44 Best Craft Breweries near Robbinsdale

“We went to their Mothers Day Brunch and had a blast. My kids loved the llamas and I loved the bottomless mimosas and we all loved the food!“

“What a great brewery located in the heart of Birdtown. Great bingo, meat raffle and an annual summer party with great give aways! The patio has live music in the summer. Winter time music moves inside.“

“it was our first time there on Saturday friendly bartenders and staff we will for sure be back most definitely had a fun time!“

“Awesome place to host an event!! Super helpful staff, great atmosphere and plenty of space for guests.“

“Lovely atmosphere with great staff and fabulous cider! Watching the younger generation curling was so fun!“

“A must visit in the north loop! Great beer! Amazing people! The perfect place to visit before a twins game or any day really… Cory, thank you for the hospitality. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“One of our favorite breweries in the area - there is always a great selection of high quality beer that is strongly influenced by German brewing style, the community events are great, and there is usually a good food truck in the evenings to order at, or food in the area to bring.“

“Such a comfortable place for a brew or two.“

“It has a great staff and the people were just so welcoming!“

“This place is legit. Fantastic European-style beers (ie. German and Czech in particualr) but they have something for everyone. A very cool space indoors. It was cold when we visited but the outdoor beer garden looks like it would be a very good time. If you're visiting from out of town and staying closer to the city center, I still highly encourage making the trip here if you're a beer lover as it's my favorite of the breweries we visited.“

“The staff were great! I liked the indoor and outdoor seating. This place has some really cool events like cat snuggling and table top game nights. The beer was good and cold. I am not a fan of happy beers and these were too happy for my taste, but they were good beers. Just not my flavor.“

“Nice patio, comfortable interior. I go to work, drink an Icee or two and eat their free popcorn. Friendly staff. Right on Mainstreet Hopkins.“

“Would not work with this venue again, as they do not operate in good faith with their artists. They intentionally lied and misled a group of full-time working artists, and will probably continue to do so moving forward, as venues like this tend to fall into habit of mistreating acts Disappointing to say the least, I would not support live entertainment here. I can guarantee you the money is not going and the hands of the performers or producers putting on the events, as it should. If you are a performer or producer yourself, please look elsewhere, there are many other fantastic venues in the nearby neighborhoods that are worth supporting and working with.“

“We went to Steel Toe for the first time today. We enjoyed the best of Minneapolis summer entertainment. They have a nice outdoor area with a food truck for your tummy. We played a trivia game and saw others playing cribbage. It was quiet and lots of actual chatting and interacting that doesn't happen when music or TV is overbearing.“

“This was our first time here and we had such a great time. So many beverage options and a fun, relaxed place to be. We will be back very soon!“

“First time here for coffee in the morning and it didn't stay empty for long - wow! Great service and a hidden neighborhood gem for coffee/work or to go (equally busy).

Thankful to see the chairs are now padded too.

Will definitely be back on the regular!“

“Good size tasting room in a nondescript mall north of the Twin Cities. They shine with their hazies but have a great range of options. Excellent music in the background. Low key. Quality beer. Good patio space for summer afternoons. Friendly staff. Pinball! Will return.“

“Great variety of products! Meat raffle was free with the opportunity of winning free meat, beer or girl scout cookies.“

“Absolutely wonderful! Staff is fun, friendly, and personable. We recently co-hosted an event at Inbound and everything was flawless! Great communication and a huge following that really helped promote the event. The drinks are delicious and even the clientele is great! We can't wait to be back!“

“We threw my sister a baby shower here a few weeks ago. Emily was wonderful to work with leading up to the event, answering all my questions promptly and and was so accommodating, as was everyone on staff the day of. Everyone had a great time & we received several compliments on the venue. It was perfect. Would highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Boom Island Brewing and The Tile Shop Thanks for a great Party. What a great Brewery and they know how to host a Party! 💯“

“Fantastic menu - lots of great choices and a nice, spread out space with lots of natural light. Unique beers that are delicious!“

“Great beer, staff, and space“

“Great vibes, super accommodating staff, delicious food, and a wide range of beverage options. Definitely worth attending one of their events ☺️“

