The Cabooze Dive Bar • $

“Giving this review 4 stars because i love the venue and i allways have an amazing time exept for one of the bartenders

Last night I attended Tunes for Tots and she was in a red shirt with glitter on her face and was drinking on the job with an extremely rude and hostile attitude. Last night there were numerous people being respectful and trying to have a good night and she was extremely rude. This wasn't just last night because she was bartending all summer at Taco Tuesday while doing all the same things but one of the most notable intances is when it was over 70° and there is a city ordinance that states you are not allowed to charge for water when it is that hot out in Minneapolis and she was charging for water (up until that point water was allways free there) a d when she was confronted on this she became very hostile. There is many more stories through the community about this bartender from many different people. I love the cabooze and it is one of my favorite venues and it is sad to see bad energy like this ruin the experience.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
