“Runyuns for lunch for the first time. Wings and Olive Burger did not disappoint. 5 stars for sure. Great service too. Love the vibe. We'll be back♡“

“It's one of my go-to spots whenever I'm in Minneapolis. The atmosphere and service are standard brewpub. Good, but nothing out of the ordinary.Food is solid, mostly standard bar food, but it's well done with the cheese curds being noteworthy.The beer is definitely the highlight, there is a wide variety of well executed styles with the big barrel aged beers being some of the best in the state.I've been several times, and I'm sure I will be back next time I'm in Minneapolis.“

“Love the ambiance and vibe of this establishment and so did everyone else as it was a full house! All of their food was restaurant recipes and not frozen food type if you know what I mean and I wanted to try everything on the menu! We narrowed it down to their wings, I was skeptical of chicken thigh style wings but pleasantly surprised they were amazing, lightly battered and meaty!!! The burgers were double patty, fresh bakery buns and delicious; side choices house made chips or fries. Guests next to me had fresh battered fish and the cheese curds, they gave two thumbs up too and said they do date night here every week❤️ Service was friendly and professional and a little slower to take our food order but again they were slammed not their fault. Food came out promptly. Now onto the drinks, they had a house beverage list with plenty of options but I will say for $12-$13 a drink that came with a huge ice cube I had it devoured in a few sips; I’d like more bang for my buck here and due to that I refrained from ordering another drink and resorted to a beer. I can’t wait to come back and try everything on the food menu! Desserts I was too full for but nice house made options.“

“Chips Clubhouse has great food Their crew are very friendly and polite And the bartender is one of the best The whole experience and great food will have you looking forward to your next visit“

“The best place for sitting down. I've sat in so many places where I had a decent time sitting down but Tappers is different. Sitting at Tappers is just better. Sometimes I eat a pizza while sitting at Tappers and it's always amazing. Sometimes I drinks some drinks at Tappers and they make sitting at Tappers even better. I highly recommend sitting at Tappers.“

“Super fun bar and bowling alley! We came here with a couple of friends on a Thursday night to hit the lanes and grab some dinner. Food was decent, pretty standard bar fare. Service was a little slow, but it was packed so that might not be the norm. It was great that you can put your name on the list for Bowling while having dinner. It speeds up the process.Bowling prices are great! I like that it’s per person per game and not timed like a lot of Alleys are doing these days.“

“Have had all of the following and they have all been great: wild rice soup, Thai pizza, nachos, patty melt, assorted drinks. Service has been friendly and prompt. All of my visits have been for lunch / early afternoon. They give you a wonderful cup of homemade chips when you are seated which are highly addictive!“

“Fish n Chips were pretty tasty ... the fish was crispy and delicious ... the chips were ok ... loved the tartar sauce and cole slaw ... the atmosphere was pretty wild with the Kentucky Derby going on ... the service was ok, but it was very busy!“

“You will not find a better bowling alley at a more affordable cost. $8 all you can bowl for 1 & 1/2 hour, shoes included on Weekdays & $11 for weekends. Multiple dart boards, three pool tables, and TouchTunes with short wait times. Amazing spot for family or friends fun!“

“Brought our Shillelagh’s and got our shenanigans out Irish Dancing for our social mixer. Great time always!“

“Freehouse located right in North Loop has a great patio! My two favorite menu items, dynamic duo drink and Brussels sprouts appetizer. Absolutely fantastic every time! We also tried out the cheese curds, wings and roto bird baguette, all were also very good. The two sauces with the cheese curds really level it up. Recommend Freehouse if you're looking for a good patio, lively atmosphere and consistent food/drinks.“

“The pizza is fantastic. They used to house Red's Savoy Pizza, and they kept the pizza kitchen equipment when Red's moved out. They have very good pizza options on the menu, and the ingredients/ construction of the pizza is well done. The bar is what you would expect at a VFW, and has a decent selection of beer on tap. Very friendly staff and atmosphere.“

