it. Music choices were fantastic, DJs could have had better transitions. Paid $9 a pop for rail drinks, plus tips. Area was small, but I liked that it didn’t get too packed. Bathroom was clean.

showed up almost black out drunk having no clue what this place was. surprised by a rave, went moshing and got body slammed. overall 10/10

Tried to find a fun 18+ location Downtown for my Bachelorette party as one of my bridesmaids was not 21 yet. There was a large line outside and they told us they were 18+ so we thought we’d check it out. Turns out the line was for a concert upstairs, not Bar Fly. There was NO ONE! We danced on the poles for a little bit and then requested a song that did not get played. Overall it was a waste of the $5 to get in. I would not recommend Bar Fly.

Walked in the door and asked if there was a bunch of people inside they said yes and there was 4 people not counting the bar tender not good. There website says +21 girls and guys $8 but our group was charged $10 a person because of a "last minute price change by the manager". Beware coming here.

Went to Bar Fly today, around 11pm, with a friend who’s 19, I’m older than 21. She was asked to pay 20$. We showed them that it’s supposed to be 8$ for 21+ and 10$ for 18+ So we paid for that and they told us we couldn’t go upstairs then. Downstairs were 1 1/2 floors. A bigger one and an entry area. The music was ok, but not my favorite kind of EDM. I expected better. Another aspect that needs to be mentioned is that there were basically no people. There was one lady snoozing in one of the booths. I could count the other people that were hanging out there on one hand and the number on the dance floor was negative 2. To sum it up, we wasted 20 minutes of our lives in there.

I would give it zero stars if I could... tried to find a fun 18+ club and the reviews were extremely misleading. It was a stupid amount of money (cheap for a club, $8 a person) for nothing. Also wasted $3.50 to check my coat?? Anyways when I say "for nothing" I really mean nothing. There were THREE PEOPLE. THREE!! It was embarrassingly sad and I wish the people who charged us would have said something. Could've saved some money. For anyone considering to go, don't.

I went here last night with a group of friends. They said they would have fire dancers and snake charmers from 9-11pm. We got there at 8:30 and there wasn't a soul to be found other than the staff. The only people that weren't lounging around were the bartender near the entrance, the girl at the door, and the DJ. We sat down and got some drinks, and chatted until 9:00 came around and nothing had changed. My friend asked the DJ when the dancers and charmers would be starting and the DJ told him "They should start any time now." Any time indeed... We stuck around because my friend REALLY wanted to see the show but he was the only one who wanted to stay. Other people didn't show up until around 10:00 and we all sat around awkwardly until people started dancing closer to 11:00. Then, FINALLY at 11:30 the performers started. They were neat but spread out their short act (only a couple minutes for each performance) over an hour and a half by taking long breaks between. My other friend forced me onto the dance floor and while dancing I was grabbed, bumped, and groped constantly. Very uncomfortable. The only highlights of the night: I got to touch the big python the "snake charmer" had around his neck, and the bartender by the door (not the lady in the dance area) mixed some great drinks. Also, a fight broke out right next to us and by the time a bouncer showed up the people who started the fight had bolted and left two girls on the floor. The two girls as well as two guys who tried to do the bouncers job got kicked out while the girl who attacked them in the first place was left alone. And my favorite hat was stolen, seriously? Just don't go here unless you want to be sexually assaulted, robbed, and attacked. Yuck, I still feel like I have cooties.

We've visited Target Field for a Twins ball games, and we've thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The ballpark is beautiful, the seats are great, there are many food choices, and the views of the downtown skyline are fantastic. 100% recommend!

First time visiting Target Field and we had a blast. Start with parking, so easy. Parked in Ramp B and walked right into the park. Love the layout and the vibe and smell of brats cooking was everywhere! The staff was very helpful and friendly, just the way it should be. Great views from our seats. We'll definitely be coming back!

Recently went to a Twins game while I was in town. Loved the stadium which has a cozy, hometown feel. The videographers did a great job of capturing the game and keeping the fans entertained. Not a bad seat in the place. Food was great and options are plentiful.

Always a great experience! There’s a fantastic variety of food options and plenty of bars, making it the perfect place to meet up and catch up with friends. Parking is convenient with Ramps A, B, and C just a short walk away. Entry and exit are smooth thanks to the multiple gates, so lines never feel overwhelming. One of my favorite spots is the Truly On Deck bar. It has a spacious indoor area with plenty of seating available when you purchase food or drinks—great atmosphere and views!

I was at the field for the Blue Jays games. The concourse was very wide and plenty of room to walk and get to concessions. The seats varied on where you had tickets. There is plenty of room for the knees. All staff were very congenial and had great knowledge of the ball park. The field looked immaculate. Hats off to the grounds crew. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but we got through it. I found the prices at the concession stands to be a little on the expensive side and deterred me from eating what I wanted. But I found bare hot dogs for $3.99, which is good, but that's about it. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and would return. The Jay's won the 3 game series, by the way.

What an amazing arena, with wonderful vibes. Although things can be pricey, so to cautious or full! Many food stands, and many drink options. Had an amazing time with our kids. They have a family section where they don’t not permit alcohol drinks in the area, so I truly loved that. Many beautiful views. Nice music and good game! GO TWINS!

The stadium was clean and the workers were friendly. We enjoyed amazing seats. My husband annoyed the 60/40 sliders. We came all the way from Cleveland and really enjoyed ourselves!

We went to see Mid summers night dream, the story was pretty good, the acting was professional and fun. The stage however felt like it was high school level with a $70 price attached... Unimpressed by the stage set up. It needs more props, more bang, more animation and more uniqueness. Beautiful facility though with good actors and a lot of potential if they improve the stage sets.

I just saw the play The Mouse Trap, and it was so much fun. I recommend it. All the actors did a wonderful job. The scenery was great, too. Go early and catch the beautiful views.

We went to see the Cabaret and I was blown away! I loved all of it! Such an auspicious message. Well done play, gorgeous venue. My only complaint is the upper deck was closed, at the end of the "arm", ( the amazing cantilevered extension on the building overlooking the river)

The staff was helpful and professional and their August 2025 production of Cabaret was life changing! We’ve come back to see it a second time and it was just as magnificent.

Cabaret was an incredible show! The caliber of the cast, singing, dancing, emotional expression, accents, costumes, set design, everything was fantastic. What a musical! So timely and sobering!

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful wedding at the Guthrie theater and it was such an awesome spot to host a wedding! The location has so many nearby spots for photos and also the staff is truly amazing, I couldn't recommend them more! I look forward to photographing there again!

We saw Cabaret this time. Like always we enjoyed the show. Before the show we went up to the 9th level to the yellow observation area. Always love going to the shows here

Place is a little overwhelming with the amount of things going on, but the beer was alright, vibes were good, and weather was perfect for the patio! Service was quick (although the entrance guys were a bit weird), and prices were normal. If I lived in the area this would be a good hangout for sure!

There were stands outside with alcohol to sample: 4 different shots at $17 total, clothes to buy, and a couple mettalic structures reminiscent of the vehicles in the world of Mad Max. We went inside. I had the chicken sandwich sans lettuce and jalapeños, whereas my father had a burger sans tomato. We both shared the plentiful and quite tasty Mac and cheese, which we're having to bring home :D. It was like eating at a concert, but with less dodging people and more casual overall. We bought some merchandise, which ran us about $90 for a sweatshirt and a mug. It was a good experience and overall, a good time for the both of us.

Surly's is hands down one the coolest brewery's ever!! This was our first brewery stop in Minneapolis and this place did not disappoint at all. First off, it is a huge place! The beer is delicious...The pizzas were phenomenal we got one of the l'm Your Daddy pizza with the burnt honey mmmm...and the Pioneer Hitchhiker both amazing pizzas... You can sit outside, inside, at the bar, at a table, wherever this place is huge, service is quick, friendly and efficient. We did not do a tour, but if you do, it seems as though you get one free beer at the end. 100% recommend!!

I've visited here at least +5 times now. Clearly it's a great spot to grab a beer, but what was surprising was the food. YUM!!!! My favorite from Surly regarding the food is their pizza, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. If you're looking for something other than pizza - rest assured, they have plenty of wonderful options to choose from. We have tried many. The atmosphere is lively and fun. It's usually pretty easy to walk in and find a table/bar spot inside or outside. If you eat upstairs they do have board games you can play for free if you inquire with the staff, or bring your own. Kid friendly atmosphere if the little ones are attending with you. Looking forward to our next visit.

We walked here from our hotel. It was a nice walk and seemed to be in a pretty cool part of town. We were surprised at how big this place was. It was very busy but we were able to find 2 seats at the bar. Our bartender was great and had good recommendations. The food was good. The Mosh Pit Hazy and Mosh Pit Juicy IPA’s were excellent and the When in Rome Italian Lager was surprisingly good (I’m not a lager fan). My wife ordered the Surly Darkness 2024 and it was delicious but the star of the night was the Parker’s Heritage 10-year Heavy Char Bourbon Barrel Aged Darkness (2023). I rated this beer a 5 and I almost never rate beers this high. They also had a cool merch store with a nice selection.

Came on a Tuesday evening for a couple of pints and some tacos. The tacos were decent, but it looked like the other food is where it’s at. The place was pretty busy for a week night, so it definitely seemed like the place to be. The beers were both phenomenal, so I’m looking forward to visiting again to sample some more.

