46 Best Bars near Apple Valley

“Great experience overall. Food is appropriately priced, and everyone is nice.

During one of my visits, they accidentally dropped my order from my party's queue, but they immediately recognized the mistake, apologized sincerely, and even gave me my meal for free without me asking.“

“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!! ?“

“Just finished dinner at the Better Half to try out the new after dark menu - 100/10 recommend! We had the ahi tuna stack, miso sea bass, and the lobster pasta (can’t remember the name) and everything was INCREDIBLE. We wanted to order pretty much everything, it was so hard to decide! I would officially consider this one of the best menus south of the River - can’t wait to come back and do another round of taste testing until we make our way through the whole menu! Shout out to Michael our server - he always goes above and beyond (I somehow always end up in his section 😂 and he is fantastic!)“

“We come here often, great food. The staff is wonderful. Taco pizza, pickle pizza, wings, salads… Everything is good. Fun atmosphere!
We are always surprised how dirty the front doors are. You need to clean the glass multiple times a day, so it looks nice when people walk in. I’m not kidding. This was a topic of conversation at our table the other day because both doors are always filthy. The hosts at the front stand around a lot, they can windex the glass throughout the day. First impression is everything.“

“Very pleasant great burgers“

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

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

“Awesome service and the food was excellent. We had our 50th Wedding Anniversary there a couple of weeks ago.Had a great time. Also, went to main bar for karoke, lots of fun. Great place for a party. Janet handled our party. Very impressed with her and her dedication to getting the job done. Jess was our bartender, great job and Matt did the food.Great people and service.“

“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!“

“Amazing food always. Owners are very lovely folks“

“Everything is delicious 😋, I am going back“

“We celebrated with dinner at the Lexington and it was a perfect spot to try! Our waitress, Grace, was phenomenal and so attentive to us. She helped us celebrate with a surprise photo and ice cream sweet:) She went above to help our experience be wonderful! We loved the valet option and enjoyed our first time at the Lexington! 🥰“

“You know, this place really punches above it's weight. The food and atmosphere really isn't incredible in any sense but the restaurant is clean, the food arrives quickly and accurately, and the sure maybe the menu variety is pretty limited but everything arrived hot and was tasty. Also our waiter was the best dude. Ended up being a very fun/positive experience.“

“food was amazing and the staff is super friendly“

“I love coming to this location when I fly out of the Minneapolis airport. The tomato soup is great. It actually is one of the best I have ever had. I also really enjoy having a mimosa before I board the plane. They make wonderful mimosas and also they make great omelettes if you’re flying out in the morning. Caleb Was very friendly and kind. He has a great upbeat personality.“

“Very welcoming atmosphere, lovely staff. my lettuce wraps were probably the best I've had and my daughter's ice cream Sunday was huge! We went for bingo and enjoyed our time there, definitely will return! Nice bathrooms, very handicapped accessible.“

“Come give Granite City a try! Great atmosphere, service, and food! 🍻“

“Great food always however St Patrick’s Day corn beef and cabbage was the best we’ve ever have. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. Cocktails and wine are awesome. Service is outstanding it always is. Well done. Beautiful!“

“great fundraisers.. great friends“

“Very good. Very friendly service.“

“Fantastic good, great service and atmosphere!“

“The Old Minneapolis cocktail is a nice, sweet version of an old fashioned.
Cheese curds are lightly battered and lightly fried. Perfectly melted cheese inside. Very nicely done.
Walleye had good flavor with a nice butter sauce.
Waitress Ashley took great care of me.“

“Please visit “Eat Beat Chronicles” Facebook page for our latest adventure. 🙂“

“Really nice place for friends and family.“

“FUN place w/good food & drinks 😜🎉🍔🍟🍕🍻“

“The environment was very calming, dim with an intimate ambiance. We ordered two items one being the porterhouse steak which was exceptional! Cooked and seasoned to perfection it was definitely one of the best steaks I've had in years. The street corn and broccolini were bursting with flavor and the single portions were more than enough to share. The salmon however was not as flavorful, more bland and the topping was a bit much for an advent salmon eater. Overall the experience at Pittsburgh was top-tier and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to family and friends.“

“Always good service & good food!“

“I’ve already written about how good it is.“

“Great Happy Hour! Food is always good.“

“If you were looking for a fun cocktail, an excellent martini or old-fashioned with a light appetizer this is your place. The area is absolutely beautiful and the Omni is nice. But the place was horribly understaffed. We sat at the couch area with little expectations and went to the bar for our drinks. Ordered some food and it was very hard getting even napkins or plates, dirty dishes, just sat there. For the price you pay ($15 a drink , $20 for wings) you need to have more staff on a Sunday game day .“

“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“

“Ate here for the first time a couple of weeks ago and the food was amazing. We had multiple apps, burgers, and a flatbread and it was all delicious. Bar food but high quality. Cocktails were also delicious and a great tap selection. We'll definitely go back.“

“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!“

“Visited 01MAY2023 for lunch. There was only one waitress working who also served as hostess so it took a while for my party of three to get seated. When we did get seated the hostess/waitress told us that we could sit anywhere.
I ordered the cowboy club sandwich and tater tots which didn't take too long to arrive. The club sandwich was good but the tater tots were a bit cold.
Visited again 17NOV2025 for dinner. The service was excellent. Plenty of staffing with friendly staff.
Unfortunately, my meal was disappointing. I ordered the small cowboy cookout platter. My 3 meat selections were pork ribs, beef brisket, and chicken wings. The ribs and brisket came with sauce on them. I'm not a fan of the sauce and should've ordered it on the side. All 3 meats were dry. The positive is there was plenty of meat for $22, unfortunately none of it tasted good. The dinner came with baked beans and coleslaw which were actually good. You get a 3rd side with this platter so you better have an appetite if you're eating alone.“

“Great happy hour prices!!!“

“Always friendly and helpful. I came from Wisconsin and would like to see the bakery dept add crullers Delicious. As HyVee moves into WI you will find customers expect to be able to purchase. Also put a lot more apples into your Apple fritters. I stopped buying but I saw two slices sticking out and thought a would try again. Nope. All dough“

“I like coming in here every once in a while to do Vingo and sometimes Trivia with my buddy. It’s a fun little bar with good food. I get a little picky about my food and drinks and the staff is good enough to help me with what I want. Thanks for putting up with me. Haha“

“I would like to the Babes staff for another great experience in food and entertainment. I had great time with friends as always. I will be back soon to enjoy a great burger and a beer with the friendly staff of Babes. Thanks“

“Food came out hot and fast“

“I arrived near midnight. I was checked in quickly Great room. Coffee maker in the room. Enough closets and hangers Comfortable bed. Decent bathroom. Good shower. Enough towels I left early am and didn’t have any breakfast I would stay there again“

“Amazing food. Great staff at the Blaine location. Thanks Monique and Thomas.“

“Incredible place to eat sushi and sashimi especially their dinner menu is worth the one hour drive 🥲🫶🏻…I love how friendly the staff is and how clean they keep the place. a bit pricey yes but you are paying for the quality and that is well WORTH EVERY PENNY.“

“The food and drink was delicious and the Key Lime pie is the best!!! Christina was our server and was by far the best waitress we have had in a long time. She sweetly honored our special requests and checked on us the right amount of times.“

“we always stop here when we travel to the cities. Amazing food!!!“
