50 Best Bars near Hopkins

“I came to this location to celebrate my daughters 5th birthday and it did not disappoint. The experience was very easy to workout the details and the staff member that helped us was very attentive. My daughter and her friends had a great time bowling and the pizza was delicious. They were able to have their own seating table and table for the gifts and food. I highly recommend coming to this location for a kids birthday party or even just to have some fun bowling“

“5 o’clock on a Monday. Service was good. Prices were good. We had the pulled pork sandwich which was very good. Monday is build your own burger night; while we had something else, people around us seemed to enjoy their burgers. Will go here again.“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“I tried several of the signature cocktails and they were lovely. Tiny, adorable, and tasty. Our wings got lost, but the staff was apologetic. I looked over the menu online before going and was hoping to order the risotto, but it wasn't on the menu in person. It was probably seasonal and the website hadn't been updated yet. I would go again, just for the ambience though.“

“I got the 60/40 burger rare and chicken tenders with a hot dry rub, and it was cooked to my liking. I also got a Moscow Mule, it was okay, but nothing to write home about.Parking: There's a free parking lot but it doesn't have a lot of stalls. I had to park 2 blocks away and walk over. It wasn't a big deal but it would be less than ideal in the winter.“

“Great fusion menu. Unique drinks.Wings, duck, seafood bucatini and desserts were wonderful.Go if you're craving something different in a casual, welcoming atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: People brought their kids. Family style serving, so great if the kids have an adventurous palate. Nothing we had was overly spicy.“

“We had our best restaurant experience at Spoon and Stable. Service was impeccable, cocktails were delightful, food was stellar. We shared the bison tartare, snap pea salad, and torchietti pasta for starters. All were terrific. I had the artic char and it was cooked to perfection. Wife had the pork chop and was thrilled. Son had rib eye and ranked it as the 2nd best steak he's ever eaten, behind only Peter Luger in NY. Mother had the Alaskan halibut and loved it. We capped it off with Chocolate Budino, yum, and honey & cream cake, also yum. A fantastic carajillo dessert cocktail put an exclamation point on what was an all around excellent evening.“

“We love the Sample Room - always have, always will! We had an excellent experience at the bar for Dine Out For Life - Richard took awesome care of us & the food was delicious! Highly recommend the lion's mane mushroom cakes, trout croquettes, & the mussels (personally we'd skip the sausage, takes away from the mussels). Overall, fantastic dining, thank you!“

“Great little find. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the drinks and alcohol they are serving. They even have a selection of spirit free drinks that taste amazing! As a person who does not drink, it is great to find a place that actually makes true cocktails without spirits. Will be back.“

“Thank you for starring Abby Jimenez! The Parkway Theater was the PERFECT place to hold her book launch-large enough to allow many of her fans the opportunity to see her and intimate enough to feel like you are a special VIP guest. The popcorn was delicious and the legroom in the seating area was incredibly spacious. Definitely an amazing venue!“

“awesome food, great service.“

“I think its a great place but they over charged me when I looked over my bank account the next day seeing more than 10k when I'm sure I only spent around 8k had to file fraud alerts, but overall it wasn't bad it just my bank that gave me the confusion through it all. I totally recommend the place.“

“This was my first visit there but not my last!! I found the check in process very professional. The staff very friendly and attentive to the needs of the dogs. The bar and cafe offer delicious food and drinks.I was extremely pleased!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dog-friendliness: The staff is right there if there's any potty issues or rough play!!!!!Picnic area: The outdoor area is awesome.Can't wait to return and have the fire pit burning!!!!!!!“

“Great service! The people who work here are friendly and very accommodating. I love this place, we go all the time.“

“excellent service food tasted great best happy hour out there“

“Awesome venue. Great views of the stage and supports local music. Tanner is an awesome guy.“

“Everyone was friendly from the moment we walked in. Our waitress, Taylor, was attentive, and had great recommendations. The food was delicious, as were the drinks! We will absolutely be back.“

“best place in the twin cities. I remember when there was only beer and wine behind the bar and they sold single cigarettes. Dinner was a baguette and a roasted bulb of garlic and a bottle of wine. theater in the back with story tellers and fringe artists that kept this transplanted nyer here in the twin cities for 30 years.“

