“Love when I walk into a restaurant and I can see and smell the history! What a charming little neighborhood spot. Was so pleasantly surprised to see that they have a separate room with pool tables and a few different games. Thank you tooties for not renovating your restaurant to look like every other modern restaurant in the US. Keep the charm, keep the old, keep the nostalgia!“
“Jimmy's is the epitome of a neighborhood bar. Food is available, but it's certainly a drinking establishment. Bartenders who know their stuff and talk to both regulars and newbies on their downtime. Order their famous cocktail: the Bullfrog!“
“A couple of friends and I enjoyed a few drinks last Friday. The bartenders, Joe and Charlie, were more than accommodating and made all of us newcomers feel very welcome. Although it’s cash only, the prices are very fair and we look forward to going back. Thank you!“
“This is a hidden gem brunch spot. On Saturdays and Sundays between 10am to 3pm you can get a pretty good meal for around $15 and comes with a free drink. The indoor bar area is small and divey (which I personally love), so indoor seating is limited but they have a great (and large) outdoor patio area which is shared with the Cabooze next door. There is occasionally live music outside, as well.“
“Palmers Bar consistently manifests that rare mix of high-end, quality ingredients, creative mixology, attentive, knowledgeable wait staff and quietly-upscale atmosphere. All these elements work together seamlessly to ensure each Palmers patron's experience is an understated, singular joy.Vegetarian options: Panko-encrusted yam brisketKid-friendliness: The ball pit was hygenic and fun!!“
“Awesome door guy, who just got a pug. Chill vibe, other patrons were friendly, They have pull tabs and e tabs, makes it easy to be a charitable person. At least that's what I tell myself when I don't win. Hahaha. I give 4 stars on service, because the place was not busy and we had to wait for drinks and to pay. There is no reason why the bartender shouldn't hustle just cuz it's slow. They were nice enough, but come on person. Pep in step would be nice. The bar carries Pryes Royal Peach, which I love. A shot of Casamigos reposado was $15. Which is insanely steep, considering it cost less at the music venue I work at. I normally get Casadores, because it's not sweet, but Casamigos is an ok substitute. So, believe me when I say I know the average cost of this shot around town. Three other items I purchased were reasonably priced. But this $15 shot was just straight up insane. Whoever is doing the pricing needs to go out and do some scouting and check prices on stuff at other bars. That one is too much, especially cuz you're not a giant venue, stadium, or the airport. That being said, nice spot. Great patio. Would %100 recommend checking it out on your next NE bar crawl.“
“In town for the Big 10 Basketball tournament - stopped in for Breakfast on Saturday morning!Highly recommend the Corn Beef Hash! Also, go for the Sourdough toast - really good.Atmosphere is that of a true Dive Bar - which makes the food even better.“
“Don't let the fancy name trip you up. This is a diiiiiive bar. It's a long, narrow barroom with an open "kitchen" (really just a griddle and fryer setup) over to the side of the bar. There's no cook. No servers. Just a couple of friendly bartenders slinging cheap drinks and, I sh-- you not, the best freaking burgers in Minneapolis. They also have chicken sandwiches and pizzas, and I'm sure they're delicious. But the perfectly seasoned, perfectly griddled smash burgers are really where it's at. The atmosphere is divey and friendly. Lots of regulars coming in and out, nice patio area, etc. Everything is very clean, but there are no frills. If you love places like that as much as I do, do yourself a favor and head to NEYC now.“
“Super fun watering hole . Great bar tenders that make you feel welcomed and make strong drinks. ( kinda like the famous CHEERS ! ). Gets busy so get there early ! Fantastic food if you like to eat before you get get lit. Be careful the Greenies will sneak up on without warning ! The biannual golf trips to Vegas are a must even if you're not a golfer. I highly recommend this bar if you're all about fun !“
“Food- it's OK. Just deep fried stuff Pizza is great -Heggies Northeast's best dive bar. Friendly service. Cheap prices. Trivia, bingo, pull tabs for the fools. Great people and atmosphere. CASH only. They don't know what year it is“
“first of all thank you for being open on Christmas day!! and with a full menu as well! I had the philly chicken sandwich and it was maybe the best I've ever had. great atmosphere, friendly and happy staff, a complete joy from beginning to end!“
