Our hotel desk clerk recommended this place and it was close by so why not try it. We were not disappointed. We were seated right away. Our waitress made many recommendations including the monthly specials. The Rueben sandwich was almost as good as I get in NYC. He had the monthly juicy Lucy special stuffed with corn beef and sauerkraut with cheese and 1000 island. It was amazing. We tried their large tater tots and oh my.... There were numerous tvs around with lots of different sports channels which was perfect for us. Would definitely go again if we ever return to Minneapolis.

Favorite little neighborhood pub within walking distance to me. They have a ton of TVs and almost always have space at the bar. Their bartenders are EXCELLENT, very fast and able to handle an extremely busy bar. The prices are a little high in my opinion, but if you sign up for their rewards you'll get free stuff from time to time.

Food good service was normal. But we paid card and the bartender selected highest tip percentage and handed us the device. I was tipping in cash. That should be a customers decision. Just be aware.

Front of house had a huge miss tonight with no communication for over 15 minutes while over 30 people were in crowded, small entryway & waiting outside since no room. Google assistant said "no wait". No hostess came out to greet the many guests or say what the holdup was. When we finally got to front of line, we were told we were in wrong line. Apparently there was a line for an event. There wasn't ever mention about any "lines". With no communication at all, we almost left several times and probably should have. No one knew what was going on. We brought a new person to introduce them to the restaurant and the experience left a bad taste before even getting in the front door. I let 4 staff know but no action was taken. Super disappointed!! Terrible customer service at point of entry.

Great place right around corner from work. I had been following a strict diet and as soon as I told my waiter Chris I needed different meal options he was aware and knew what I would prefer on my salad and sandwich before I could tell him. I was not able to eat fried food but I was able to order the Walleye (Crowd favorite) grilled and it was delicious. Not too busy during the week, but probably a nice spot on game day or a downtown event. Will definitely be back!

Not Exactly

Staff was very kind. Like the dark atmosphere. The chipotle chicken salad had portioned microwaved chicken for $16 . No Chipotle flavor. More like a mayonnaise salad. Very poor quality for that price. Watery mayo.

Fell in love with minneapolis due to this specific place. From the service to the perfect but simple juicy Lucy to the delicious beers served ice cold on draft I would fly half way across the states again just for this place.

The staff was great! Food was good but could’ve used some seasoning. Overwhelming amount of TVs but I guess that’s most bars these days.

Grubhub but the Reubens was greasy and not very flavorful. Not a fan. Fries were great. Will try a burger next time.

I would never go back to this hell hole, even if the prices wasn't through the roof, but the hostess was very rude he had very long hair and cussed like a sailor.

I have been here twice. I do enjoy this casual space for something quick, inexpensive, and laid-back ? environment.I love the two levels as the bar is on the top level.and there is a large screen for sports on the lower level.

First, let me say that the takeout service I got was good and it was speedy. The host was friendly. And the food was prepared as good as it could be considering what it was.The problem with this place is it’s just old fashioned. The food and place just taste and feel like a chain out of the 90s/2000s. A la Applebees. If that’s your thing then you’re in luck. But there are better more modern burgers, with higher quality patties, in the neighborhood for a similar price point, imo. I would describe the food as “fine”.I liked the fries.
