Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge: what do users think?

Jay Shen: . And decorations were also in alignment with its tiki theme.The pizzas were pretty good as well! They were relatively smaller in portion but tasted good. I wouldn't consider food as a review priority for this place because it is mostly famous for its drinks and atmosphere, and both are nothing short of great!I will miss all the memories from this place as it has allowed me to socialize with others in relaxing manners on summer days.

K. Tsoutsoulis: This was a unique bar & foods tiki bar experience.A decent selection of cocktails, with mythologies for each drink, and exactly 1 NA cocktail, but it was a good one.As for food they were complimenting the drink, and not meant to be full meals. The tots, with special dip were pretty good, the sliders were tasty, and had flavour.If you came here in the summer, you had a wait for anything, which is just had to be accepted, the wait staff were always doing the best they could, and there were a lot of tables.Outside in the summer & fall was where it was at, even if you didn't get too much of a view of the river. The atmosphere was what it was all about.Sad to see this go, among unique, quirky, and fun places to go.

Dawn Hilgers: Wish they weren't selling the restaurant. But where can we buy the tiki decorations from Suzi's? When's the auction.Atmosphere: 5/5 …

Prim Ilagan: Psycho suzi is an okay Tiki Bar, by default since it’s one of the limited Tiki Bars in MN. It has a large nice patio along the river for warm nights. Inside the decor is 70s tiki with bamboo and palm top to bottom. The carpet is neat- printed wood planks. There’s a sizable drink menu but is not served in Tiki Mugs unless you decide to purchase the mug. We had pizza, it was okay- nothing special. Drinks are below average. Ambiance is fun but not much else going on there.

Prohibition Bar: what do users think?

Lynn Martin: We went early, around 7pm, on a Friday for a cocktail. Loved the atmosphere, the view and attentive, friendly service. The drinks were beautiful and tasted fantastic. It was a great place to sit and chat. I can understand how going early is key to finding a place to sit and enjoy the view. Seating is limited. We did not eat there so I can't comment on the food.

Palmer's Bar: what do users think?

Brian Wene: Palmer's is a great place for live music because from anywhere in the bar you can easily see the band onstage. Drinks are not terribly expensive and the bartenders are very nice and the live music is always great! I highly suggest giving Palmer's Bar a visit. You will not be disappointed and you will be planning your return.Enjoy!Dietary restrictions: Items fitting certain dietary restrictions are available.Kid-friendliness: All ages events are common here.Wheelchair accessibility: The bar is accessible to those in a wheelchair.

Nick Hook: Palmers Bar consistently manifests that rare mix of high-end, quality ingredients, creative mixology, attentive, knowledgeable wait staff and quietly-upscale atmosphere. All these elements work together seamlessly to ensure each Palmers patron's experience is an understated, singular joy.Vegetarian options: Panko-encrusted yam brisketKid-friendliness: The ball pit was hygenic and fun!!

Bill Marshall: In a really bad area DON'T GO AT NIGHT UNLESS YOU WANT GET ROBBED WHICH IS A GOOD CHANCE IT'S A NO-GO ZONE IF YOU'RE SMART 🤓

Damon Clare: It's a vibe

Drake Friesen: Great local music spot!

d Davis: A bar like PALMERS represents what a bar/tavern should be like. All sorts of characters come and go. A teacher, a parent, students, retirees, blue collar folks, criminals, republicans, future criminals, democrats, alcoholics, recovering this or thats, white, black, brown and other. It’s about sipping a drink and talking with whom ever is on a barstool close by. Sharing stories and learning some stuff and most likely you’ll have another just to stay a little longer. A lively patio out back that gets more interesting into the night. Eclectic and diverse live music all year round. I won’t call it a dive bar and it’s not quite a club if anything people come here cause they need a little piece of love.

Volstead's Emporium: what do users think?

Ben: . It ruined the evening, because the four of us couldn't hear one another talk at all. I like good music, but I didn't come to Volstead's for a concert. We ended up drinking less, leaving early, and failing to enjoy ourselves as much as we planned.

Sarah Hall: Volstead’s — веселое место с отличными напитками, отличной музыкой и вкусной едой. Однако порции первых блюд очень маленькие за такую ​​цену. Рыночное рыбное блюдо за 22 доллара включало около 4 унций рыбы и четверть стакана рисового плова. Кукурузный хлеб за 14 долларов был около 7 дюймов в диаметре. Сервер медленно наполнял воду и доставлял еду. Сходите за напитками и музыкой, но сначала поужинайте.

Club Underground: what do users think?

James Simmons: Been a minute since I’ve been here, but Josh the Meat Beast poured me the best damn Manhattan I’ve had in 10 years…no hyperbole. Last thing I expected at a rock show in a basement. See ya again real soon!

Katelyn Midnight: a tradition i had almost forgotten! The food both nights was delicious bar food, chicken strips, cheese curds and the next night the prime rib sandwich with a rue. I will not forget the fun we had for a long while and I welcome when we return. Thank you all - Staff, Entertainment, Patrons! It was wild fun 😂

dave hoover: Preferable for local shows

Victor Vang: Great place to go clubbing and get together.

Khadijo Ibrahim: Interesting for sure

Benson Benson: Monday Night Comedy Show is a must!

