“Great spot! Casual. Yummy food. Lots of parking. Pricey, as are all places now. Went with a friend. We had 5 drinks between us, two of which were on tap, two appetizers, and one burger. $100. That's the bad news. The good news is that our server (Sally?) Was great. Food was delicious. We had a comfortable booth and we're able to talk privately enough. It is a little loud, fyi. Several tvs.“

“One of my favorite neighborhood stops. If you are not local and or do not plan on having dinner with me please steer clear! Frenchmans is a local gem with amazing prices and unbelievably consistent service paired with food you will find yourself craving again and again. If your server has an attitude it is your fault, if you have an attitude you can catch a bubble 🫧. Thank you Frenchamans, see you soon!“

“Today, they had a Bloody Mary with special toppings. My fav! It’s not a regular thing but they have different things going on so it’s nice to stop by and check it out. They have the wheel and pull tabs. Ohhh…darts too. It’s a cash only bar so make sure you bring cash. Love the bartender, Rachel.“

“I love this place! I had excellent service and was treated so well by the staff- especially Sarah and Maddie. The food is great. Drinks are always good but it’s the service and the people that really make this place nice to come to. Sarah always goes out of her way to make sure my daughter and I are happy. Maddie is the best server I’ve ever had!
Keep up the great work, ladies!“

“Due to unfortunate circumstances (father had a stroke) I found myself downtown dropped off with no car and I was starving! Being so close to the hospital/hotel was great, and the food was amazing! I had a Ruben with fries.. everything was piping hot. The service was excellent. It gave me time to sit and admire the atmosphere. Just what I needed to recharge.“

“Great Live Music @ Mikkel Bee Presents👍🥳🥳“

“Cute place near First Ave and Target Center for a drink. Food is decent, if a little pricey, but that's Downtown Minneapolis for you. I really love the decor here though. As someone with some Scottish heritage, I'd definitely say it reps that aspect well.“

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“Stopped in for a cocktail after eating at Russell's they are connected..just a few steps thru the kitchen 😄. My 2nd time there. Super nice Employees! I had a body chill. besides a hot toddy what was there, all we came up with was a warm brandy. She was creative and rolled the glass of brandy in extremely hot water to warm it. Being a great pour it cooled off, she asked to re-warm it..she was looking out for me❣A++“

“It’s super fun totally go“

“The Acadia on West Bank is finally OPEN AGAIN!The menu consist of only burgers and a chicken sandwich for entrees but some tasty apps. They are not open for lunch at this time which is a bummer as the menu is perfect for a quick lunch. The lighting always seems a bit too bright and the music can be excruciating in regards to the volume.It's under new ownership or management but my hopes are they prosper and maintain a much needed "local" space with.“

“This place is great even if everyone don't no my name I'm ok with that drinks are great ...

Parking: It's street parking right now where getting the train put in so construction has been making parking harder otherwise walking great 2 blocks from home.“

“quiet Sunday afternoon, places was pretty empty.
expected standard pub fare, and were surprised to find really good brats and hot dogs. ordered a beet salad and all was fresh and flavorful. will keep it in mind for future forays into that area.“

“Had a quick dinner tonight with the kid. Service was amazing (Lex) food came out fast and hot. Had the birria grilled cheese with the L13 tots (fabulous btw) and the smashed potato bowl. Will definitely be back!“

“We just by chance Googled this place and thought we'd give it a try. Wow! Totally surprised at how good the food was and the portions. Chloe was our server and what a sweet girl she is. Smiling and very polite. Give this place a try it's worth it.“

“Very pleasant great burgers“

“Great food and speedy friendly service!“

“Great service and food, love this place!“

“I ordered the salad, side of fries and burrata with tomatoes appetizer. Fries were great, though cooled off quickly. Salad was fresh but for such a basic side salad, not at all worth it. The burrata was generous in the cheese serving. Just a small number of tomatoes and enough bread to get through half the cheese. Not necessarily a bad thing to be generous on cheese, but I'd plan to order extra bread (I ordered a side of pita). A very filling dinner.Service was great, as was the atmosphere.I ate here as I was staying here. Great option in that case, but wouldn't visit just for the food.“

“Our favorite pub in Como Park to enjoy a delicious cheeseburger with fries, cheese curds and the coldest beer in Saint Paul. Beautiful view of the golf course and Como Lake. Patio seating or indoor tables. You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy this!“

“Stopped at Pat's Tap for the "Pat's Bacon Burger" and, i lie to you not, it's the best burger I've ever eaten. You know that episode of "How I Met Your Mother" where Marshall drags the crew around to find the best burger in New York? That's this burger. Nothing crazy; lettuce, tomato, aioli, avacado and bacon cooked INTO the patty all on a lightly toasted bun. Anyways, 10/10. Hats off to my chef.“

“Love to go to Crooked Pint with my friends to watch the Vikings games. They are very friendly and we always have Kayla, great waitress, waiting on us. Love the door prizes too.“

“Terrific place. I just moved into this neighborhood a month ago and I've already been here maybe a half dozen times. Love the atmosphere and the people not to mention the amazing burgers and chicken wings. Everything I want in a neighborhood joint and more. I'll be back again for sure.“

“Bar feel but clean inside. The server was great even though he had the whole restaurant by himself. The food came out quickly and it was very good. We got a std cheese burger with homemade fries (the highlight), Mount Blucuvious Blucy, Cobb Salad and Hella Totchos. Would definitely go back.“

“Sweeney's was fantastic for hosting our large event. Their Oak Room space was perfect for a group of 120ish people, event staff were extremely helpful in setting up food, drinks, and fun for our guests and took great care of us the night of. Highly recommend as both a neighborhood bar, and as a place to host an event of any size.“

“We had lunch on Saturday at the bar and Tyler’s service and overall attentiveness was outstanding! The food and drinks, I had a flight, were very good. Great experience our first time there.“

“Pretty standard fare. Decent curds and nice burger. Felt a little too low rent for the prices like you are surprised to pay what you do. I get that the area of higher and they have to charge more but you’d want a better quality for that. Not saying it is bad at all. Just could be better.“

“We went for the Lynx tailgate party and it was a lot of fun but more so the food and service were some of the best we’ve ever had (and we go out a lot in a bunch of major cities).“

“Maybe another startup with great coffee ! 🙂😊“

“Great drinks and food, really cool building!

Only complaint is service was a bit slow, there was clearly only one server working at the time and she was running around like crazy dealing with every table while the 2 or 3 bartenders were standing on their phones lol. Maybe have less bartenders and more servers to balance out the workload.

That being said, our server (light blonde haired girl, I can’t remember her name?) was fantastic!!! Super kind, funny and helpful. Next time we’re in the area, we’ll be coming back for those nachos & long islands!“
