Is it really a beer brat if there's no sauerkraut on top?…read moreWell yea but it's not the same. Freezing cold day and in need of a quick bite running around town yesterday. Skip the drive throughs and hit up a solid choice at @newbohemia we kept is local in St. Paul, but they do have another location in Golden Valley. Something about their @surlybrewing Beer Brat just tastes like being a Minnesotan. Great staff who were helpful and engaging to talk menu choices with. Pro tip: ALWAYS ask your server/ bartender/ barista etc. what they love on the menu. If anyone knows what's the omg thing is it's them. I absolutely love when someone is passionate about the food they are selling at any establishment. If you've been in the industry you'll recognize that sparkle when someone tells you about the have to get thing is their face does this. My delish items that if you're here do yourself a favor and get em are: Surely Beer Brat Truffle Fries (it's a little extra, but does not disappoint) Honey Mustard dipping sauce (homemade, legit) Don't snooze on the table sauces. It's a flavor experience. Spicy Saison Honorable mentions were their homemade ranch and jalapeño aioli and the Juicy Lucy brat for a classic cheese brat vibe.

Went to watch a football game on a Sunday day game. It was a pretty slow day…read more Plenty of TV's Lots of seating- picnic table style Rotates beers/ciders. Has my favorite cider: Downeast Cider *Get the giant pretzel to share* Offer vegan bun and HERBIVOROUS BUTCHER VEGAN BEER BRAT! If you've never had Herb. Butcher you need to! Connected to Truck Park on West 7th. Love that you can go to both bars without having to go outside or finishing drinks Fun days: Event days, summer days- open windows, game days, karaoke, St Patty's Day Bathrooms can get gross on busy days. Spacious bathroom stalls Parking: Metered street parking or ramps. Can get busy on event days/ game days so plan on walking if busy Hotels nearby

The food stands out, because there menu options you normally would not find at a bar. I ordered the mussels, which were good and reasonable in price. A Minneapolis spot that everyone should check out. Pros: - Good food options - Many forms of entertainment Cons: - There was a lingering stink smell. Could have just been something up with plumbing that night

Stopped into Pat's Tap on a sunny Saturday afternoon in October. While I didn't expect a crowd, I…read moredid not anticipate an empty bar. Two trainees were behind the bar, and while they were pleasant, you could tell they were not seasoned bar keeps. Everything about Pats' felt disorganized and transitional. Pats' is purported to have a Packer party on football Sundays. However, there were a few TVs scattered about the space, but the sight lines are not great. Pats' website was cooler than the reality. I was disappointed.

We came here at a pretty busy time, but the server was very apologetic and quick with everything!…read more The FIFA games were on with plenty of room to watch multiple games. I had the All Tapped Up burger which was even better than the server described! One call out I saw was an old lady had fallen on the street. Multiple people were trying to help her get up, but it was one strapping lad from the restaurant staff that came out and lifted her up, literally. He just helped her then went right back to work! I was very impressed by him. If anyone does read this and know who he was, give him all the props!

Always hoppin @grovelandtap in St.Paul, for good reason. Great food. They have done some updates…read moreover the last year or so and have a year round patio out back. The menu has done some recent changes but classics are still there, just make sure to peep the daily specials to see what days some things are available if you're hankering for something specific. With some updates I asked the server their favorite item and went with the suggestion and wow... this burger was top notch. Tapped Burger (it was so tasty and a perfect mix of some sweet in with the salty. Bourbon bacon jam, truffle aioli, white cheddar and iceberg lettuce on a brioche bun big yum factor) Pickle Fries and Homemade Ranch (these are the good good ones. Cut the long way, crunchy batter and really good ranch yes please. NOTE: only there on Thursdays) Sweet Potato Fries and their Chipotle Peanut Aioli (I enjoy sweet potato fries but everyone does them differently so I usually let someone else get them and take a mental note. Went for it and so glad I did. These were PERFECT. Tasted like a real sweet potato was cut and lightly fried to make soft but solid fries, the dip is pretty awesome too, you just gotta get them) Also pictured is their cheeseburger with an extra patty - all of their burgers and sauces are delish. Seriously. not pictured but a classic here is their Chicken Tender Melt (available on Wednesdays) If you haven't been, you gotta. If it's been a while, check out the menu updates.

Sandwiches and booze A Winning combination…read moreIt was worth the wait I was so anxiously waiting for this place to open. It was several years in the making. Been to the one in Madison and loved it. Ton of options to choose from. Really liked everything I have had. Went with the Thai Stick today - chicken teriyaki. Yum! Think my favorite so far has been the Chiesel. Ooey, gooey cheese sandwich. Super nummy. Best part is unlike Subway or Jersey Mike's or any other chain sandwich shop, there is a full bar. The beer selection is not great. Still gets my five stars, though.

i just wanted to say... CHEBA DA HUT!!!…read more i already feel so much better. Ate their sandwich once in LAS VEGAS and enjoyed. My friend swears by Cheba Hut as a cure all for hangovers. I will eat a HUTACHEBASANDO soon.

