39 Best Craft Breweries near St. Louis Park

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

“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.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“My favorite spot to grab a beer in the neighborhood. Staff has always been pleasant. Really good brews and usually a nice variety on tap. They host community events regularly and their contribution to the neighborhood is felt and noticeable. Wonderful and comfortable space with public transit nearby for accessibility. Handful of pinball machines. Great little outdoor patio. Gender neutral single stall bathrooms. Solid rotation of good food trucks. Great spot for anyone!“

“This is one of Minneapolis's great breweries! There is so much space here and they usually have a fun food truck for goodies to snack on. What I really loved while visiting, was how much effort was put into the Bavarian decor theme. Super fun!“

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

“We were here for the first time last night. A lot of fun, the beers we tried were excellent. A porter and the “Lunchbox”. We had come because one of our favorite food trucks was parked there. Will definitely be back!

The only negative is, there are very few low-top tables. All booths, and all were taken. We just dislike high tops, because getting up and down the high stools is uncomfortable for our old knees. If there were more lower tables, we’d be more comfortable, but recognize this is a personal preference.“

“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.“

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

“Large space. Limited brews, more food than brews which was interesting. The brown ale was great though!!“

“Welcome to the neighborhood Nine Mile!! First timer…loved the beer, pretzels, popcorn. Very knowledgeable staff. Patio was being constructed when we were there, looks awesome. One suggestion, please consider changing the uncomfortable chairs (tables of two) by the windows looking over the patio. Fortunately, we were able to find bar chairs to move to where we met other customers who moved for the same reason. We’ll be back to enjoy the patio! Cheers!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“My favorite brewery! They love their community so much! The beer is always good, staff is friendly and welcoming, always a good rotation of food trucks, and the events they do are a blast! Definitely come check them out next time you're in the area 🩷“

“super fun comedy show & great beer!“

“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 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!“

“I have been to Fat Pants for Weddings, Rehearsal Dinners, and Networking Events. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak at an event at Fat Pants.“

“One of the best breweries in town.“

“Bald Man Brewing has lots of easy parking, ample interior space, large outdoor seating area, and clean restrooms. The beers were really good. We had an excellent brown ale and really good OctoberFest.
We met family there, including several children, and everyone was welcome and had a lovely time.“

“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.“

“Showed up right before brunch was ending and ordered the churros. They were phenomenal. Then after about 16 minutes we ordered from the regular full bar menu and the chicken sandwich was pretty great. I'm sure the beer is all good too.“

“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.“

“I really like Surly's beer but never had the opportunity to visit the Beer Hall. I was warmly received, but not told about restaurant week specials. I enjoyed trying a Mosh Pit Hazy IPA - yummy. I ordered some mahi tacos. They were OK but expensive for what I got. There were no 'sides' I could order! I ordered chicken tacos. It was a small serving of pulled chicken. Again, way too expensive for what I got. Would have liked a side salad or fries. I sat at the bar. Service was friendly and fast. It was a good first visit. Will not be rushing back anytime soon. Too bad.“

“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!“

“They have great beer and a friendly atmosphere! Live music in the summer on the patio or play some games with friends while staying warm inside while having some great brews!“

“Great neighborhood place for laid back vibes that is dog and kid friendly“

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

“We've been on the road every weekend for the last 2.5 months (hello travel ball) and this was the best service we've had in recent memory. Mario answered our question, joked a bit, and made us feel welcomed and connected. Tater kegs were awesome, burger special was phenomenal and kids were happy too.“
