“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!“

“Always one of my faves. Service is always good. Great wine list and love to order multiple small dishes for sharing. Personal favorites are the gem salad, tuna, and shishito peppers. My husband loves the cheeseburger and says it’s in the top five burgers in the twin cities. Go you will have zero regrets.“

“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!“

“If you need your party catered, this is the place to go. Staff: Easy to work with, on time, good prices, friendly and very accommodating. Food: Gorgeous/amazing presentation , fresh, hot, professionally packed. I ordered from Red Rabbit in Saint Paul for my work holiday party. Everyone LOVED the food and the portions are generous. I was able to easily and beautifully display it. The timing was perfect and everything went smoother than I had hoped. This is your one stop shop for all of your party food needs. Hats off to the chefs and management for making our party wonderful.“

“I love fowling warehouse!! It is the first place I suggest when my friends and I want to go do something. The bartenders and the owner are all so kind and fun. Fowling is such a fun and unique activity that truly anyone can play - no football experience needed (you can throw it underhand!). There are so many lanes that I've never had to wait in line. I would recommend buying the $15 unlimited fowling - I haven't ran into a need to reserve a lane yet since l've been there. They also have arcade games, ping pong, cornhole, jenga, pool, fooseball - they literally have it all! A ton of TVs so you can catch any game - they host super fun Twins pregames too. The area by cornhole and ping pong is super spacious and they have a jumbo TV down there. Don't forget about the $5 mystery beer machine. If you are thinking
about going, absolutely check it out. You won't be disappointed!“

“Excellent food! Great wine!♥️“

“Dusty’s is a NE MPLS treasure. Live music & DJs + cheap drinks!“

“Highly recommend, incredible fine dining experience. Especially when paired with wine selections. We go at least twice a year and have never been disappointed.“

“We celebrated with dinner at the Lexington and it was a perfect spot to try! Our waitress, Grace, was phenomenal and so attentive to us. She helped us celebrate with a surprise photo and ice cream sweet:) She went above to help our experience be wonderful! We loved the valet option and enjoyed our first time at the Lexington! 🥰“

“Excellent food and service, but they rush your dining enjoyment, pushing your main meal while still enjoying appetizers, suggesting they want higher table turnover over customer satisfaction. We felt rushed, likely won't return.“

“Love this place!!! everything is delicious! 10/10“

“Classic Nordeast bar…not many left“

“Chill vibe, great drinks, cozy atmosphere“

“Great food. big beers. sports. what's not to love. they even got the ring on a string in the back!“

“Highly recommend! Excellent. The restaurant is cozy and tropical and you feel like you’re on vacation. But the showstopper is the food. Pricey but worth every penny! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The best hole-in-the-wall spot for coney dogs! The food is always delicious, and the old-school atmosphere gives it so much character and charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like a local favorite the moment you walk in. If you’re craving a great coney dog and a nostalgic dining experience, this is the place to go.“

“Food is good. Stopped in for dinner last night. 12 bucks for a Sam Adams Oktoberfest on tap seems a little excessive.“

“Thank you for keeping the North Star Law Group crew fed! We always have such a great time at Gabe's! 💫“

“Our team had an amazing time at Upstairs Circus! Even though we booked at the last minute, they were incredibly accommodating and made the entire experience seamless. There was a fantastic selection of creative, hands-on projects to choose from, with options that were fun and accessible for every skill level.

A special shoutout to Rojo, the manager, and Marjorie, the craft designer, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. They were welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a unique and entertaining time day or night out, whether with a group, friends, or a date, I highly recommend Upstairs Circus. We had such a great time and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!“

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

“Crispy wings, pizza and Bar burgers so no medium well but comes out hot so not bad at all! Smaller place but has a pool table. We like this place because its quieter. To eat and have a couple beers is maybe 50$ FOR 2. The bartenders are observant and take good care of you!“

“Jaxon, Bree, and the bouncer from NY (Go Knicks) made our visit so worth it. We experienced an entire day of below average service, and these three made up for it in entirety. Incredible energy, so personable. It’s rare to find people who are willing to share themselves with a random group at midnight on a Wednesday. Flora has some keepers!!!“

