Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery: what do users think?

corey olson: Loved thus place since I started coming in the early 90s. Food and beer was excellent. The carrot cake was the best I've ever had and I dislike carrot cake.

Ryan Farris: They closed their doors permanently this week

Shirley Hockensmith: The food was absolutely amazing!!! Kudos to the chef!! He took the time to ask exactly what I wanted when the order had special requests made it perfectly!! Hats off to the rock bottom brewery for finding an absolute amazing staffing team!!! 👨🏽‍🍳

lauren la croix: Absolutely delicious tenders and fantastic service.Music was great and not too loud or too soft.All together great atmosphere!

Olivier Coulombe: Too bad this place is not as visible on Google Maps, I found it while walking on rue Hennepin! If you like non-commercial beer, this is the place for you!This place is excellent for its beer selection and food! Go Twins Go!

Kelly Faris: I'd give a solid 3.5-4 stars, this place used to be amazing but like with every restaurant, covid has taken a toll on it's menu selection and prices. Food is still very good though, the nachos are a must have and are a meal on their own unless you are sharing with the table! Mixed drinks have always been great so props to the bartenders! Prices seem a bit high but it is downtown MPLS and everything is high priced right now. For two of us, 2 burgers, 2 drinks and nachos it was about $120. For what the food is that seems high to be but it was a treat to be out without our kiddos. I noticed other reviews complain about portion size, it may seem small but in reality it is more than enough food on your plate to fill you up, no one needs to eat that many French fries anyways. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere with clean bathrooms and great people watching if you get a booth by the window! Hostess and our waiter were great and very knowledgeable. Overall it's definitely worth stopping in.

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.

Nick Fox: Мишель - лучший бармен!! Мы с подругой так повеселились на ее дне рождения!

J Porte: Интересное место с местной музыкой

Brandon Jay Rockensock Sutton: . Вчера вечером я наблюдал за группой из четырех человек с вибрафоном. Они знали, как сгладить все перегибы. Толпа оценила чудо буднего вечера. Барная пицца, заказывайте лучше из соседнего дома.Парковка: Многолюдно и популярно. Может быть, припаркуйтесь в квартале и прогуляйтесь или поезжайте на транзитные маршруты метро 11 или 17.

Joe Anderson: Working-class are strongly encouraged to provide their business to this establishment in particular.👍🏻👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

The Terminal Bar: what do users think?

Reya Laing: About a decade ago this place was pretty freaking filthy. Good people. Good music. Just reeeeeally dirty. Laurel, the most recent manager, cleaned it ALL up! It's a wonderful hole-in-the wall dive bar. And it still has good music and good people.Parking: The old Wells Fargo parking lot in the back is free, for now. Very well lit, but unmonitored.Wheelchair accessibility: Yup.

Samuel Brounstein: This friendly, oddballed comedy open mic is still one of the most notorious in town despite its recent purge. At the end of a raucous Thursday the hosts play their hearts out with music.

Renee Jones: My favorite dive bar.The bartenders are great! I usually let my favorite bartender Laurel chose my whiskey for the night. They also have the best gin I've ever had.They have a small Jimmy's menu with delicious pizza and breadsticks. Popcorn and other good dive bar snacks.The schedule has different kinds of events all week. Monday is open mic night for music. Tuesday is Industrial / Dark Synthwave night spun by 2 DJs and music videos on the screens.Thursday is open mic comedy.And Friday and Saturday - local bands from all over the Midwest come play! The sound techs are really great and the crowd is rocking.They have Mrs. Pac-Man, pinball, and darts as well.Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza

mickey m.: Best dive in the cities, favorite comedy open mic by far, the other mics just don't compare. CASH ONLY BAR!! just remember that before you go!Parking: The closed Wells Fargo lot is available

Heather O'Neil: Great place! Super friendly and charming

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!

Vegas Lounge: what do users think?

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".

carri degidio: quite loud but friendly people

Tiffany Brown: Nice dive bar with good prices and friendly atmosphere

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.

The Basement Bar: what do users think?

Ntxhuav Khang: Thursday night, a bit slow but could be cause folks are afraid of a little cool weather here in MN.Was here to support a friend DJ'ing tonight for the bar. Had awesome music, but the crowd wasn't there. The service here is different from what you see from other reviews. Bartender was friendly, food was good - but they close a bit early! You'll end up drinking quite a bit for the night, but that's all ok!Parking is tiny, but doable. There's street parking. The outdoor speakers needs to be turned up a bit to help attract passerbys!Can't really believe other reviews! It was during Covid times, but the atmosphere is decent. Just how you perceive others! You just have to give people a chance at life - they may have an RBF, but let them loosen up a bit then you'll see how enjoyable they are!

Dakota: what do users think?

Beau Larson: Great musical guests, great food and terrific ambiance.

Doug Pletcher: .

Tyler Verding: Great food, cool set up, good music, great service. All around a fantastic experience, will be back for sure!

Jay Smelkinson: This was my first time at this venue. It's a very chill place with everyone sitting down to watch the show. The food was good, especially the broccolini. I sat in the upstairs and had a great view of the stage.

Billy Cripe: The music was great. View from the back of the 2nd floor was restricted so be aware of that. They seemed understaffed because service was very slow.

Colin Monette: If you want to experience what every good big city should have at least one of, a great curated jazz club, check the Dakota. The ambiance is dimly lit and cool. Bit of highbrow, classy. It’s dinner and a show and it attracts world class performers alike.

Noby Powell: Great food and music! Intimate venue.

Tom Anderson: When I am visiting Minneapolis, this is my hangout. Nice staff and strong drinks. Too strong for me but hey that's just me. One suggestion. Drop the Sunday musical tunes and bring back the 1980s music format. I miss Gregg the bartender who passed away...always had a big smile.
