50 Best Bars near Hopkins

“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.“

“Sick unique concept to get your competition on. Who would have thought chuckin footballs at bowling pins would be so fun? It's a blast! Plus you can get sauced as you toss with a full bar and a wide variety of brews on tap. Mix it up with some ping pong, arcade games, and shooting some pool. They got it all!“

“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!“

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

“Just went here for drinks and small plates and really enjoyed it! I will say it's a lot darker irl than in the photos, so I'd suggest sitting at a booth or at the bar. Those spaces appeared to have more candles n lights. Also, the door is in the back of the building, don't go through Porzana. I had a couple drinks, empanadas, and dessert. Everything was tasty. Yes it's a spendy place, but I feel like you do get what you pay for. Will definitely come back to celebrate some occasion soon.“

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

“Upstairs Circus was an absolute blast for our team outing. We reserved one of the VIP tables and the service/activities did not disappoint! They offered a wide variety of creative and fun crafts for all skill levels. The manager Rojo and craft designer Dia were so friendly, helpful and attentive. Highly recommend if you are looking for a fun night out with a group or just a different outing with friends/date. Thanks for the great experience all!“

“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!“

“They got special deals every day of the week. And they give you some free tokens on your birthday week. 30 to 40 arcade games and 10 pinball machines, a few skee ball Machines. Not expensive at all. Me and my GF had tokens left over after 2 hours. Good time“

“Great food, amazing staff, fun atmosphere!“

““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!!!“

“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.“

“Loved the concert we went to, we had reserved ADA seating which they did provide but they were unwilling to allow us to move the stools to an area in which we could see the show. They had us lined up along side the sound/stage management area so it was difficult to see. Concert was 5/5 stars, venue 4/5 just because we felt it could have been a little more accommodating.“

“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!“

“It's a wonderful local spot!“

“good band, and good people“

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

“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“

“Was here for a private birthday party, and the venue was so cute. The bartender was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The selection of gin was 10/10. The food was delicious. Highly recommend stopping by Moonwater. The Gin and Jam (peach habanero) was 5 stars. And the wallpaper was adorable had to add that in :)“

“Killer joint. Ne classic darts 🎯“

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

“Really great local spot I love, it's a bit more low key than Babe's next door so it's a good place to escape to where it's usually not too busy. Usual bar food like pizzas and chips, nothing too special there, but the people here make it special. I love all the bartenders here, and they host a great karaoke night on Thursdays and now trivia on Saturdays. Prices are also pretty decent with most drinks being $5-$10.“

“I’ve been to many tiki bars in 24 different states. This is top three experiences. Jasmine and Damian were such great bartenders. They provided such a great experience. I will definitely be back when I come back to Minneapolis. I loved it here“

“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.“

“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.“

“★★★★★
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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food. Can’t go wrong with pizza. Service in the bar area not the fastest, but wasn’t in a huge hurry.“

“Great corner neighborhood bar. Always been a good time. Well made drinks. So no issues there for me. It can get pretty packed as it's a popular place to go and has been for decades. It's one of the best bars you can go to in North Minneapolis.“

“JJ’s is a staple of Golden Valley. It is by far the best place to watch any sporting event because they have TVs everywhere. This a NEIGHBORHOOD joint. The prices are neighborhood prices, not city prices. The staff is friendly. Great bartenders. Well priced drinks. Trivia Tuesdays. Bingo Saturdays.“

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

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

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“

“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!“