Surly offers an incredibly inviting taproom experience for both experienced and beginner beer connoisseurs. A vast array of on brand artwork adorns the space and you will have no problem finding a spot to sit and enjoy a beer or two with friends or chatting up some new friends. The bar staff are very knowledgeable about their taps from my experiences and you can trust they'll recommend something that'll work for you. Worth checking out if you've not been already.

Spoon and Stable is truly exceptional. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between warm and refined. The service is attentive and our server Brody’s recommendations were spot on. The food is the real star—each dish is beautifully presented and layered with flavor. There’s immense care and creativity behind every plate.

I came in around 9:45pm on a Saturday night without a reservation. Luckily the bar area is first come first serve and there was a chair open. I ordered the Jungle Bird cocktail and it was fantastic! Based on the reviews online I ordered the Pork Chop. While waiting for the entrée, a server bought out a bread roll and butter. It was good. My main dish came out pretty quick. It was a huge pork chop and cooked perfectly! While I did like the glaze, it was a little too sweet for my taste and the vegetables underneath were minimal. I did like the dish but I probably wouldn’t order it again since it was so sweet. Overall it was a very nice dining experience and I would come back if I lived in the area.

5++ 🌟all day long. Every course was perfection, beautiful and delicious. The staff were kind and welcoming. I had a wonderful experience all around. This place was a real treat!

Perhaps the best restaurant I have been to in Twin Cities for a long time! This place checked ALL the boxes. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and it is a great venue! Everything was masterfully seasoned. True craftsmanship! Everyone loved the starters! The hamachi crudo was well balanced. the bison tartare was fantastic with an great balance of acid, herbs, and perfectly seasoned. The prosciutto parma was a great intermingling of flavors and textures. Everyone loved their mains. Our friend swooned over the rigatoni, and the tortellini was lite and rich at the same time. The pasta was perfectly cooked. The lamb duo was deliciously prepared. The chops were luscious and beautifully matched with the pastilla that is north African spiced like. The cheese curds creamed spinach was a fun side and the Parm fries were perfectly prepared and seasoned. The honey and cream cake was a triumvirate of liteness, creamy richness, and sweetness. The chocolate budino was excellent. The service was great, very knowledgeable of the menu and gave great advice. The venue was a n open plan with great decor! If you are in town this is an outstanding choice to patron!

My girlfriend and I were in town from Connecticut and after doing some research, we choose Spoon and Stable for our first dinner in the area. Our experience exceeded even the high bar set by so many great reviews! The entire staff showed such genuine and professional concern for us and this was what impacted us even more than the beautiful space and exceptional food and drinks. Spoon and Stable reminded us that there are so many elements to an amazing and memorable restaurant experience and when every cylinder is firing it can be truly magical!!

We had a lovely night. The restaurant and vibes are enjoyable. Service was a bit slow. The food felt fairly basic but tasty. We weren’t able to finish the pork chop as it was raw by the bone but the menu does say this is a possibility.

I’ve been to Spoon and Stable a couple times in the past and it’s definitely one of the restaurants I keep coming back to and very high on my recommended list if you’re looking for a more upscale dining experience. I personally think their food is very creative and the atmosphere is quite stylish. In my most recent visit, I came here with a group of my friends. We all had an early dinner since our reservation was past 8pm, so we just ordered some appetizers to share and some pasta. I got an order of 3 oysters - they tasted great since i was in a mood for oysters but the taste and texture is not for everyone. We shared the prosciutto di parma and bison tartare (my favorite dish from this visit - highly recommend!). I wasn’t a big fan of the prosciutto, I think the nasturtium pistou was different than what I’m used to tasting with the prosciutto. We also got the spaghetti nero and sweet corn tortellini, both were good. In my past visits, I’ve had most of the entrees, and I can attest that they were really yummy and I’d definitely get them again when I go on an empty stomach. Great vibes overall, and it was a great restaurant to celebrate my friend’s birthday!

The food was alright. Tasted good but not super special overall. Great service, nothing against them or the venue. I really enjoyed the burrata board. Good combination of flavors. The Caesar salad however was the least flavorful Caesar I have ever had. It almost tasted like plain lettuce to me, with how bland the dressing was. Chicken parm, the chicken was really good, the sauce and pasta was fine. The jambalaya pasta was alright according to my boyfriend.

I have been to one of the sister locations outside Chicago (the saddle room) and the food and drinks are great there. The Newsroom is maybe trying a bit too hard to find itself with its menu. We had the turkey burger and the black and blue sandwich. I don't know what flavor they were going for with either.. we also added the Brussels sprouts which was more of a hot shave sprout salad and was unexpected but not in the best way. The service, ambiance and drinks were good. I did get the peanut butter and jelly old fashioned minus the peanut butter bourbon (subbed a basil Hayden) and it was quite good.

Last night into town and this place just ruined it. How could you bring out a dish with a burnt steak to serve! The cold mash potatoes and hard pita chips definitely were overcooked. Still ended up paying for the burnt meal, I recommend hiring new chefs and line cooks.

I had a reasonably nice meal at The Newsroom with the number of co-workers while in minneapolis. The food in the appetizers were good and everyone generally enjoyed their meals but it was not anything overtly spectacular. The cocktails were well mixed and not overly strong and the service was good considering we were at an awkward shaped table with one server. The meal was novel and good.

I visited Minneapolis for a quick work trip. After a long day of meetings I was looking for a local restaurant to grab dinner at and found this hidden gem. Brooks the bartender recommended the Short Ribs, and I can honestly say they were the best I’ve ever had! Brooks really made a lasting impression of the city of Minneapolis and the great people who live there! I hope that work brings me back up so I can try more items on the menu! Excellent experience!

Great service, and delicious food. Overall, the Staff is nice, servers go above and beyond. i had a beef lasagna and my partner had a chicken Alfredo and a berries salad, all super tasty and well cooked. Bathrooms are clean, as well as the other areas of the premises. I want to go back there for sure.

Food was great! Portions were large. Easy walk from the Fairfield Marriott and then to Target center for a concert. I’d definitely eat here again. The Rueben and Brie cheese curds were delicious!

Great theming with the decor! Not a large menu for food, but what they did have was really good. Server doesn't come to your table to take your order. You order through an app. When the server came with our order though they were very nice and kept up with soda refills. I probably would have given five stars, but it was a little pricey. It was something different for us.

Really cool atmosphere for a fun night out with friends. Were here in colder season but have heard great things about their outside seating facing the river, excited to go back in the warmer season and check out the patio. Their pizzas are absolutely delicious! I’m not huge fan of rum cocktails in general, but if you are, their cocktails are really exciting! Smoking brownie dessert was also really fun and delicious!

Going with a 3 star! Food is ridiculously priced and I'm sure average diner has better quality. It makes sense to follow tech, cut labor and let people order through phone, but paying upfront, giving tips, doesn't makes sense at all. Felt like an easy way to charge unnecessarily. Only good thing about the place is, Ambience. Good environment and surroundings near Mississippi river. We are disappointed. Especially with $125 over priced drink with a stupid souvenir. Not going again and definitely not recommending to anyone else. We will be breaking up with one of our friends who told us about this place..haha kidding.

Before this place is listed as permanently closed, I want to leave a review letting people know that the memories I have had here were just great. During the summer on a hot day, this was just the perfect location to grab a drink and sit by the river, while enjoying some performances that perfectly complemented the atmosphere. I have had a few different types of drinks and each one has its unique style. Regardless of what drink one chooses, they have the ability to make it tiki themed as well, which would, once again, totally complement the atmosphere. There were also seats that allowed people to sit in them in kind of a hammock mode (not sure how to call it when it's not laying down). And decorations were also in alignment with its tiki theme. The pizzas were pretty good as well! They were relatively smaller in portion but tasted good. I wouldn't consider food as a review priority for this place because it is mostly famous for its drinks and atmosphere, and both are nothing short of great! I will miss all the memories from this place as it has allowed me to socialize with others in relaxing manners on summer days.

We went here as a small group around Christmas time. We made a reservation because we had heard about how cool the Christmas decor was. They sat us at a table that unless your insanely skinny you wouldn't fit. Thankfully it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a different table. You don't get a waiter or waitress, you have to order food through your phone. They also won't even bring water to your table, they point to a water station and tell you you have to get it yourself. The food was mediocre. The drinks were good and festive but a little bit on the expensive side. We probably won't go back because of those issues and the reservations fee.

Only a handful of restaurants or bars are privileged to have riverfront property. Psycho Suzie’s is one of those places. In the warm months, the patio is irresistible, and the atmosphere is like a vacation. Be warned - the drinks are some of the strongest in the city!

We came here for our anniversary and it was fun. Our waiter was super sweet and hospitable. They had so many great appetizers to choose from, we ended up ordering four different ones along with drinks. They know their rum and cocktails. Loved the ambience and theme.

Loved the old location. This was my first to Nicollet Mall...Layout makes it difficult to see the stage...perhaps they could install step up levels. Too many people were talking thru the whole concert...please ask to turn off cell phones AND refrain from loud talking. GREAT show...Why did Spyro Gyro cut off the concert early??? Usually they go a few minutes over!!

From the moment I walked into the Dakota Jazz Club, I was completely taken by the ambiance—intimate, warm, and full of character. The lighting, the decor, and the energy in the room set the perfect tone for a night of live music. The music itself? Absolutely phenomenal! And let’s not forget the food—truly excellent. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, complementing the evening perfectly without stealing the spotlight from the music. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking for a special night out, the Dakota delivers on every level. I’ll definitely be back.

