31 Best Craft Breweries near Bloomington

“Welcome to the neighborhood Nine Mile!! First timer…loved the beer, pretzels, popcorn. Very knowledgeable staff. Patio was being constructed when we were there, looks awesome. One suggestion, please consider changing the uncomfortable chairs (tables of two) by the windows looking over the patio. Fortunately, we were able to find bar chairs to move to where we met other customers who moved for the same reason. We’ll be back to enjoy the patio! Cheers!“

“Our family has a blast visiting Bang Brewing!!! The beers were 10/10 and the setting is so darn peaceful! Sit and watch the pollinators come and go, can't wait to visit in the other seasons! Go and relax with a great beer and then be inspired to go tend to or make your native garden!!!“

“Fantastic kombucha from a local company with great values and a strong connection to their community! My parents & I came by hoping to get some growlers for a family event, and the owner let us sample what was on tap and took the time to tell us about the business and cool initiatives they have underway, including partnering with the U of M and various breweries. We were so impressed by the quality of the beverages as well as the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability, not to mention going above-and-beyond in terms of customer service. The three flavors of kombucha we got were all super popular with our guests! I’m now going to be keeping an eye out for J’s and enjoying it whenever I have the chance!“

“Came for the one year anniversary. Great time! Seltzer on tap was off putting (i guess). The offsale was intriguing but if you wanted to try something before you buy, you're SOL.

BURGERS IN THE BACK WERE GREAT!

I'll definitely be back. I do miss the blonde they had in the beginning ☺️“

“My favorite spot to grab a beer in the neighborhood. Staff has always been pleasant. Really good brews and usually a nice variety on tap. They host community events regularly and their contribution to the neighborhood is felt and noticeable. Wonderful and comfortable space with public transit nearby for accessibility. Handful of pinball machines. Great little outdoor patio. Gender neutral single stall bathrooms. Solid rotation of good food trucks. Great spot for anyone!“

“This is one of Minneapolis's great breweries! There is so much space here and they usually have a fun food truck for goodies to snack on. What I really loved while visiting, was how much effort was put into the Bavarian decor theme. Super fun!“

“Such a comfortable place for a brew or two.“

“Nice patio, comfortable interior. I go to work, drink an Icee or two and eat their free popcorn. Friendly staff. Right on Mainstreet Hopkins.“

“We went to Steel Toe for the first time today. We enjoyed the best of Minneapolis summer entertainment. They have a nice outdoor area with a food truck for your tummy. We played a trivia game and saw others playing cribbage. It was quiet and lots of actual chatting and interacting that doesn't happen when music or TV is overbearing.“

“Large space. Limited brews, more food than brews which was interesting. The brown ale was great though!!“

“Going to give this place another try. Fun little brew pub located in downtown Prior Lake... I have an event to calendar with food trucks and events like trivia. I think I would really like this place, however on my first visit the flies were quite extraordinarily bad 😞“

“Love the atmosphere. Good food, great beer!“

“super fun comedy show & great beer!“

“Joined for dog yoga and simply love the vibe, the German name theme and all the diverse community events! Kudos for having a Big Lebowski themed bash!!“

“Bald Man Brewing has lots of easy parking, ample interior space, large outdoor seating area, and clean restrooms. The beers were really good. We had an excellent brown ale and really good OctoberFest.
We met family there, including several children, and everyone was welcome and had a lovely time.“

“I have been to Fat Pants for Weddings, Rehearsal Dinners, and Networking Events. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak at an event at Fat Pants.“

“We had lunch on Saturday at the bar and Tyler’s service and overall attentiveness was outstanding! The food and drinks, I had a flight, were very good. Great experience our first time there.“

“I really like Surly's beer but never had the opportunity to visit the Beer Hall. I was warmly received, but not told about restaurant week specials. I enjoyed trying a Mosh Pit Hazy IPA - yummy. I ordered some mahi tacos. They were OK but expensive for what I got. There were no 'sides' I could order! I ordered chicken tacos. It was a small serving of pulled chicken. Again, way too expensive for what I got. Would have liked a side salad or fries. I sat at the bar. Service was friendly and fast. It was a good first visit. Will not be rushing back anytime soon. Too bad.“

“Stopped in to get to go meal while at a conference at the hotel next door. Staff were welcoming and accommodating of my request, even let me have a water and tea while waiting. Food was excellent. I live in Saint Paul but will be making town hall a new place to stop with friends!“

“Great neighborhood place for laid back vibes that is dog and kid friendly“

“The food was delicious but our waiter was the highlight. He was so fun and chatty and treated us very well. The menu is huge and I wanna go back to try more things. We just did the small sampler. Green beans were fab but the loaded tots were a tish dry. I forgot to take a pic of the BLT but it was very good.“

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