Great place to see live music, only problem was the price changes with our waitress, beer was a different price at the bar 🤷🏾‍♂️, We saw Chase & Ovation an they brought the house down. Amazing show.

Fun place to listen to live music! Your eating options are a Burger or a Cheeseburger! Hardworking bartenders! Bunkers is always a good time! Been coming here for decades. No really. 😁

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We enjoyed live music at Bunkers Music Bar & Grill for some after-hours fun. The atmosphere was lively and great for unwinding with friends. While the service can be a bit slow at times—probably because they only have two servers—it’s understandable and didn’t ruin our night. Overall, a fun spot to catch some good live music and enjoy the vibe. Looking forward to visiting again!

Live music every night?! Sign me up! Bunker’s is a Minneapolis gem — I was a regular here for over 15 years before moving out of state, and it’s still one of the first places I come back to whenever I’m in town. The energy is unmatched, the bands are incredible, and the atmosphere always feels like home.

Prince himself used to jump up on stage here (and once even stole my table!) to jam with local artists — many of whom trained with him and still carry that legacy forward. Some of my absolute favorites: International Reggae All Stars on Tuesday nights, Dr. Mambo’s Combo every Sunday, and the rotating weekend acts like The Good, The Bad, and The Funky (GBF) and Alex Rossi.

Keep an eye out for their special tribute nights — they’re a local favorite, but plan ahead because they sell out fast and it’ll be standing room only.

Bunker’s is authentic Minneapolis: legendary music, a lively crowd, and a place where unforgettable nights happen again and again.

Music started at 9:30 on a Tuesday. I dined a few blocks away at the delightful
Cafe Yoto. Greeted by charming Host, paid a Bargain Cover and Danced to Irie International Reggae All Stars like it was 1999! Bartender quickly helped with my Choice of Soda Pop, extra Lime or Lemon- The Lively Crowd filled the Dance Floor- I think I heard a Gentleman's Proposal last week! Here's to another 30 years of Live Music from Keyboards,Horns, Guitar, Drums, Bass, and Vocals Bravo!!!

Bunker’s is exactly what you’d hope for in a music bar and grill — great live music, a lively atmosphere, and a dance floor that was packed because the band was that good. There’s a bar for ordering drinks, but they also have waitresses who come right to your table to take drink orders. Our waitress was amazing — incredibly attentive, somehow tracking us down in the middle of the crowded tables, dance floor, and all the chaos. She deserves a raise for sure!

There’s a cash-only cover at the door, so bring cash and your ID. All in all, a fantastic spot for a night out with great tunes, good vibes, and plenty of energy.

Bartenders chitchatting while customers waiting for drinks. Sat for about 10 minutes until they came around.
I asked for food menu and I was told all they have is burgers.
I got blue moon which came with no
Orange. First time ever. Blue moon with no
Orange. Beer $12 not worth it. Never going back.
