33 Best Bars in Fargo

“Best burger in the FM area! Try the Rajun Cajun! It’s so simply yet SO delicious!“

“Best burgers Good beers Great toppings“

“fantastic trivia on Tuesday nights“

“Real good dive, the stumplifter is a great cocktail. Like the daily specials and all the little things they have that tie the bow in this place. Mug nite is a good touch too. Good unassuming place with a super friendly staff. My one compliant is everytime I've gone through the offsale is that there's always the strangest people inside or around the area. That being said, it's not at the fault if Chub's, it's a weird part of town after all. Anyway they were playing Casino on TV and I saw Tua get his 3rd or 4th concussion here so I whole-heartedly recommend Chub's!

“It was the first time axe throwing for everyone in our group. We had a fantastic time.“

“Ellie and Tyler make the best cocktails in town. They are fantastic. One of my favorite bars in Fargo-Moorhead.“

“Day time bartenders are always awesome!! Good lunch specials“

“Great atmosphere and staff“

“loved all the shows I have watched there. the chairs stink tho.“

“First time visiting this restaurant and I loved it. The decor is really cute and modern and there is great art up on the walls. There is also a cute photo wall! We went for lunch and I ordered El Tres off the lunch menu. It was delicious. I also thought there was a ton of food for a really reasonable price. The staff were all friendly. There was a guacamole station that could make fresh guac at your table. We didn't try this, but I plan to in the future.“

“So fun! Great owners! Ask bartender, Matt, for the Matinee shot! :)“

“Definition of what one would consider a dive bar. That title is only accurate when describing the low number of patrons and dark corners throughout the interior booths. Service was friendly and prompt. Easy to strike up a casual conversation with the gals working. The ratio of server to patron allows for drinks to flow continually. Employees whom one can see enjoy performing. Some may go as far as to call Specks Bar, a hidden gem.

Parking: Easy to find a spot as Specks bar has a couple hundred yard area on the backside which extends to the rainroad“

“great lunch spot...daily specials!“

“Great food and beer list.“

“Great atmosphere. relaxing, bright and open space. very modern. The drinks are 5 stars for sure. Nice patio with pond and fountain.“

“I was in for lunch on Saturday. Place looks great. The food was tasty, their fries are really on point, maybe the best in town. Molly the bartender was great. She had a good rapport with her customers and did a good job of checking in with everyone despite being the only person there. It kinda felt like what I would imagine a modern version of Cheers would be, which is not something you would expect from a hotel bar.“

“Best bar in Fargo-Moorhead. Good vibes and usually a low-key spot (weekends can get wild though!) which is perfect for anxious people like me! All of the staff go above and beyond to make sure you’re feeling welcome and safe. Make sure to order a Danny Special™️ if he’s behind the bar!!“

“Ethan my favorite bartender in all of fargo, hes the Bees Knees! His friendly face always remembers my drink and serves it with a charming smile! check him out for his quick and efficient service.“

“Quintessential dive bar. However, whereas some dive bars are filled with xenophobic locals, this bar warmly welcomed these two outsiders. Has everything a dive bar needs. Virtually no windows. Dark atmosphere. Old bar. And good beer selection at cheap prices. If you look up dive bar in a dictionary, they could have a picture of Duffy’s.“

“Very relaxing environment“

“😀Brought my 5 year old grandson and he LOVED the entire experience and really enjoyed the waffles“

“The food was really good and the atmosphere was pretty laid back! Will be returning!“

“The girl with the Leg Tattoo was very sweet and provided great service. I asked if I could turn the firepit on and she said it was too windy and was a fire hazard to which I obliged and didn't throw a temper tantrum for being told no. Also very cute bartenders.“

“Really great staff, everyone is friendly and even on busier nights they are fast at making Delicious drink. I would say everyone has to check out the live from Thursday - Saturday nights, specials all the time mixed with Excellent service.

Parking: The parking lot is big, and there is a second lot/overflow right behind the building.“

“Cowboy Jacks was such a good addition to the downtown area. It's nice to see how much work they put into their country style atmosphere, with the decorations and tables. I love the happy hour special, which is daily for half off apps and $'s off beer and typically make it in once a week. Staff is always very friendly and goes above & beyond to remember your drinks if they see you enough.“

“if you wanna drink before 11am this is the place! great service, and a "bar dog"“

“Me and my girlfriend came out tonight (on a Saturday night) after waiting 30/45 min at a Applebees with no sign of seeing a table…walked in to be greeted right away by a hostess and was seated right away. Food was AMAZING staff was as friendly as they come greeting us as we walked in and telling us to have a good night on our way out. Food was 🔥 🔥 10/10 from the Stars ⭐️ we will be back out for more BBQ for sure!“

“Great spot... Awesome food and a cool vibe“

“drinks are solid jalapeño poppers were fantastic pinball machines work but are absolutely filthy on the playfields. they very badly need new balls, cleaning and waxing.“

“Good food , service not so much !! was slow on Wednesday when we ate there at around 1230 pm ..they need to work on there service and not look so crabby I work in the restaurant business myself!!“

“My wife and I came here Saturday evening. As usual I was impressed with the atmosphere of Granite City. It has a nice upscale modern feel too it. We were seated quickly, where in the past even during slower times we have had to wait a little bit. After being seated our drink orders were taken quickly and I was happy to see they had an Octoberfest Menu. I ordered Spaezle (Pasta) with a Pork Schnitzel. My wife ordered the pot roast. The presentation of the food was very professional. The taste however of both our meals were overpowered with salt. It was not enough to return the meal but it was enough to make a comment to our waitress in hopes this is passed on to the kitchen.
Overall our experience this trip was nice and pleasant. The prices are fair and what one would expect.“

“always love this place and thier foxy lady drinks! We went there tonight on Valentines Day and they were short staffed due to 2 of the 4 waiters didn't show and PACKED, this did NOT slow them down one bit! Our waitress didn't skip a beat and on top of that suuuuper friendly! ❤️ I hope she found time to breathe tonight. Man she hustled, super impressed! Keep doing what you're doing coz yall rock it!“

“Hands down, two of the best soups I've ever tasted! Lasagna soup? Who knew! Then I went for the Shepard Stew soup! Mind boggling delicious. Sheri was a fabulous waitress. Kind, courteous, and unbelievably patient with my indecisive self. The menu is nothing I'd ever expected in a truck stop! If you're tired of the fast food BS in most truck stops, this is a must see to believe. I'll definitely be coming back.“
