North Loop Galley

I recently moved to Minnesota from NYC and was excited to explore local spots. Unfortunately, my experience at this establishment left a lot to be desired.

I visited between 2-3 PM and was met with extremely unprofessional service by the bartender wearing a grey hoodie and black hat. From the moment I walked in, I felt unwelcome. There was no greeting or acknowledgment—I had to initiate the conversation to ask for a menu. His response was dismissive, he slides across a little barcode stand and also telling me to "just look at the TVs" for information. Given my poor eyesight and unfamiliarity with the place, this was unhelpful.

When I asked for a food menu, he raised his voice and rudely said, "There are four restaurants behind us if you want food; I don’t do food." Shocked by his attitude, I immediately left the bar area.

The staff at the ramen restaurant in the same space were wonderful and professional, which only emphasized how out of place the bartender’s behavior felt. He spent most of the time eating chips, sitting on his phone behind the bar, and ignoring customers at the bar. It was astonishing to see such unprofessionalism in a service industry role.

As someone with over a decade of experience in hospitality, I know how crucial professionalism and basic courtesy are to customer satisfaction. This experience was unacceptable and, unfortunately, ensures that I won’t return. I hope the management addresses these issues to prevent others from having a similar experience.

Bartender yelled at my gay friend. For no reason. She just wanted a beer.

This is an informal place to get some easy eats while out in Minneapolis! I love being able to pick from 5 restaurants who can get my dish fast! They serve on dining wear with silverware, you get your own utensils and water, they will bring you your plate!
They also have a small selection of game.
Also, the prices were much better than at Malcom Yards!😁

celebrate my birthday here and it was sooo fun! Manger was super nice and friendly. We sat at the patio for drinks and food, ordered pizza, ramen and drinks. Everyone had a great time! Pizza was sooo good the crust was cheesy and crispy, ramen was so flavorful and the soup and pork was delicious and fatty. Drinks were made fast and delicious.

Nice restaurant hall with a variety of options. Nice spot to stop for a quick bite or a longer stay with friends. Also has a bar with a diverse range of options. You can order at the counters for the vendors, or from a table. Tables were cleaned quickly when patrons were done eating.

*ONLINE TAKEOUT ORDERS Here’s what you have to know to get your order on time:

1. Place your order online. Before you pay, the system shows a pickup window (ex: 5:45-6:00 pm). Make note of this window. You will not see it again.

2. After you pay, you’ll receive a text and will be redirected to a web page (screengrab attached). ***They do not update this web page, and they do not text you when your food is ready.

3. Instead, check in with your vendor at the beginning of your pickup window.

The food is delish, but this is super annoying.

The Hawaiian Ono plates are amazing and the bar is a great atmosphere in the North Loop. They have a nice patio that is spacious and easy access bathrooms.

The server Drake was very rude and unkind. Asked guests of color to get their own water and napkins. Promptly afterwards, his fellow server was also appalled and provided good service. Would recommend other NLoop bars.
