I had a very limited time frame when I stopped in. I didn't catch his name, but the male waiter answered all my questions even though he was quite busy. I will return when I have more time. Place seems legit.

Definitely recommend. Bartender very sociable and helpful! Will definitely come back. Food was very good. Recommend the jalapeño poppers and the chicken strip basket. Love all the old time pictures and memorabilia on the walls.

Great burgers, very dim and divey atmosphere. Hoping to catch some live music there soon, good sized stage and solid looking sound system.

The blues music dive bar of Minneapolis! Good bar food, great service, friendly patrons. Have had some pretty grumpy bartenders in the past (YEARS ago) but no bad experience now. The renovations are great - feels more open and brighter inside.I'm a huge fan of bar "pork tenderloin" sandwiches and couldn't resist ordering one during my last visit. It was really just a deep fried pork chop on a bun. Very delicious but not an actual pork tenderloin.Note: it is very loud when the band plays, do not go for a date night and expect to carry a conversation.NA option: Heineken 0.0

Burgers were good. They have great buns! Band was too loud when they started. Small space.

I finally got around to eating at Shaw’s. It was lunch on a Saturday and hardly anyone was there. The kitchen was open though.I had heard about the Sun burger as really good reproduction of the old Sun drive in burger. The Sun drive in was shut down well before I moved to Minneapolis, but I figured I’d give it a try. It was delicious. Messy and delicious.The onion rings were perfect. I may come back in just to eat the onion rings.Next up on the list is the Shaw’s burger. The menu says it’s a “3 napkin” burger, and I imagine it’s true. I’ll be trying it soon.They have live music here on most weekends and other dates. The lineup is on the wall in the back if you’d like to plan ahead to see a band in particular.Small, cozy, NE bar with a great menu. I’ll certainly be back. Thanks for the great meal!Parking: There is a small lot behind the bar. Free On street parking most everywhere around the bar.

Great hole in the wall! Food was amazing! One of those incredible burgers that once you pick it up & bite in, you can't put down till it's gone. Make sure there's plenty of napkins. Staff is super nice & helpful!
