“We hung out here for my nephew’s birthday. This would be all of our first time here. We’re a pretty young group (24-32 year olds with some toddlers) and we happen to walk into a dance night. It was so much fun! The vibes were good. Music was different for us but still enjoyable. Workers checked in on us to make sure we were doing all right. I left 2 gift bags there and they kept it safe for the next day. Thank you! Definitely coming back.“

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!“

J's Kombucha Brewery •
755 Prior Ave N #348, St Paul - 6.49 miles

“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!“

Haggard Barrel Brewing Brewery •

“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 ☺️“

Arbeiter Brewing Company Brewery •

“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!“

Insight Brewing & Taproom Brewery • $
2821 E Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis - 4.25 miles

“We were here for the first time last night. A lot of fun, the beers we tried were excellent. A porter and the “Lunchbox”. We had come because one of our favorite food trucks was parked there. Will definitely be back!

The only negative is, there are very few low-top tables. All booths, and all were taken. We just dislike high tops, because getting up and down the high stools is uncomfortable for our old knees. If there were more lower tables, we’d be more comfortable, but recognize this is a personal preference.“

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.“

Torg Brewery Brewery • $
8421 University Ave NE, Spring Lake Park - 5.08 miles

“One of the true hidden gems of the Twin Cities metro, an absolutely fantastic nerd and even kid-friendly space (foosball, arcade machines, darts are all favorites). There are few better places to meet up and play a game - personally, not being a sports person, I love the lack of TVs, nothing to sap your attention or make you feel captive to random commercials. I go there regularly to play TTRPGs. Great beer, alcoholic and non-alcoholic seltzers, you can BYOF (Mashawi grill up the road is delicious). The beers aren't the usual 6 IPAs and 5 sours, there's a nice mix of British and German styles (including wheat beers, which are weirdly hard to find).

There are absolutely a million play spaces in different nooks and crannies in the building, you can always find a quiet place to play even if there's music, etc. The owner hosts tons of events, nerdy and otherwise. I only wish I could drink more beer and go more often.“

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.“

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.“

“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.“
