50 Best Bars near Shoreview

“Both my daughter & my meals were good. She had the walleye tacos & sweet potato fries & I had the bbq burger, both were fresh and my burger was juicy!“

“Such an amazing time here. My fiancé and I stopped in after suit shopping and it was the best part of the night. I felt like we were tucked back into a secret part of the city, hiding away for a great bite to eat. The menu is limited which is perfect for me, but also means they have worked to one the dishes on it. We split a burger after having the brussle sprouts and poutine. This was an amazing combo and the portions were generous! I would come here again and again, not for just the food but the service as well. We had made a reservation for a later time, but got there earlier. They were able to get us sat in Lora’s section. Lora was truly amazing and made the dinner that much better. Here recommendations were amazing and she was just so kind. Great conversation and truly made the dinner the much better.“

“Milly’s is an absolute gem in Minneapolis! The wine selection is impressive, with a great variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options that catered perfectly to our group. The food, especially the charcuterie boards, was delicious and beautifully presented. Don’t miss out on the French onion soup! Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. A special shoutout to Timothy, the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect pairings for our meal. And the owner, Brandon, was so welcoming and personable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“Love this place. Kitchen is open late. Drinks are tasty. Food is excellent. Staff is so friendly. 😁“

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

“A great area for dogs of all sizes to run outdoors, attentive staff to manage any pup issues, a great menu, and great drinks! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening with friends and your dogs without worrying about keeping your dog on your heels. There is also an indoor area for rainy or snowy days.“

“Lots of fun. Great place to hang out.“

“Always a great time when we come here!“

“Stopped in today with a friend for a couple burgers. Food was excellent, as was the service. Will definitely be back.“

“We have become regulars.The food and drink are outstannothing. But the service. The service is top notch. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who care.Thank you“

“Really cool place great decorations and vibes were nice the drinks are a bit strong but still good and the bartenders are chill. I would say it was bard looking for seating and there was about one area pretty much for a big group to sit and everywhere else would be probably a 2-3 person sitter.“

“Fantastic Food, great music and the wildest bunch of neighborhood regulars.“

“This place is one of a kind in Minneapolis, and I couldn't say enough positive things to do it justice. Welcoming, and with the loveliest, most beautifully eclectic and wholly diverse bunch of regular patrons, anyone could easily make this place their home away from home. Members boast generous discounts and countless perks, and anyone can become one to join in and receive the same benefits. With multiple, assorted activities happening there on a consistent basis, there is something that everyone enjoy. From karaoke, blind dart league, drawing club, to trivia, to any one of the swing, country line, or salsa dance nights, or any of the hosted drum and bass, rock, metal, or rockabilly shows- it's always a time at the Eagles 34. They offer tasty bar food and 4 nights they showcase Polish food from Wojtek. Rad staff, rad patrons. Oh, and they contribute to local high schools through charitable gambling. They have bingo 3 days and pulltabs/etabs. This place rocks!“

“This is by far the nicest Sportsbar/pool hall I have ever been in. Super good food and the place is unbelievably clean. Owner Jerry and staff were super friendly and I got the meet Litte Joe Villalpondo while I was there. Thanks Jerry, it was fun.“

“A new addition to Uptown, and a great one!

One of the best spots to go watch sports in Uptown. The TVs are great, the crowds are lively, and the food and drunks are amazing. It *is* a smaller spot, so try to get there early on game days - it gets busy fast.

We love the Cookie Shots, and the buckets are delicious too! The food has also never disappointed - I highly recommend their burgers.

Will always be coming back!“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“Amazing food and amazing hospitality. Staff is really polite and sweet.“

“This place is a must visit! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are top notch. We had Var and Nat as our servers and they were phenomenal. Genuinely have never had better bartenders. They made the night absolutely perfect! We will definitely be visiting again!“

“My friends had told me I have to try the coneys at the Gopher Bar. I’m in St. Paul like never, so I have never got to go. I tried to go in July, but they were closed. And with their limited hours, it makes it tough.

I was finally in the area on a Saturday night, and hungry. I stopped in and it was well lit with plenty of seating. Fun, friendly atmosphere with a great wait staff. Fast service for a Saturday evening after 10pm. Got the drinks quickly, got the food quickly. Great service. I might go back just for the service.

I got the deep fried ravioli as an appetizer. Kind of like pizza rolls. They were delicious. I’d get them again for sure.

I also finally got to try the coneys. While they are expensive at $4 apiece, they are delicious. Served hot with a mountain of onions and on special toasted buns specifically for these coneys, it was a great experience. The only knock on the coneys is they don’t come with mustard on them which was odd. I knew they were missing something. I added the mustard and they were great. The dogs have a great “snap” to them when you bite them as they should.

I will definitely be back. Best coney’s in the metro that I’ve found. And I’ve tried a LOT of places.

Just be warned, parking in ST. Paul can be a nightmare and the Gopher Bar only takes cash.

