What a great experience! My wife and I visited on a Sunday night and there were a lot of places…read moreclosed on Sunday nights so I was happy to find the Bricksworth. They were open until 11 and had a great beer selection with an inside/outside option. My wife wanted to watch some of the Stanley Cup so we opted for inside. We arrived around 830 and were able to gain a seat at the bar. Bartender was amazing. Very friendly and personable. Based on his interactions we decided to get chicken tenders (Nashville) and fries and a few more beers. Overall this is a great, inviting environment. I can't recommend visiting here enough. Great food and great beer options. This is a stop you don't want to miss! Definitely worth 5 stars.

Bricksworth is consistently the place I recommend people that are in the north loop to go if…read morethey're craving food, or want a really good beer and a great time. Seriously, I've probably had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They have an extensive collection of beers that will please anybody, with some of the best Hazys and best Sours in town, and also cocktails that work for folks that don't want a beer. The patio is superb, and although you sometimes share it with a passing train, it's tucked away and is a nice separation from the business of the surrounding north loop. I'd argue the wings are easily top 3 in the whole state, they're always crispy, and the monthly specials are clearly thought over and iterated on by talented chefs that want to try new and unique things. The pizza is also probably the best Detroit style in the city, try the Elote and you'll see what I mean. Staff is a hoot, they're all super nice, great to talk to, and have honest opinions about their own menu. Seriously, if you're anywhere near the downtown area, go here.

Biked there from my house and had the poutine and the burnt ends. I've had the poutine many times…read moreand it is always good and reliable and a lot of food. But the burnt ends were amazing! Usually I avoid these when eating out because they can be fatty. But here they were pretty lean, and what fat there was was sufficiently rendered down. The bbq sauce with them was as unnecessary but tasty. They also have a killer Tuesday happy hour for their beer, which is excellent. Ans their cocktails are quite good too.

We came here for a Tuesday during happy hour, and were lucky enough to get a table on the patio…read more Our server, Megan, was super friendly and shared highlights from the menu options and HH drinks. We tried the poutine and a barbecue platter to share. Both were good and I loved the juicy BBQ chicken, but the poutine was notable because there was tons of beef as well as the gravy, cheese curds and all on top of really good fries. Our food came out super fast and hot, and my glass of House Cabernet for eight dollars was a generous poor and a nice wine. There's plenty of street parking in the blocks around this area, and there is a cute bookstore as well as a sustainable goods shop that you should definitely check out across the street. I would love to come back here again!

This place has so much space inside to come with big groups or host little events, but it does get…read morereally loud to hear people when you're with a big group. I think more decoration or more character would be good to make this plaza more cozy and personal but overall it's a good space. Lots of tap options that are mainly European inspired brews and some that aren't beer for gluten free folks and otherwise, my only complaint was there was only 1 IPA on tap.

We came here at night and the atmosphere was great! They had on hockey, and the place was packed,…read morebut we were still able to grab a seat. We were here for a few hours playing board games and trying a few of their brews. They were all pretty good tasting! The price is about what expect at a brewery, but the quality was worth it. They have some nice outside seating, and a pizza food truck was there the night we went. This brewery has good vibes and beer!

I enjoyed one THC Wild Water, and one new saison beer called Adventure Club. Both were beyond delicious We also enjoyed the La Choza food truck with sushi and tortilla chips. YUM! Dogs are welcome and there is a HUGE projector for watching sports games. This place is so fun and clean. The staff is friendly and more than happy to help you pick the perfect beverage for you. Cheers

I know Wild Minds Ales is closing so this is kind of a moot point of a review, but I didn't get the…read morehype of Wild Minds Ales. Parking was terrible - it's all street parking about a block away. The "dog" area leading into the brewery hadn't been clean in a long time. Leaving a very gross smell as your first impression. We sat inside with the garage doors wide open. It was nice, but the sun was blinding. More sun coverage or lowering the doors would have been nice. There was only two non alcoholic options on the menu, a THC drink or coca cola. I ended up ordering a sour and boy was it sour. I didn't end up eating at the food truck, but it seemed to be a different one than what was listed on the website. I feel bad they are closing. I never want to see a small business go under, but this was a lackluster experience for me.

This might be a unique need but I am often in need of a small bite in MLPS before I have to make a…read morelong commute home and this is becoming my top choice for that! Their happy hour prices are perfect, portion size is just what I am looking for, service is quick, friendly, there's lots of seating, and mostly importantly, the food is delicious!! Today I just got a HH slider ($5) and fries ($4) and it was delightful. The pulled pork is super well marinated, has just enough coleslaw on top to not overpower the meat, and the crispy fried onions add a nice crunch. Equally I was shocked by how much I liked the fries- shoestring with a perfect amount of salt and crunch to my likeness!! I'm sure the full size portions are good as well, but the happy hour prices can't be beat.

I've been here before, when they first opened. It was only a brewery and a pizza food truck parked out front. So glad they added bbq. They also have liquor as well. Street parking is available, meters only. The brewery looks alot bigger, there was alot of people dining. There's also patio seating. We got in line by the sauces and ordered food, they gave us a number to put on the table and server will bring over.

It has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and both my friends and I absolutely loved it. The beer is great too, with plenty of options to choose from. One thing to know before you go: the upstairs pizza area and the downstairs restaurant are separate, so they have different service. If you're looking for full table service and a larger food menu, you can head downstairs. Either way, it's a fun place with great food and beer, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

They have an extensive beer menus and the staff are always willing to help you find the right beer for you. They also have incredible outdoor and upper deck seating with a pizza parlor! During the warmer months Surly often has live music, games, and other events going on. I highly recommend the beer tours, you get to learn about some of your favorite beers and the company's deep inspiring history! Surly is one of a kind and it is a staple in the Twin Cities community!

Roasted pork tacos, chorizo tacos, and chipotle ranch chicken tacos, and smoked brisket mac and cheese. My favorites were the roasted pork tacos and the chipotle ranch chicken tacos. My boyfriend's favorite were the chorizo, but I thought they were a little too greasy. The Mac and cheese was good but it's hard to impress me with Mac and cheese. For beer I tried the IPA 300 Mango, which was really good!! Also loved the Finnegans Blood Orange. Boyfriend loved the Narc drinks. And we both decided the hop water here is incredible!' Going to buy a whole case next time we go!!! The atmosphere feels so friendly and it's really enjoyable to be here!

It's the perfect kind of elevated comfort food to pair with a pint. The vibes here are always good. It has that classic, energetic North Loop feel that works for a casual hangout or a pre-game spot. Even with a decent crowd, the service was very friendly and efficient, which really adds to the experience.