“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.“

“they have great burger's. the staff is great. it's reasonably priced“

“I have tried just about everything on the menu at Bina's. The Bina Burger (Smashburger) is a two patty wagon burger....SOOOOO YUMNY. The Tendiemelt is enough for two people to share. And the Grilled Cheese has 5 chesses/spreads and pairs perfectly with the tomato soup. stop in and give your opinion.“

“Stopped in around 9pm on a Monday night in early January 2026. Kitchen was still open, we called ahead so they knew we were coming and said kitchen stays open until 30 minutes prior to closing which was midnight that night. Sofie was our bartender/sever/hostess/pull tab lady. She does it all! Prices are very reasonable, food was great we had pizza, wings & shrimp. The best part of the night was walking in and adding $20 to my etab machine and hitting $150! Will definitely be back!! Thank you Sofie & please thank the cook for us.“

“Dive bar atmosphere country environment“

“Just good all around place for food and drink“

“Stopped in for the first time. The space was small but set up really well. Many selections of self-pour drinks including wine and mixed drinks. We also ordered 2 of the hot hoagies and an appetizer. I thought the food was a great value. We will definitely be back!“

“Hifi allllll around!! mad impressive wine selection. delicious fish tins and other bites. refined interior design that somehow gets even better when the sun beams in. nice variety of indoor & outdoor seating. will be back for a glass of chilled red stat!

go around 5/6pm if you prefer a more quiet and intimate atmosphere like me 👐“

“For everyone old enough to remember Atari Arcade Games plus classic PINBALL offerings. Numerous, delicious draft beer choices along with a on-demand ordering Pizza Kitchen which will fullfill the hungriest munchies craving. Get yourself upstairs to their fantastic Rooftop Deck with TVs, Cornhole and of course a Full Bar.“

“three music venues, food, drinks. Great old time unpretentious atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

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

“Friendly staff! Food is awesome!!“

“BEEN RIDING DESTINATION FOR OVER 40 YRS NO DORKS!“

“Great food, great service, very friendly. Date night once a week. This was the place for date night every Thursday for many years with my wife. When I brought coworkers for lunch it became at least once a week meetup till I retired. I still go as often as I can to meet friends, family and the great staff.“

“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.“

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

“Been intrigued about the Black Hart for a while, and hey, I'm all for hitting up businesses that are accessible on the lightrail. To my understanding, they're LGBTQ-owned, and give back to local organizations. I visited for the Dining Out for Life event, and they specifically donated 33% of their proceeds to the Aliveness Project, a local organization dedicated to education, prevention, and treatment for HIV/AIDs.

So the Black Hart feels like a dive bar in a lot of ways, it's very old school but immaculate and clean. I was honestly astounded by how not-sticky the bar is. They have a wonderful selection of drafts, bottles/cans, and cocktails (including a soft-serve margarita for $8? Hello?) They recently unveiled a new food menu which features a variety of brats, hot dogs, and vegan brats (but please note, per their Instagram, the oil they use is not vegan. They have a very small kitchen, y'all.) I ordered a Japanese brat, which comes with sriacha, kewpie mayo, and fried onions. I was accidentally served a Korean brat (which has kimichi and gochujang) and they let me eat that for free. Don't sleep on the Korean brat: the kimchi they serve is so fresh and has a sweet taste. Sometimes kimchi can be a little too sour/bitter--Idk who their vendor is, but it was good. The brat is also high quality, excellent texture and seasonings. Their cheese curds were also decent! But don't skip the brats!

Service was great. One bartender holding down the fort, and he did a great job at attending to the customers there and checking in with them. ALSO! PLEASE BE SURE TO ORDER AT THE SIGN! It is VERY obvious and I'm seeing some folks leaving negative reviews on not seeing the sign for ordering??? Babe, look up???

All in all, great business, lovely bar. Don't miss out on the cherry rhubarb cider they currently have on the menu. If there's any feedback I could give? It'd be rad if they put their menu on their website. But aside from that, rad place. They also have pool and bocce bar ($5 for 1 hr for the bocce ball.)“

“Fun vibes, great staff and wonderful drinks!“
