37 Best Bar & Grill in Minneapolis

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!“

“Love this spot. Great owners. Great feel. Good food. One of my favs.“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“Great service, friendly staff, fun environment ! Definitely recommend as a place to go to get a bite have a couple drinks and have fun playing pool and darts with friends and family :-)“

“For an original North Loop neighborhood feel, Cuzzy’s is a MUST visit. For everyone in town this weekend, it’s part of the true Minneapolis experience. Great staff and awesome food!“

“I love whiteys and the bartender Jazzy is one of my favorite bartenders when I come back home and visit. Being in the industry I love visiting her.“

“Best dive bar around you won’t regret it“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

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

“Wonderful staff. Great vibes“

“They donated Chicken Wings to a homeless shelter and the people living near this place should support them all the way. Just think how good the wings are when they are made by people who care! If you want to go out go tie Spring Street!“

“Prompt service and great quality and tasty food !“

“Our Bar Tender Becky was the best...“

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“The service here is fast and courteous! I recommend you give them a try!“

“I’ve been there and think it’s pretty freaking good pub burger is the bomb beer cold and clean glasses. Nothing better that a great burger and beer in joint D,D&D’s are spot on. Thanks Guy F.“

“Recommend them. Just like the UK justice system only recognize two genders. A++“

“Nice place to hang out, and the beer mac and cheese is good, very filling; tatertots are *crispy*, would absolutely recommend. The person who cooked it up for me in the kitchen was *very* enthusiastic and friendly! The bartenders were pretty quiet for my taste but very attentive. Not my top bar, but would be *very happy* to stop by here again. Good THC drink selection.“

“Went on a Wednesday evening after happy hour ended and the place was pretty open luckily. Seated and served a group of eight people well especially as most people only got drinks. Can’t attest the rest of their food but I tried the walleye BLT and it was shockingly pretty good. Definitely wasn’t expecting bar to serve such good food but would definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area. I do hear this place gets pretty packed when there’s events at the theater next door so keep that in mind.“

“We stopped at Manning's on 12/19/23 and ordered their burger & fries. The food was soooo good and the service was excellent! We will be back!!!“

“Absolutely love the Bulldog Downtown & LowerTown!!! Best burgers & Phillies ever!! So glad to be back!!!“

“Lovely little spot to hang out. Beautiful inside and the staff is friendly. They also have a little patio area in the alley. The space as a whole was clean.
I tried the guava cooler mocktail and it was delicious.
Great space for music too. The stage and sound system are set up really great.“

“Best food I’ve had. Byron who waited/bartender for us is GOAT. Thank you!!!!“

“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.“

“A friend and I visiting from out of town stopped by here for a couple of drinks outside. It’s unapologetically a neighborhood dive bar that looks to have been there for maybe 100 years. The outdoor patio has about 10 tables, next to the parking lot. Our waitress and bartenders were super friendly and nice. They are famous for the “Original” roast beef sandwich. So we ordered it. I wouldn’t order again. It was fine, but basically a massive pile of meat on a bun. Maybe it’s famous for how big it is.“

“Excellent community service.“

“The fact you can stop in here on a Sunday and get 10 jumbo wings for 5 bucks is actually an insane deal. It might just be a Sunday thing but they also had half off apps while we were there too. The wings were perfectly cooked, moist and the BBQ ones were delicious. Our waitress was also super nice so we left her a nice tip. It wasn't very busy while we were there which is probably because it's a holiday weekend. However, I could see this place getting super busy with the kind of deals they are offering.“

“Very lovely restaurant. Good prices and awesome drinks, staff is awesome!“

“Stopped in at the world famous Stub n Herbs for lunch with my brother. No wait on a Friday afternoon for a table at lunch. Nicole our bartender did a great job and she makes a good ol fashioned. Cool college bar with pool table and dart boards. Good mushroom Swiss burger and good sweet potatoe fries“

“Awesome and very friendly staff“

“Great place, great people, and amazing drinks . Stopped in after a Timberwolves game and was impressed“

“I explained to the host that I had a morning business meeting over breakfast, and she sat us in a nice quiet corner of the restaurant, which was perfect. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Afterwards, as I was leaving, the host caught me and asked how my meeting went - I really appreciated her attentiveness!“

“Great place!! Lots of fun!!“

“great vibes and service!!!“

“Blarney Pub & Grill is a lively Irish-themed bar located in Dinkytown near the University of Minnesota, making it a popular spot for students and anyone looking for a fun, casual atmosphere. The menu features classic pub fare like wings, burgers, fish and chips, and Irish nachos, along with a solid drink selection. The Blarney Burger and appetizer sampler are customer favorites, and happy hour deals on drinks and starters add great value

Why not five stars? Reviews mention occasional slow service and inconsistent food quality, with some dishes feeling underwhelming. The bathrooms could use better upkeep, and the atmosphere can get very loud and crowded during peak hours

verall, Blarney Pub & Grill is a great choice for affordable drinks, hearty pub food, and a lively social scene. If you’re in Dinkytown and want a classic college bar experience with Irish flair, this spot delivers.“

“Moose Bar & Grill in Northeast Minneapolis has quickly become one of my favorite bars in Minneapolis, thanks to our waiter, Alaina (I’m not sure if that’s how her name is spelled). From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely excited to make sure we had a great experience. She knew the menu inside and out, offered spot-on recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without ever hovering. Drinks arrived quickly, food was hot, and every request was handled with a smile. Alaina somehow balanced efficiency with real personality, making us feel like regulars on our very first visit. When the place got busy, she stayed calm, organized, and upbeat, which made the whole night run smoothly. It’s clear she takes pride in her work and cares about customers in a way you don’t see often. Management should know that Alaina is a standout employee who elevates the entire restaurant. Give her a raise, because she’s exactly the kind of server that keeps people coming back again and again on every visit without exception.“

“First time there this weekend. Highly recommend. Great food. The best part was the waiter who serviced our table. It was so refreshing to have a person waiting on our table with patience, a sense of humor and a concern about how we were enjoying our meals. Dominic made the experience 100 percent better than what it may have been. Our group can not thank you enough Dominic to adding to an amazing time.“