“Great burgers and onion rings.“

“Great patio, friendly staff, good food!“

“My husband and I were attending a show at the Orpheum Theater and this was next door. It was busy when we arrived at 6pm. It was seat yourself. I think they were understaffed as it took a while to have a server stop by to get our drink order. We ordered smoked wings, scotched eggs, and a French dip sandwich. The food was delicious. Our server tried to be attentive with a full house. The environment was a typical bar - loud and nosy; casual dining. Overall, we would come back here for food before a show at the Orpheum. Great food, good prices, and it's next door to the theater.“

“We were in town for a hockey game and this was a couple blocks from our hotel. We were seated right away and placed our drink orders as well as an order of cheese curds and a pizza. The cheese curds came out and they were amazing. We were busy talking and not paying attention to the time. Our waitress came out and apologized for the wait on the pizza and offered to comp the cheese curds and a beer. We weren't looking for anything for free. Once the pizza came out all we could say was fabulous. We had the Primo and it had so much flavor. They were playing great classical music that wasn't so loud we couldn't hold a conversation. If you're looking for a quick bite this is the place.“

“The Acadia on West Bank is finally OPEN AGAIN!The menu consist of only burgers and a chicken sandwich for entrees but some tasty apps. They are not open for lunch at this time which is a bummer as the menu is perfect for a quick lunch. The lighting always seems a bit too bright and the music can be excruciating in regards to the volume.It's under new ownership or management but my hopes are they prosper and maintain a much needed "local" space with.“

“Food is the best bar food I’ve ever had. They pay attention to everything.“

“Today, they had a Bloody Mary with special toppings. My fav! It’s not a regular thing but they have different things going on so it’s nice to stop by and check it out. They have the wheel and pull tabs. Ohhh…darts too. It’s a cash only bar so make sure you bring cash. Love the bartender, Rachel.“

“We had a great experience at Lucky's Pub 13 in Burnsville, our waiter, Lucas, and the host were so accomidating! We are not from the area and wanted to watch the Iowa Women's Basketball game, they turned it on for us and we stayed for the duration of the game and felt as if we were VIP with the treatment we receieved from staff. Food and drinks were just an added bonus but it was the staff that made everything so much fun!“

“Dave is the best bartender who can do it all, if you get the chance to come here ask for Dave, Kirk, or Smalls. They make good drinks for a low price. On top of it their food is top tier. Would recommend Dave and the bar staff 1000/10 amazing experience. We’ll be back. Believe That.“

“05/04/24 8:30pm…Everything was perfect but the services, specially the waiter. tall guy, wearing a hat and shorts, serving the booth area. I’ve been coming here for a long time “6 years”and this is the first time and I had such as a mediocre and rude services. He most be totally new that he didn’t been try his best to give a good services. Or maybe he was taking it personal after I asked if they could go easy on the seasoning on my wings, which he denied my request. He told me he can give me the seasoning on the side so I can do “whatever I want with it”…after that, he totally forget about us. I had to yelled so I can get my tab and leave. He can do better than that.Food and beer the best thou.“

“Went before going to childrens theater. What a great place for a 4 year old every pub should have a big chalk board to doodle and kids menu actually kraft mac and cheese which is a kids hit all the time. Our food was great and service perfect. Thanks for making our nite special“

“The service at the Iron Ranger is top notch. The food is always great but we come back for the people behind the food!! Could not recommend more. My 4 teen and twenty something boys always request their birthday meal here!! Coming there since 2015.“

“Our favorite pub in Como Park to enjoy a delicious cheeseburger with fries, cheese curds and the coldest beer in Saint Paul. Beautiful view of the golf course and Como Lake. Patio seating or indoor tables. You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy this!“

“Stopped at Pat's Tap for the "Pat's Bacon Burger" and, i lie to you not, it's the best burger I've ever eaten. You know that episode of "How I Met Your Mother" where Marshall drags the crew around to find the best burger in New York? That's this burger. Nothing crazy; lettuce, tomato, aioli, avacado and bacon cooked INTO the patty all on a lightly toasted bun. Anyways, 10/10. Hats off to my chef.“

“Great time. Let’s finish with a win!!“

“Great people, many great times at the cafe.“

“We went for the Lynx tailgate party and it was a lot of fun but more so the food and service were some of the best we’ve ever had (and we go out a lot in a bunch of major cities).“
