50 Best Bar & Grill near Arden Hills

“When In Minneapolis a must try!!“

“Great food and service when I have been a Wednesday regular for dinner & music. Shannon provides great service with generous pour. And ya cannot beat the live music jam“

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!“

“Love this spot. Great owners. Great feel. Good food. One of my favs.“

“they have great burger's. the staff is great. it's reasonably priced“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“Great service, friendly staff, fun environment ! Definitely recommend as a place to go to get a bite have a couple drinks and have fun playing pool and darts with friends and family :-)“

“For an original North Loop neighborhood feel, Cuzzy’s is a MUST visit. For everyone in town this weekend, it’s part of the true Minneapolis experience. Great staff and awesome food!“

“A True neighborhood staple.

You ever step into a place that somehow feels like home, even though you’ve never set foot in the state before? That’s exactly how I felt walking into Gopher Bar.

The original wood interior and walls packed with memorabilia make it clear this isn’t just a bar—it’s a living piece of St. Paul history. It feels worn in, but in all the right ways… like generations have laughed, argued, celebrated, and made memories here.

While I was sitting at the bar, I heard an older couple behind me reminiscing about coming here when they were college kids. That says everything. This place has been a cornerstone of the community for decades, and you can feel it the moment you walk in.

It’s authentic. No pretense. Just a damn good neighborhood bar with roots.

If you want a true St. Paul experience, skip the trendy spots and head to Gopher Bar. You’ll understand why locals keep coming back.“

“They donated Chicken Wings to a homeless shelter and the people living near this place should support them all the way. Just think how good the wings are when they are made by people who care! If you want to go out go tie Spring Street!“

“I’ve been there and think it’s pretty freaking good pub burger is the bomb beer cold and clean glasses. Nothing better that a great burger and beer in joint D,D&D’s are spot on. Thanks Guy F.“

“Our Bar Tender Becky was the best...“

“Prompt service and great quality and tasty food !“

“The best staff and team !!“

“My son and I enjoy the atmosphere and the people there. The food is delicious!!“

“Wonderful Sunday breakfast brunch! Great service; delicious food!!“

“Oh so delicious! Best burgers and fried chicken sandwich! Ice cold Beer!“

“The Cubano was excellent, and the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream are better than other local establishments. I had to give props to the cooks. Most bar food is mediocre, but I was so impressed with their food. We had a great Sunday afternoon here chatting with regulars and the staff. Everyone was very friendly. We will be back!“

“The service here is fast and courteous! I recommend you give them a try!“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“Just a few doors down from the Turf Club sits a genuine hole- in- the- wall gem. A unique dining experience of food with flavors to expand your pallet. We had the yebeg tibs and veggie sambusa and a just in case order of chicken strips and french fries, which, while delicious, remained largely untouched as the yebeg lamb tibs and veggies entree was the star of the table. A No Forks Allowed shared entree with flavors that dance in your mouth, the bread (is that what it's called?) comes rolled up and the protein sits on top like a carpet. You grab a little piece of bread and scoop it up and make a mess and laugh and eat and EAT. The sauce was a savory, smoky collection of herbs and with a Minnesota Nice kick of spice, if my 70 yo mom could handle it, you can handle it. The umami was out of this world (and helps me to finally be able to define the taste, actually) The veggie sambusa was a perfectly fried pillow of yummy veggies with a salsa for dipping and the chicken strips were fried to perfection with fluffy french fries. The server was fast, friendly, and offered suggestions and answered questions we had about the menu. This restaurant is an invitation to a cultural exhibition of flavor and best of all, our 2 entrees — both large enough to share with at least 3 people) 2 drinks, and 1 app were reasonably priced at under $50.00. If you're going to a show at the Turf Club, come early for parking and dinner at Dilla, you won't be disappointed. It is an excellent addition to University Ave, I am glad they found a home on our little stretch of road and we should welcome them with open arms and empty bellies.“

“Recommend them. Just like the UK justice system only recognize two genders. A++“

“Went on a Wednesday evening after happy hour ended and the place was pretty open luckily. Seated and served a group of eight people well especially as most people only got drinks. Can’t attest the rest of their food but I tried the walleye BLT and it was shockingly pretty good. Definitely wasn’t expecting bar to serve such good food but would definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. I do hear this place gets pretty packed when there’s events at the theater next door so keep that in mind.“

