“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“

Utepils Brewing Brewery • $

“We hosted a Welcome to the Wedding Weekend event at Utepils in Bay 10 (private event space). It was perfect! Taylor was so quick to respond to my questions and so helpful with layout ideas. We had 100 people and everyone raved about how great the space was. Taylor was our bartender for the evening and was fantastic. There were plenty of options on tap for our guests and we were able to set up catering and it worked great. It was a great start to a very special weekend and I would definitely recommend Utepils for an event!“

Haggard Barrel Brewing Brewery •
6413 Cambridge Street, St. Louis Park - 4.03 miles

“I love sours, been to many places in MN and other states. The Glonky is the best I have ever had but also the priciest. If you want a premium sour you will pay a premium price. Little cheaper in cans. Wish I still lived in MN so i could come more frequently but will stop in on our visits.

By the way... they say Asheville has the greatest breweries. Not even close to MN. MN, the best thing you have going for your major cities is your breweries, treat them well.“

Torg Brewery Brewery • $
8421 University Avenue Northeast, Spring Lake Park - 10.11 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.“

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.

Fulton Beer Taproom Brewery • $$
414 North 6th Avenue, Minneapolis - 3.98 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.“
