50 Best Bar & Grill near Bloomington

“gone here many times and they've got great food!“

“On Friday night, August 11th, I got delayed in Bemidji by thunderstorms. I was supposed to land in Minneapolis by 7 and then go to the hotel for a quiet and relaxing evening. Instead, I arrived at 11:30 p.m., totally exhausted and frazzled. I had missed dinner and my husband called the hotel and asked if he could have a pizza delivered for me. When I arrived, I mentioned this to the women at the front desk. They smiled and told me it was already in my room! I then asked if there was any way I could order a glass of wine to also take to my room. They smiled and said the was already taken care of. When I got to my room, not only did I find a small pizza and glass of wine sitting on the table for me, but they had added a Hersheys Candy bar and a hand written card to me..all on their own!! I still have the card and will keep it as a sign to me of how kind total strangers can be. The card reads, "Welcome! So glad you made it safe. Here's a love token from your husband. Enjoy your night! Sleep tight. Love, HGI staff Give these women a raise!! They turned a very exhausting and stressful night into such a wonderful experience. I was only able to be in your hotel for a total of 6 hours, but I slept so well knowing I was so cared for! Thank you!!!“

“Always good service & good food!“

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

“Great experience, such friendly, quick service, food was delicious, steak & mimosas for breakfast were outstanding!“

“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 :-)“

“Very fun! I can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“Prompt service and great quality and tasty food !“

“It’s a great place….what’s not to love!“

“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.“

“Loved this place. Great wings and delicious burgers. Plus Root beer on tap. Miss this place next time I’m back in Minnesota I will definitely be eating there!“

“Great for weekend activities“

“Best dive bar around you won’t regret it“

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

“Minneapolis can be intimidating for a small town Wisconsin girl like me. I was looking for a pub that felt like home and Mackenzie’s was exactly what I was looking for! Such a warm and cozy atmosphere. I was impressed by the very unique selection of seasonal cocktails and the pretty diverse menu (so many things looked good it was hard to decide). I’m still thinking of the Thai peanut wrap days later, seriously some of the best sauce I’ve had in my whole life. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Minneapolis!“

“Really enjoyed my visit here while I was in town on a work trip. Stopped in for a beer and ended up also having one of their hot chicken sandwiches which was very flavorful and a good portion size. The beer was great as well, no surprise. Will definitely be returning if I lm in the area again.“

“Great experience as our first time!“

“Food was awesome. Friday fish fry was only $15 and it was amazing. Can’t wait to go back tomorrow for dinner!“

“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.“

“Awesome Karaoke Great Karaoke Host and Great Staff Great Singers Nice People Great Atmosphere Those of You who like to sing Karaoke I recommend this Karaoke Venue“

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

“Stopped in at Neisen's last Wednesday night to check out and scout the talent on their karaoke night. Excellent joint, large and spacious. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Very affordable drink and food prices.

Ordered a club sandwich with fries and it was absolutely delicious. Sandwich was toasted just right and lots of meat and veggie in between the perfectly toasted bread. Asked to have the french fries made crispy and they totally met the mark, golden brown crispy and not burnt. Tons and tons of parking.

El Gato's Recommendation:
Highly recommend Neison's for a bite and a pint. Stop and you won't regret it.
Music (singers) were excellent too by the way!“

“What a nice, comfortable, and enjoyable place. We were staying close and wanted a burger for dinner, and the were over the top, fantastic! You gotta have the waffle fries, they’re worth stopping in on their own. The service was spot on, timely, and polite. Olivia was our server and she made us feel like we were her only customers, and the place was busy. Great place to bring the family. Two thumbs up for Team POG, Minneapolis!!“

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

“Jackson's Hole gas pretty good happy hour drink specials“

“Ordered tuna melt and fries. I'm surprised they could spare the 15 cold fries. Sad 😔“

“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.“

“Welcoming, with just the right amount of lighting, TVs, ambient music and TVs. Cozy bar area. Highly recommend the chips and queso, it's way more complicated and tasty than it sounds. Plenty of street parking. You'd be dumb not to go here.“