Had an underwhelming experience. The venue seems too large for a jazz club to me. I was expecting to feel the music not watch it on a screen because I was so far from the stage. My food wasn't great either, the roe was overpowering in the deviled eggs and my grits were undercooked in my shrimp and grits. That being said the drinks were good and the place has a good vibe and great staff. I might have enjoyed my visit more with a different artist but I'm not sure I'd go back again.

LOVE this place! Visiting from the east coast and decided to check out this club since it was where Prince has played and frequented. The absolutely terrific saxophonist, Kenni Holmen, who also played and toured with Prince gave an AMAZING concert! What an extraordinary musician! The vibe in this club is so cool and chill and the food was delicious. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our last evening in Minneapolis! Highly recommend!

My favorite live music venue! Dakota is an intimate space with comfortable amenities. I never hesitate to see artists in this space.

Saw the tribute band for Patti, Chaka, and Gladys. Band was great. Drinks were good. Food was great. Waitress was distracted. She could never remember to get back to me and my wife on simple things like ice. We had to ask the bartender server to bring us things we asked for three times over - and we ate over each course offering. So she was a damper but otherwise great band. Consider layout change to enhance visibility also additional camera angles to get the full stage would be great. Live cameraman with feeds to the monitor would do the trick. Finally a/c - please cut it on. The music makes it worth it but room to improve.

Sam Grisman Project was outstanding. The venue is superb. The service, excellent. You should go.

Visited the Blue Door Pub today on the spur of the moment after a walk along the river. What a delightful surprise. I had no idea what to expect - just what is a "Blucey". I had Michael, our server, order for me, and was surprised with a "Cease and Subsist" burger and tater tots, along with an interesting story about the name that is too long to include here. The burger was just right - not a huge hunk of meat, nor a small patty, between a fresh roll with just the right amount of sauce to make it way more than good. The tater tots were small and crisp, slightly over salted, and plentiful. My partner had a salad with chicken that was equally good. Even the music - an eclectic mix of blues - was enjoyable.

I ordered a juicy Lucy for delivery and when I received it, the middle was extremely pink. It was concerning! I felt like I was eating a raw burger and it made me extremely nervous considering I am pregnant. I’m unsure if the pink coloring is from the liquid inside or not, but it seems to be a little too pink compared to the other times I’ve ordered/been here. Very disappointed :(

Excellent everything. Can’t beat $5 cheeseburgers for happy hour on a Monday night. Tator Nachos were gobbled up immediately. Plenty of fries and cooked to perfection. Waitress was attentive and very friendly. Will be back. Great location in a fun neighborhood sports bar in the Longfellow neighborhood in Minneapolis.

A friend of mine lives in the area and said this place was excellent. He was right. I went with the Blucy, as it just felt right being a visitor. It was simple and tasty. The special burger had roast beef and barbecue sauce and was good as well. The hand cut fries and buffalo chicken nuggets were excellent. But the star of the show were the Frogtown Nugs. That Thai peanut sauce was incredible and I could’ve eaten a ton of them. They are a must try.

This is a Guy Fieri Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives restaurant. Deservingly so. When I got here at 5pm I was a little worried. There was nobody here. I thought oh no. By the time I left at 6pm the place was packed like I expected it to be when I got there. I have the Blue Door at #7 out of 66 other places. I was slightly bummed that they don’t have the Spam Balls anymore, but I’ll get over it. Enjoy…

Very nice local tavern. The burgers are pretty good, though maybe a bit more on the greasy side. But mostly that's OK. The cheese curds are pretty good as well. And they have a huge assortment of beers that are all at an affordable rate (unlike many other places).

We each had a different Blucys and crispy tots. The Blucy ( their take on Juicy Luicy) was delicious, clearly quality meat was used. The tots were some of the best, very crisp. The restaurant was very busy on a Friday night.

Great bath, great team, great food. This is one of the cleanest stadiums I think I've ever seen. And dare I say it, they had enough toilets!? I didn't have to wait a single minute to pee! Waited even less for my hotdog! Go gophers!

Awesome venue with the great location. Farm aid 40 was spectacular the place was packed in the evening. super nice day partly cloudy with awesome breeze through the place. Good acoustics. Plenty of bathrooms and vendors. Great place to bring kids also handicap accessible. I would definitely go back to this place. The only downside that I saw is that it's not near a gas station.

Good experience attending the Nebraska game. The staff was all friendly when we used the concession stand and entered the stadium. Easy access with fast lines. The seating (we had regular fold down chairs vs bleacher seats) was a lot better than other stadiums we’ve been to. Good fan base at this game and a nice win!

Very nice stadium with handicapped accessible seating. Excellent view, even from the top row. Clean washrooms. Good food choices. All the employees we encountered were very helpful. Good sound.

Very mixed reviews. I saw both sides of this place. The super special people had amazing buffet of Aramark. The supporters of Farm Aid aka GA HAD limited access to water. They did run out if beer and bottles of water. Staff was tired and guest also were not really for a 13 hour show. I heard many folks were food sick. This could of been a larger topic.

We took the train from downtown Minneapolis and it was a great choice. Dropped us off by one of the entrances. The lines looked bad to get in the stadium, but they went quickly. Easy to find our seats and the lines were not long for food and drinks. Beautiful venue.

Attended farm aid 40 here and had a blast. Biggest downside was n0t being able to use cash but other than that seating was nice and it is a pretty spacious stadium

Old school gastropub with interesting choices of beers, inventive food and warm service. I tried their blood orange beer & really liked it. Their wild rice burger was average- the avocado used was over ripe & it kinda stole the thunder. The fried cheese curds were quite tasty but wish they were less oily.

I went to Town Hall last week and definitely enjoyed the experience. I had the Cuban panini which was great and two beers. My server was also friendly and let me sample quite a few beers and explained the beer list in detail. They are very strong in most styles and as someone who primarily likes ales/lager it was great. It is definitely up there in the Minnesota craft beer scene. I will definitely go back to Town Hall.

Prompt and friendly service, fries well battered and seasoned, burger super juicy. What's not to love?

We stopped in for a round of drinks and an appetizer. The beer was great and the cheddar jalapeno pretzel was yummy! The wait staff looked busy but they did a great job of interacting with their customers.

The craft beer selection is amazing grab a flight of ipas when you're here.

Ended up at this place for the first time in May because it was right next to the hotel and we've been craving it ever since. Ate both of our meals here this time... Thursday and Friday. Everything is delicious!! Food, beer, cocktails!! So good!! The apple sausage on the K Platter is amazing!! Sweet Corn Nachos and Townhall Tots - worth the trip alone! Naan Tacos, Walleye BLT, Penthouse Burger... I wish I had another stomach. Can't wait for our next stay down here to come back and try something else. We LOVE this place!!

Getting There: Take the Green Line and get off at West Bank, then walk up the Cedar Ave steps and turn right. A quick block-ish and here you are. Food: Wow. Imagine a gourmet Big Mac. That’s the flavor of the Juicy Lucy at Town Hall Brewery. Amazing. I enjoyed every. single. bite. (Sort of regretting splitting it with my husband). I could have selfish devoured that in an instant. We sat at the bar and the service was stellar. Kind, helpful, and patient as we figured out our beer flights scouring Untappd (as the obvious out of towners we are). Also try the short Rib Poutine. The gravy is made from their Oatmeal Stout beer. Love that. Atmosphere: Really cool old bar atmosphere with rich dark woods and a lovely display of bourbons. Sit and eat at the bar and get flights of beer! Favorite beers: Czar Jack Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, Boreal Hills IPA, and Red Beverly Spiced Belgian-Style Red Ale.

First off. We were greeted by a very friendly staff. The atmosphere was great ....but when I tell you this chicken was paper thin, I'm not kidding! This wasn't worth the price & maybe I just got the wrong thing...but my whole family was disappointed! It was just a bad food experience! That's not what I was expecting when i walked in!

Get a grape ape or don’t go at all! Just kidding! This is one of my favorite bars in MSP. I frequented the Loon after work when I worked in the NBA, and it was something special to come back after all these years and see its charm and success unchanged. The atmosphere and energy here is always on point and the bar staff is quality. The food is just fine, no complaints. I highly recommend wetting your whistle at the Loon when you’re in the Twin Cities. Preferably, with a grape ape!

Service was good and the location was right by my hotel. I thought for them being “known for their chili” it could have been better. It was just regular chili nothing crazy. The fries were nice and hot.

No non-sense local taverm with strong baseball theme and a menu full of opportunities to try local classics such as wild rice soup and wisconsin cheese curds. Definetely recommend a visit.

The 8ball deluxe or the loon addict chicken sandwiches are both awesome. All of the chili's are great. And even the basic stuff is worth while, get the fries with the house made red ranch if you just want a snack or the southwest egg rolls. Sit at the bar, good service, get a grape ape.

Chili was way salty. Could have given me a bigger plate for my fries, enough for ketchup, and "waygu" burgers were lean, over cooked ground beef. Basically lied. 0 for 3. Waitress didn't want to hear it. Guage of food quality.

We went after the Billy Strings concert. Unfortunately their taps were down but as always, our fabulous bartender Jason came through for us. Love this place. Great atmosphere and awesome staff. Highly recommend.

It was a nice place. Atmosphere was neutral to me. Nothing memorable but nothing bothersome. I guess with the name like dangerous man maybe I had too many expectations? Beer was good but I can't say that I would make a special trip to go back.

Interesting that the merch/growler store is separate from the brewery (so have to make two purchases). Lots of beer choices friendly and quick service. Lots of seating options. Love the plants around the seating area.

