“Tuttles has it all and totally stepped it up with the renovation of the dining area and the Live Music. Tuttle’s Eat, Bowl, Play is a powerhouse of fun, great food, great service, incredible music and togetherness with Community! You MUST stop in for a bite and please do stay a while to go bowling and later see the live music.“

“A great area for dogs of all sizes to run outdoors, attentive staff to manage any pup issues, a great menu, and great drinks! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening with friends and your dogs without worrying about keeping your dog on your heels. There is also an indoor area for rainy or snowy days.“

“We really enjoyed our evening here. We sat at the bar, and lucked out ordering two old fashioneds, as New Riff had just been there and paid them forward. What a treat! We ordered the meat/cheese board, the bruschetta burrata, and carrot cake (made locally by one of the staff). All delicious!! The vibe and atmosphere made it extra fun, as some of the other patrons at the bar and Pete (the amazing bartender) chatted with us. Overall, we had a fabulous night here. We'll be back. Thanks for the great service.“

“Cool place! 🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“This the hippest little sports bar you’ll find in the Twin Cities, right in the heart of Uptown in the former, iconic Shorty & Wags space (if you know, you know). Come for the holy trilogy of bardom: beer, sports & wings. The sports paraphernalia decor is outstanding, with no shortage of nostalgia. I’d recommend catching a Vikings game sometime,as they really get into it - playing amped up songs during commercial breaks, doling out purple hooter shots for touchdowns, and doing sing-a-longs to the Viking fight song. This place is a serious Uptown vibe.“

“The Northeast section of Minneapolis is a surprising Mecca for neighborhood taverns, and I was blown away by the quality of the food and service. The burger was cooked to perfection and the fries were crispy and hot, complemented by an icy cold PBR. The bartender was very pleasant and made sure I had everything I needed, while the clientele were entertaining and added to the lively atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and try the double cheeseburger again.“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“Killer joint. Ne classic darts 🎯“

“I have loved Dusty's for many years; and a Dago Works with potato salad is always a winner!“

“Really cool speakeasy bar and awesome cocktails 🍸🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“This place is a must visit! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are top notch. We had Var and Nat as our servers and they were phenomenal. Genuinely have never had better bartenders. They made the night absolutely perfect! We will definitely be visiting again!“

“great service, Tony and Amanda are the best!!“

““Small Hour” is a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of Minneapolis, and I finally had the chance to visit after meaning to stop by for quite some time. That evening felt extra special — my friend was performing music, so it almost felt like an invited night out, and I went with my girlfriend and another close friend.

Unlike many wine bars in the Twin Cities, this one felt much more casual and approachable. You don’t feel the pressure to dress up — it’s the kind of place where you can come to unwind, share a good bottle, and enjoy the moment. We ordered a bottle of rosé wine, which was well-chosen and perfectly chilled. The wine selection overall was thoughtful and balanced, with options for both casual drinkers and those who appreciate something unique.

The food was simple but satisfying, complementing the wines nicely without overcomplicating things. The whole experience felt minimalist and modern, allowing us to focus more on conversation and atmosphere than on pretense. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t try too hard — and that’s exactly what makes it charming.

Here, you order at the counter — it’s self-service, and the staff doesn’t hover over you, which actually gave us the space to talk and relax comfortably. The owner had a warm, genuine smile, and you could tell they care about creating a space that feels both local and intentional.

It wasn’t too crowded when we visited, but the vibe was cozy, stylish, and quietly vibrant — perfect for a low-key evening with friends or a special date night. I wouldn’t call it an everyday stop, but for the right occasion or a meaningful meeting, Small Hour is absolutely worth the visit.

I love seeing more places like this opening in Minneapolis — a modern, minimalist wine bar with heart, soul, and a sense of calm sophistication.“

“One of the top places in Minneapolis!!!“

“This was a nice surprise. We were looking for a spot to grab dinner before a concert and ended up eating and staying for drinks for a couple of hours. The drinks Dave made us were fantastic. The food was very good. Overall a great spot to stop at for food in the area. Between the great conversation with Willie one of the managers, and Dave behind the bar, it was a great experience and I know this will be where I go next time I'm up in Minneapolis.“

“It was a nice place to learn a new craft. Service was excellent and they are helpful. Large selection to choose from. They only have flatbreads to order and I was not impressed. You can order food from nearby but I do wish they had a few other options for purchase.“

“Me and my beautiful daughter have went out clubbing and then came over here to the palace where my son is a bouncer security The drinks the atmosphere then ran into people that we known for over 15 years plus it was just a good vibe it's like the new Gabby's if a lot of people from Minnesota can relate back in the days Gabby's sharks it's it's the new one but for now hey I enjoyed it“

