20 Best Dive Bars in Minneapolis

“Matt’s is a neighborhood staple. The food is always delicious and the staff like family. They also keep the place cool in the summer and hot in the winter by kindly reminding people to keep the doors closed since it’s an intimate setting.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

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

“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!“

“Never had a bad burger here. Went in yesterday, St Patrick’s day and it was so busy. We got our food to go, it was quick and service was great. Love this spot.“

“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!“

“Went to R/B night 🔥 🔥. The bartender Morgan was on point with the drinks. She made us out of owners feel really welcomed. The dudes on stage that were hosting couldn't really sing lol but they know how to have a good time and work the crowd. I'll be back when I'm in the city again.“

“Classic Nordeast bar…not many left“

“Crispy wings, pizza and Bar burgers so no medium well but comes out hot so not bad at all! Smaller place but has a pool table. We like this place because its quieter. To eat and have a couple beers is maybe 50$ FOR 2. The bartenders are observant and take good care of you!“

“I have tried just about everything on the menu at Bina's. The Bina Burger (Smashburger) is a two patty wagon burger....SOOOOO YUMNY. The Tendiemelt is enough for two people to share. And the Grilled Cheese has 5 chesses/spreads and pairs perfectly with the tomato soup. stop in and give your opinion.“

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

“Jojo was an excellent bartender. Made me feel at home. 10/10. Would come back just for her service.“

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

“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“

“Best karaoke in MN. Honestly, probably the best karaoke in the entire Midwest.“

“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.“

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

“Fun and welcoming hole in the wall, just don't count on the hours! Apparently they'll close even before 10 if the last patrons left don't order another drink soon enough. Hope no one was planning to come in for a nightcap - or counting on the only place around open late for somewhere to wait (and grab a/nother drink) when your date works long hours like I was. May be that trivia nights it clears out early once that ends.“

“Okay. We were trying to go somewhere else & ended up here. We said okay well it's meant to be let's give it a shot. We both ordered from the breakfast menu, he got the moose burrito & I got a northeaster skillet eggs on the side. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Great service! Delicious bloody mary. It is going to be on our regular lineup now! 🙌“
