Pryes is hands down our favorite brewery in Minnesota! It's one of those places that works for just…read moreabout any occasion, whether you're meeting friends, spending time with family, or just looking for a fun and relaxed place to hang out. The patio is a huge highlight. It's spacious, well set up, and perfect for enjoying drinks outside, especially in the warmer months. There are games to play, plenty of seating, and a really fun, laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to spend a few hours there without even realizing it. The food is also a standout, which isn't always the case at breweries. We especially love the pizza and the elote fries, both are consistently delicious and pair perfectly with their drinks. It's nice to have food options that go beyond the basics and actually feel like a reason to come back. The staff has always been super friendly and patient, even when it's busy, which we really appreciate. It makes the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. Inside, the space is just as great. There are two levels and games you can play, so there's plenty to do no matter the weather. Overall, this is one of our go-to spots and somewhere we find ourselves coming back to again and again.

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.

What a find. This pub is kind of tucked away in a district with a lot of craft beer options. They…read moredo a great job with signage so just follow the signs! We popped in on a winter Friday night and found the place to be pretty quiet. They do offer a happy hour but not on Fridays. We enjoyed all of the beers we had plus enjoyed the pickle wings, and some other apps. We're excited to go back when the patio is open!

We had a fantastic Saturday lunch here!…read more First of all, the parking: parallel parking must be done on the surrounding streets. We lucked out to find a parking spot very close, and the restaurant wasn't even busy when we were there. I can only imagine parking is quite a challenge at busier times of day. We had a cozy booth. I had a view of the streetside windows and the dining room. Music was at a pleasant low volume in the background--we had no trouble talking and listening to each other. Our server, Lali, took good care of us. We were never left wanting and empty dishes were cleared promptly. Everything came out at an ideal pace, too. My husband had a beer from on tap. I was very happy that they had a couple kinds of cider, so I had one from Minneapolis Cider. We ordered poutine as our appetizer. It was fantastic, and a massive serving! My husband had the brisket philly for his entree; brisket is one of those meat cuts that is tricky to get right, as it easily gets too dry, but the cook absolutely perfected it. I had the smoked trout and greens bowl, which was no only delicious, but was also a feast for the eyes. I have never had trout prepared like this before, only salmon, and this dish was quite special. Just a wonderful place. I can see why it is so highly reviewed.

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.

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.

Storm King is a brew pub ever since of the word. Their beer menu is extensive with all of their…read moredifferent brew varieties. The bartender told me that the go to was their Czech Pilsner and so that's what I had. It is light and smooth, very easy drinking. I'm impressed that they have a wide selection of stouts and IPAs and wheat beers to cater to anyone's taste. The food menu is limited. The food ordering process is really fast casual. You order at the bar and then they deliver your food to the table in cardboard basket dinner where is plastic and you bring your condiments to the table you choose. I wanted to try their wedge salad as well as their slider flight. The wedge was unique because rather than using iceberg, they use Romain, which actually was a nice change of pace for a wedge. It was good. The onions and tomatoes were diced, the dressing was thinner than most wedge dressings, but it was flavorful. The two pieces of bacon on top were whole and quite frankly might've been better if they would've been chunked the smaller pieces as well, but that's not a major issue. The slider flight comes to three sliders. One is a smash burger , one pulled pork, and one is chili chicken. The rolls are fresh and akin to a Hawaiian roll. The Smashburger was a good basic burger, the pulled pork was decent. And the chicken chili, was a shredded chicken that was spicy, but not too spicy. They were easy to eat and enjoyable. All in all the food was good, but not extraordinary. They were satisfying. You're not going to see a Michelin star given to StormKing anytime soon, but that's not the point. If you were looking for a quick easy to eat meal and a really solid selection of micro brews that you won't find anywhere else, the Storm King is worth a try.

They have options outside, booths, tables and bar seating. You have to order at the counter than they bring you your food while drinks/beer are given at the bar. We order some apps consisting of chips and salsa and an order of wings (3). I had an aperol spritz which was delish and had those fun summer vibes. The staff were friendly. The chips look definitely homemade and maybe made fresh when ordered. The salsa is more like a pico and tasty. The wings were good and came with some celery and ranch. They are the whole wing so you'll have to work for your food. Great atmosphere in this neighborhood and fun place to hang out. Parking can be difficult if you're headed down during a twins game. No parking lot, just street parking. They also have a cart of games to play if you're interested in that. I was eying the uno card but didn't have any takers in my party to play against.

Everything was seamless and professional, organized and helpful. From my very first conversations with the event staff, I was never told "no". They were able to accommodate our needs, timing, food, additional vendor and the event went off without a hitch. We especially enjoyed the roped off area outdoors as we got a perfect weather day for our event. Drink selection was fantastic, appetizers were good, buffet dinner was fabulous, and the staff was top tier. Special shout out to Bri who was incredibly attentive, available and communicative throughout our event. Thank you, thank you. Would recommend over and over.

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!'
