“Best meatball sub and best fries ever. A legion serving old' timey food? Surprising. Legions & VFW in Minnesota? Anyone gets in. No membership needed. Best meatball sub I have ever had. Fries as good as Lion's Tap. Atmosphere 4/5 service 5/5 food 5/5 (almost 6/5). Will be our place. Sorry Mound Legion.“

“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.“

“Chicken wings and the taco dip was awesome.“

“Great business that cares about our future, city, and ALL of the people of Minnesota! Viva NightingaleMPLS!“

“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!“

“Lots of fun. Great place to hang out.“

“Immaculate machines, and great food. Drink prices are pretty reasonable too“

“Cool place! 🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“Dusty’s is a NE MPLS treasure. Live music & DJs + cheap drinks!“

“always wonderful perfect thin crispy crust perfect ratio of toppings today we had the El Camino - excellent but the spicy arbol chili red sauce was too hot for us we should have asked for mild or just pico de Gallo. our son will enjoy it“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“Chill vibe, great drinks, cozy atmosphere“

“Fantastic Food, great music and the wildest bunch of neighborhood regulars.“

“Classic Nordeast bar…not many left“

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“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.“

“Crispy wings, pizza and Bar burgers so no medium well but comes out hot so not bad at all! Smaller place but has a pool table. We like this place because its quieter. To eat and have a couple beers is maybe 50$ FOR 2. The bartenders are observant and take good care of you!“

“This is a great casual place to grab a drink…..or have some really great food.…or take a gab with your friends (or strangers)… they do have a beautiful community table!“

“I threw a large surprise birthday party for my partner here and it was awesome. The atmosphere, food, and drinks were great and it was kid very kid friendly. Our 11 year old boys had a great time with their friends which allowed the adults to also engage. When kids are happy- so are their parents! We can't wait to go back again.“

“Killer joint. Ne classic darts 🎯“

“Had a wonderful time. Dia and Roha were great and made me feel very comfortable with no question too silly. The projects were very diverse, and the whole environment was comfortable and conducive to being creative. Definitely an experience I'll do again.“

“Sam and Sarina have created an extraordinary space. Although they would like to be classified as a wine bar, their unique food selections definitely are not taking a back seat. I have collected wine most of my adult life and I will tell you, their list is one of the most well-curated in the state.
The front of house operation is precise, personal and attentive, keys to driving return clients. Don’t sleep on their event calendar either, wine education, guess DJs, etc.“

“Flora Room is a gorgeous cocktail bar located behind and beneath Chef Del Prado's steakhouse Porzana. Fortunately, I arrived at 5:30 PM on a Saturday, which was early enough to avoid a line and a velvet rope. I don't wait in line for anything unless I'm at a pharmacy, bakery, post office, or airport. Lines at restaurants and bars strike me as pretentious or bad management, and I don't tolerate either. However, I'm old, and at my age, nothing is worth waiting for unless it's a necessity.

I found a seat at the beautiful and expansive bar and looked around at the Del Prado design. The colors might be different, but Flora was reminiscent of Minari and Noma. All three add to the Twin Cities' cachet. However, I was taken aback by the attire I saw around me. People were dressed in shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers. It's friggen Saturday night Minneapolis. Have some class!

Flora Room was a lovely cocktail lounge, perfect for wooing, but don't expect to strike up a conversation with any of the bartenders. At these Del Prado joints, the staff must be trained not to engage. I'm out alone and enjoy talking. Bartenders used to be part of a lounge's attraction when I grew up in NYC. They learned your name, knew what you did, and gave you a hearty welcome. That, I guess, is not part of the culture in Minneapolis. Well, at least not at the Del Prado restaurants and bars. Chef Del Prado is from Argentina, and certainly, Argentina is one of the warmest and friendliest countries in the world, so I don't get it. I now live up the block from the Flora Room. I'm a neighbor and would like to be treated like one. Neighborly and the Flora Room are distant concepts.“

“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!“

“If you're a dive bar fan like me, you'll love this place. It's not a hipster, try-hard dive bar. It's an actual historic bar that has an endearing charm. I contemplated not leaving this review, in order to keep it my own little secret, but couldn't help myself. Highly recommend.“

