21 Best Dive Bars in Minneapolis

“Wonderful staff. Great vibes“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Killer joint. Ne classic darts 🎯“

“Me and my beautiful daughter have went out clubbing and then came over here to the palace where my son is a bouncer security The drinks the atmosphere then ran into people that we known for over 15 years plus it was just a good vibe it's like the new Gabby's if a lot of people from Minnesota can relate back in the days Gabby's sharks it's it's the new one but for now hey I enjoyed it“

“Great atmosphere if you’re looking to just chill.“

“Best cheese curds ever!!! Why bother with state fair?“

“I finally made it to Matt’s bar to check out the “Original” Jucy Lucy. Hamburger was great, as expected. Fries were shoestring and were perfect and delicious. Service was great. I went on a Monday afternoon and we sat down right away and were eating in about 20 minutes.

This really is more of a restaurant now. Because of the food, there is a LOT of turnover and it’s mostly food tourists. Even on a Monday. IDK if the kitchen closes, but maybe it turns more into a bar after that. The signs posted everywhere basically say “Others are waiting to be seated”. While there wasn’t a line when we were there, I’m sure there is when it’s weekend busy.

Good prices. They could be charging much more based on demand.

Lastly, cash only. There is an ATM on site with a $2 charge if you forget.

Great food served fast and great service. Thanks!“

“I was actually at a place next door called The Joint to see some comedy, and the vibe I got was if the bar from the movie Roadhouse came to Minneapolis and had comedy. There was no stage and it no one was paying attention. But the comedians were awesome and the drinkers were fun and cool. Even if I
were to have gotten stabbed I would come back.“

“Part of the Centro restaurant group. Everything is great except the parking situation. During peak hours, its near impossible to find parking near the area.

Food was great, its the same QR code ordering as the other restaurants. The Bina burger was almost like a Juicy Lucy without the mess. Chips were great. Deviled eggs were good.

Drink options are limited and the menu is kinda overpriced, but that hasn't disuaded anyone from coming.

There are bar games and the whole place has a speakeasy vibe.“

“The Northeast section of Minneapolis is a surprising Mecca for neighborhood taverns, and I was blown away by the quality of the food and service. The burger was cooked to perfection and the fries were crispy and hot, complemented by an icy cold PBR. The bartender was very pleasant and made sure I had everything I needed, while the clientele were entertaining and added to the lively atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and try the double cheeseburger again.“

“Sometimes it’s nice to go to a place where people know your name“

“BEEN RIDING DESTINATION FOR OVER 40 YRS NO DORKS!“

“Best hidden secret in NE. Friendly staff and a nice little patio. Bring cash because they won't swipe credit cards“

“Great Karaoke great crowd great energy“

“I have been going to this place for 30 years and it's changed in so many ways some for better for worse but it's actually a lot nicer cleaner and taken care of then it used to be some of the security can be a little over the top but all in all is part of the North Minneapolis landscape“

“Burgers are great, just well executed old school bar food. Staff can be spread thin but usually it's not their fault and they're always friendly. Tried their fish and chips for the first time and was pleasantly surprised, crispy fish and great tartar. Over all it's what you would expect out of your local minnesota dive bar.“

“Best Karaoke Bar in Minnesota.“

“Normally this rating would be a 4, but because of one live performance here, it’s gonna be a 5. I recommend coming if a band by the name of Sea Foam Green Tangerine is performing. Completely made my night last time I went, and I plan on going next time they perform. Larry isn’t all bad like some reviews claim, he was a pretty chill guy during my experience.“

“I had a fun time at NE Moose Bar & Grill! The comedy downstairs was a highlight, making for a lively evening. The atmosphere is bustling with a lot going on, perfect for a night out. I highly recommend coming during happy hour for the best deals in Minneapolis. If you're looking for a great sports bar experience with entertainment like karaoke and bingo, this is the place to be!“
