11 Best Bars near Hampton

“So, on a Facebook post somebody asked about favorite local pizza restaurants. Yes there are quite a few good local ones, but scrolling thru the responses was Meric's in Hampton. Wow, this is truly a hidden gem. Wood fire pizza with excellent toppings with meat where we purchase our meat at. The garlic bombs are delicious. Our family knows were you are now. YUM !“

“We've stopped here a couple of times every Lent for their Friday Nite Fish Fry for decades -- literally! It's always busy, so make reservations and plan for a beverage at the bar before you're seated. Once seated, the servers are very friendly and attentive. The food is amazing! You won't go away hungry. The all-you-can-eat fish, with salad, potato, and garlic toast is most satisfying. It's no wonder that it was tasted the Best Friday Fish Fry in the Twin Cities. (Well, extended Twin Cities.) Enjoy!“

“Great bar with the classic small town clients. Only complaint was it seemed like someone blew up the toilet so bad it put it's 100+ year plumbing to work! I think I saw the lady coming out who was the culprit. She was mentioning her lactose intolerance due to eating pizza at the place across the street. I just can't believe someone would do that to a place with such rich history in the great town of Hampton. Shame on that lady!“

“Cheap, quality sit down food.If you have a minute, it's definitely worth the visit.Staff are amazing, always happy to give you an MN "hello" and "goodbye"Burgers and chicken are great, very hot and tasty.Seats are eh, it's what you'd expect from an old restaurant“

“We rented the newly renovated upstairs for our daughter's Army "send off" party. The food was amazing! And when I ran out of food an hour early, the owner was able to bring out a few more pounds. (Tip: order more than you think you'll need, anticipate many of your guests going back for seconds, the food is so good!!)“

“Came here from St Paul because we're always looking for great food in unexpected place - and this is DEFINITELY such a place. Tammie (bartender/wait person and Dave - co-owner and cook) were super friendly. Equally important, the food is GREAT! We had the melted ham and cheese sandwich, which was very good, the special pizza - which was TERRIFIC. They had suggestions, but you can can pick among several meats and vegetables for this pizza. And one of us had a Bloody Merry. She's had this drink all over the world and says this was the best! Vermillion is about 35 minutes south of St Paul. Definitely worth a drive.“

“What a fabulous time that we had! Katie was our bartender and server, and I can not say enough great things about her! Our dinner was fabulous! Jumbo shrimp… Out of this world! Cajun pasta… Out of this world! Cannot wait to come back and visit our new friends… Kristi, you rock as well!“

“This is our favorite place. We come multiple times a week. Good drinks, food never disappoints, and the staff are like an extended family to us. This is our Cheers. Cheese Curds are to die for. Hangover burger, garlic parm wings, fish and chips, sandwiches - it’s all good!“

“We stopped in from our drive from Rochester to Minneapolis for lunch on Tuesday. My husband and I got the chicken tinga tacos and an appetizer. Food was excellent. We were very surprised when our server said the boss comped our meal! It was a random act of kindness and he had no idea what kind of morning that we had. So thankful for the thoughtfulness. Will definitely be back!“

“Love the workers here!! The food was amazing!was done fast and well !Got a burger and walleye fingers !! So yummy ! I crave them all the time now! Comes with a great sauce and good portions! Burger was great sized, and tasty ! Thank you Deny and staff for amazing service!“

“Recommend this Friday night fish fry. Plenty of seating altho the kitchen had a hard time keeping up. The food was hot, breading on the fish was crisp and the flaky white fish inside was delish. Onion rings were great as were the waffle fries, worth the upcharge altho the regular fries looked fine. Server took our orders as quickly as they could on a busy Friday night. It took about 30 minutes from order to plates delivered but we were warned that it might take awhile. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, checking on us frequently. We will be back!“