Very cool space in a neat neighborhood. Workers were all super friendly and helpful. Beer was unfortunately not nearly as good as we had hoped based on Untappd ratings. Was fun to stop by for a bit nonetheless.

Same of the best stouts I have ever had. I can attest to the many many positive reviews for the peanut butter porter. It's amazing 🙌🏻 I miss it. We don't live in MN anymore, and we miss the level of deliciousness we always experienced when we came here.

It's a lively place hosting a younger crowd. People brought in their own games. Lots of warm wood and decent sound control kept the noise manageable. 18 beers on tap. I tried 4 and they didn't match my flavor pallet. Lots of grain flavor in the beers. Overall, I'd come back for the atmosphere, but not for the flavor profile

The brewery's product was adequate, but the tap room's ambiance (art) was uninspired, and their seating situation was enough of a problem that the poor/rude service became insufferable. Unimpressive & not worth the time/energy. I did like there bathroom setup.

Had the chocolate milk stout...decent alcohol level at 5.1%. good color, decent white band, tasted smooth, rich, balanced roast without being too heavy on the paper with sweet notes. Would come back for this soon. Server was friendly, knowledgeable on the beer and cheese. Paired my stout with tomme fermier and happy with the recommendation...

The service was lovely and our waiter was really nice. I love the layout of the restaurant and the vibe was very nice. However, the food wasn't as expected. The only dish that I genuinely like was the appetizer ribs. Most of the other food was still palatable but still a little too salty. We were only able to finish it after getting more rice. The flying tiger steak salad was way too sour and salty. I wasn't able to eat more after the first bite. I would say that it didn't fit my preferences, but if you like sour and salt food and sour drinks, this would be a good option.

Hai Hai has a fun but noisy atmosphere and an interesting menu with some creative takes on Southeast Asian flavors. The cocktails leaned a bit too sweet and could’ve used a stronger pour, though the presentation of the dishes was definitely eye-catching. That said, the overall experience felt a bit uneven. Some dishes were really flavorful, while others were underwhelming for the price. Service was friendly. The lively energy is great if you’re in the mood for a bustling night out, but it can make conversation difficult. It’s a nice spot to try once, especially if you’re looking for something a little different, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me.

Upon reading Rave reviews on this place. I decided to take my Mom out for her birthday here. The food was pretty unflavorful. Pretty but unflavorful. Let alone it was pretty cold. Almost every dish we ordered came out cold or the the meet was just plain rock hard/overcooked. Couldn't finish anything besides the wonton soup. I would suggest to stick to the starters appetizer area. The rest of the dishes were subpar/undercook/cold. The kids menu was pretty bad. I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend it for any kids. Upon asking the waitress what came with the Mock Duck she said it was mock duck with sauce on top. I told her I didn't want any sauce on top but plain and on the side. She agreed. Once we got the food it was smothered in the mock duck(which looked like beef stew). My kids couldn't even keep it in. Me tasting the food it was horrid. Imagine eating spaghettioos chunky with meat that looks like beef. We pushed it to the side. Never again. Dropped $200 on pretty avg food. I say go to a real Asian restaurant. This was pretty bad experience. Service from the host to the waitress was bad. Both looked like they wanted to leave zero emotions besides looking mad. Music was pretty loud. Almost zero sense with the atmosphere. Playing indie hip hop music. Like what?

Great southeast asian cuisine! Loved the ribs and spring rolls, the wontons were delicious as well. The beef dish was spicy and tasty as well. The only miss for me was rhe chicken thigh, it tasted a little too charred and dry. Would come back and try more dishes. :)

Such a gem of a place! We went here looking for something refreshing and boy did we hit the jackpot. We were absolutely blown away by the flavor of our meals. We loved the atmosphere. The plants inside everywhere were incredible and the patio was spacious, breezy & shaded and overall adorable. Drinks were strong and large The banana bread pudding dessert was phenomenal!

Really delicious food from James Beard winning restaurant Hai Hai and Chef Christina Nguyen! This was my first time dining and I was left impressed with the flavor profile of everything we tried. Ratings out of 10, Keith Lee style, to follow. We got an array of items from the starters menu which included Salt & Pepper Fried Tofu (10/10: Toasted rice powder, lime leaf tofu sauce, Thai chili), Malaysian Fried Shrimp (9/10: Buttermilk-dredged & fried shrimp, Malaysian curry spice, fried curry leaves, red onion, ginger-sambal aioli), Tocino Grilled Beef (100/10: Grilled boneless short rib in sweet & savory Filipino tocino marinade, atchara pickled veg, fermented fresno cane vinegar, sticky rice), and Chicken Laab Lettuce Wraps (8/10: Ground chicken, lime, fish sauce, lemongrass, herbs, toasted rice, chili, baby gem lettuce, cucumber, sesame-shrimp chips). Everything was excellent, I loved the Asian flavors, everything worked so well together and was so savory. My favorite was the Tocino, classic Filipino flavors reminded me of my time in San Diego with my pinoy coworkers and their delicious food. Tocino is close to my heart! During the day there's plenty of light throughout the restaurant, at night it's very dimly lit. The noise level is pretty high as well, I had to shout across the table so that my friend could hear what I was saying. The acoustics of the restaurant aren't great, but the vibe and aesthetic is wonderful! I would gladly come back to Hai Hai any time!

Always one of our favorites! The dill fish is awesome, literally all of the small plate options are amazing (shrimp toast and ribs!), beef randang is one of my faves, we love the spring rolls... I could go on and on. We got the cabbage with lobster this time and it was OK but much too salty for our taste and perhaps not a favorite. For the most part, however, you cannot go wrong with anything that sounds good to you here!

we came for early dinner on a saturday and were seated immediately, but there was a line when we left. we all got The Burger. the menu was definitely smaller than we expected! the burger was good, just 2 beef patties, cheese, and pickles. it was definitely on the saltier side but still ok for $19. we also got fries, which came in a big basket. we also got the mystery cookie—our flavor was white chocolate coconut passion fruit pineapple, which was pretty yummy!

Burger was absolutely delicious. Maybe the best I’ve had however, the service was not. Ordered two blood orange margaritas, both came half full. We couldn’t believe it. The waitress simply said this was their 10oz drinks meanwhile everyone else’s drink around us were full. The waitress did replace with a normal margarita and surprisingly came overflowing. Asked for ice 3 times before receiving… not sure if I will make it a point to come back especially for drinks.

Every now and then you just need a good burger. Fries, and Old Fashioned. When you do, I recommend a trip down to the Parlour … enjoy!

I have heard of Parlour before in some magazines for top burger spots in the Twin Cities. It had your usual suspects like Red Cow or Blue Door and those are good burgers in their own right. I don't say it lightly that when I went to Parlour and got the burger it was a burger apart from the rest. It is a simple execution of smash burgers but something they do made it taste like something grand. In so much, I went back a week later to see if it was a fluke and I was equally happy with the experience. It will become my once a year burger for as long as I'm in the Twin Cities.

One of the best burgers I’ve ever had and the whiskey list was incredible. This place has a speakeasy vibe, and a great bar staff. I’d definitely go back. It’s up there with Au Cheval or Gretel.

Such a great burger spot! I might be bias since it’s in my neighborhood, but this is my go to when craving a burger with fries. The Swiss aioli is just fantastic and the burger is great. I always recommend this spot and take visitors there for a bite and drink. Just stop in, have a drink, or grab a meal you’ll be glad you did!

Parlour was a great experience. A somewhat hidden, downstairs bar. Great music, vibes and of course, food. Jordan S was our waitress and was awesome. She even gifted our table a mystery cookie, which was unique and also delicious. “The burger” did not disappoint even with the hype. Give it a go! I ordered: fires for the table with dill aioli, “the burger”, and the Florida man for my drink. All were fantastic.

Prohibition Bar was our favorite bar to take out-of-town friends on our tour of the Twin Cities. It used to have so much character with the decor. Totally worth spending $25+ for a cocktail/glass of wine with a view. It was recently renovated. It needed an update because the furniture had gotten so worn. But now it looks sad and boring. Even “the bed” is gone. Service was great though and cocktails were good.

I am a huge fan of cocktail bars and decided to stop in based on the good reviews. When I got up the bar despite it being busy, there was a little sofa that opened up just to the right of the bar by a window. I sat down, and a waitress did walk by a couple times and look at me but didn’t stop over. Since I was limited on time, I went up to the bar and ordered. I got a caterpillar kimono. The drink was good but not amazing, and I considered the price tag a little steep for what it was. The nook I was in was pretty small, maybe 3 feet between the little sofa and the wall with a little table in the middle. It was really odd that I had a few people squeeze past the table to look out the window while I was there. The decor seemed meh, like it was a random hotel space that they added a bar and some random tables and did not give speakeasy vibes. The bathroom was also a very unique set up with the sink. If I was back in the area I would probably stop at the bar on the first floor instead of coming upstairs.

This out of the ordinary speakeasy is an unexpected treat. I think of speakeasies being in clandestine basements off alleys. Although you’ll miss that thrill this gem makes up for it with city views and posh nooks to linger and sip in. The cocktails have prohibition inspired names and are out of this world. The small plates all looked fantastic. We tried the meatballs and I’d highly recommend these. They have a kick. The bartender was friendly and informative. It has a bit of a more glamorous entrance up the art deco styles elevators. I can’t wait to go back.

The service was very nice and speedy but not a big fan of the layout of the place and we went in a group of 6 had a hard time finding a spot and even the one we found was a little awkward and the interior was a bit off not really able to see outdid so didn't really get the beautiful view of being the city despite being on the 27th floor. The lighting was awkward and the area we were sitting the light was flickering the whole time and the server rols us that they just got renovated so it qas disappointing. But the drinks we good but again with the price point I expected a higher quality experience. But I would say if you are siting at the bar top it's cute would recommended for 2-4 people group but nothing more then that.