The entire concept is self serve - indoors: order at a tablet; outdoors: order with a QR code. They also have a self serve tap wall! I like to stop in during warmer months, and enjoy an outdoor spot with my dog. However, they also have TVs on inside and host weekly trivia too! It's always a fun, relaxing night out at Tap Society!

It was time for Town Hall's annual "barrel aged beer" week so of course I had to stop in. They do a…read moregreat job and always have some new recipes every year. All their "non bourbon barrel" beers are really interesting and ended up being really fun. All-in-all I ended up trying 9 beers this year and the only ones I wasn't a fan of was the ice wine. I hadn't had food there before, though. The pretzel is not the type I usually like. It's a denser, paler dough and stuffed with cheese. Personally I'd like a traditional Bavarian or pub one. The sweet potato fries on happy hour were excellent, though. That said: it is blasphemy to serve them with ranch and only ranch. Need a garlic aioli and/or marshmallow fluff to make it a must-order. You know I'll be back. Maybe not for food, but hopefully before the next beer week.

Parking was a legitimate ordeal unless you live downtown or attend the U. The atmosphere was…read moreinviting and felt much better suited for an evening hangout. The pretzel arrived piping hot and was enjoyable, but the fries and aioli were the undeniable standouts. The burger was solid, though it stopped just short of being exceptional. Service was underwhelming. Our server was so relaxed that it came across as detached rather than welcoming.

3.9/5.0 is about right. We've been meaning to stop in for several years and finally did…read more Looking forward to coming back again. The service was friendly and reasonably good. Oh, I had Sloppy Joes. Very, VERY good. I think they were playing 50's or 60's music, but I could barely hear it. That would be my main suggestion for improvement - louder music!! Next time we will park closer to some of the speakers if we can. So happy a place like this exists. We want to start coming often.

Stopped in and ordered the Dilly Don Burger. It was smothered in tangy dill ranch with a nice layer…read moreof classic bar pickles. Simple, tangy, and absolutely perfect. I love a place that actually adds enough sauce so you don't have to reach for ketchup. Fries were crispy, beer on tap was cold and fresh, and my partner's Breakfast Burger with a perfectly runny over-easy egg was spot on. The whole vibe is cozy, laid-back, and exactly what you want from a classic neighborhood dive. There's easy residential street parking nearby, which makes it even better. Definitely come during off-hours if you want to snag a seat, it's popular for a reason. Bonus: it was easily $20-$30 cheaper than any other sit-down meal we've had around here. Perfect dive bar, no notes. Seat yourself. Friendly service.

Miller's got on my radar from Tony Cu's food review video posted on Facebook this week. I looked up…read moreyour website and FB page, and discovered you offer an affordable fish and shrimp basket on Friday's. So sis and I took a drive to our hometown to give it a try. Found off-street parking in a neighborhood close by. We are early birds but we got the last available booth/ table at 5pm. It's a small place so it's maybe 4 booths, 5 tables, 1 hightop and the bar for seating. It is seat yourself. The "kitchen" is also to the side of the bar (like Matt's Bar in MPLS) so you can watch them cook if you had a good seat. There was a "band" (2 people) setting up for live music to begin at 6pm. We had left prior to them starting though. Even thought it was packed, we had plenty of attention from all the staff: waitress, bartender and COOK. Waittress to our order, bartender delivered our drinks, cook verified our order (small vs large onion rings). We splint an order of onion rings. They were battered, not breaded! We prefer battered. They were slightly sweet, crunchy and hot. No dipping sauce offered besides bottled ketchup. Sis got the $11 fish basket with $1.50 lemonade. A dollar fifty for lemonade!! I tried the tartar sauce and liked it. Had a hint of dill. I got the $11 shrimp basket. The shrimp were breaded. Hot and crunchy. No tartar sauce for dipping. They were good but didn't really taste the shrimp, just the breading. I'm not a coleslaw fan but sis said it was good/fine. She couldn't describe the flavor, just that it wasn't Marzetti's (less flavor, no zip). I also ordered a McKenzie's Black Cherry cider. That's hard to find in a bar. It was cold and tart and delicious. Mmm. And only $4.50. Overall, the place was clean, the service was great, the food was good, the prices were awesome. We will definitely be back to try out more of the menu (aka Tony's Firecracker burger). Love supporting small businesses in our local neighborhoods.
