“Been a few times for beer but this time I came for coffee and to do some work. It was a really chill place to come work and I love that they've got bottomless drip coffee; just need to pop back up to the bar to grab a refill. Everyone I've talked to there has been super helpful and friendly. Always willing to answer any questions and give recommendations. They've got some pastries from Brittner's next door, standard bar snacks, and N/A options. Only open until 12 on Mondays but you can always roll straight from coffee to beer depending on how your day's going! They hold a lot of events and fundraisers for local groups, which is awesome to see. Their beer is good and it's a great change of pace from the trendy, industrial-chic spots I normally get to. Will probably add this coffee shop to my regular remote work rotation.“
“I’m super fond of this gem of a brewery in Edina because it has a great, chill vibe for gathering with friends. Plenty of parking (behind the brewery), big indoor space with different types of seating arrangements of smaller tables or long tables for spreading out (more communal feel). There’s no shortage of natural light (bring those sunglasses because the sun can be super bright!) and big screen tvs for those that want to catch a game. It’s easy to spend a few hours hanging out, playing board games and enjoying the food and beverages here.“
“A cosy brewery where you can sit down with your buds and enjoy every sip. They have a good variety of beers on tap and few seasonal ones as well. You can have free popcorns on the side to enjoy with your beers. They have limited seating for up to around 10 tables, so chose a not so busy time to go there and make the most of it. ?“
“A brand new brewery! I went on 10/15, and was told that they opened 9/30. They have a good core of 4 beers on tap already; a cream ale, Oktoberfest, stout and blonde. According to the signs, they are looking to expand their tap list with an IPA, a hazy and a hefeweizen in the newr future. The staff was awesome, the beer tender was friendly and charismatic. The taproom itself is quaint, even if a bit crowded. But they did have a tv with the Vikings game on! There is a shelf unit with several games and another with their merch. Merch was shirts and baseball caps and beanies. The beer was decent and I am excited to go back once they work the kinks out of their process and introduce more beer styles!“
“Cool spot with nice wrap around bar with plenty of seating. Attached Mexican kitchen is a big bonus. Family friendly. Now, most importantly, the beer. The Bock was excellent; hit all the marks on what a Bock beer embodies. Their flagship Traitor IPA was also very good. Like Arnold said, "I'll be bock."“
“The beer can be hit or miss in my experience, for the cost especially if can be disappointing... Usually it's at least decent but have had a few beers that have made me just want a macro instead. Happy to have them here though, what a location and bike friendliness is so appreciated. Always worth supporting.“
“Coffee cream ale was great. Very nice space offering a lot a seating options including couches. Golf simulator looked like a lot of fun. Service could have been better and they wouldn’t sell me a crowler of coffee cream ale because they were running out of 4 other kinds beers they had on tap. Didn’t fully understand that. After seeing someone else get a crowler made for them. Lol.“
“We were invited as part of a group. First time there. What a great place! Live music, several families with kids (not obnoxious at all), interesting selection of beers. I had Peppermint Nacht, very tasty! We split a giant pretzel with dipping cheese/mustard/caramel between 5 of us. We will be back ☺️ You should join us!“
“Very inviting place. Nice open floor and very clean. Service is amazing and the beers they make are some of the best around. Nice snacks available as well. Always a fun experience when you go. Definitely one of the better places to go to. So much fun to be here. Even got to see some dogs joining the place. Outside seating is also fun. Looking for a nice place to meet friends at lunch it is a great choice.“
“Visited Boom Island Brewing Company and Taproom for their Lord of the Rings Night and it was an unforgettable experience! The dedication to cosplay transformed the place, making it feel as though we'd stepped right into Middle-earth. The theme-appropriate music was the cherry on top. I was there for 5 hours, and even though I missed the trivia, I had a fantastic time. It's worth noting they host trivia every Thursday at 6:30 pm, which I'll definitely not miss next time. The atmosphere was inviting, their kombucha was delicious, and the Hana Bistro food truck was top-notch. Highly recommend for an immersive themed evening!“
“Excelsior Brewing is now one of the best breweries in the twin cities. I used to think their beers were just ok, but they have seriously stepped up their game in the past couple of years. The strawberry cream ale, spiced dark ale (can’t remember the exact name!) and their s’mores beer are unique and tasty. Their location in excelsior is great and their trivia night on Thursdays is super fun. Don’t always head to Minneapolis for great beer- Excelsior is where it’s at!!!!“
“Been here a few times. Solid beer, lots of options, unique atmosphere. The winning point though is the owners. They're engaged, nice, and accommodating. We went in with our 2 and 4 year olds and they gave them suckers and a fun little whip cream treat!“

“Stopped here in between events at Paisley Park to kill time. Coffee bar hours are from 8am-2pm so there was a limited coffee menu available.Ordered the hot nitro with a shot of dark chocolate. Pretty good coffee and very friendly employees.This is actually a family and pet friendly place with some games for kids and a patio area when the weather is nice. They also host different food trucks. There were a number of families with kids enjoying themselves while I was there.“

“We had a table of 19 and the manager was very accommodating. The staff were absolutely fantastic and we never saw a bottom of a glass. We explored many of the menu options from the short rib tacos to the lobster rolls. Everyone agreed that the food was a 10/10. Bold and beautiful flavors! The presentation was also beautiful and not lacking. The relish tray like most supper clubs have, was also a pleasant experience with a cheese pâté, boiled egg, sweet pickles, potato salad and more. The ambience was 2nd to none and we will be back for a date night as it has a really romantic feel. We are a loud Minnesotan family that enjoys family and friends. We were embraced by patrons and staff. Everything was enjoyable and beautiful. We will definitely be back.Xtreme Pest SolutionsOwner - Beau Geer“
“We LOVE Fat Pants. It's our favorite local watering hole. They have a great variety of beers, seltzers, THC/CBD drinks and satisfying menu items. We also love their trivia nights, live music, Oktoberfest week, etc. Fat Pants makes every holiday fun and festive. The only downside is how crowded it's becoming. They need to expand, it's becoming so popular. If anything, an expanded patio would help - bonus if it could be covered & heated in the colder months.“