We found this place by mistake while walking around Minneapolis waiting for a dinner reservation. It was such an incredible find, taking the elevator up gave me Tower of Terror vibes. We didn’t order any food so I can’t give them a proper rating however the drinks were excellent.

Beautiful space and fantastic views, but it was very crowded and loud when we visited. We weren't able to get our own seats. Luckily there was a couple that very kindly invited us to sit with them. I think they had closed off half of the place for a private event, so I don't think it would normally be like that. The drinks were great! I'd love to come back when it's a bit less busy.

Easily one of the best bars I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. It has a laidback, speakeasy vibe with an assortment of comfortable seats arranged in nooks. Their drinks are well-made and aren't shy on the spirits. Take the elevator to the 27th floor. It's up to you how you figure out how to get to that floor (suggest asking the front desk.) The elevators open up right into the bar. It's very cool.

Galactic Pizza is as close to a perfect pizza restaurant as I can imagine. If you have read my other reviews you may notice that anything at above 4.5 is a 5-star review, but a rating over 4.8 is extremely rare; giving Galactic a 4.9 here. --- First up, the pizza, which is excellent; they offer a large variety of high quality ingredients, all sourced with high standards for the planet and taste - served in appropriate amounts on the ideal crust. Also, great choices for beverages, including limited but well chosen wine and beer - but many other nice options. --- No wobbly tables! Friendly and efficient service, the place is clean and maintained well. It also has interesting decor that fits the idea of what they are all about, and what a pizza joint should have in terms of atmosphere. ---- In the end, there is literally nothing wrong and essentially everything right about this place. The only reason this is not the first 5.0 rating I have ever given (yet) is because I only tried pizza and have only been one time. I have no reason to believe any other food would be anything but great or another visit would prove drastically different - so upon next visit will evaluate all that. But in the meantime, stop in or order some pizza. I am confident you will be glad you did.

Met a friend for lunch here. While it was empty for weekday lunch, the owner made us feel welcome and served us. Gave us suggestions on what to get and even brought back a free tasting of another pizza he was cooking up for himself. Friendly, good pizza, quality selection of drinks and food. Pizza reminded me of New York style. Expensive ($24ish for the pizza we got in the picture) but what restaurant eating out now isn’t?

this is the absolute best pasta and pizza i have had at a restaurant. there are tons of gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. John really seems to care about his quality of food, and it shows. i got the pasta, and my girlfriend got the pizza, and we were both snagging bites from each other with how good it was. When i come back to Minnesota, this is a must stop.

Decided to go on a boring Tuesday afternoon after I had heard that their dining room had re-opened (I’ve had their food delivered). Practically had the place to myself, as there was what looked like a couple dining in too. They have vegan 🌱 & gluten free options available. Bathroom was clean which I always appreciate. Art work makes you smile or even chuckle a little. In a good way. I ended up ordering the Vegan nuggets & Rosa from the appetizer menu. Wasn’t a fan of the nuggets but the Rosa was decent. Wanna try other vegan options next time. I’ll be back. 😄

My wife and I were visiting from our of town, and we eat..probably more than our fair share of pizza. We stopped in because we saw the pictures online and thought it looked fun. So glad we stopped. I got wings and a Paul Bunyon pizza, made with all local ingredients. My wife got just cheese. Everything we ate was spectacular and the service was so friendly and top notch. Next time we happen to be in the Twin Cities we are definitely coming back

I’ve been walking and driving by here for at least 15 years and always wanted to stop but never had. Tonight, I walked by the back alley and it smelled so good I had to stop. Had the Paul Bunyan pizza and a couple salads. Server was super friendly and welcoming. The pizza had morel mushroom, tomato, bison sausage, and mozzarella. Was really good, especially the crust. I gotta go back and try their homemade mozzarella sticks.

As a pizza aficionado that travels a good amount, I know my pizza...and Galactic Pizza makes a damn good pie. I had the regular Paul Bunyon, which features all-Minnesota-sourced toppings. Unique twist and a great option. Mark, my server, was very helpful and is the kind of guy that can make great suggestions based on what you're looking for. He's really good with first time visitors too, as I witnessed him dealing with a few other groups. It wasn't super busy, so he took the time to 'talk pizza' for a few minutes. Really good sauce, some unique combinations, great staff, and a welcoming place overall. Keep up the good work GP, you represented your city well and I'll definitely be coming back!

My family and I often come here to enjoy the food. It's great. Will come back here.

Met former co-workers for lunch. No more lunch items that we saw on the menu. Food was decent. Service was okay. Kind of loud with kids yelling and some adults on cell using speaker function.

We ordered the boneless wings in classic buffalo sauce and the classic combo platter. Unfortunately, the boneless chicken was quite dry and the buffalo sauce was very sour to my taste. Other than that, the service and atmosphere was great.

Family went here for my nephew‘s 18th birthday dinner. The food was very good. The service was great. We wish they did the happy birthday sing-along but once we started singing, the whole restaurant clapped so that was nice.

The food was fine, but we were charged for games on the table tablet that we never played. When we asked the waiter about it, she just shrugged and said there’s a glitch. We didn’t receive a refund, which was frustrating. It feels unfair to pay for something we didn’t use.

Rubbery chicken felt like a fidget toy. Sent it back and still paid for it.. But what can I say, he adjusted the bill once for my drink already. Shame on me for getting my own drink at the bar because he never came back before the end of happy hour. Maybe if the place was packed I'd understand but the two other servers WHO DID check on me couldn't find my server either so🤷🏽‍♀️ .. just a frustrating experience. Left hungry and upset.

Everything was very delicious, and the waitress was very attentive. It took me a long time to rate it because I forgot her name, but she is excellent at her job,The food was delivered separately but it didn't take long. my children loved it and we hope to return soon 😉By the way, every good restaurant serves water upon arrival and they didn't do it here. 😐

Very nice intimate setting with unique menu options and excellent service. The snacks and small plates are wonderful for smaller appetites or trying multiple dishes without overeating.

I love this spot and this place has easily become one of my favorites. The wine selection and espresso martini anyway you want it is a win. I absolutely love the mussels. They stay open late. They have street parking, great music, and just always an overall good crowd. The vibes and service meet the bar for me and I would recommend.

My girlfriend and I both love frequenting Nightingale for date nights! Everything is always fantastic, from the atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious plates! We always start with a selection of East and West coast raw oysters, priced at $4/each. It’s always made sure of that you have fresh cutlery between courses, smoked olives, water, and a cocktail in hand! We typically are helped out by our two favorite servers at Nightingale Mohamed and Greyson, who nevertheless stop by our table on our visits to say hello, both are extraordinary and never fail to make our dining out extra special. We also love when we see Anna and Shane working! Recently they’ve had some menu switch ups, so we haven’t been able to try all the new items but our favorites remain the Mushroom Bruschetta, Chicken Wings, Grilled Octopus, Hanger Steak, and Steamed Mussels! For drinks we love the Four Horseman, Blood on the Tracks, Coupe D’evil… and trying their rotating cocktail of the moment! When we can we love to stop in on a Monday night for half off bottles of wine (Mohamed always has great wine recommendations!), and Wednesday’s for their famous Lobster Spaghetti! Overall, Nightingale never ceases to exceed our dining expectations!

This place was had a great vibe! There were so many plants that added to the aesthetic. There was also an outdoor seating area which was super cute. The staff was very friendly. The food was made relatively quickly. They also were great at keeping our water cups full and taking away empty plates. We got the deviled egg, mushroom bruschetta, crispy duck confit, steak tartar, and the dinner special: crispy chicken sandwich. The bread here was SO GOOD. It was very crispy and flavorful.

After a month of living in Minneapolis, my spouse and I decided to try a couple of the neighborhood joints in Greater Uptown. There are so many sub-neighborhoods in the Twin Cities, it's hard to keep track. Nightingale is on Lyndale South, if that's a neighborhood. Walking in, fearful of a young crowd, I was surprised at the eclectic group of patrons. That was cool. We sat down at the bar, finding two open seats on a Saturday night. It was early. Everyone behind the bar treated us with warmth and good cheer, especially Riley. He mixed me a Coupe de Ville, which knocked my socks off. My toes are still wiggling the next day. After two, the world looked great to me. The white wine from Calabria was a unique and special pour, rich with hints of melon and apple. My spouse loved it. Food was also special, the smoked smoked chicken liver pǎté lip-smackin' good, and my mezze maniche was a pasta worthy enough to be on the menu at Dario, the best pasta place in town. The hanger steak put a smile on my wife's face. That's difficult, sitting next to me. We had a fantastic time at Nightingale, and know it will become a "hang-out" for the two of us.

The atmosphere is a bit loud but welcoming. The staff are super friendly and they go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. The cuisine is delicious and well prepared. Will visit again.

My boyfriend and I popped in the other night and had a blue wave which was excellent and the coca de cup. Wine was half off bottle so of course we got one. The Moscato was perfectly bubbly.

Tattersall is a distillery and bar/cocktail room in NE Minneapolis. The drink menu is somewhat standard, but the unique part is that they distill their own spirits. So, all the drinks feel (and are) extremely local, carefully crafted, and delicious. The vibe is chic and relaxed with an industrial-yet-cozy charm. I’d recommend it locals and tourists alike!

