[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is my favorite weird little hole in the wall. Complete with dark lighting to show off their excellent lamps and moody decor, a good board game selection, and karaoke![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is surprisingly good for a dive bar, I can't get enough of their fries and beer cheese. I recently mixed it up and got the spinach and artichoke dip and was not disappointed! I am a creature of habit and almost always get a cider on tap but they've got a pretty decent selection of beers and cocktails if that's your thing. Service is pretty standard, they're good at checking in if you're sticking around a while for karaoke. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wide variety of karaoke goers here, if it's on youtube you can sing it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you hate karaoke, the other side of the bar is thoroughly separated with a small hallway past the kitchen in between.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Chatterbox Pub - Spinach & Artichoke Dip - Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Came here for a beer (pub pass) and some good conversations and got both. Parking - free on street, very easy when there's no snow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance - kinda hard to describe, it has an old time feeling. They have old booths and lighting but I guess that's what makes it special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service - our bartender/waiter was great! Offered suggestions for my burger and told us about a delicious IPA for our drinks. Food - I had the Hellcat Inferno Burger with BBQ sauce. It was a tasty burger and went will with the Diablo sauce that was at the table. Overall it wasn't my favorite but the food was good. It's been around for over 100 years so they must be doing something right. read more

I love Chatterbox. I normally come just for a drink and a hang. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love that they have games and love their karaoke nights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always a nice beer selection and I love their espresso martinis. All the food I've tried here has been so good. Love their fries and the mac is so good. Servers are always super nice ! read more

If I'm being so for real these were some of, if not the worst, chicken tenders I've ever had. The fries were equally unremarkable. The taste and texture of both was exactly like the frozen kind when cooked in the oven. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I gave one star for ambiance and one star for the kindness of the staff, although the layout is very impractical and the service is quite slow.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food was mediocre at best and heated up in convection ovens of which mine either sat awhile outside waiting for it or it didn't heat up all the way. When it arrived to the table it was lukewarm at best and I had the waitress take it back to be rewarmed, but it came back a little more warm than what it was the first time. My wife's chili con carne was super super hot the opposition of mine. The chatterbox beer was overpriced at $9 a 20 ounce glass that looked more like 16 ounces. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was interesting, chairs, couches, Nintendo 64 gaming areas and enough seating for small and large groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their pizza looked amazing and I think we should have ordered that instead as I saw them go by us to other tables. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was in really bad shape. Graffiti written everywhere, the door lock hinge ready to fall off the door and it could definitely use an update and a paint job[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The bathroom is a shared one. The bright spot is the service which I give it 5 stars, as our waitress was very patient, attentive, friendly, and prompt in everything she did for the night to each and every table she served. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The back entrance door window was cracked as well we noticed on the way out as we were parked down the street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We wished we would have tried their pizza instead as our bill for four of us was $117 and pizzas were under $32 and could have fed four of us. Our mistake but the food could have been made better in my opinion. Not enough mashed potatoes and small portions for $18 & $15 ceramic bowls. They could do a better job of making these or upgrading them with more vegetables. read more

My boyfriend's Reuben meat was dried out but flavorful, "good for beef jerky" he said. Broccoli seemed microwaved, some pieces were hot and some were cold ( he wished he would have ordered French fries!) The bread was thick and dry (he liked it, I didn't.) My Inferno salad was just weird. Our server was prompt with ordering and delivering but then he abandoned us and I had to go to the bar to pay (we had play tickets so we didn't have long.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]The design is super eclectic: 70's garage sale.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was loud and eclectic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place, great neighborhood pub, with board games available![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pretzel and beer cheese appetizer was delicious! We got the Mac and cheese pizza which I did not think was very good... the deep dish crust wasn't good, which I was surprised about, and I don't know it was really hyped on the menu and I wasn't into it.... And I am a big pizza lover especially Mac and cheese pizza. The service was excellent. Nice drink selection. read more

If you can handle a spicy kick, I highly recommend the hellcat inferno salad. It has the initial spice WOW factor but is easily cooled off by the red pepper sour cream and fajita ranch dressing. It's filling, colorful and satisfying - all the things a great salad should be. read more

Chatterbox Pub - Hellcat Inferno Salad - Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Went for drinks and appetizers. Had the house gin & tonic (delish!) and tried the garlic bread also. Sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is cool- people were playing candy land near us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are cool eclectic album covers and black velvet paintings on the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is a vibe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was open mic night, so saw a few people with guitars walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We heard one gentleman's spoken word with guitar accompaniment and it was politically astute and for the moment. Parking was easy on side streets. Would defs come back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a very fun, lil hipster bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Half of it is the bar, the other side is a "fun uncle" family vibe with a small couch corner, big ole TV with some old school video games and regular wall- mounted TVs for viewing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small dark space which can feel a little cramped at times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really enjoyed their funky menu items. Definitely American comfort focused. I tried the wine and dine chicken. An average serving size I was able to finish without leftovers. I enjoyed the balsamic reduction with the potatoes and mushrooms. read more