“Totally accommodated our baseball team during the State Tournament despite not having knowledge of the tournament. They were kind, respectful, and did all they could to get our orders in within a limited amount of time. We love this place and appreciate their willingness to serve us despite being short staff during a crazy, busy time.“

“Went here last week with husband, Jim Soucek. We were looking for a new and fun place to try for lunch and found it at the Tavern! We enjoyed their sharable Pizza and will be back for more! Excited to try their Brunch!“

“A local Rochester, MN restaurant chain -now branching out to a new location- Newt’s (Apple Valley) brings everything we love about the Rochester locations (GREAT burgers, beers, and unlimited popcorn!) to our little corner of the Metro. We were stoked when we heard Newt’s had arrived, and our first visit there certainly delivered. The food and atmosphere were excellent. Great service too! Welcome to our neighborhood Newt’s. We wish you much success here in Apple Valley, MN. Keep it up.“

“The food and drinks were good“

“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.“

“Always a good time, wonderful neighborhood bar.“

“As a vendor. HBC management made me feel comfortable. All the employees were positive and always smiling. I love this type of environment.“

“We got 2 french dip sandwiches with fries and they were great. Fries were fresh and crispy and horseradish and au jus was great as well. Pricey but to be expected for the airport. The restaurant is up a level so you get a great view of everything below. Alison, our server, was super lovely as well.“

“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“

“thank you for feeding us at saluting branches! the food was top notch! much appreciated!!“

“I travel every other week and typically fly through the Minneapolis airport. I stop in at Twins for breakfast almost every time. My man Evan is always working the morning shift and take great care of me. He even remembers my order and gets my coffee and food order in asap when he sees me. The guy is great and always makes my Twins stop enjoyable!“

“Staff here was wonderful!! Food is great with good sized portions!“

“This review isn't just about the food or the atmosphere at Champps in Eden Prairie, it's about the service delivered by one incredible person: Kevale, the bartender.

I can confidently say Kevale is, without a doubt, the greatest bartender I have ever encountered. The level of professionalism and attentiveness he provides is staggering. He is a master of his craft, but more importantly, he possesses the rare ability to manage a busy bar while simultaneously making every single guest feel seen and immediately taken care of.

The true measure of his excellence is this: I don't live nearby, but I travel specifically to this location because I know Kevale works here. I will never hesitate to drive out of my way because I know he will never let you down or leave you hanging, whether you need a quick refill, a recommendation, or just a friendly face. His consistent reliability is why I am loyal.

Kevale is an enormous asset to the Eden Prairie Champps, and management needs to take note. This man absolutely deserves a significant raise. His presence elevates the entire experience, turning a standard sports bar into a destination. Thank you, Kevale, for being the best!“

“Love it! Great service and fantastic bar food out in the edges of the Twin cities.“

“Best bar in Apple valley!!!!“

“Went here with extended family as the Aquatennial parade was cancelled.

Hosted about 18 of us on 3 lanes.

Got us in and up and running smoothly.

Server did an amazing job considering our group size.

Pretzels and Philly were amazing.

Cheese curds were a little too much breading and needed some ranch - finished them before the side of ranch came 😜

Drink prices were affordable and bowling was fairly priced.

Was a fun time considering the cancellation and would go back again- if in the area.

Thank you!“

“In between flights we stopped at Ike's Clubhouse. We were trying to find a reasonable spot. We all know airport restaurants can be expensive. But with the luck of Google, we were able to find Ike's. Chase, our waiter was good. My wife and I weren't too hungry so we told Chase we were going to share a meal. Well to our surprise, the server came out with our meal split in two plates. My wife and a were in aww of the hospitality. I know I know that you're thinking, that is a minor detail, but to us that went a long way. I was just expecting a plate with our food, I'd cut it in half and ask for another plate, but they thought about that prior. Besides that, the food was good, the price was reasonable for an airport restaurant and the hospitality was top notch. Thank you Chase and staff!!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator to get to the upper level where the restaurant is located.“