A friend invited me here for a cocktail and I loved the place. I had a Old Fashion and a Manhatten and they were both absolutely fantastic. A very lively place with great energy. Looking forward to going back and trying more cocktails. Even if your from the outer suburbs it is worth the trip to Northeast to have one of their cocktails. Also, they have great tee-shirts and other merchandise!!

Cocktails: amazing. Service: really good. Food truck fare: superb. Ambience: What ambience? Go with friends and have a fun time sipping any of their well made cocktails. Enjoy!

Great aesthetic being tucked into a warehouse; hit the distillery feel on the mark, but they have their own style. Bartenders were interesting to watch, as they crafted their cocktails. Reservation needed for table! We snuck in to the bar and got two seats without one, but got there at opening before it filled up. Gin Fizz was a great option for a light drink.

It is interesting how often we forget the tried and true and rush to the new. The Tattersall distillery was forced by antiquated Minnesota liquor laws to move to Wisconsin if they wanted to increase production in their distillery. However, their tasting room in the Thorpe building in Northeast Minneapolis is still open. Instead of waiting hours at the "hot" new places, come on back to Tattersall. It was started in 2015, and has been going strong since then. We made reservations, but even on Saturday night we did not need them. We sat at the bar as usual, and the two bartenders were awesome. They were extremely knowledgeable about all the various spirits made by Tattersall, and we had little tastes of some of the new items as we ordered. I did a flight of their two new gins and their absinthe. I liked them a lot. One gin gets a two week aging in chardonnay barrels. This takes the hotness out of their original gin in a very nice way. It doesn't leave it oaky. Apparently it has won a number of awards in various competitions. The Rosso gin is new, and it is very good! Apparently they added rose petals and berries to their mix of botanicals. It is a very nice gin. We tried two cocktails. They change their cocktail menu every 3 months, so it is good to stop in and have a look. My husband had the Houndstooth, which is rye, amaro, meadowsweet, and black strap bitters. We saw a lot of them heading out to other customers. Their take on a classic gin-based negroni was really good. Their orange bitter liqueur, their amaro, and their sour cherry liqueurs gave it a cherry back note that was quite interesting. They only serve popcorn, pretzels, and beef jerky, but there was a pop up Asian restaurant in the Thorpe building if you wanted to get food. They also have a room where you can buy their spirits. Nice! At $12 and $13 for most drinks, it is also more affordable than the newer glitzy places. It was a super relaxing place for a cocktail. And I love not having to drive around in search of parking!

Really enjoyed this spot. Cocktails were very good. Service was great. I’m a pretty big bourbon person so I had to try the whiskey flight. They were good but I won’t be sitting down drinking these neat. More of a cocktail whiskey for me personally. But enjoyed the experience and will definitely enjoy going back.

This place has an awesome feel to it! They have craft cocktails that are delicious and yet still reasonably priced. Bartenders are friendly and attentive, and it's fun watching them mix drinks!

This place was busy, they had a DJ and there was a great atmosphere. I decided to try the 2 BA stouts, on the pricey side at $9 ea for 4oz. Unfortunately, they didn't have any BA flavor profile, it's sad because I didn't even drank half of them..

Me and my best friend stopped by about an hour and a half before they closed and they were basically empty apart from like 3 women at the bar that moved to the patio and two people that stopped in to pick up cans to go. They don’t serve food here but their selection of beers and THC drinks makes up for it completely. The space is giant and I was so happy to see they have so many events they put on throughout the month. Before we left we stopped by the bathroom and noticed they have a Photo Booth and immediately we beyond excited, this is such a cute and smart way to show off their brand and makes people have such a great and lasting memory of this brewery! I loved it and will be returning soon to hangout on their spacious patio and those pinball machines!

Exceptional beer / special people / great vibes… Modist is my one happy place in town and guaranteed amazing times. Every single person and every beer guarantees that! Please dont hesitate to visit!

Awesome super friendly brewery! Gabriel was very informative and gave me great recommendations for the area before the BoSox game. If there was a perfect brewery vibe this is it!

Really cool and lively place. Nice selection of beers on tap, they even had one with side pull and one cask. NEIPA apparantly was the main style for them as i understood. Tried four beers here. A pilsner, impy stout, and two neipas. Double Ghost Vision: Citra Nectaron was really nice.

One of our ( me and my dog) favorite breweries in the Northloop. They are super dog friendly and staff is attentive and down to earth. Appreciate the Happy Hour!!!

The beer was great and the service was friendly. It had a cool pre-game vibe prior to the Twins game. I could have done without the DJ, perhaps other like that junk.

Really like the beer selections and the pizza from Farina Pizza Kitchen is amazing, one of the best crusts in the metro and very unique pizza menu along with the classics, highly recommend them if you're looking for a cold beer and great pizza!!

Another fantastic discovery! Fair State Brewing Cooperative in Minneapolis, Minnesota, offers a great vibe and even better beer. I visited several times while we were in the area and definitely recommend it. As for the beer, I really enjoyed the Köld, a Kölsch-style ale—such a great taste!! 🍻

I've been a huge fan of their Mirror Universe beer and finally got to visit in person. I was excited to try some new hazy IPAs that were on tap here and the tap room is a welcoming and friendly place. Great staff and reasonable prices. Parking and the neighborhood safety with vagrants loitering outside is however a concern I would have before returning.

Roomy and comfortable brewery off of Central. The staff is always friendly, there’s plenty of seating inside, and there’s a nice patio in the back. During the day this is a nice place to bring a book or get some work done. There’s street parking on Central or I recommend parking in the neighborhood behind it.

The pizza was great! Not as much variety on the draft menu as we would have liked. I did enjoy the Mirror Universe IPA.

just a solid brewery all around in northeast with good vibes, classic northeast setting, very solid beer, and friendly staff. $30 for a pitcher and a pizza on tuesday is a solid deal for anyone who doesn’t wanna order in, but really the area offers lots of good options as well. definitely a great option in the area that you won’t be disappointed with!

One of the best local breweries in the twin cities. They have a really good variety of beers on tap across all kinds of styles. When I visited I tried everything from a barrel aged barleywine to a fruit sour and everything was delicious. They do have some food available but you can also bring your own food which is cool. We came for trivia on a Wednesday as well which was fun. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in town.

Family friendly brewery. Stopped in on vacation and really enjoyed our time. Breweries are a go to with kids and this one was no exception, casual environment and space for kids. There were lots of other families there which always makes me feel better when me kids start to get antsy. They have a little kids corner that has some kids tables and kids books. Enjoyed the purple rain beer and they even have Honest Kids juice boxes available for purchase. No food available at the brewery but you can order pizza from across the street and bring it in. Pizza is wood fire and I as very good! I also saw lots of families packing their own food too for kids. High chairs available too. Overall it was a great place!

So many choices of beer. We tried many flavors but I enjoyed the one that had wild rice in it. The brew was dark but it tastes light. The merchandise to purchase was weak and they didn’t serve food on sight but there was a pizza place next door that delivered to you. Fun place and we sat under an old water tower.

Happened upon this place totally by accident. So glad we did! Totally chill spot that is super kid friendly. Great beer. Had both of their ipa offerings and both were extremely drinkable 😁

Great brewery but even better outdoor space. Their outdoor seating makes them one of the best places in the cities when the weather is nice. Also having OG Zaza close by for a fantastic pie is an added bonus.

Very cool, chill spot. Great staff and nice beer selection, along with other drinks. The pink lemonade ale was exceptional and the hard seltzer is especially tasty—they add the syrup themselves. The merchandise is also really nice!

We had such a fun, memorable time at Lake Monster! It was an ideal place for our extended family group to meet; the space worked so well for the 80-year olds, the 3-year olds, and eveyone in-between. Great selection of beers, friendly and helpful staff, excellent pizza next-door. I was especially appreciative working with the event coordinator to reserve a couple tables and set up a few things. We hope to do the same when we're all in town again!

Can't say enough about this place. The beers were fantastic- every type of preference was addressed. The vibes are incredible. Wish we didn't live so far but incredible brewery! Cant wait to come back.

I appreciated the drinks, atmosphere and people working there. It takes them time to make the drinks so people just need to chill. The drinks are super tasty and the patio is dope!!! I just realized there sister location was stillheart!!! They both have amazing spaces and cocktails so check them both out. ❤️

MIRACLE AT LAWLESS - How much fun was this! Lawless Distillery divides up it’s space into drinking stations that have elaborate and fanciful holiday decorations. Each customer pays a set fee and travels from Station 1 through Station 4. At each station a specialized cocktail is served. The mixology was fantastic! Each drink was better than the next. They even mix cocktails san alcohol for those people eschewing alcohol. That wasn’t me, and by the fourth station, everyone was my buddy, and I loved the world. This was a fantastic idea, and we all had a grand time.

Lawless is a fun, classy (but casual) little bar tucked away amongst warehouses, easy to miss but impossible to forget. I came here for a specific event: guest bartending by a local (soon to be global) music legend, Nur-D, a night of fun drinks and live music in a laid-back but intimate setting with a good friend. We really enjoyed the vibe of the distillery, and the drinks were superb, filled with flavor and presented with care and precision. Definitely take a look at Lawless if you are in the area!

Some imaginative drinks. Ambiance wasn't as great as you'd expect for a quasi speak easy. Prices were high on some drinks, but reasonable on others. Parking can be difficult.

Real awesome atmosphere and tasty drinks. A little bit more on the expensive side but definitely worth the experience and photos from the evening :) would go back! Excited to see what else the come up with for the upcoming years!