Luis Edgardo Rodriguez: Good places to socialize with you guys

Dorothy Billmeier: Interesting set up. Dark areas which could be good or bad. Smaller than I thought. Great music

Brian Wene: Club Underground is a great live music venue. I've seen many of my favorite local bands play here. Bands such as The 99ers, Active Measures, Les Speedos, Fatal Kaliber, and The Grand Machine. Do stop by and experience a great space with fantastic bands that are usually local talent. Also, a piece of advice:Chat with *Any* of the bartenders because they are great people who have fun conversations!See you at a future show!!

Cuzzy's Grill & Bar: what do users think?

Todd Bavery: In town for the Big 10 Basketball tournament - stopped in for Breakfast on Saturday morning!Highly recommend the Corn Beef Hash! Also, go for the Sourdough toast - really good.Atmosphere is that of a true Dive Bar - which makes the food even better.

Robert Stacy: Cuzzy's has always been an awesome bar. In my opinion, they have substantially upgraded their food quality, though - giving you the 'dive bar' experience without any of the sacrifice. Highly recommend.Parking: You're on your own for parking.

Brett Andresini: Alissa, the bartender at Cuzzy's, deserves the highest praise! Her exceptional service and friendly demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere. Alissa's mixology skills are top-notch, and her recommendations were spot on. The experience at Cuzzy's was elevated by her professionalism and genuine enthusiasm. I highly recommend stopping by and letting Alissa craft your drink – a true maestro behind the bar!

Upstairs Circus MPLS: what do users think?

Maria Crihan: A great crafting place, with a lot choices to do…A nice place to spend time with friends or family. It’s funny and friendly…Even you can celebrate a birthday here..🎊 We definitely will come back 👍🏼…… Not a place for newborns, you don’t have a place to feed or change the diaper, even in the restroom!Parking is a challenge, you need to find one, and pay!

Riana Mefferd: and the customization options

Grace Buddecke: Actually so precious. Be prepared to spend but so worth it. I made a necklace and my partner made string and nail art. Mine took maybe an hour and a half but the nail art took about three hours. So depending on project, be prepared to have a few drinks. They have cute cocktails I got the strong arm punch with st. Germain. Super yummy.I’d come back

Kaela: This was such a fun, memorable experience. My husband and I went here for a date and we both enjoyed it! I chose to do string art and he chose to make a flask. I didn't finish my project on time. However, the staff sent me home plenty of string to finish later.There are tons of different projects for everybody, and the staff members are always around willing to help if needed. Definitely recommend!

K Kenyon: Trevor was super nice and helpful!

Maggie Minge: I went to Upstairs Circus as part of a work outing and it was so much fun! I loved that there was a variety of projects that you could choose from based upon how much time you wanted to spend, your own skill level, your style preference, etc. The full bar doesn't hurt either to boost your artistic confidence😆 Mariah and Margaret were so helpful with any questions we had and made the experience really smooth and enjoyable. I texted my husband and told him we need to return for a date night some time. Highly recommend!!Parking: There is a public paid parking lot at the other end of the block and also across the street. Also metered street parking as well.

Kristen Taylor: make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable time. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, and I am already looking forward to my next visit. :

19 Bar: what do users think?

D Kingston: the upstairs, back patio may be open. It's nice because it's open air up there. They have a new, quarter 'try your luck' style game that is super fun. Almost forgot! Once they reopen, CHECK THEM OUT!Parking: Take an Uber, parking sucks in the Loring Park neighborhood.

Hal Smith: Very friendly and attentive staff!When I first moved to the Twin Cities, I felt very welcomed - especially on slower weeknights when the bartenders took the time to chat with the "new guy" in town.Parking: Street parking is sometimes challenging on busy nights, just like any area of downtown.

Brandon Albright: Burned down as of 3/22

Donald Whipple Fox: . If you want techno, rap, and 2020 music, go west, young man. Want some respect here? Then, be respectful! Such an easy lesson, but so hard for some to understand.

Kai Walsh: . Would be great to have the restrooms not gendered seeing as they bring in a lot of NB and trans customers.

Levi Purdum: It is impressive what they accomplish using dated karaoke technology. Honestly it contributes to the hole-in-the-wall vibe of the establishment. They have many regulars who are experienced and impressive practitioners of the art that is karaoke so even if you don't plan on singing you will get to enjoy a wide range of entertainment. If you do want to sing don't wear Dallas Cowboys or Green Bay Packer paraphernalia and plan to employ bribery.Parking: You will find a place to park within easy walking distance.Wheelchair accessibility: This building was wheelchair accessible, if perhaps not wheelchair "friendly".

CC Club: what do users think?

Terry Young: Iconic. 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon. A few regulars holding down the fort. Bartender says she has no cook but could make us a Heggie's frozen pizza or "fry some stuff." Went with the pizza. It was everything I ever wanted in a pizza. I went because of the rumoured connection to the song, "Here Comes a Regular" by The Replacements. Or The Placemats as admirers often refer to them. Talked with the pool players. They said on weekends the 21-24 year-olds pack the place. But on this crisp spring afternoon, it was just us regulars.

asdf asdsf: Not a nice person. Still giving the bar a 4 because people here are awesome, but this worker is really nasty passive aggressive, the whole "minnesota nice".

Trevyn Paige: CC Club is an institution, so it feels strange even trying to review it. Regardless, I’ll say for those who don’t know that CC is that neighborhood jawn. It’s the spot where you will eventually know everyone, see everything, and always return to like home. It’s a cool old dive bar that does dive non-ironically. This is the real deal and always has been.
