38 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.“

“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.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“Never had a bad burger here. Went in yesterday, St Patrick’s day and it was so busy. We got our food to go, it was quick and service was great. Love this spot.“

“Prompt service and great quality and tasty food !“

“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.“

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

“Excellent breakfast and service“

“The Bulldog is a pretty standard place, warm beer, stiff drinks, but the reason I'm giving it a five star review is because of our server Hannah. She was AWESOME! She was also friendly, attentive and accommodating. We would go back to the Bulldog just because of her. Thank you Hannah for bringing some joy to our hang!“

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

“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!!!“

“Kinda silly but they have my favorite house salad in the city. It’s a large enough portion to be a meal on its own, they use really good greens (no shitty iceberg!), and their ranch is the best. Only downside is they don’t give you quite enough ranch and even when I order extra (and probably pay extra) they don’t always put an extra cup of it in.“

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

“I got into Minneapolis at 1130am, and wanted to get a bite to eat. Almost all of the eating establishments in the area were closed, except this place. Good food, good beer, great atmosphere, and great music. You can tell that this is a 'locals favorite'. Put this place on your list, as a good place to chill.“

“I had a delicious smash burger here! The tatertots were also very good. The ordering process is very easy as you find your own table and start a tab using a QR code and credit card. It was very empty when I went but the staff seemed quite busy. I think the vibe was nice but I'm sure it's more fun when it's full.“

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

“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.“

“This place has character! One of the chefs, Nate, let me try a new creation of his. I’m not sure if it’s going to become a menu item but it was the best burger I’ve had in a while. The house kettle chips were so thin and crispy, also the best I’ve had possibly ever. I’m not a fan of buffalo or blue cheese typically, but I trusted his taste with this burger and boy I’m glad I did. 10/10! Everything went together so well. It’s not on the menu but I hope it will be soon. He called it the “Beefalo” I’ll be back for it soon!“

“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.“

“Awesome and very friendly staff“

“Excellent community service.“

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

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

“Every time I have been in, no matter the rush, the servers have taken care of me and my group. I will always alway shout out their sweet potato fries, their fries, wings, and tatchos. Connor the bartender has been by far the kindest most attentive, fun bar tender. I’d honestly come back just for Connor! Fun fun fun and close to campus an absolute classics.“

“great vibes and service!!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Okay. We were trying to go somewhere else & ended up here. We said okay well it's meant to be let's give it a shot. We both ordered from the breakfast menu, he got the moose burrito & I got a northeaster skillet eggs on the side. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Great service! Delicious bloody mary. It is going to be on our regular lineup now! 🙌“

“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.“