Great bar staff! Delicious drinks and ON POINT! build-your-own-daisy for adventurous people! Small snacks. Definitely will keep coming back! Great place for groups. Bartender Jeff ;) is awesome!

Great atmosphere. Craft cocktails. This is a great place to go. Was in town for the weekend and found this place on Google. I highly recommend. Staff is attentive. The drinks are well priced. If I lived here I’d be a regular.

We came to watch The Other Jeannie Retelle's one person show "Becoming my Mother" which was beautifully performed by an amazingly talented performer!! The huge Theater is a wonderful venue!

Best thing in Uptown. We start every night out with a comedy show. Incredible community and performers, and it’s a non-profit! They sell beer at the shows which is a plus. Laughed out loud at Temps, the Mess, the Life Robotic, and Shrieking Harpies (an improvised musical!). Recommend it with my whole heart.

Huge is a special place bursting with joy & laughter, if you have the opportunity to pop in for a show I highly recommend it! World class improvers, thoughtful classes, & a thriving community that promotes diversity.

Plan ahead notes: go early! We went half an hour before the show started and we were glad we did because parking in Lyn Lake is never simple. The theatre has a small lot, but it fills up quickly, so plan on meter/street parking. Also note that they currently request proof of vaccination. Review: very fun! We went to see Star Trek: the Next Improvisation and had a great time! The setting is small and casual (the theatre holds about 100) and the casts are very on point and funny. They have a small bar in the back of the house where you can get 1 drink for about $5, but I didn’t see any non-alcoholic choices, so something to note if you can’t have alcohol. Overall a fun time with lots of laughs!

I had an amazing time with BAEGS last night! They are incredibly skilled at making people laugh, and we spent the evening filled with laughter. If you are in the Uptown area, don't miss the chance to watch them perform live. It's a privilege to have such talented individuals in our community. Exciting news: They are moving to a bigger venue soon! Let's all show our support for HUGE and their mission to continue spreading joy everywhere.

It was a great improve show! For ten dollars, our family saw four different improve duos. Other than a couple of swear words, it was very family friendly. We bought the tickets online the same day and appreciated that there was no drink minimum. It would be fun to see them at their new venue.

This improv shop is a Twin Cities gem. 5 stars feels a bit biased on my part, so take the rating with a grain of salt. The mission/goals of the org are, among other things, focused on increasing diversity, which os awesome. The leadership is incredibly diverse and they seem to have made it a point to seek after (and support) teams/acts that are diverse as well. I have enjoyed every one of my times there and consider them an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a laugh in the Twin Cities. There are shows more or less every night. Parking can be difficult. There is a satellite lot nearby.

Our family has a blast visiting Bang Brewing!!! The beers were 10/10 and the setting is so darn peaceful! Sit and watch the pollinators come and go, can't wait to visit in the other seasons! Go and relax with a great beer and then be inspired to go tend to or make your native garden!!!

If you’re a fan of Pilsners, this is a must stop. Their Italian Pilsner is so clean, crisp, and balanced. Also there’s ample covered seating if it’s raining/snowing, wood fired oven, & staff is welcoming and friendly.

Really, honestly, one of the most unique taprooms in the entire world - and that's not just me saying it, I recently read that Bang received an award for being in the top 10 taprooms in America. Way to go, Bang! Surround yourself in the brewing process, smell the smells of brewing, enjoy the large outdoor space, and it's just next door to Urban Growler, so it's like a "two-fer"!

Outstanding patio, natural flower gardens, picnic tables, chairs indoor and outdoor seating areas to relax in. Beer, seltzers, etc. Outdoor wood fired pizza 🍕.

Tasty beer and tasty wood fired pizza by Pastel Pizza, with a nice spot to sit outside. We keep coming back for the great beers and the nice outdoor area with flowers.

Great experience! We really enjoyed sitting outside on a rainy day, enjoying our beers and the pollinator garden.

Admittedly, I came here for the pizza, but really liked the beer and the huge outdoor seating area. During the summer when the pizza oven is fired up, make sure ya grab one of those tasty unique pizzas!!

Great venue with such a variety of shows!

We love the Cedar Cultural Center. They bring in great music, it’s a compact yet open venue and the staff is awesome. Make it a point to find your way here. You won’t be disappointed!

They have a beer and thc liquor. I had an Arnie Palmer one. It was delicious! They have 🍪 that are gluten-free and delicious! The atmosphere is a lovely ambiance. The live band they had playing was phenomenal 🙌 👏 👌 should be on America's Got Talent.

What a great concert and venue. Scout Willis opened for Kingfishr and folks just check both out. Unbelievable voices and the energy they exude is infectious. Simply Brilliant.

One of the best venues in Mpls and, in my opinion, anywhere I've been. I have seen many of my favorite musicians here. Langhorne Slim, the High 48s, Jillian Rae, Elle PF, Communist Daughter, Mark Mallman, & Jig Jam come to mind. The ticket prices are very affordable all the time. I have always been greeted with positive attitudes from the volunteers and staff. Be sure to check out one of the finest venues in this city, nay, the world!

I came here to see a band in the middle of winter, until then I had never heard of this place before so didn’t know what to expect. Tickets for the show were inexpensive so that was a great start. Getting to the theatre, I was loving the big sign they have calling it out. Parking across the street in the garage was easy (but not free). Inside the stage is fairly small, although I was in at the last second I was really close to the stage. They had a giant coat rack for everyone’s coat in the corner which speaks about the size of this place. The folks serving drinks were really cool and friendly, smile from ear to ear. Overall this place is really pleasant and I know to expect a good time if I find myself here again.

A great place to catch a live performance! Sound man was spot on with the mix. The bar had a plethora of craft beer choices. The only knock is that there is crappy parking choices. Get an Uber/Lyft and you're ahead of the game.

Was there for Sunday Night Game. Vikings vs Falcons. This is a first class experience. Great stadium, friendly staff, great presentation and all around great time. Would have gave them a 5 star rating but, they need to follow Atlanta's example and lower their prices. $65 for parking, $80 for 4 beers, and the food was so expensive I didn't even bother.

Beautiful stadium! Seating was great, well marked, easy access. Lots of food and drink options. Large TV screens for replays. We were in level 2 and could see the field clearly. We enjoyed our whole experience. Helpful to know, bring a clear bag. The mini black bag I had that only held my cell phone was too big per their rules. Skip the hassle and just bring a small clear bag.

We went to a Vikings and Eagles game. We had a good time. This was our first time to this new stadium. It is built and laid out really well. Lots of bathrooms and lots of places to get something to eat. We parked about 10 minutes walk away. Parking was about $35 since it was event parking.

First time at the new stadium and it’s a big upgrade from the previous. Easy entry. Not far to walk from the entrance to the seating area. They have specific parking lots for each entrance and when you buy a ticket they tell you what entrance is best for you specifically. That was amazing. Parking is still expensive and so are tickets but if I’m talking about the stadium alone 5/5. Sounded great also! Went for McCartney (2025).

I visited U.S. Bank Stadium on October 19 to watch the Vikings take on the Eagles, it was an unforgettable experience. The stadium is absolutely stunning, from the outside the architecture alone is a sight to see, modern and impressive with sleek lines and a bold presence. Inside, the natural daylight pouring through the roof makes the whole space feel open and vibrant, adding to the excitement of game day. One thing that stood out was how well-designed the stadium is for fans. There were plenty of bathrooms and tons of places to grab food and beer, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable without long waits or hassle. But the best part of all? Being a Vikings fan in that sea of purple. Nothing beats joining in on the SKOL chant and hearing the Gjallarhorn echo through the stadium, it truly gives you chills. It’s a moment that makes you feel like part of something huge. U.S. Bank Stadium exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can’t wait to be back. SKOL! 🏈💜

We went for a Vikings game (shocking I know). The vibe at the games is unmatched. It’s such a fun experience. Most concessions take card only, so be aware of that. I never felt too hot or too cold during the game. The views are great, no matter your seat. Parking is a mess, as you’d expect. I’d recommend parking a few blocks away to try to get away from traffic and not pay an arms and a leg. Just walk it. You’ll be fine. Be ready to walk, the stadium is huge and it with the crowds it can take a while to get around. If you have the chance to go to a game, it’s definitely worth it.

Attending a Vikings game offers a unique and engaging experience, regardless of one's allegiance, making it a worthwhile activity for business travelers or vacationers. The atmosphere, including the "Skol" chant and the excitement following each score, is exhilarating. The fans are fun, and the stadium provides a vibrant and memorable setting, making it an excellent way to spend a Sunday.

It was super difficult to find our seats. When we got to our section, I asked the man working that section how to get to our seats. He directed me wrong. We climbed the steep stairs to find out it was the wrong section. Went back down and climbed the next set of steep stairs to find our seats. Tickets were expensive($86x2 for nosebleeds). Parking was expensive ($45). Merch was expensive($45 for a t-shirt). Drinks were INSANE ($18 for a bottle of water and a bottle of coke). But the experience was unforgettable!

This was a much better experience than previously. The sound and seats were great. Beverages and food slightly high priced. They were well staffed if you needed assistance finding anything. Very nice and helpful. Will definitely go back to this facility.

First time going to this arena for a concert. It was amazing, could see perfectly fine from the upper level. Really enjoyed the sky walk from parking to the venue and back. Linkin Park

We saw Sleep Token here and the show was ASTOUNDING but security confiscated someone’s Flamingo outfit for the show with no real explanation. The outfit wasn’t dangerous or disrespectful and the fans all loved it. I’m all for venues being diligent in security checks but a flamingo costume? Lol. Overall - I would probably not choose to visit the venue again unless necessary.

