50 Best Bars near St. Louis Park

“I’m a local to the area and decided to go to the reveal rooftop to have some birthday drinks, and it was the best decision. The night was great, the atmosphere was great, the drinks and the food were great too. Brian helped to take care of us and he did a fabulous job!“

“My friends and I all LOVED this place!! We definitely splurged a little but it was definitely worth it. My coco passion drink was sooooo good (yellow drink in picture) and don’t get me started on the Brussels sprouts appetizer… SO INCREDIBLY SCRUMPTIOUS. We could not get enough of them. They were a crowd favorite and half off during happy hour :) The mushroom pizza was very tasty as well. We had a wonderful time sitting outside in their well-maintained and plant-filled seating area. I really enjoyed this place and I would love to return :) I recommend giving it a try!“

“Great service. Great atmosphere. Nice way to start an evening out with friends.“

“Great people work and hangout at the SLP American Legion. Good food at great prices.“

“Great place for a child’s birthday gathering! Super family friendly (yummy fries too!). Very affordable! We were here on a Friday evening and it was not busy which made me a little sad for the place. I understand the comments about the guy at the desk, but don’t let that stop you; it’s such a quick interaction. He did end up being very nice and helpful with a couple things we needed (lighter for cake candles and plate and utensils). If you’re looking for somewhere fancy and updated, this probably isn’t the place for you. I would recommend this bowling alley, we’ll be back.“

“thank you for feeding us at saluting branches! the food was top notch! much appreciated!!“

“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!“

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

“Great business that cares about our future, city, and ALL of the people of Minnesota! Viva NightingaleMPLS!“

“We held our company Christmas Party at their beautiful restaurant and had such a great time! The staff were so attentive and wonderful to interact with throughout the whole evening! We ordered an array of food and our employees couldn’t stop talking about how fantastic the prime rib and KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) were! The talk around the shop about this event and the delicious food went on for days! We all had such a great experience from start to finish. They made it so easy to plan, set up, host and tear down. We would highly recommend anyone looking to host a party to come here! Now if you are just looking for a bite to eat for a date night or family night out, they also have you covered. No matter what plans you have this is the spot to be! A huge thanks to Lake and Irving for all they did for us and a massive thank you to Chris the chef! That meal was better than we could have ever expected!“

“What a wonderful place. Staff are so kind/friendly. The food is out of this world!!!! Thank you for the kindness, and hospitality. Great Atmosphere“

“Immaculate machines, and great food. Drink prices are pretty reasonable too“

“always wonderful perfect thin crispy crust perfect ratio of toppings today we had the El Camino - excellent but the spicy arbol chili red sauce was too hot for us we should have asked for mild or just pico de Gallo. our son will enjoy it“

“Great customer service, atmosphere, and cider. Training wheels is my favorite. I’d like to see a Honeycrisp cider.“

“Cool place! 🇺🇸 #StatechaserUSA #YouHaveBeenChased“

“This is a great casual place to grab a drink…..or have some really great food.…or take a gab with your friends (or strangers)… they do have a beautiful community table!“

“Great place to hang out before your flight! Andy is a fantastic bartender. Shrimp tacos were excellent.“

“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!“

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

“Classic Nordeast bar…not many left“

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

“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 🍻.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Flora Room is a gorgeous cocktail bar located behind and beneath Chef Del Prado's steakhouse Porzana. Fortunately, I arrived at 5:30 PM on a Saturday, which was early enough to avoid a line and a velvet rope. I don't wait in line for anything unless I'm at a pharmacy, bakery, post office, or airport. Lines at restaurants and bars strike me as pretentious or bad management, and I don't tolerate either. However, I'm old, and at my age, nothing is worth waiting for unless it's a necessity.

I found a seat at the beautiful and expansive bar and looked around at the Del Prado design. The colors might be different, but Flora was reminiscent of Minari and Noma. All three add to the Twin Cities' cachet. However, I was taken aback by the attire I saw around me. People were dressed in shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers. It's friggen Saturday night Minneapolis. Have some class!

Flora Room was a lovely cocktail lounge, perfect for wooing, but don't expect to strike up a conversation with any of the bartenders. At these Del Prado joints, the staff must be trained not to engage. I'm out alone and enjoy talking. Bartenders used to be part of a lounge's attraction when I grew up in NYC. They learned your name, knew what you did, and gave you a hearty welcome. That, I guess, is not part of the culture in Minneapolis. Well, at least not at the Del Prado restaurants and bars. Chef Del Prado is from Argentina, and certainly, Argentina is one of the warmest and friendliest countries in the world, so I don't get it. I now live up the block from the Flora Room. I'm a neighbor and would like to be treated like one. Neighborly and the Flora Room are distant concepts.“

“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.“

“Small Hours was on my list and although we had little time we could make it for a glass of wine. I loved the atmosphere and how cozy it was. Since I am from Spain I checked both their wine and food menu and I was very pleased with their selection. They closed after we left and Bobby from Phoebe Bridgers started playing - It was just magical to hear it from the very dark street. A 10/10.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“genuinely amazing!

after their location closed in uptown I was missing it so I took my girlfriend to this location and they knocked it out of the park. it was the food and service I adored about red cow in the first place. we were served quickly and the waitress was so adorable, she even packaged my to-go for me and put the date on it. we left a decent tip and she must have thanked us 100 times but it was really our pleasure to have such a good date night. Will be going back!“

“Great food, amazing staff, fun atmosphere!“

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

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

“Great venue! Had free water which NEVER happens at venues. Good sound and service. Will be back for sure! 5/5 stars!“

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

“My first time here, didn’t get food, just house wine 👌🏼 because although things sounded appetizing, I could decide on nothing that night. I’d go back, however, I’d recommend just going yourself and checking it out.“

“The service was exceptional and the food was fantastic. I started with the green curry octopus which was a really excellent balance of flavors and textures. The mango salmon was cooked beautifully and paired nicely with the rice and delicious sauce. It was a meal rich with flavor but not heavy.“

“Amazing food, drinks & service!“

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

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