Convenient location to The Armory. Stopped in before a concert. Their website boasts getting the party started before US Bank and Armory events. Saw a nice list of beer on tap. Walked in a little after they opened and was surprised to find many employees getting things situated- mopping floors, placing tables/chairs- things that one would think would have been done before opening. Drink menu was presented and we tried to order a certain beer on tap but then we were told there is only 1 tap beer available (and not the dozen on the menu/wall of tappers)- with no explanation why. We asked- server shrugged he shoulders.
Mojito was excellent tho!! Saw a few people ordering so we ordered one. Fantastic!

Has a chance to be nice with the location and patio, however service was very slow and inattentive. Had to ask for water multiple times, food took forever and all that was ordered was a hotdog and quesadilla—and those were poorly prepared. The toppings that were described to be on the hotdog were not present and the fries were definitely the frozen kind from Costco. Cooks didn’t even put in the effort to add salt. The quesadilla was flavorless and half empty. Don’t come here for food or if you’d like decent service

Great food, drinks, service and music!

The service was lame, food wasn't what we ordered, and I think the owner had their sports car parked in the bike lane out front the entire time we were there. Seems like they just want to throw parties, they should just stick to that and stop trying to serve food.

Worst service when there was service. Food was good, but well over an hour later when hardly anyone was seated. Chicken sandwich was two tenders, though. A few tables left before food so every table had issues. Atmosphere was half good. Nice wood all around. Furniture against walls looked fine. Middle was full of plastic tables. Given plastic utensils. Weird mix of nice looking and bad banquet room.

Place has a cool vibe but the food is AWUFUL. Fr just get drinks. The chicken tastes like it’s been left over in the fridge for at least a day, that left over chicken taste ? no way was that raw and then cooked today that sat back there for a while. The house made barría is under seasoned like to the point of the consume being understalted brown water. Terrible. An insult to Minneapolis. Seriously if they care about the people they’ll stop serving food. If u just want a drink after a show come here but don’t come before they wait is long and good god if u get food… I warned u. The bar tender was extremely nice tho and she returned the food that didn’t come out and gave us a free drink for the trouble.

Edit: my boyfriend got food poisoning, seriously don’t eat here

Everyone working was so sweet after unexpectedly being hit with a wave of us concert goers on a Sunday night! Bartenders/servers were very friendly and worked quick with such a rush of people. Shout-out to the amazing staff Sunday, 9/29! ❤️❤️❤️
