Karaoke Thursday was lit. Great layout, great bar, 3 pool tables but one was br9ken and one takes your money. Middle one works. But still great vibes. Bartender gave money back. Only pan pizzas after 10pm. The pool side plays music and u cant even hear karaoke on other side of building if you're not there for that. Very spacious. Good crowd. A fave pic right under Minneapolis instead of places in downtown. Visiting from Nola, holllaaa! read more

Babe's Hometown Bar - Red beer. Billiards. Karaoke Thursday. Visiting from Nola. Fun! - Bars Near Me - Lakeville, Minnesota

See all

"Babes Music Bar", I've been a patron for 20 years and never heard any music! In all fairness, I haven't stayed up past 8:00PM in 20 years either so.... Babes is a great spot for sports, drinks and bar food. A great selection of tap beers anchor the bar that is "manned" by very efficient and friendly ladies. Everything on the menu is done well and efficiently. Before COVID and the ensuing stupidity, they had free popcorn! As our COVID memory gets fuzzy, I hope they bring it back. Babes is also where I saw my forest Friday night Meat Raffle and was instantly addicted. I think I paid $359 a pound for pork chops (I'm perennially unlucky!) but that's on me and I had / have a ball! read more

Great dive bar with darts and friendly bar service! We didn't order food but the vibes were vibin' on the bar side. read more

Babe's Hometown Bar - Darts - Bars Near Me - Lakeville, Minnesota

Ordered the quesadilla today for brunch. Best I've ever had. first time trying it, but it won't be the last. Our waitress Kelsey was very accommodating and friendly as usual. My family has been coming here for many years and we've never had anyth8ng but great food and service. read more

Food...excellent. Service...the best. Fun bar. Pull tabs were a disaster but that's my fault. Our bartender, Taylor was great.

Best food and bloodies around. The wait staff is great. We had Kelsey for our server on the patio and she's awesome.

I've been here a few times over the years. Last time I enjoyed my burger way more, not sure what happened, maybe a new cook? Looks like they are doing some renovations on the inside, definitely needed as well as the out side. Great service though! read more

They sprung a 3% service fee on the final bill. Why not just charge 3% more for the food? Shady and sad.

Well hello. Ever find a diamond right under your nose. Moved to Lakeville area a few handfuls of years ago. Visited nighttime during band blare and noisy crowds. Not so much. That was for the twenty something me. Now, Grandma Mae found her time slot. Lunchtime! Okay the real prize is the server and the chef. The 5 star chef in the back? Well, wish he would of came out to see us. That guy was my hero. "The special" was the best sandwich of my life. "Oh yah", like Guy Fieri would say. As far as can go, keeping it a secret, what was the Wednesday Special At Lunchtime? Shhhh! Thankful my friend picked here to eat. As hungry people, we agreed, awesome bar food. The server and bartender, Bree, oh Yah she is awesome. Amazing and fun. The real deal. Thank you Babes. Mae read more

Good night at babes never any problems! It's always a good time especially with the bartender Desi!

Best cookie skillet I've ever had. Couldn't take a picture of it because we ate it too fast

First time here today. The food was sub or at best the service was poor. The sign said seat yourself after 30 minutes no one came to our table I had to go ask a server for a menu. The salad I ordered was absolute garbage, wish I took a photo. Since eating only a 1/3 of it I've been vomiting non-stop! Fun! Food was over priced too. Would NOT recommend this place at all. read more

Great service. Short wait for food. Good value and tasty food. Dependable neighborhood restaurant. Always run into someone we know.

We sat for 15 mnts with NO menus, NO drinks, NO ANYTHING! Service sucks! Watched servers walk by the whole time, only one asked us if we had been helped, we said no, still ABSOLUTILY NOTHING! Effing JOKE! read more

This place has some dickweed that likes booting people before they get to tab out. My friends and I were out last weekend until bar close, after coming out of the bathroom, we understood it was time to go, I waited at the bar to close my tab, and somebody came walking through hooting, and hollering to get the fuck out. I told him I did not have the opportunity to close my tab, he said your tabs been closed for you now leave. Unprofessional, and confrontational, will not be back read more

Live music, very crowded. Not the best for watching sports Atmosphere: 3/10 Customer Service: 2/10 Drink Menu: 2/10 Food Menu: 3/10 read more