“This place was so cute! The food was good as well, got some pizza and played some games. There was a couple leaks that were messy to be around, but not the worst deal. Most of the games still worked and getting coins was easy. The bartender was very quick to get our drinks and they weren’t bad either! Perfect strength for the price. Would definitely come here again if I was in this state or here regularly“

“Great food. big beers. sports. what's not to love. they even got the ring on a string in the back!“

“We always have such a great experience at Red Cow! The food is consistently amazing, and the service is just as wonderful. Everyone makes us feel so welcome, and it’s one of those places we’re always happy to come back to. ❤🍔“

“Fun vibes, great staff and wonderful drinks!“

“Great food, amazing staff, fun atmosphere!“

“Absolutely loved this place!! The speakeasy vibe was incredible —from the out of the way entrance to the moody, intimate yet inviting vibe! The staff were friendly and attentive even with a packed house. The food and desserts were amazing, and I really appreciated the variety of non-alcoholic options. The burlesque show was fantastic too — fun, classy, entertaining, sexy and fit the atmosphere perfectly. Volstead's Emporium is one of those places that feels like an experience, not just a night out! Can’t wait to go back!“

“good band, and good people“

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

“So excited to make this a regular date night spot. Our group really enjoyed all the food we order including the fideos, tinta negra, almendrado, pincho de pollo, pescado, and so much more. Chris our server was wonderful. The Victoria beer and my mango margarita were perfect. My only critique if at all of the restaurant is for the pasta dishes to have a hair less salt (and I like my food on the saltier side so that says a lot). We can’t believe we waited this long to try it but we can’t wait to go back“

“A major reason I keep coming back is my favorite regular, Bob. Bob has that legendary bar-regular quality where you’re never quite sure whether you’re about to hear a brilliant life lesson or a story that gets more unbelievable with every telling. And then there’s 9 Toe Nick—a true Arnie’s institution and a man who brings enough personality to the room to make sure nobody forgets where they are.

Bob loves to spin up Echoes by Pink Floyd. Plays it nearly every time we go out :)“

“Great venue! Had free water which NEVER happens at venues. Good sound and service. Will be back for sure! 5/5 stars!“

“Always enjoy coming to this neighborhood spot to enjoy fantastic food and drinks and relax“

“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.“

“awesome food, service and atmosphere. thanks for making our lunch awesome Sara.“

“The event staff was very friendly and efficient both inside and outside the venue. The show I was at was sold out, but there was still enough space to walk around, grab a drink, and talk with friends between sets. Also, the bar had FREE water's which is super nice!“

“The Parkway Theatre is excellent!“

“I’ve never taken the time to write a review before, but Samuel’s top-notch service merits it. He made sure that my martini was made exactly as I preferred, and even taught me a thing or two so I can reiterate those preferences when I go to bars back home. His personable demeanor facilitated an extremely welcoming environment where the bar’s patrons were comfortable, conversational, and unhurried. And yes, the martini was one of the best I’ve had in recent memory, both in the state of Minnesota and beyond. Cheers to Samuel and the rest of the fantastic team at Bar Edera.“

“The service was exceptional and the food was fantastic. I started with the green curry octopus which was a really excellent balance of flavors and textures. The mango salmon was cooked beautifully and paired nicely with the rice and delicious sauce. It was a meal rich with flavor but not heavy.“

“We’re huge fans of Gin and this place did not disappoint! We had the Fitzgerald and Sturgeon Moon. They both had a great depth of flavor while still being light and refreshing. The bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful and provided good guidance in helping us pick the right drink. We also both got Gin and Jams. That’s a pure choose your own adventure situation.

Food was absolutely phenomenal. We both got burgers (Luna & Pear Jam) and the patties were extremely well seasoned. The additional toppings created a nice flavor profile that separated these from your typical burger! The house fries are better than the upgrade options.

We loved it and definitely will be back!“

“Tullibee restaurant has amazing food, an excellent beverage selection and k owned gravel and attentive service!“

“Damien was our bartender! We came to visit from Wisconsin and we had the best experience so far here. We are huge on customer service, Damien executed great cocktails and had conversations with us and we enjoyed it lots what a beautiful place!“

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

“★★★★★
I had a fantastic experience at Truth Bar! The atmosphere was stylish and energetic, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were excellent. It’s a perfect spot to relax, socialize, and enjoy a great night out. The overall vibe is lively and welcoming. I highly recommend Truth Bar to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience!“