We went to see Pantera. After seeing them last time at the BankOne stadium I wasn't expecting very good acoustics. I was pleasantly surprised. All three bands sounded amazing we could see everything. Staff was helpful and friendly. We had a blast. Will return!

Beautiful stadium! Thoughtfully designed and good facilities. We'd been here for concerts but this was our first game. Wide variety of food options and beverages. Not always easy on the wallet but there are budget finds if you look for them. Very pleased that the water bottles have caps with only one type of plastic, so the entire bottle is recyclable - doesn't mean it gets recycled, but it's a step in the right direction! Would love to see even more commitment to reducing single-use plastics, and did appreciate the food trays are paper and compostable.

The venue is very nice! The AC works killer from where I sat. Parking was a cinch. Signage was excellent. Everyone at the venue was able to answer all of my questions. The guys checking the tickets were pretty funny too. Exiting the both venue and the parking structure was a breeze. And Target Center looked to be filled for the concert also.

My fiance and I were very happy that they accommodated our seating needs and helped out without blinking. The building vibe is very cool and the staff has been nice.

Had lots of fun and laughs at acme! Great comedians! Love the comedy club vibe. Drinks are O-Kay. We will be returning in the future!

Free tickets all birthday month long! Such a cool place, and the show was great. Intimate venue, not a bad seat in the house. Nice bar/restaurant area to grab a drink or food before the show. Parking is metered or paid lots so plan accordingly.

One of my favorite spots in town. Cool little venue, perfect size for a comedy club but with a great selection of talent from various comedians who tour. I've loved every show I've been to, even if the comic that happened to be performing wasn't my favorite. Good variety on the drink menu with generous sizes as well!

When I first purchased tickets I thought the process would be more difficult then it was. We called as we were unsure as to what was included with our tickets, and added dinner prior to the show. Our server Bobby did a fantastic job. We were assigned tickets during dinner and ended up with seats right up front. Thanks for a great evening, and we would do it again.

The comedy and servers were good, but the food wasn't very good, which is why I just gave 3 stars. I got the grilled chicken salad which was supposed to have a lemon soy dressing (and the server said it also had ginger), but the dressing just tasted like pure soy sauce. They were skimpy on the chicken and they put some sort of crunchy wontons on top, so you can't initially see how little chicken is on the salad. It was not filling at all, so we also got the cheese curds, which weren't any better than what you can get at the grocery store. We were there for a birthday, but they didn't do any complimentary dessert. One of my friends ordered a steak and wanted it rare, but they cooked it medium. We were the first ones there, and the server got us front & center seats, so we appreciate that! So, great service and comedy, but bad food.

Really great comedy, service, and ambiance! Seems like the chairs are set up well so there’s not a bad seat in the house. It was first come first seated which worked well for us. I will absolutely be back and tell all my friends to check it out as well!

Bull’s Horn is all of what’s in a dive bar/restaurant. Unassuming and underrated, they have delicious food, great and no nonsense service and a dive bar vibe that Minneapolis needs more of. Do yourself a favor and try these guys out, you’ll be happy you did!

Shout out to Tracey our server, and staff on 8/2. This is one of thee best "dive bars" I've ever been to. On point service, food, atmosphere, and price point. Tracey was great. And I misspoke about one of the sauces I ordered and she had my preferred sauce to me in seconds. All food came out fast and hot. I had thee. best. hand breaded chicken tenders(shown in review photo-zoom in recommended). Sauce choices I saw: Bbq, buffalo, Alabama white(white bbq), ranch, and blue cheese. Alabama white sauce is worth trying. The sauces seem homemade. The mac and cheese is the dirty date you're looking for. I force fed everyone at my table a bite of the mac. No complaints. The chicken wings, cheese curds, and sandwiches at my table were thoroughly enjoyed as well. 👏 ..As Arnold said, "I'llll be bauck."

This place is a novel experience with its willingness to embrace its own uniqueness. From the secret menus to burgers you literally cannot change it has a lot of charm. Although sometimes this lead to things being overly complicated. The food was great and tasty. The cheese curds were absolutely delicious. For a good drink, good burger, or anything in between this place has you covered.

I love the Bullshorn double smash burger! Solid fries and great staff, if it's busy there can be await and gets a little tight in there. Overall good food and quick drinks and almost always funny talking to someone new having a beer. Recommend the burger with a friend!

This used to be my go-to spot for burgers for years — easily one of the best in the Cities, in my opinion. But the last time I went, the burger was awful. They’ve apparently changed the recipe and now use dehydrated onions instead of those amazing caramelized ones. What a disappointment.

Love this place! Probably best burger and chicken sandwich I've ever tasted. The burger was a bit too salty, but still sooo good! The chicken sandwich was dark meat, which was very surprising and flavorful. The servers were very nice. Everything arrived super fast.

Save your money on the fries not worth the $3.50 upcharge pretty good burger but also extra $2 for cheese and $3 for two pieces of thin bacon and wasn't very filling. Overall average food for the high quality price. Pretty limited drink menu as well. Food arrived quick and outdoor patio was nice and dog friendly.

Went dancing, felt good! Great live band last night and the crowd was jovial and respectful ❤️‍🔥 drinks were nearly stadium prices tho, and there was a cover. One or the other people cmon!

Bunker’s is exactly what you’d hope for in a music bar and grill — great live music, a lively atmosphere, and a dance floor that was packed because the band was that good. There’s a bar for ordering drinks, but they also have waitresses who come right to your table to take drink orders. Our waitress was amazing — incredibly attentive, somehow tracking us down in the middle of the crowded tables, dance floor, and all the chaos. She deserves a raise for sure! There’s a cash-only cover at the door, so bring cash and your ID. All in all, a fantastic spot for a night out with great tunes, good vibes, and plenty of energy.

Music started at 9:30 on a Tuesday. I dined a few blocks away at the delightful Cafe Yoto. Greeted by charming Host, paid a Bargain Cover and Danced to Irie International Reggae All Stars like it was 1999! Bartender quickly helped with my Choice of Soda Pop, extra Lime or Lemon- The Lively Crowd filled the Dance Floor- I think I heard a Gentleman's Proposal last week! Here's to another 30 years of Live Music from Keyboards,Horns, Guitar, Drums, Bass, and Vocals Bravo!!!

Fun place to listen to live music! Your eating options are a Burger or a Cheeseburger! Hardworking bartenders! Bunkers is always a good time! Been coming here for decades. No really. 😁

Great place to see live music, only problem was the price changes with our waitress, beer was a different price at the bar 🤷🏾‍♂️, We saw Chase & Ovation an they brought the house down. Amazing show.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We enjoyed live music at Bunkers Music Bar & Grill for some after-hours fun. The atmosphere was lively and great for unwinding with friends. While the service can be a bit slow at times—probably because they only have two servers—it’s understandable and didn’t ruin our night. Overall, a fun spot to catch some good live music and enjoy the vibe. Looking forward to visiting again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Live music every night?! Sign me up! Bunker’s is a Minneapolis gem — I was a regular here for over 15 years before moving out of state, and it’s still one of the first places I come back to whenever I’m in town. The energy is unmatched, the bands are incredible, and the atmosphere always feels like home. Prince himself used to jump up on stage here (and once even stole my table!) to jam with local artists — many of whom trained with him and still carry that legacy forward. Some of my absolute favorites: International Reggae All Stars on Tuesday nights, Dr. Mambo’s Combo every Sunday, and the rotating weekend acts like The Good, The Bad, and The Funky (GBF) and Alex Rossi. Keep an eye out for their special tribute nights — they’re a local favorite, but plan ahead because they sell out fast and it’ll be standing room only. Bunker’s is authentic Minneapolis: legendary music, a lively crowd, and a place where unforgettable nights happen again and again.

The owner is a great guy & don't get me started on the food!!! Was delicious 😋 the beer 🍺 cheese 🧀 soup 🍲 was the best & homemade! And SIR DEATH has the best tailgating party's he is so good with all the kiddos

Nice local pub with decent menu selections and good beer/booze selections. Will be back!!

Sweet spot across from the Marriott. Good selection of gin and bourbon. Wings didn't disappoint either. Liked that the kitchen was open until 10.

No issues with service to be clear - bartender was great, helpful, etc. After through ordering some drinks and apps, started eating… things tasted a little off but maybe just bar food, right? Finished meal, noticed out of the corner of my eye. Mice coming out of the baseboards, running and grabbing food, then disappearing back into the walls. A little gross. Woke up a few hours later. Threw everything back up. Not a great experience.

Our food was cold. 🧊 I’m not sure how that was possible since we were sitting at the bar and the place was fairly busy. Both of these items should have been fresh out of the fryer/grill, but they were lukewarm at best. We’ve never been to this place (one of our favorite old haunts - Town Hall Brewery - is kitty corner from here) and we won’t be back. Totally disappointing.

Doesn't appear to be a friendly group of workers. Walked in no greet someone finally came over once I got my own menu. Shouldn't use that much salt on the fries had to check my blood pressure once I got back to work. Why put all the Condiments at the bottom? Not on the serving paper. Next time give me the entire onion since it was cut so thick. The box looked use that the food was in. First and last time.

Corner bar came highly recommended by my BIL. He loves the wings. We tried the wings and I'll say they were good, well cooked. We like our wings cooked well done. These were the Joey wing, fried then grilled. Curds were mediocre. The burger was good, mostly because it had really good grill flavor. We'll go back!!