“One of the best breweries in town.“

“Joined for dog yoga and simply love the vibe, the German name theme and all the diverse community events! Kudos for having a Big Lebowski themed bash!!“

“super fun comedy show & great beer!“

“What an amazing place!We came here to see The Jake and Josie Show. Great atmosphere in my old stomping grounds of Minnetonka. Glen Lake is such a great community and the place was packed all night. Lots of great beer choices and they have a food truck for snacks. I wish there was a bit more parking so come early on a weekend. All the tables fill up really fast. Located on Excelsior Bvld. I highly recommend this place!“

“Love the atmosphere. Good food, great beer!“

“Loved this brewery. I have been coming here since the 612 Brewing open their doors and now to Padraigs Brewing for the first time. Although not a beer brewing professional but a beer connoisseur, I really enjoyed the different Irish beers. Please go and support Padraigs Brewing and their excellent beer and ambience.“

“My dad and I - both huge craft beer fans- stumbled across this absolute gem last night. Neither of us live in the area (I’m in S Mpls and he’s in the south suburbs), but we were in Plymouth looking for a brewery and this one sounded unique. I’m going to try to make this succinct, but so much was perfection, so here’s a list of PROS:
-Friendly and extremely knowledgable staff. My dad asks lots of questions, and the kind beertender had good answers about how the brews were made, hops used, “this is a little different than other brews in this style, what’s different?”, etc. He even came out from behind the bar to chat with us, which I don’t see at any other tap rooms.
-HUGE variety of brews, and nearly all were fabulous in my opinion.
-Completely unique vibe, which was refreshing for me coming from Minneapolis, where it’s easier to find a brewery thats just like all the other breweries than it is to find someone who’s doing something truly unique.
-Related to the above: chairs were actually comfortable and not those crappy metal chairs every single brewery has.
-Dad loved the library. Between the excellent selection of books and beers, I think he was ready to move in.
-Variety of upcoming events, including the classic trivia, a maker’s market, and TRICYCLE JOUSTING coming up on 6/1.
-Appears they have a patio as well, it was raining when we visited.
-Head brewer is a woman, which is less common than one might hope in 2025, but here we are. She’s so talented, and I’m a fan without even having met you, Lori!

Cons:
-No in-house food, which some may prefer. I didn’t mind ordering in from Davanni’s, who gave us a discount for ordering from the brewery. Perhaps they have food trucks sometimes, I’ll keep an eye out for that when I return. They do have snacks like pretzels and chips.
-This place is not in my back yard, which is only a con for me personally; hopefully they’re closer to you, dear reader.

Overall, well worth a return trip to see what’s on tap and sit a spell in a friendly, welcoming, unique environment.“

“We caught an Irish band playing here live around St Patty's day, and boy was that fun. The outdoor patio is great, and it's near the Twins Target Field. The interior is also spacious. I appreciated how they had some decent food offerings to pair with the beer.“

“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.“

“Chill vibes, especially with their outdoor dining. Tried the chicken & waffles w/ a spicy maple syrup and it was delicious — perfectly crispy chicken, fluffy waffles, and just the right balance of sweet and spicy. Fast friendly service, Definitely worth a visit!“

“The pizza and salad were great but we didn't get what we ordered. We ordered a Walter White pizza and got What's the Damage. We ordered a Greek salad and got a Caesar salad. The dark lager was great. 5 stars if the order had been correct.“

“Good beer and vibes all day, any day“

“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!“

“Some great beers to choose from.“

“I just started really getting into pizza. And this one was wonderful! There was good balance in all ingredients on our pizza. Just the right amount of cheese and sauce. The crust was soft without being chewy or doughy. Our order was cooked fast, too! We were pleasantly surprised by the speed our order came out. Had a great experience here for our first time, and can't wait to go back.“

“We are so sad to see Invictus go! My husband and I love our weekly date night seeing the best bartenders who’ve become our friends. The family atmosphere that we’ve enjoyed for the last 10 years will be lost and no big stores or chains can replace our fav local spot. These guys know your name when you walk in and we will miss them so much! Thank you for the amazing service, great drinks and wonderful memories!“

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

“Our large group enjoyed great food and wonderful service tonight. Peter was our server and did a fantastic job. It can’t be easy to handle a group of 20+ seniors, but he pulled it off well.“
