    Prime Rib Dip Sandwich
    Sean P.

    Billy's is a large bar located in downtown Anoka with an outdoor patio. Our experience started off a little rough as it seemed like we may never get seated even with a lot of open tables inside - it just took forever for someone to come and help us! As for the food, it was a bit above expectation as both the wings and Prime Rib Dip Sandwich were good. The wings might even rival those across the street at Serum's as they were much meatier and definitely had a solid buffalo sauce they use. Service did continue to be a bit lackluster, but given the solid food quality, it balanced out to an overall decent experience.

    "Fire" Bone-In Wings
    Danny A.

    Who doesn't love a good 80s feeling, carpeted bar??? Okay, I could probably do without the carpet, but outside of that, Billy's in downtown Anoka is a solid spot for a beer and bar food. Popped in late evening on a Thursday for dinner. Place was relatively quiet with a handful of bar seats open and plenty of tables. I sat at the bar and was promptly greeted and given a menu. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Ordered the "Fire" Bone-In wings which far exceeded my expectations. Downtown Anoka is known for killer wings (I will leave the bar across the street unnamed IYKYK). Nice sized and perfectly cooked. Super juicy, light crunch, easy pull off the bone clean meat. The sauce was delicious and had a solid heat level to it. I'm sold and will be back.

    Margherita flatbread (with some pieces already devoured)

    My sister and I stopped in Billy's for our first time on Sunday. We sat at the bar and found the bartenders to be very friendly and attentive (even with us being somewhat indecisive). We had a few beverages, a margherita flatbread, and a side of fries. We have found that margherita flatbreads can be pretty hit or miss, but Billy's was on point. The fries were great too. We will definitely be back!

    Look for the blue awning on the cool historic building

    Great experience for dinner last night with our table of 7. Great wait service-bringing 2 big bowls of popcorn immediately to the table before the rest of my party arrived. Good food from all reviews at our table! I love the historic building and the spontaneity of this spot. I do enjoy the patio (but it was raining during our visit). When we left, Billy's was starting to rock (so if you want a quiet meal-come early).

    Billy's is a dive bar through and through. When you visit Anoka and you're looking for a place to grab a cheap drink ($3.50 for a Jack and Coke during Happy Hour) and greasy bar food this is perfect for you. The interior hasn't been updated since the 90s and the carpet is definitely filthy after so much free popcorn getting dropped on it. This is definitely a place for regulars but there is a ton of space to sit. We sat by the bar area and our waitress stopped by frequently to ask us how we were doing. The drinks were cheap and the food arrived pretty quick. My recommendation? Go here to hang with familiar friends. This place is not meant for a nice night out by any means. The food is fine, the service is good, and the space is outdated and a little gross. It's all fine, I'm sure I'll be back, but don't make it a must-see.

    Loaded baked potatoe - ala carte, oriental boneless wings.  Yummy
    Jared C.

    Billy's is amazing. They have best food in Anoka in my opinion. Their boneless wings are addicting. Serums is constantly busier but Billy's has better food, less crowded/noisy. Support Billy's!

Upon entering, you will notice a small bar with an adequately stocked bar, featuring about 8 taps and a number of canned and bottled beers for your liking. There are plenty of high-top tables and booths to accommodate a decent crowd. MaGillycuddy's Bar is one of those places that instantly makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy and relaxed, thanks in no small part to the awesome tin ceiling-- it kind of gives this place a vintage charm you don't see often. The crowd is just what one would expect, just regular folks enjoying a libation and watching the Wild game. And they have pulltabs!! We settled in on a high-top table and ordered beers and our lunch. The Nashville Hot Shrimp is a must-try. just the right amount of heat, and packed with flavor. The Guinness cheeseburger is an open-faced burger topped with fries, Guinness cheese sauce, and, of course, bacon. That was a bit messy, and was enjoyable, but there are some other items I will want to try before going back to that entree. Between the solid food offerings, the friendly vibe, and the cool interior, MaGillycuddy's has all the makings of a local favorite. If you're anywhere near Aonka, do yourself a favor and stop in--you won't regret it.

It was a bit of a trek through rush-hour traffic from our hotel but so completely worth the trip. Discretely located through a door marked only by a red light above it we were warmly greeted by gentleman behind the hardware counter. We were prepared to answer with the password to let us in but for some reason it wasn't asked. No big deal. You are then sent through a door into the beautifully dimly-lit space of the speakeasy. There is plenty of seating, with small tables and some booths. We were shown to our table and greeted by one of the great, friendly hostesses. Drinks are ordered directly at the bar with one of the attendants. You immediately pay for your order which will then be brought to your table. Different but really a nice idea. The music was also nicely unique, with a mix of oldies from the 50's and 60's. An old black and white James Cagney movie played silently on one wall. In terms of the cocktails I have to say these are some of the most delicious and finely crafted drinks I've enjoyed. I began with the Start Your Engine, a delicious gin-based drink. My wife had an absolutely fantastic smoked Old Fashioned, smoked in a large box for a minute or two. Wow! Probably the best we've ever tasted. My second drink was another gin cocktail, the Last Word, which I'd been wanting to try for some time. A fine gin supported by green Chartreuse and lime, this was simply sublime. Highly recommended. The bar and menu is quite varied and extensive, so you're sure to find something to your liking. The space has a great vibe and mellow ambiance. Sufficiently dark, cozy and very nicely and eclectically decorated. Service was outstanding and informative. Reservations are recommended. Like many such places you are "limited" to 90-minute timeframes, which sometimes seems like not enough but ultimately works quite well. The quality of the cocktails, space and service all make for a really enjoyable time. Well worth many visits.
