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!“

“Date night. Food was good. Wine was good. The waiter could be more attentive. He did not even ask us once how the food was and if we needed anything. Had to get extra sauce from the girl who brought out our food.“

“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.“

“Amazing staff. Great food. So much fun!!!“

“Fantastic good, great service and atmosphere!“

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

“Great place to eat! My husband and I are from out of town and this place was close to our hotel. We have our usual spots when we come to town and wanted something new. So glad we chose Yankee Tavern! It was delicious and our server, Maggie was top notch! She was the best! She recommended some great dishes and brought us some delicious tacos to try. The French dip…..yummy!!! Highly recommend. Ask for Maggie for your server! Great job! ??“

“Stopped in last night to check out the new ownership, menu, and remodel! The remodel looks fabulous! I ordered the cowboy burger and fries, which was excellent by the way! It came out within 10 minutes of ordering, so the service was fast during the dinner hour. Such an interesting menu for the Red Fox. Love the variety of items you would not expect from its original American Flare. Keep it up! I will definitely be back soon! 🙂“

“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!“

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

“Always good service & good food!“

“Very good. Very friendly service.“

“great fundraisers.. great friends“

“We had a group of six and a child eat at LARS for dinner and breakfast, and both times we had Brook as our server. Brook went above and beyond for our group. Always checking to make sure that we had everything that we needed, and we were always well taken care of. For dinner, we had a birthday that we were celebrating, and Brook surprised her with cake and ice cream. For breakfast, he knew we were about to drive home, and he made sure the kids had to go snacks and juices for the ride. Food was great, but service was exceptional. Will definitely back!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Really nice place for friends and family.“

“Great Happy Hour! Food is always good.“

“Very nice crew!! I really recommend“

“We just by chance Googled this place and thought we'd give it a try. Wow! Totally surprised at how good the food was and the portions. Chloe was our server and what a sweet girl she is. Smiling and very polite. Give this place a try it's worth it.“

“Went there for brunch and got a seat right away since they were not busy. There's not a lot on the menu, but that makes it easier to choose something to eat. Food arrived fairly quickly, but I think that partly relates to there not being many people to serve at the time. I had the thick cut French toast, and it was one of the best French toasts I have had in a while. Big pieces of bread, with strawberries and walnuts, made for a good time. The price was a little more than expected of French toast, but for how much they give you and the taste, I think it is worth it as a treat once in a while. Would defiantly eat here again.“

“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.“

“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“

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