Overall good food, onion rings were a bit soggy, I truly do recommend the Italian sandwich it's delicious, the water is great and I usually hate water at restaurants. The place has a weird stench in the corner with all the games. Service was ok only 2 servers at the time but it wasn't very busy. It has a great atmosphere I went over to the corner with the games to try out guitar hero an absolute awesome game I tried to put in a dollar but the machine wouldn't take it no matter what side or corner even though it clearly accepted cash money so I had to go get some quarters from the bartender. Overall decent place 8.5/10 read more

The Bouncer staff (Short little Paul Blart) is out of control, I went on Friday with a group and had a couple of Beers, minding my own business and enjoying the Band and was asked to leave for no reason given , so our whole group left.The Band even wanted us to stay. Fuck this place, get new management read more

Babe's in Lakeville is amazing! Great food, great prices, great drinks, great staff. Nothing missing!

Always a great place for good food and great service especially from Katie, Lisa, Emily, Niki, Taylor, Mallory & Maggie.

Annoying bar. Slow services. Unorganized. Annoying people. Don't recommend eating or drinking here. I'd believe this place won't last more than 24 more months. read more

I went here today for the first time in years and am surprised to see the overall rating, as I was pleasantly surprised. Despite being busy, the service was good, and the food was much better than I expected. We got the tater tot kegs and the black and bleu burger with sweet potato fries - both delicious!!! It is definitely more of a dive, so if you're looking for a nicer atmosphere, this isn't the place. But for a nice casual environment and good food, it's the right place to be. We will be back! read more

Just don't even bother! Bartender was very rude and argumentative. 0/10 don't recommend read more

-10/5 ....Was standing at the bar with my husband and an older gentleman had him kicked out because he was in his spot that had been his for 25 years. My husband was just STANDING ordering a beer and a water for me. Security escorted us out and the older gentleman did not have to leave. This establishment is a joke they said they have had issues with him before and are trying to get him banned yet we only had to leave. Worst management ever! read more

It's kind of gross, stinky, neighborhood bar. I'm not sure if they cleaned the floor from the night before. I was not excited about coming here for Fathers Day but that's where Dad wanted to go. The table was dirty... The upside was our server. She was super nice and very attentive, contrary to what some if the other reviews said. I felt like she should work somewhere better. The Bloody Mary was really good, I'll give them that! We had food, against our better judgement. Burger was overdone and flavorless. Fries were all right. We also shared a sampler platter which was eh. I thinks it's more for just drinking. I probably won't return unless my pops makes me. read more

Where do I even begin....Love this bar and the staff is even more amazing!! Every time I go in they treat me like family. Can't wait for things to open back up and enjoy their "Red Bull tropical tequila" with Don Julio, OJ, Lime and tropical Red Bull :-) read more

We came in on a Saturday night after an 8th grade hoops tourney with a large group of teens and parents. The food, drinks, and service were excellent. All the games were on the numerous TVs including the NBA all star 3 point contest. Fun vibe and energy to the place for sure and we'll be back. read more

des changed my life with this des shot. she works Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays guys. I have never cried over a shot a day in my life until now. I'm telling you guys, this shot is so good! order one from her and thank me later read more

Went for bingo. Sat in a section where the hostess said well you may be able to hear the numbers called , and we had been seated in the bar. Waited A while for our waiter to take food order. Food was very subpar. Not hot , flavorless. Otherwise meh! Bingo was going on, plus the added meat raffle. Way too much happening . Plus too many bingo games and annoying loud drunk people as the night went on. Sorry Babes. Your food sucked and will never be back. read more

we we love des and the des shot. des is the best bartender ever!!!!!!!! and she's hot. best shot ever!!! read more

0 Stars this place wouldn't allow a wedding party, because they were too stubborn in keeping it empty. Horrible staff and and horrible ownership. I hope this place closes and new ownership moves in! I was so disappointed and embarrassed that I invited my friends read more

Babes is our new favorite Karaoke hot spot! The service is great and staff is better. It is a small town feel and everyone participates in karaoke so you get a little bit of everything. read more

