40 Best Bars near Apple Valley

“Had Rascals cater our family Christmas get together.
The food was outstanding.
It was on time, and ready to eat when it arrived.
Getting it set up and coordinated was a breeze.
We will use them again, and recommend Rascals for any catering needs.“

“Very good food, the chef is always trying something new which is refreshing instead of having the same items. They prevent their menu from getting stale like some many others. Stacey is amazing, not only a great bartender but she does so much more for Celts. The rest of the staff are really good too. Highly recommend“

“I love coming to Cowboy Jacks in Apple Valley! The staff is amazing and I love the food and happy hour specials. I also want to give a shout out to one of the managers, Calvin who intervened when he saw a man at the bar harassing me. I didn’t even have to ask him, but he could tell I was uncomfortable and asked the man to leave. It is so refreshing to go to a bar where the staff truly cares about the well-being of their customers! Great work to this whole team! I will most definitely be back!! ?“

“The smoked ribeye with a glass of Liberty School Cabernet = pure happiness. Wonderful service. Locally owned & operated. You can’t go wrong @TheBetterHalf.“

“Fast friendly service. Food was hot and delicious!“

“Really enjoy coming here. Been coming last few Saturdays with my wife, bartender Lisa is a great bar tender, I don’t know the other guys name possibly jimmy, bald dude, super cool. It was funny watching a party bus show up right before last call. Great employees here, cool atmosphere, we will continue to come back.“

“Very pleasant great burgers“

“Everything is delicious 😋, I am going back“

“I don’t usually spend much time or money at airport bars, and this one isn’t much to look at. HOWEVER, if your layover has you at MSP International, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR! Sit down at this funky, bisected little family-operated bar/restaurant. The prices are low, the drinks are strong, and the staff… I’ll get back to them.

The food is affordable and elevated. This little place is punching way above its weight. As for the staff, I’ve never felt more cared for. Airport bartenders are not necessarily known for their interpersonal amiability; however, Lindsay, my server and bartender, was truly attentive to all my silly quips. She even suggested pairing my meal with tomato soup.

The tomato soup was fantastic, as was the cheese sandwich. But the real gem was the burrata salad. It featured very fresh arugula, freshly sliced cherry tomatoes, fire-roasted sweet peppers with balsamic glaze, and a fist-sized portion of the freshest mozzarella I’ve ever had in my life.

I don’t typically pull out my phone to review airport bars, but this place is really something else!“

“Victoria was our server for dinner tonight, and amazing would be an understatement!! She took such great care of us. We will definitely be back soon!“

“It’s gunna be a yes for me dog!!“

“Place was fun and service was great. My kids sweet 16th party was a success. they had a blast!“

“PROS: Amazing food quality paired with the most welcoming service. The atmosphere falls a bit short of the food quality and service. I couldn't resist ordering Minnesota's flagship food: the walleye. It was extremely fresh and cooked to perfection! Perfect choice, highly recommended.

CONS: Pricey place. I paid $67 for my walleye, including a beer, tax and tip. Not for amateurs.“

“If you love old world supper clubs. The "Lex" is for you. Sadly I can not give it 4 stars until they up their game and get an espresso machine. Imagine a beautiful brass Espresso machine sitting behind the bar! Anyone who remembers the old Williams Cafe in Uptown knows what I am talking about. I can't think of another restaurant in their price range that does NOT offer Espresso in the Mpls-St. Paul area.“

“On a Sunday, not very busy and just before the brunch ended. We got a breakfast burrito and a double double burger. My burrito was phenomenal, and every bite I could taste how fresh the ingredients were!. It has eggs, sausage, onions, black beans, corn and queso. With pico, and sour cream on the side.
The burger was so juicy and we were hesitant to order because some burgers are served way over sized, but this was the perfect size, with 2 -3oz patties and cheese in the middle! Yes the cheese in the middle of the patties knocks this one out of the park! After the first bite, that burger was gone ! Sorry we didn't get better pics, the food was just too good.

We only stopped here because other places we looked at were over crowded and this one luckily wasn't !
We drive by this almost every weekend but are now going to stop more often !

Come out and say Hi to one of the best crews in the cities at Yankee Tavern!!“

“great fundraisers.. great friends“

“I cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant. The food quality is awesome and the service is exceptional. Their carne asada is something I highly recommend. I would fly all the way from New Jersey for just that! They have a number of gluten-free options which is always great. I ate dinner here on two days and on both occasions my server was Ashlea. Her service (with a smile) is incredible. She is very knowledgeable about ingredients in the menu and can advise on the right choice of items and drinks. She is extremely efficient--always on her toes--and is a true asset to the business. Ashlea made my dining experience a pleasure. Thank you!“

“There is this amazing bartender named Ashely that works there. She has an amazing talent to mix drinks. You just have to tell her what you really like. She will mix the most amazing drink you have ever had. I was in heaven drinking the drinks she mixed for me l.“

“I wanted to come here after a long time since my last visit. Mostly because I was eager to have their sea scallops Benedict again, which has always seemed like such a unique yet fitting dish. We came here on a Friday night over the holidays, without a reservation, hoping to get a spot at the bar.

Even though they were super busy, it was very easy getting a table because the host let us know about first come first serve tables in the bar. But that wasn’t the only great service, since our server, Keith, was super informative, helpful, and personable. Brian also got every dish out of the way as soon as we were done.

Just about everything we ordered was delicious and well worth the visit. The food also came out fast. The only thing we didn’t finish or take home was the calamari. With everything being so well executed, I was hoping the calamari would follow suit, but I would skip it in the future.

I still think they should be in the conversation for best steakhouse in the twin cities.

Parking: Free lot just across from the restaurant.“

“The Charcuterie boards ordered on-line were delicious and wonderful! They contacted me as I had asked for all boards and no plastic trays. I appreciated the effort to accommodate my request. Thank you“

“We come here often, the food is great as well as the service. Service can be a little slow when it gets busy but that’s to be expected anywhere. All the food we’ve had has been very good and the margaritas are tasty and on the strong side!“

“The staff was excellent! Handled our table of 12. Great food and atmosphere ?. If you love Sashimi... then I recommend the smoked salmon sashimi. All the sashimi were very nice, thick slices. It's definitely worth the money! I will be returning!

Parking: I went on a Sunday. Even at opening was very difficult to find parking.“

“Can't go wrong with their Celtic dip, it's an amazing prime rib sandwich with au-ju. Waffle fries are always perfect. Consistently great service wether dining in or to-go.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible.“