“Nice place to hang out, and the beer mac and cheese is good, very filling; tatertots are *crispy*, would absolutely recommend. The person who cooked it up for me in the kitchen was *very* enthusiastic and friendly! The bartenders were pretty quiet for my taste but very attentive. Not my top bar, but would be *very happy* to stop by here again. Good THC drink selection.“

“We stopped at Manning's on 12/19/23 and ordered their burger & fries. The food was soooo good and the service was excellent! We will be back!!!“

“Absolutely love the Bulldog Downtown & LowerTown!!! Best burgers & Phillies ever!! So glad to be back!!!“

“I was very glad to eat here at the recommendation of my foodie friend so I knew it would be excellent. The food did not disappoint in any way! Don't miss the bourbon list or the au gratin potatoes. The service left much to be desired as I had a server who was very kind but screwed up my order as well as everyone around me. Definitely eat here when in St. Paul!“

“Great staff Great drinks Good music“

“Excellence ! A touch of Class, Incredible service, Incredible entertainment-Coconut Tiger! Great staff! Unbelievable how amazing the vibes were on Friday night! We love this place! What a great job these guys do wow. A+💯“

“The cowboy omelette is the best on the menu. And I haven’t found pancakes better than the pancakes served at Ole Piper Inn,“

“Lovely little spot to hang out. Beautiful inside and the staff is friendly. They also have a little patio area in the alley. The space as a whole was clean.
I tried the guava cooler mocktail and it was delicious.
Great space for music too. The stage and sound system are set up really great.“

“I rarely go out to eat because usually the food is overpriced and disappointing. It’s been so long since I enjoyed a perfect burger I forgot how good they can be. I am not kidding, the dream burger is some kind of special.“

“I love the Steak and eggs!!!!“

“This is the BEST place for great food and amazing service!! Deedee is the most incredible person!! All the staff is incredible. I drive over an hour just to hang out at this awesome bar and restaurant. Thank you to you all!“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

“Love the food and atmosphere here. Excellent vibe. Great place for happy hour and to gamble. Love the pulltab girl ❣️❣️“

“Best food I’ve had. Byron who waited/bartender for us is GOAT. Thank you!!!!“

“quiet Sunday afternoon, places was pretty empty.
expected standard pub fare, and were surprised to find really good brats and hot dogs. ordered a beet salad and all was fresh and flavorful. will keep it in mind for future forays into that area.“

“great place and great food!!“

“I came for a training for one my clients, Restoration Inc. The space was perfect for training. The food was great! The soup and salad was awesome! I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Minnesota.,“

“The Cherry Pit was an awesome weekday spot to grab grub with great food and great prices. Our server at the bar Allie was seriously fantastic. Humored my friend's inquiries while making sure we didn't go without desired additives and accommodations. The place is worth a shot, especially on a weekday evening!“

“fun little bar few dart boards and a few pool tables“

“We had yet another fantastic dining experience at The Exchange, and this visit truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was vibrant and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a memorable evening. Our server, Angela, was an absolute gem, her enthusiasm for the menu and her attentive service made all the difference.

She went above and beyond, sharing her favorites and suggesting delightful pairings that enhanced our meal. Angela’s warm personality and genuine care made us feel like we were the most important guests in the restaurant.

We decided to try the Cuban sandwich, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The combination of flavors was harmonious, with perfectly grilled bread and succulent fillings that danced on our taste buds.

As we dined, the atmosphere buzzed with laughter and the clinking of glasses, adding to the excitement of the evening. Each bite of food felt like a celebration, and we savored every moment.

Overall, it was an amazing dinner that transcended our expectations, and we can’t wait to return for another culinary adventure at The Exchange!“

“A friend and I visiting from out of town stopped by here for a couple of drinks outside. It’s unapologetically a neighborhood dive bar that looks to have been there for maybe 100 years. The outdoor patio has about 10 tables, next to the parking lot. Our waitress and bartenders were super friendly and nice. They are famous for the “Original” roast beef sandwich. So we ordered it. I wouldn’t order again. It was fine, but basically a massive pile of meat on a bun. Maybe it’s famous for how big it is.“

“The fact you can stop in here on a Sunday and get 10 jumbo wings for 5 bucks is actually an insane deal. It might just be a Sunday thing but they also had half off apps while we were there too. The wings were perfectly cooked, moist and the BBQ ones were delicious. Our waitress was also super nice so we left her a nice tip. It wasn't very busy while we were there which is probably because it's a holiday weekend. However, I could see this place getting super busy with the kind of deals they are offering.“
