This place is 3 stars. The bartender was lovely. The beers were cheap and tasty, I had the organic…read moreBlack IPA and the Cherry Chouffe which comes in a 8 oz pour because it has a high ABV. Both were delicious. I like dark beers and these two didn't make me feel fatigue or heavy / bloated. The vibe is a little grunge, a little beer hally, and a little rock all combined into one. They have a ton of live music throughout the month although my trip, which was 530pm on a Tuesday didn't include any. They have a garden / smoking section out back with 3-4 picnic benches that felt really huge. I could definitely come back and would even consider a show here. Reason why I knock it down from 3 stars to 2 is because when we walked in, one of the managers gave us such a dirty look. And when we said hi, he gave a half hearted smile and turned back to doing his audits. Sure, everyone has a bad day. And perhaps he was reacting to something different. Nevertheless, I was ready to get my drink and be out. Was hungry and wanted food but decided rather spend my money elsewhere.

We actually tried to get into the Side Car next door, but they couldn't fit us all and asked us to come here. Highly recommend the Tenderlion Bites If you love cremini mushrooms, crispy onions and teriyaki glaze as much as I do. It was a bit pricey at $17 but it was delicious. I really love coming here in the summer when they open up the windows that function like garage doors.

Service was attentive.

The steak salad was ok since I had asked for medium well but it was well done and touch to chew. I like the cherry lager beer. Very quiet sober not a lot of people as we were close to closing time. It's nice that it's not too far from our house.

The menu is nicely…read morevaried and includes a lot more options than the typical pub or beer bar (though it includes some of that standard fare also). The beer list is one of the best in the Twin Cities, and the selections rotate quite frequently. The bartender is always attentive and food comes out promptly. Parking can be a bit of a challenge at times, with cars lined up for hundreds of yards down both sides of the street. I've learned to drop off my "date" and have her place an order for me so that it arrives when I do!

Insert Beacon Public House, a true hidden gem and must-visit if you're in the neighborhood. While yes, it is inside of the now Graduate Hotel, it stands alone as a quality eatery regardless. Parking in this area is super tough, but it's right off the Light Rail station, so that might the most ideal plan. A few spots are available outside if you're lucky! The interior is well decorated with large booths spanning one wall and plenty of tables covering the rest. Mostly college student servers, but they've always been great when I've headed here for a bite! American food, well done and not pretentious, fills out the menu! On my most recent visit, I enjoyed the Short Rib Dip with Sweet Potato Tots! The large portion of meat and cheese were perfect for dipping in the accompanying au jus which also included caramelized onions stacked inside. The tots were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, which offered a lovely sweet/savory pop between bites of my sandwich. Can't wait to come back and try something new!

While the ambiance of a sports pub was different for breakfast it was appreciated during FIFA World Cup. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to the price.

Could have just been something up with plumbing that night

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.

Pulled up at the bar on a Friday night for a beer, burger and some Brussels sprouts. Service was…read morequite good and the bartenders took good care of me throughout my experience. Food came out quick and was pretty good. I ordered the 819 Old Fashioned burger and the apple glazed Brussel sprouts along with a beer. The 819 Old Fashioned Burgee has historically been one of my favorite burgers of my area. It has apricot jam, Brie, bacon and caramelized bourbon cherries. It was pretty solid, but I noticed halfway through it was missing the cherries, a key piece to the puzzle. Still, the burger was pretty solid. The apple glazed Brussel Sprouts were good, I wasn't sure about them at first to be honest. I had a feeling the sauce and Brussels weren't the right fit, but they quickly grew on me and I came to really enjoy them. I did however feel as though the Brussels sprouts were a little under cooked and were still a bit hard on the inside, still delicious. Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner at the bar, made even better with NCAA basketball playing on all the TVs.

Whoa. I've been such a fan of Craft and Crew. Since the manager at The Bloc in SLP helped my family…read morewith a to-go order in February that was beyond amazing, I have been super loyal. Every time we eat out I suggest a craft and crew spot. I bought gift cards. I ordered catering from Duke on 7 last week. Today I went to Pub 819 with my 4 lb chihuahua...and suddenly I was treated like a problem customer. Because of my dog, when I've checked in at the front, they sent me around the outside to the back. So I've been adamantly respectful of that. When I told my family I was at Pub 819 and they should order Friday dinner to go from there, they trusted me. When my brother in law pulled in at the back of the restaurant in the rain, I stepped in to bring them their food from the front. The manager of Pub 819 came running along the route to the back entrance and took my fresh drink out of my hands. I told him I was following their orders to walk along the outside of the building to the back so I didn't walk through the restaurant with a dog. He said "we were cutting you off anyway." Ummm...what? That was never even an issue. Very random. I wanted to bring business to a local operation. So much for good intentions. I was humiliated. He took my drink out of my hands as I was trying to bring my family their food. I wasn't going to argue with him so I just left. It was an awful experience that completely soured my view of the Craft and Crew family. I tried to support local, but I ended up embarrassed in the alleyway looking silly.