“Wow! This place is amazing! We enjoyed the hospitality and attention to detail was always on point! Dave was amazing with his knowledge on our wine pairing, and keeping us entertained and informed! I highly recommend this amazing restaurant.“

“Fantastic Food, great music and the wildest bunch of neighborhood regulars.“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“Just Awesome great food good drinks and cool bartenders many cool pinball machines“

“Just ate here on a whim. Wife picked it from a huge list on google. They did not disappoint. Order the fried chicken. You won’t be sorry. I also had burnt ends. Prolly the best I’ve ever had. Sticky toffee pudding and banana Creme pie for dessert. This place was off the chain. Great food great atmosphere great service. Will be back soon. I’m kinda of mad at myself for not ordering another sticky toffee pudding to take with me. 200 stars. Thanks for a great meal“

“Delicious drinks and food! Great service!“

“Great experience, such friendly, quick service, food was delicious, steak & mimosas for breakfast were outstanding!“

“Such a cute place with a funky menu and fun atmosphere. Service getting in with the wait was fine, the worker was super friendly. The waiter we had never came to check on us after we got our drinks, so we waited over an hour and after he came back we couldn’t order food as it was after kitchen hours. We tried getting him to come to our table by waving and making eye contact but it didn’t work. Other than that, the drinks were good!“

“My expectations were probably too high walking in. The food was good, not as outstanding or as interesting as I would have thought. The grilled sea salt oyster on the way in was tasty. They brought us well prepared chicken, some sushi small bite, and other things I can't remember a month later that were enjoyable. The cake was dry and not worth the calories (or cost). The dietary restriction I indicated was missed but they were able to adjust in the moment. The atmosphere was lovely upstairs. We ate in the covered outdoor area at a shared table.“

“I had their food when it was catered for a work event. Absolutely phenomenal!!! I went back today to order on my own. I got the ribeye sandwich. mac n cheese and loaded chips.Sandwich -- AMAZING!!! Small, but also a decent piece of steak, so you kind of have to expect that. I'd definitely order it again!!!Loaded chips -- not so good. See pic.Mac n cheese -- just ok. I'm really, really picky about Mac n cheese. My fav is whalburgers. Most people will love this!Can't wait to go back and try other things. Have to say.. the owner is just a delightful person and the product is VERY good. Try the green goddess dressing. You won't regret it!!!“

“We arrived ten minutes early prior to our reservation time but were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and provided good recommendations for food and drinks. The atmosphere was a bit noisier than usual but that's because they had a big game on TV, so we weren't bothered. The food tasted great, of course!“

“Katie made the experience 5/4/2024. Impeccable service. So attentive, great timing, attention to detail! The food and drink were good, nothing bad or great to say. Positive experience overall. I'd come back for the service alone.Dietary restrictions: The bar concocted a spirit-free coffee drink for me at my request and accommodated other dietary restrictions for my friends(e.g. vegetarian) seamlessly!“

“The customer service is second to none, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left it was amazing!The atmosphere here is so beautiful, the bathroom decor is dreamy and there are two private dining areas. One where I caught a glimpse of, that now makes me want to come back and celebrate there.We went in around 3pm on a Saturday, ordered the baked brie, lobster risotto and the prickly pear mojito.. there are unique additions to their menu items and everything was delicious, but I enjoyed my risotto most of all.I would recommend dining here!“

“Best NE neighborhood bar and terrific owner Merry Xmas all“

“Warm intimate space with incredible and unique cocktails. I was excited to actually enjoy whiskey, and they did not disappoint. I've never had anything like these cocktails before. We tried the Sotoku, Nagano, and the Kado Old Fashioned. All of them were perfectly crafted and a pleasure to taste. I look forward to returning to try more of their amazing offerings!“

“First time. Service excellent. We tried several appetizers from the Happy Hour menu. Loved them all. $30 for the 2 of us. Very reasonable“

“Great food! Nachos as well as the Waffle and Chicken were yummy! The “Day and Night” cocktail was excellent!“

