38 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Everything about this place was great! Knew the bartender so that was a benefit. The food was really good and the portions where large, larger them most places you get your money's worth. Only complaint would be it very dim lit! The atmosphere is nice just got the lights down a bit to much it was hard to see any distance when looking around. Just up a couple of notches but great overall!“

“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!“

“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“

“We decided to stay in the twin cities for spring break this year and do a fun 'staycation' at the omni. We ate at ember and ice - there were 8 of us, 4 kids and 4 adults. The food, service and ambiance were all fantastic. The bartender was super friendly and fun. We had a variety of dishes - salmon, beet salad, chicken tenders, burger. Everything was delicious. We ordered room service from the restaurant for dessert and the dessert was amazing. The fireplace, viking decor ( think Norwegian, cozy, game of thronesish) and cozy vibe was perfect. Loved it all and will be back!“

“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!“

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

“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“