“I'll start with the worst part about this venue and it is the acoustics/sound quality. It wasn't as good as some of the other venues I have visited. I think that's the only thing that could be improved upon. The bar pricing was incredibly reasonable and the cheapest I've seen at any venue. For the smokers, being able to go outside during the show was a HUGE plus. You can also visit the Bar next door. It was really nice not feeling caged in. There was lots of places to move around if you couldn't find a good spot to see. I was able to see almost all the concert and with me being 5ft 2 sometimes that can be a huge difficulty. Parking also wasn't the greatest because you really have neighborhood parking and don't know all the rules and restrictions. But overall it was awesome show and I can't wait to go back!One last thing- I was at the Chelsea Grin concert and got to meet several performers. It was so nice to have that intimate touch and it felt very very special to me. Dreams absolutely came true that night“
“Friendly neighborhood spot with a nice variety of tasty food (including a brunch menu on the weekend until 3pm), a pool table, and even a few games for the kiddos. Good music is almost always playing in this super casual dive, and the staff is great!“
“Stopped at this restaurant for a quick lunch. I really enjoyed the small town atmosphere in the big city. Great people and quick service. I really enjoyed the Frenchmen's Pub sandwich. It is worth the extra $2.50 to get the french fries.“
“I have been here 2 times first time being Thursday November 9th I don’t remember that bartenders name and then again tonight with Deidra and both of them were absolutely amazing both night were pretty busy and as a solo bartender its not an easy! Especially with Jody bar-back and and boggy wbogg “
“To say The Otter is just the best Karaoke bar in the Twin Cities is putting it mildly. All of the bartenders & KJ’s treat the customer’s with respect. I’ve never had a bad time and weekend nights are off the hook. Their happy hour Karaoke starts at 4PM on Saturday’s and is normally not too busy so it’s a good spot to start the night off right.“
“This bar is fun, but there's this one worker with blonde hair I don't know her name but she's super rude and has pretty much upset me enough with her passive aggressive attitude to write this. You'll probably know the one because everyone else is chill if you regular here. She makes her own rules that aren't the bars like telling me I'm not allowed to be on a phone call outside minding my own business quietly and also demanding that you can't be here if you don't tip (Context, I always tip, there was one night I didn't have enough cash on my last drink and she told me to go home because I have no tip on the last one and refused to serve despite giving her many tips prior!) Not a nice person. Still giving the bar a 4 because people here are awesome, but this worker is really nasty passive aggressive, the whole "minnesota nice".“
“Comfortable mellow neighborhood bar, nearly full with 60-year old Grateful Dead fans who came at 8 PM on a Sunday night to listen to the house band, the Shotgun Ragtime band. Tables on the sidewalk out front with drinkers and smokers, and a neat little room with a pool table in the back. Relax, unplug, chill out, and stop by some Sunday evening.They have bands many other nights too.House kitchen is straightforward and solid, but simple fare.“
“This place is famously known as the home of the "Jucy Lucy" (or "Juicy Lucy"), a burger that has earned iconic status among locals and visitors alike. This casual eatery offers a quintessential dive bar experience with a straightforward, unpretentious vibe that focuses squarely on serving up delicious, hearty fare.The Jucy Lucy itself is the star of the menu—an ingenious burger with cheese melted inside the beef patty instead of on top, leading to a gooey core that’s both surprising and satisfying. Eating this burger is a must-try Minneapolis experience; just be cautious as the first bite can release hot, molten cheese. Matt’s rendition is often lauded for its perfect cheese-to-meat ratio and the flavorful beef patty that's seared to a crispy exterior.The setting at Matt's is typical of a traditional bar, with a cozy and somewhat nostalgic atmosphere that complements its simple yet satisfying menu. Besides their famous burger, they serve a range of classic bar foods and beverages, making it a great spot for a casual meal in a laid-back environment.Service at Matt's is friendly and efficient, with a local charm that makes everyone feel welcome. It's a great place to dive into the local culture, enjoy a piece of Minneapolis culinary history, and just have a good time with good food.“
