22 Best Dive Bars in Minneapolis

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Local neighborhood hangout“

“My wife and I had heard great things about the Juicy Lucy, and had to try it out. The fries were nice and fluffy on the inside. The burger itself was pretty tasty.

Wheelchair accessibility: It looks easy to get in and out, but potentially difficult to maneuver around when the restaurant is at capacity.“

“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.“

“Wonderful staff. Great vibes“

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

“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.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“Favorite dive bar of the twin cities! I've been going there since the mid 90s. Usually a diverse crowd, great live music, and probably the best patio to see bands play! Can take a while to get a drink on a busy night but that just reinforces the dive bar vibe.“

“Best bar on the planet. A real slice of Nordeast Minneapolis.“

“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.“

“Very nice atmosphere and super friendly bartender“

“Great Karaoke great crowd great energy“

“Haven't been here in years, Still a welcoming place for ALL❣️ Enjoyed hanging out on patio, listening to 80 & 90's music. Lot's of fun memories here, people are fun! To the Good Old Days. We enjoyed a couple of cold beverages.

Parking: Free Parking Lot across the street! Unheard of in Mpls., LOL!“

“The meal I had was absolutely amazing!
If you're looking for really good Onion Rings, stop here. They are sooooo good.
The burgers are also really tasty.
The price is as if you're in rural Minnesota or rural Wisconsin.“

“Best Karaoke Bar in Minnesota.“

“Surprisingly chill place for a neighborhood bar. It was extremely loud when we went in on a Sunday night, there was live music after all.

Sitting outside was pleasant and it was also nice to see the bartenders come outside and see if we needed anything.

The people at the bar were pretty friendly and that was a nice surprise too, seemed like most of them were neighbors.

Parking: Lots of spots in front.

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“Amazing burgers, tasty apps, cold tall beers, what's not to love? Our server was friendly and funny. We had a great time and enjoyed the decor. Plus they have plenty of decent bicycle parking! The only drawback was that bingo night was quite loud, but overall everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.“

“If you were a young musician in the years that count... it was nice to get drunk there with your friends. They had one drink that would knock me out after playing shows or going to see shows. Ask Ciaran the MMA guy which one is best. Don't ask if we kissed while drunk. I love you Minneapolis!“