Thanks for the great meal!“

“Great food, friendly staff and drink specials. prices are excellent.“

“We’ve had 2 pregames here and had excellent food and service both times. Their fried pickle chips are awesome, wings great even sauceless (got dipping sauces on side), walleye fries were great, the only thing we were so so on were the nachos. Fake cheese was blah but otherwise all good! Service excellent, drinks cold.“

“Sometimes it’s nice to go to a place where people know your name“

“It was a nice place to learn a new craft. Service was excellent and they are helpful. Large selection to choose from. They only have flatbreads to order and I was not impressed. You can order food from nearby but I do wish they had a few other options for purchase.“

“Chill vibe, great drinks, cozy atmosphere“

“Nice little hole in the wall spot on Central Ave. Busy street makes for easy access by foot, but not car. So it’ll appeal to some but maybe not all. Drinks were great! The apricot old fashioned was phenomenal. Didn’t get food because there wasn’t much of a menu, but smaller items to snack on. Not really a dinner spot but definitely a romantic date spot with great drinks and service. $4 Hamms for HH is excellent.

Parking: If you are a driver, park on side streets and walk.“

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

“The Northeast section of Minneapolis is a surprising Mecca for neighborhood taverns, and I was blown away by the quality of the food and service. The burger was cooked to perfection and the fries were crispy and hot, complemented by an icy cold PBR. The bartender was very pleasant and made sure I had everything I needed, while the clientele were entertaining and added to the lively atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and try the double cheeseburger again.“

““Small Hour” is a hidden gem tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of Minneapolis, and I finally had the chance to visit after meaning to stop by for quite some time. That evening felt extra special — my friend was performing music, so it almost felt like an invited night out, and I went with my girlfriend and another close friend.

Unlike many wine bars in the Twin Cities, this one felt much more casual and approachable. You don’t feel the pressure to dress up — it’s the kind of place where you can come to unwind, share a good bottle, and enjoy the moment. We ordered a bottle of rosé wine, which was well-chosen and perfectly chilled. The wine selection overall was thoughtful and balanced, with options for both casual drinkers and those who appreciate something unique.

The food was simple but satisfying, complementing the wines nicely without overcomplicating things. The whole experience felt minimalist and modern, allowing us to focus more on conversation and atmosphere than on pretense. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t try too hard — and that’s exactly what makes it charming.

Here, you order at the counter — it’s self-service, and the staff doesn’t hover over you, which actually gave us the space to talk and relax comfortably. The owner had a warm, genuine smile, and you could tell they care about creating a space that feels both local and intentional.

It wasn’t too crowded when we visited, but the vibe was cozy, stylish, and quietly vibrant — perfect for a low-key evening with friends or a special date night. I wouldn’t call it an everyday stop, but for the right occasion or a meaningful meeting, Small Hour is absolutely worth the visit.

I love seeing more places like this opening in Minneapolis — a modern, minimalist wine bar with heart, soul, and a sense of calm sophistication.“

“Finally, a place respecting the art of a delicious gin beverage! Offering a mesmerizing selection of gins and a creative delivery of flavors and botanicals, Moonwater respects the art of making a great, craft cocktail. I even enjoyed the little touches on the gin menu that showed what glassware the drink would be served in! A great gin menu, friendly staff, and access to Luna and the Bear's food menu make Moonwater the place for an enjoyable night out!“

“Really cool speakeasy bar and awesome cocktails 🍸🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“Have a variety of drinks other than beer. Also have nonalcoholic beer.“

“One of the top places in Minneapolis!!!“

“This place is a solid dive bar that takes you right back to the '70s. It's not fancy, just good drinks at great prices. The place is super relaxed, and the crowd is friendly and laid-back. It’s in the heart of downtown. This bar is an adults type place, though—wouldn't recommend bring the kids. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink and relax, this is it. Highly recommend!“

“Friday nights karaoke 730 til 1130pm Great sound, friendly fun place...“

“Fantastic. I already know what I'm having next time!!!“

“Dive bar atmosphere country environment“

“This was a nice surprise. We were looking for a spot to grab dinner before a concert and ended up eating and staying for drinks for a couple of hours. The drinks Dave made us were fantastic. The food was very good. Overall a great spot to stop at for food in the area. Between the great conversation with Willie one of the managers, and Dave behind the bar, it was a great experience and I know this will be where I go next time I'm up in Minneapolis.“

“Always a good time. They have free tokens on Fridays and $2 slices of pizza that are massive and amazing. Plus, so many pinball machines, ski-ball, and many vintage arcade classics that will bring anyone back to a better time in the world (PacMan, Tetris, etc)“

“Great place! Great food! Great service. Loved the patio for lunch. Ivy was incredibly professional and gave great customer service.“

“I agree with previous poster. I will be dreaming of Francis now. Door was FABULOUS! Atmosphere is quaint. Francis is my new favorite“

“Cool place! 🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“good band, and good people“

“I have loved Dusty's for many years; and a Dago Works with potato salad is always a winner!“

“Friendly staff and atmosphere..Karaoke with Dj Cowboy is always a blast! Great music, great singers, a lot of fun every time! I wish DJ Cowboy was there every weekend. ❤️🎵“

“Amazing food, drinks & service!“

“My first time here. It’s a tiny little local bar. They keep their old tradition as cash only, which the bartender explained, even though card option would’ve been nice since the atm and my bank both will charge fees withdrawing cash. Found out the hard way, but you have the option to leave if you don’t like it , no one is forcing you stay. bartender is a nice guy and made me feel welcome.“

“Simple Bar for a simple good choice. Happy hour: All day, every day! My server was on top of things Great First Experience. OPEN on MONDAY!“

“Great tour by Cade. Beautiful facility and even better whiskey. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Great Karaoke great crowd great energy“