If I could give a zero star, I would !!!!! Babe's Music Bar......so disappointing!! You walk in and the first sign you see is no reservations, first come first serve. We made sure to get there early 5:30 so we could get a table. As we stand there, we see plenty of open tables, but we were not able to sit at the open tables because they were reserved for friends and family of the servers/hostess. One of the patrons in front of me said, "the tables are seated at the servers discretion". The table we were seated at was the only unreserved, undesirable table right by the swinging doors the servers come through constantly and prior to us sitting there, they were rolling silverware and cleared it off for us to sit there. We said to server/hostess, this is ridiculous and were asked if we wanted to see the manager and we said yes. The manager (Bre) informed us that we made a 15 year old cry when she was just doing what she was told. Then she proceeded to kick us out on the spot and tell us we are no longer welcome at this place. If a business does not plan to follow their own rules, then don't proceed to kick out customers because a server "cried" when the confronted with the fact the company is not following their own rules. You kicked out a long time customer (10+ years) and you tell us we are not welcome back. Sorry I am not someone that just sits back and says Oh well!! If a person or company can't follow their own rules and then make it seem like it is my fault, you need to ensure "ALL" your processes are in place. You had a sign up for everyone to see, but your main focus was reserving tables for friends, when you had no idea if and/or when they were coming. I, as well as others, odds are, adjusted schedules to ensure we would enjoy a pleasurable experience, but were extremely disappointed. We never once raised our voices to the hostess/server and the Manager (Bre) came over and never even asked what our issue was. She (Bre) came after me saying that we made a 15 year old cry and were instructed to leave and never come back. I will note this a second time, we never once raised our voices, nor did we say anything derogatory to the hostess/server. And as we walked out, the 15 year old that seated us was perfectly fine and assisting others, with no tears in her eyes. I have worked for the same company for 25 years, been in management positions, and have the understanding that the customer is always right. I also know there are exceptions to the rule, but I have never been treated in a manner that I was treated tonight, especially by a manager. For us to ensure we got there early enough to get a respectable table and to be treated the way we were was totally unacceptable. I highly recommend staying away from this establishment, as they only care to cater to the friends of their employees. Please remember that when times get tough. As long as I can get one person from attending your establishment I will be happy. For your manager (Bre) to treat people the way she does is totally unacceptable and you really need to take a look at who your management is. Thank you. read more

Babe's recently switched up their menu. So far, they're off to a great start. Seems like they're stepping up their game to compete with the other restaurants in town. I'm okay with that. But before you raise the prices on us, there are a few other things that should be ironed out first. 1) Update the decor. Menu overhaul should be the last thing you touch after you fix up the decor. 2) Get rid of the video games and pinball machines. 3) Clean up the bathrooms. Clean bathrooms = clean kitchen. I could go on. But start here first. then we'll talk more. I'm still giving this establishment 4 stars because I think there's potential here. Keep up the good work. read more

We stopped in here today for happy hour, I was surprised at the quality of the food and the cost of the cocktails. The fellow yelp review orders have not given this place many stars. Now granted it was 330 on a Wednesday afternoon but the service was outstanding the food came out quick it was hot and it was really good. We had walleye fingers, poutine, Fried pickles, and chicken wings. The food all came out together and it was terrific. The drinks were three dollars apiece which was an excellent value. If you're in downtown Lakeville and you're looking for a neat little happy hour place I would defiantly recommend stopping in here. This place could get crazy at night they have a large dance floor as well as a large stage and I'm sure that they host fairly large entertainment. read more

Unlike another reviewer we're a bit negative on the updated menu. Broasted chicken? I can pick that up at Hy-Vee or Cub on my way home. Eating on a metal tray? Flashback to boot camp in the Marine Corps... no thanks. Wish them well, and hope they update the interior. read more

Haven't been here in years. Live about 25-30 miles away. Browsing restaurant locations Babes popped up! Says if we join their club that we get a free appetizer. Saved the coupon to my phone. So happens this can not be used with a daily special. Even though kids eat free is not a coupon. It's a daily special. We would never have ordered the appetizer had we known. So I am a bit ticked off. Food has always been good. Just seems to me that it should say some where online under daily specials that a coupon can't be used!! Very nice waitress!!! Found out Pan o Prog was going on and I couldn't get potatoes with my meal. That was totally fine :). But now they let me use my coupon!! I will be back! read more

I've given them 4 chances, so this last food order did it for me. Raw buffalo wings, with no sauce! Fresh chips with onion dip....... came completely crushed! Chili came barely room temperature! read more

We just tried to go there for dinner and was told they were not seating people right now. We asked to be put on a wait list and she told us they were not taking names and told us to go down the street to another restaurant! I've never heard of this before! Very poor customer service!! We will not ever go there again! read more