“Everything served to our table was delicious! Our server was Chris and he was SO NICE!! We were a little hurried, as we had a show to go to. Chris managed to keep things moving and keep us on time, but we never felt rushed. We had a very enjoyable meal.“

“Food was very good, staff was very helpful, and drinks were excellent!“

“One of the best pizza spots in Minneapolis! I've never had a pizza I didn't enjoy but the meatball and mushroom versions are my go to. In the spring and summer when the garage doors are up I can't think of a nicer place to have a meal.“

“Visited 4/27. This place is an adorable new community-based spot. My sister currently lives in Linden Hills neighborhood and we agreed that this place for us may become a frequent summer spot for sipping and snacking post walks around the lake. They have a full bar in addition to the drinks on the menu and boast many different drink options (beer on tap, wine, cocktails). I got a gin and tonic with my sister getting a vodka dirty martini and our friend getting an old fashioned. These drinks were nice and strong so they were perfectly paired with some food. I got the beef sandwich, with my sister getting the hazel basil without prosciutto (vegetarian) and our friend getting the regular hazel basil. All of us were impressed with these and would definitely order again. Mine was the perfect balance of coleslaw on top with soft bread and nice warm beef in the middle. I planned on eating half but found myself devouring the whole thing. Service was solid with kind servers who checked in on us just the right amount. I hope the best for this newcomer!“

“What a fun atmosphere it was and the drinks are amazing!“

“Local watering hole / music venue. Maybe the tightest place to see live local music in Mpls without a cover (tip the band!). Last night, I watched a four man combo with a vibraphone. They knew how to smooth out all the kinks. The crowd appreciated the weeknight wonder. Bar pizza, order better from next door.Parking: Crowded and popular. Maybe park up the block and walk, or take the Metro transit routes 11 or 17.“

“Food was good but it was super slow service, there were maybe 5 tables in the whole restaurant at the time we got there. The waiter just did not seem to care about the tables either, just very lackadaisical. There were only 2 tables in his section when we got there, he checked on us once after our order.“

“Lots of fun. Great place to hang out.“

“This was a nice surprise. We were looking for a spot to grab dinner before a concert and ended up eating and staying for drinks for a couple of hours. The drinks Dave made us were fantastic. The food was very good. Overall a great spot to stop at for food in the area. Between the great conversation with Willie one of the managers, and Dave behind the bar, it was a great experience and I know this will be where I go next time I'm up in Minneapolis.“

“Very accommodating for our birthday party. Allowed me to come in early and claim a space and set up decorations. Let me keep our cupcakes in their freezer until later in the day. Matt the manager was extra helpful the day of! Great specials and the game selection is elite. 10/10 would recommend for a fun afternoon alone or with a group.“

“Really like the atmosphere and overall vibe from the interior decor. Went to watch a Timberwolves game. There are TVs visible from the bar as well as the surrounding tables. Drinks are decent and the bartenders are a lot of fun to chat with.Its just a good time being here. Both chill and upscale. Might try their food menu next time.“

“Delicious food with generous portions and decent prices. Best thing about this place is it stays open till 2 am. I tried the cordon bleu smashed chicken burger with ham, pickles (kosher), cheese, and brioche bun. It was absolutely delicious! The smoked ham in particular elevated the burger to the next level. On the side I got a salad with blue cheese. They certainly don't skimp on ingredients in this place. Friendly staff and quick service mean I will absolutely be coming back.“

“Great atmosphere, lovely service, yummy pub food and pull tabs...what's not to love? We had the pleasure of experiencing this neighborhood gem during our visit to Minnesota. We ordered chicken wings and shared a ruben sandwich. Yum to the yum! Our waitress, Taylor, was absolutely lovely. She was constantly moving, tending to everyone. Plus we had the pleasure of getting to chat with the other patrons. Everyone was super cool.“

“This is a fine place to bowl, no frills.I came Saturday night and total for 2 people, 4 game of bowling (or about 2 hours) and 3 beers was $80. Not sure if I'm out of touch with what costs should be, but that seems expensive to me.Bar service was good. Front customer service is not the most friendly. Not overly so,, still an enjoyable evening.“
