Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
You just have to look around.
The Driftwood is one of those places we keep coming back to every few months, mostly cause my Uncle John plays with the band Dream Addict! They play there often and it’s always a fun excuse to meet up with family, enjoy some live music, and spend time together!
Tonight I had the Mushroom Swiss burger, and it was really good! The fries are simple but absolutely delicious. If you’re coming for the music, plan on paying a cover charge, but it’s worth it....read full review
Dive bar in South Minneapolis. They have a stage for music but I wouldn't say they're a music venue. Food is your typical bar food but on the expensive side. $12 for fries, $17 for chicken tender basket, $18 for a burger and an extra $4 for chips. Beer was decently priced, $5.50 for Grain Belt bottles. Prices circa June '26.

Driftwood is a welcoming neighborhood bar that features live music from local bands like The Belfast Cowboys on Tuesdays. The cozy atmosphere includes a pool table and a friendly crowd of all ages. While the bar only serves wine and beer, the food menu offers well-priced, standard bar fare, including delicious chicken tenders and French fries. The bar supports the local music scene and may host bands that not everyone enjoys, but the overall vibe is appreciated by the community. Parking is available, and the bar is wheelchair accessible, though it may not be the most kid-friendly spot. Whether you're looking to enjoy a few drinks, listen to live music, or even dance, Driftwood provides a welcoming and lively neighborhood experience. The owner is friendly and welcoming, and the music, including performances by bands like The Dissenters and Sea Foam Green Tangerine, is great. The staff and food are also praised by customers.
