241 Fremont Ave N, Minneapolis - 5.29 miles

“La Doña is a fantastic place to meet up with friends for beer, tacos, hablar en Español, and Trivia Mafia. I invite my friends to Trivia Mafia on Tuesday nights, and we have an incredibly fun time with the whimsical trivia. We have even won gift card prizes some times! Today before Trivia Mafia, I ordered chips & guacamole, with extra guacamole and cilantro mayo. I also ordered the steak quesadilla. Very delicious!“

Utepils Brewing Brewery • $
225 Thomas Ave N #700, Minneapolis - 5.76 miles

“Nice large venue both the indoors and patio. Their beer menu is more traditional/European styles, which is my preference.

They have an outdoor ordering window and indoor ordering lane which helps reduce the awkward talking over someone’s shoulder type ordering many bars have.

The hefe-mosa and witbier were my favorite.“

HeadFlyer Brewing Brewery • $
861 E Hennepin Ave #100, Minneapolis - 3.92 miles

“Would not work with this venue again, as they do not operate in good faith with their artists. They intentionally lied and misled a group of full-time working artists, and will probably continue to do so moving forward, as venues like this tend to fall into habit of mistreating acts Disappointing to say the least, I would not support live entertainment here. I can guarantee you the money is not going and the hands of the performers or producers putting on the events, as it should. If you are a performer or producer yourself, please look elsewhere, there are many other fantastic venues in the nearby neighborhoods that are worth supporting and working with.“

56 Brewing Brewery • $
3055 NE Columbia Ave Suite 102, Minneapolis - 2.09 miles

“How could I have not reviewed this place yet? Been going here weekly since they weren’t here but over behind there. You know what I mean. The beer is consistently excellent. There have been a few whoops beers that I didn’t care for, but that’s just my tastes buds fault I guess. Flagship beers are the hazy and hoppy ‘sippi squeeze and the crisp crispy business. Also they have a gosh darn happy hour! A happy hour in this day and age, you say? Yes way, I say! $5 weekdays 4-6. Thank god there is still a business in Minneapolis that has the guts to serve $5 beers.

If you don’t go the 56 you are really missing out. Their patio faces the sunset and is shaded by a huge beautiful cottonwood. The side deck faces a giant community garden. Truly a great spot.

The staff are the coolest. They treat you like a friend; sometimes they laugh with you and sometimes they laugh at you. 😁“

Under Pressure Brewing Brewery • $$
8806 7th Ave N, Golden Valley - 8.22 miles

“My dad and I - both huge craft beer fans- stumbled across this absolute gem last night. Neither of us live in the area (I’m in S Mpls and he’s in the south suburbs), but we were in Plymouth looking for a brewery and this one sounded unique. I’m going to try to make this succinct, but so much was perfection, so here’s a list of PROS:
-Friendly and extremely knowledgable staff. My dad asks lots of questions, and the kind beertender had good answers about how the brews were made, hops used, “this is a little different than other brews in this style, what’s different?”, etc. He even came out from behind the bar to chat with us, which I don’t see at any other tap rooms.
-HUGE variety of brews, and nearly all were fabulous in my opinion.
-Completely unique vibe, which was refreshing for me coming from Minneapolis, where it’s easier to find a brewery thats just like all the other breweries than it is to find someone who’s doing something truly unique.
-Related to the above: chairs were actually comfortable and not those crappy metal chairs every single brewery has.
-Dad loved the library. Between the excellent selection of books and beers, I think he was ready to move in.
-Variety of upcoming events, including the classic trivia, a maker’s market, and TRICYCLE JOUSTING coming up on 6/1.
-Appears they have a patio as well, it was raining when we visited.
-Head brewer is a woman, which is less common than one might hope in 2025, but here we are. She’s so talented, and I’m a fan without even having met you, Lori!

Cons:
-No in-house food, which some may prefer. I didn’t mind ordering in from Davanni’s, who gave us a discount for ordering from the brewery. Perhaps they have food trucks sometimes, I’ll keep an eye out for that when I return. They do have snacks like pretzels and chips.
-This place is not in my back yard, which is only a con for me personally; hopefully they’re closer to you, dear reader.

Overall, well worth a return trip to see what’s on tap and sit a spell in a friendly, welcoming, unique environment.“

“Stopped in after a gloomy, rainy travel day for a brew and a bite. First, it's in a lovely old neighborhood, very safe, very walkable. The building is beautiful and the rooftop terrace expansive. Sun peeked out JUST enough that we drank the first beer up top. My Roggan Rojabier was sublime and the cozy welded firepits just added to the Fall vibe. Decided to have a second brew and a burger -- the og smashburger was insanely tasty. I finished the whole dang thing. But the best part? The kindest, most helpful, fun staff. Is everyone in Minneapolis just that delightful?“
