27 Best Pubs in Minneapolis

“Great atmosphere! So many people having a great time. Ordered the Dragon's Milk Braised Beef Ribs with snap peas and mash. So good! So tender and flavorful! Gravy was chef's kiss!“

“My girlies & I spent celebrated my 40th birthday with you yesterday (16.03) & it was incredible. I was literally treated like a princess… we were put in a private function room, complimentary Prosecco, 3 x birthday desserts, & we were looked after SO well by Scott. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough, the food / drink / staff, were SO lovely! Thank you so much for making it so special x“

“Never had a bad meal here“

“Great wings and burgers and fries.“

“Okay, I told ya I’d give you the review, so here goes. 🫖
Very private, there was another table that came as we were wrapping up. They had the table set for us as we arrived. Then we all got to pick a tea and received our own tea pot. They had creamer packs, packet honey, rustic sugar cubes, and lemon segments.
A little while after getting the tea we received the tiered tower of treats and sandwiches.
The classic cucumber, a sundress tomato pesto turkey, and curried egg salad in a croissant. All tasty. The top was fruit, cheeses, which included one of my all time
Favorites, sage derby. Also there was a lavender tea cake which was dense yet the lavender was very tasty, it went well with the accompanying clotted cream, and jarred blackberry jam and honey.
The bottom was sweets, I can only speak for the little chocolate pudding which was good. I heard the macaroons were great, there were two kinds, but at that point I couldn’t even look. lol. Also blueberry scone.
Well worth the price of under $40 a person. And worth the drive. They had their own parking ramp and it was easy in and out.“

“The service here is fast and courteous! I recommend you give them a try!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!“

“Love this spot. Great owners. Great feel. Good food. One of my favs.“

“Stopped in to get to go meal while at a conference at the hotel next door. Staff were welcoming and accommodating of my request, even let me have a water and tea while waiting. Food was excellent. I live in Saint Paul but will be making town hall a new place to stop with friends!“

“enjoyed the food and the service was great!“

“They have some of the best wins, they have remodeled lanes, they do have a nice bar and restaurant and the service is always awesome. parking lot with handicap ♿ entrance, good 🍕 pizzas, good burgers 🍔, a devoted variety of beers 🍻.“

“Torg brewery is our spot to go after a long day/week. The people are always friendly and the beers are delicious. I especially love that they cater to old world style beers over the trending IPA/fruited scene. With saisons, heffeweissens, and ESBs, it's a little taste of Europe in Minnesota. The owner is super friendly and inviting as well, even hosting his own trivia on Wednesday nights for a fun time.“

“Minneapolis can be intimidating for a small town Wisconsin girl like me. I was looking for a pub that felt like home and Mackenzie’s was exactly what I was looking for! Such a warm and cozy atmosphere. I was impressed by the very unique selection of seasonal cocktails and the pretty diverse menu (so many things looked good it was hard to decide). I’m still thinking of the Thai peanut wrap days later, seriously some of the best sauce I’ve had in my whole life. I can’t wait to come back next time I’m in Minneapolis!“

“A must visit for the best juicy lucy style burgers and delicious tots. Have tried just about everything on the menu and it's all delicious. Food comes out quickly and servers are attentive for refills, but very popular, so expect a wait during weekends/games.“

“Lovely little spot to hang out. Beautiful inside and the staff is friendly. They also have a little patio area in the alley. The space as a whole was clean.
I tried the guava cooler mocktail and it was delicious.
Great space for music too. The stage and sound system are set up really great.“

“quiet Sunday afternoon, places was pretty empty.
expected standard pub fare, and were surprised to find really good brats and hot dogs. ordered a beet salad and all was fresh and flavorful. will keep it in mind for future forays into that area.“

“We had lunch on Saturday at the bar and Tyler’s service and overall attentiveness was outstanding! The food and drinks, I had a flight, were very good. Great experience our first time there.“

“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).“

“Great service snd super friendly. As expected college town bar w good burgers. Fries are excellent and very crisp

Lots of different burgers to try and very good taste. Overall good and if daughter goes to school at the U we will be back“

“Pat's tap is my favorite neighborhood bar! Great drinks, great food and even greater staff!“

“Stopped in at the world famous Stub n Herbs for lunch with my brother. No wait on a Friday afternoon for a table at lunch. Nicole our bartender did a great job and she makes a good ol fashioned. Cool college bar with pool table and dart boards. Good mushroom Swiss burger and good sweet potatoe fries“

“Great Chicken BLT Salad! Everyone at the table was pleased with their meals. I would definitely come again!!“

“Love the new space. Digital signage said burgers were $3 on Wednesdays. They were $4. Still tasty and a great deal, but update your sign. I sat for 10 minutes and watched the server take a picture of people at a table and chat with her friends. Never came near my high top table. I finally went to the bartender (very nice) who took my drink and food order. Server swung by 10 minutes later (20 minutes after I sat down). Told her I ordered from the bartender. She never stopped by after that. I was there for 45 minutes, saw her interact with her tables twice. Service was pretty scarce. 2 or 3 staff sitting in a booth. If the bartender hadn't been awesome, I would have left. Burger and onion rings were good.“

“Great drinks and food, really cool building!

Only complaint is service was a bit slow, there was clearly only one server working at the time and she was running around like crazy dealing with every table while the 2 or 3 bartenders were standing on their phones lol. Maybe have less bartenders and more servers to balance out the workload.

That being said, our server (light blonde haired girl, I can’t remember her name?) was fantastic!!! Super kind, funny and helpful. Next time we’re in the area, we’ll be coming back for those nachos & long islands!“

“Fun college bar to go too. The music is a vibe. The bartender with the curly hair was really nice and made us her specialty shot pixie stick I think it was called. I also set my credit card on the bar with the number facing up and didn’t think anything of it and she flipped it over and said “oh no no hunny make sure your card is always facing down so nobody steals your credit card information!” So appreciated the advice! Overall great experience and great music! She made the drinks really fast and was always smiling so made the experience so much more enjoyable! I think her name was Alexis!“
