19 Best Dive Bars in Minneapolis

“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!“

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

“If you have accessibility issues this place is absolutely amazing in accommodating you. I called ahead of the show and they said "don't even worry" but the lack of detail had me worried. But as soon as we arrived a staff member got us checked in without having to wait in line and showed us to where we could sit, even rousing a couple people out of their seats so we could have them. Our view of the stage was great and we had a perfect evening! Amazing compassion and help from the staff.“

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

“Known for their “Jucy Lucy” which are 2 Patties with cheese cooked inside. My family that lives here likes the Jucy Lucy and especially the fries from here. During the summer they say there are long lines out the door. We can here in December and it was pretty busy for a week night. They only accept cash or checks, no card. We were lucky and got seated quickly, service was also quick and I asked for a beer that goes well with it. My sister in law got a chicken sandwich and I put her lettuce in my Jucy Lucy. Beware to not bite into it quickly because the cheese squirts out. Every bite I took the cheese indeed came out and burned me. Their fries are really good. I opted to keep the pickles and onions in the burger which I enjoyed. It was nice inside and they still had Christmas decorations making it feel like a Christmas bar. There’s some street parking outside“

“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.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“Wonderful staff. Great vibes“

“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.“

“Consistently an amazing breakfast.
It's a dive bar themselves will be with ya when they get there.
It's no bad service it's just not your turn to be served yet.
Be nice dork!
?
Just had steak eggs mush onions hash browns holendaze and 3 maybe 4 vodka grapefruit and I tipped over 20% out the door for 30$
That's unheard of in a big city.
It's a gem.“

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

“One of my favorite neighborhood stops. If you are not local and or do not plan on having dinner with me please steer clear! Frenchmans is a local gem with amazing prices and unbelievably consistent service paired with food you will find yourself craving again and again. If your server has an attitude it is your fault, if you have an attitude you can catch a bubble 🫧. Thank you Frenchamans, see you soon!“

“Great Karaoke great crowd great energy“

“Killer joint. Ne classic darts 🎯“
