15 Best Cocktail Bars near Circle Pines

“Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic — every dish came out hot and perfectly prepared. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome the entire time. The atmosphere was fun, clean, and relaxing, making it a great place for dinner with family or friends. The chips and salsa were amazing, and the portions were generous for the price. Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to, and I’ll absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Great menu for GF, Vegan, and Vegetarian as well as for meat eaters. Fresh and local ingredients. Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Friendly staff. Parking lot and located off a bus line in a walkable and bike friendly neighborhood. If you liked the food truck, then you will love this.“

“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!“

“Ate at Oliver’s for the first time this morning. Not good. First had the supposedly spicy Bloody Mary. Not spicy at all, not worth $8.99. And I don’t prefer real spicy. Next had the eggs Benedict. OMG I could have fit both eggs on one half of the muffin and still not covered it. The ham, if that’s what you want to call it was something I’ve never seen before, thinner than bacon and tough. The hollandaise sauce was the worst. It is better in the pkg from the grocery store. Will never be back. The staff was very nice.“

“Great staff. Plenty of menu selections with weekly specials. We've become regulars. Going back tonight.“

“This place is a solid dive bar that takes you right back to the '70s. It's not fancy, just good drinks at great prices. The place is super relaxed, and the crowd is friendly and laid-back. It’s in the heart of downtown. This bar is an adults type place, though—wouldn't recommend bring the kids. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink and relax, this is it. Highly recommend!“

“Every time I visit the staff are great and the food is amazing! A must visit!“

“Great entertainment set up The food was okay but way overpriced and I really didnt enjoy eating in the dark ! Next time I would just go and have a drink and an appetizer or dessert . I would stop somewhere else for food“

“Thanks for treating us Vets to a fine lunch and great service, much appreciated.“

“Love the atmosphere and the rotisserie smoked chicken was delicious.“

“We stop here every year when we go to Back to the 50’s. It’s become a yearly tradition ❤️ Amazing food and such a fun atmosphere!“

“Amazing food and amazing owners! We have been coming here for 15 years and the quality of food and service is always top tier.“

“Overall great atmosphere and the food is quite good other than the fries which gave me a yucky tummy from the grease. I was shocked, however, to be charged $7 for hot tea! SEVEN DOLLARS. Seriously? It's water and a cheap tea bag. 🤨 Another reason to stick with lukewarm tap water when eating out. Also be aware that there is a 2.9% fee for using a credit card. I'm not sure if it's noted on the menu but it's on the bottom of the check.“

“When In Minneapolis a must try!!“

“This was my wife and I’s first visit to the Blaine location. Overall, experience here was good. Cozy vibe, busy on a Sunday as you’d expect, drinks were good. Service was very good, our server was very attentive. However, my country fried steak and eggs plate left something to be desired. Portion was good, but the hash browns and eggs were incredibly dry. Seemed like they used little to no oil or butter to fry them up. The country gravy helped a little but still couldn’t finish them. The steak was tue best part, which is what you’d expect. My wife got the sunrise chili crunch bowl was much better; big portion, good flavor. We’d still come back to give another try but the St Louis Park location is better.“