“This place is legit top restaurants in msp, why??? Because they have talent and imagination. Any one can buy great ingredients and high end products, but can you make sidewalk grass , spruce pine , lingcod , wildrice and strawberry taste good ?(Not a real dish just something off top of my head) That's talented and worth talking about , the folks here have talent. And if your looking for adventure of the palette look no further.“

“Fantastic. I already know what I'm having next time!!!“

“Always a good time. They have free tokens on Fridays and $2 slices of pizza that are massive and amazing. Plus, so many pinball machines, ski-ball, and many vintage arcade classics that will bring anyone back to a better time in the world (PacMan, Tetris, etc)“

“Intimate music venue with great acoustics, sound, and atmosphere. Bar has plenty of registers for fast service and great beer! Bathroom was clean too. Only one main door for exiting so that was a little cramped but overall great experience!“

“good band, and good people“

“I’m a local to the area and decided to go to the reveal rooftop to have some birthday drinks, and it was the best decision. The night was great, the atmosphere was great, the drinks and the food were great too. Brian helped to take care of us and he did a fabulous job!“

“Finally, a place respecting the art of a delicious gin beverage! Offering a mesmerizing selection of gins and a creative delivery of flavors and botanicals, Moonwater respects the art of making a great, craft cocktail. I even enjoyed the little touches on the gin menu that showed what glassware the drink would be served in! A great gin menu, friendly staff, and access to Luna and the Bear's food menu make Moonwater the place for an enjoyable night out!“

“To Alex & Melania,

Both of you did a wonderful job making me feel welcomed as a local at Bar Edera, in the midst of transients & visitors.

I really will always appreciate this place as a safe place & a relaxing, easy-going place. I will be back for sure.

Thanks again to Alex, Melania and the crew at Bar Edera. I will see you all again soon for another good time.

The drinks were solid, wait time was short and the clientele as politely elegant.“

“Drove in from out-of-town, needed a beverage or two and something to eat. Great food and just what we needed!“

“It's a wonderful local spot!“

“This is an interesting place. Usually myself and two friends come here to play pool and just chill. Don't tend to order drinks anymore too often as it takes quite a bit of time to get one. Even when it's pretty slow. Maybe they are just tired and ready to go home. We do go there between 11pm-1am. Maybe it's because there is usually some idiot(s) there causing a scene and having to be kicked out. The bartenders are very kind though so I will give them that.“

“Great weekend brunch! Food was delicious (amazing shrimp & grits if you like a bit of “kick”) and service was great. They’ve done a nice job of creating a pleasant atmosphere with a nice vibe. They also have an expansive rooftop bar, dining and hang-out space overlooking Uptown Theatre (too cold for our visit this time).“

“Was a little weird at first.. walked in to a guy named Bob dripping wet with 6 shamwows laying on the floor next to him. Started talking, friendly guy but thinks cheese on burgers is gross. Huge red flag. Also, he got so drunk I had to turn into an Uber for the night to get him home safely. Exceptional place otherwise.“

“yes, yes!!! it's tha spot n it was CRUNK n it was free🤞“

“The point of this place is to get drunk and socialize, and you can absolutely accomplish that here. They've ruined the atmosphere with the stage they added a few years back for bands. I know the intention was good, but bands could fit a smaller footprint without the stage, and it's a single room that absolutely does not need elevation. We played there for years, and having room for people to dance made the experience wonderful. Those days are gone.“

“So glad we checked this out!!! Loved, loved,loved the whole experience!!! ice cold 🍺, fantastic food, and super friendly staff!!! A 💎 in my book!!! check it out!!!“

“As out of towners, we weren’t sure about this place based on outside and location. But wow! The inside is gorgeous, every food item was delicious (we split a buffalo chicken wrap, French dip, tots and cup of soup). Our waitress Jackie was awesome! If we are ever back in town, this will be a must-do! We are so glad we came here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our favorite pre-Target Center event stop! Lindsay is always great!“

“I have been going to this place for 30 years and it's changed in so many ways some for better for worse but it's actually a lot nicer cleaner and taken care of then it used to be some of the security can be a little over the top but all in all is part of the North Minneapolis landscape“

“Food is decent. Service is good. Expensive prices. Always busy before the game. So, you’re better off going during the game when people leave for their seats. Patio seating is awesome since you get to eat and watch the game. I wish there was a time limit to the patio seating since there are other people who want to sit outside when it’s busy too. Anyway, I’ll be back for another visit soon. Win Twins!

P.S. It’s awesome there is Twins awards/stuff around the restaurant! The World Series trophies makes it worth the visit!“

“Babes is the place to be!!!! Awesome staff and an even awesomer owner!!!“
