9 Best Irish Pubs near Minneapolis

“It was a cozy Sunday evening before the bar rush. We were coming from a funeral service and the bartender was incredibly helpful and got our table of 9 sat quickly and we had phenomenal food and drink service.

I loved the Irish curry- would be worth stopping by just for that, but their Guinness tap line is clean and tasted great.

Thank you for a fantastic memory created after the funeral service!“

“We went for the Lynx tailgate party and it was a lot of fun but more so the food and service were some of the best we’ve ever had (and we go out a lot in a bunch of major cities).“

“What a nice, comfortable, and enjoyable place. We were staying close and wanted a burger for dinner, and the were over the top, fantastic! You gotta have the waffle fries, they’re worth stopping in on their own. The service was spot on, timely, and polite. Olivia was our server and she made us feel like we were her only customers, and the place was busy. Great place to bring the family. Two thumbs up for Team POG, Minneapolis!!“

“Friendly community gathering spot. Pub sings, jam sessions, and gatherings of morris dancers are why I end up here, that they are at Merlins because Merlins has always been enormously welcoming. It's our community home.“

“This is such a beautiful building, we were so interested in all the fine woodwork and details. We couldn't believe the building wasn't a bank or hotel or something years ago.However, I was a bit let down by the food. The pretzel was good although I'm sure not made in house, and the very spicy mustard just tasted very horseradishy. My Flatbread had good flavor, but I'm sure the Flatbreads aren't made fresh either, it was floppy and chewy.“

“Great Live Music @ Mikkel Bee Presents👍🥳🥳“

“Stopped in for a cocktail after eating at Russell's they are connected..just a few steps thru the kitchen 😄. My 2nd time there. Super nice Employees! I had a body chill. besides a hot toddy what was there, all we came up with was a warm brandy. She was creative and rolled the glass of brandy in extremely hot water to warm it. Being a great pour it cooled off, she asked to re-warm it..she was looking out for me❣A++“

“Awesome atmosphere, amazing service, (tacos are to die for, as is everything I’ve had), with beautiful spaces to be one on one or in a group. Also near my favorite shops! The Local - West End checks all the boxes! Oh …and free underground parking. Boom.“

“The food was good with the exception of the salmon that was grilled and burnt and overdone. The burnt provided a bitter taste. The staff took it off the bill and brought us dessert. I appreciated the kindness concerning the upset. The restaurant was loud with the live music. They could have brought the sound down a notch. The ambiance was lovely. The server and manager was attentive and lovely.“
