“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.“

Recommended
241 Fremont Ave N, Minneapolis - 5.29 miles

“The beer is always good and the michelada is one of the best you'll have. The space is surprisingly large on the inside and there is a small soccer field outside in the rear. There are tvs. The only downside is the difficulty of parking“

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 •
6413 Cambridge St, St Louis Park - 9.69 miles

“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 •
3038 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis - 7 miles

“Likes: the beer, the location, and the ethos. I tried the Tokki rice lager and the Bee Sting vanila honey cream ale; they both tasted great. Tokki = delicate, Bee Sting (inspired by the German Bienenstich cake) is sweet. Moon Palace Books is next door, so you can browse, purchase, and read your new find with a beer if you so desire. Lots of space -- there's a main level indoors, and a second indoor level (though that was reserved on my visit) and a patio out back next to the parking lot. The intersection of Minnehaha and Lake Street has a lot going on. I like that they not only have a land acknowledgment on their website but also mention the indigenous organizations they work with. Putting one's money where one's mouth is. I also like the name, Arbeiter, which places the rights of the worker front and center.

Dislikes: Surprise music. My book club had a meeting there and we had to sit outside because we wouldn't have been able to hear each other over the live music indoors. It was just barely warm enough to be outside in the evening. I am now wondering whether this is an every-night thing or an occasional thing. It wasn't on the events calendar so no way to avoid.

Neutral: Dog-friendly, no food but there are food trucks.“

Utepils Brewing Brewery • $

“This is my favorite brewery in Minnesota.

The beer is excellent and the building is charming inside and out.

My wife and I found a quiet corner of the outdoor patio yesterday beneath the shade and spent a fabulous Memorial Day here.

My sole complaint is that the bathrooms are too far from the taproom and even further from the outdoors space.“

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.“

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.“

He was very knowledgeable of the history of the creation of beer and compared it to how their product is made today. I love that this is a woman owned company and is so involved in giving back to the community and making a difference. I can’t wait to go to their new location!“

There’s a place to grab food inside, so they don’t allow outside food, plenty of games, and even TVs. I love a sour, and they have lots here, but I didn’t find any that I loved.“

Fulton Beer Taproom Brewery • $$
414 N 6th Ave, Minneapolis - 4.64 miles

“Great place to meet up in downtown Minneapolis before a game, Fulton Brewery is the best place to meet your friends before a Twins game at Target Field.

Perfect location right on the edge of the residential area and the stadium district, so you avoid the chaos but stay close enough to walk. Parking is actually manageable (rare downtown), which makes coordinating a group way easier.

We met up with friends here before the game and it checked every box—plenty of space, easy to find, and a great atmosphere to kick things off.

The new kitchen is a big upgrade. Solid comfort food that actually holds its own—not just “brewery snacks.” with with 20 taps ranging from classic beers, THC to seltzers for the gluten free crowd.

If you’re searching for a downtown Minneapolis brewery, a pre-game meetup spot, or just a reliable place to gather with friends as you head to the events—this is a fun place.“

We started with the Ahhh American IPA and the Zweisel Marzen. Under Pressure Brewing has plenty of events to enjoy as well as a library of books and chess board tables.“

“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.“