An easy 5 stars. The ambiance gives very dive bar in a residential neighborhood. Met a friend here to catch up and have some cocktails. The margarita was heavenly and well crafted. The only personal thing for me, was a poor choice of salt on the rim. But nothing I couldn't get over. The fries were delightful and we go the garlic bread dippers for a little app - wow to both. Absolutely get the beer cheese for the fries! That was ahhmazing, and can't go wrong with cheese bread, imo. The service was impeccable. We were checked on by different staff, and very frequently making sure we were good and didn't need anything else. Quick to bring out things we asked for. Friendly and kind staff too! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]There used to be a Chatterbox location in St. Paul and I loved it! It was always full of people and a lot of fun to visit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Wanting to relive that experience, I visited this one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was nearly empty on a weekend night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was great because we were the only ones there. We had a talk with the owner (?) as well when he came over to check on us and see how things were. We did get a neat history of the building and the Chatterbox. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The game selection was limited and a lot of the games were pretty beat-up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I may return for an event night, like karaoke, but this was definitely not the same experience as the other location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was all right; nothing amazing. read more

Pub pass visit for new year. Once again we had our grand dog, Millie, with us so we endured a bit chilly but sunny dinner on the patio. Our food was good and service was excellent. I opted for a basic burger and garlic mashed potatoes this time and it was great. My dark beer complimented the dinner well. Parking right in front. Another tasty meal from Chatterbox Pub. read more

I celebrated my birthday here yesterday. My friends and I hogged several tables for three hours and still received warm, personable attention from the waitstaff (Denise was fabulous!) and owner. They shared birthday cake with us and told us stories of the pub's 100-year history (it was originally a speakeasy with a barber shop in front to disguise it!). We had fabulous food and enjoyed playing games all afternoon. This could become a go-to celebration spot. I also recommend their THC beverages. The blood orange and cardamom flavor was great. Thank you Chatterbox! read more

This was the first time I'd been back to the chatterbox since COVID and i won't be back again. They were short staffed. It took over an hour to get our food after we ordered. The reuben was dry and had very little kraut or dressing. The burger was also dry. It seemed like both had been sitting under heat lamps for way too long. We were kicking ourselves afterwards for not sending the food back. Couldn't finish either sandwich. However, the beer was good and the Bloody Mary was fantastic! read more

Ordered from them on UberEats 1.5 hours before they were closed and they had the audacity to first delay the order for 25 minutes and then they cancelled it leaving me with no other options for delivery at night. What a joke Stay away from this place read more

8/2023 Been a bunch more times to Chatterbox since Covid, with others and solo but I'll speak specifically to the solo experience. Well done! There is a palpable change in the atmosphere from the moment you walk into the place. There's a warm greeting from each person you encounter, including the owner. Doesn't matter if they're still setting up or busy, you feel welcome. The last couple times I've gone solo the server has been attentive to the point of spending extra minutes chatting. I watched her over the hour or so I was there and she made each person and group feel valued. It's a gift to make people's lives even a little bit better and she has it. I know the St. Paul site closed, maybe more time and love is being spent here. It shows. read more

My friend and I visited Chatterbox Pub on a Saturday evening for dinner. We walked in at about 5 pm and we got seated at a booth instantly. We were unable to find a parking lot so we parked on the street. We chose to dine at Chatterbox Pub because it was on our Pub Pass. We both ordered beers which we really enjoyed. Not all the beers on the menu are valid with the Pub Pass, only a select few. I had no issue with this as there was still plenty to choose from. I ordered the fish tacos and he ordered the Chatterbox Burger. My fish tacos were okay. I enjoyed the shells and the side salad but thought the fish could have used more flavor. My friend really enjoyed his burger. I also tried the burger and thought it was superb! This place is definitely a good spot when in the mood for burgers. Our waiter was nice and gave us the right amount of attention. Had my fish tacos been better I would have given this place 5 stars. read more

Wow!! I don't even know where to begin. Let's go back 20 years. It has been 20 years since I've been to this place because it was awful 20 years ago. The only reason I went is because I had a Groupon and it's in my neighborhood. Foolish me thought that in 20 years they would've gotten rid of the greasy smell when you walk in the door, maybe upgraded the filthy dirty carpeting and MAYBE the food may have improved. Wrong on all accounts!! We enter and ironically it is with the same person I had been with 20 years ago. Immediately we noticed the smell had not changed. Upon seating, I told her "I have a bad feeling about this".... we both order bacon cheeseburgers, mine with the bacon extra crispy. One would assume you would get a strip of bacon. ( More to come on the bacon) We get our burgers and there's no bacon. The burgers, frozen patties that you can buy at Walmart or any restaurant supply company, clearly tasted like they had been frozen for quite some time. The cheese, well...I had never seen cheese like this in my life. It was basically orangish gunk...I choked down half of the burger because I had not eaten anything all day, saving the other half for my dog but later reconsidered.... The meat was not even good enough for a dog.. Our initial server was MIA. Another gentleman whizzed by, asking if everything was OK but before we could even answer he was gone... I eventually did tell him that it was the worst food I had eaten in a few years and he said "I'm sorry to hear that"... I told him for no other reason than to let him know..I'm not one that expects anything for free but his nonchalance of it was quite unappealing. The table next to us also complained about their food. When I inquired about our missing bacon, his remark was that it's bacon bits put into the burger. Are you kidding me? You want me to believe that you put bacon bits in a frozen burger patty? Part of me wanted to open the patty and let him show me where the bacon was... Also, when I asked for my bacon extra crispy, why didn't the server tell me that there is no real strips of bacon. I would not have ordered bacon had I known that it was going to be bacon bits in the burger. I didn't believe the bacon story... It's sad because this place is two blocks from my house and I like to support local businesses but there are sooo many better restaurants nearby where you can get fresh food...Thank goodness I had an expired Groupon so at least we got a few dollars off of our bill. I'm truly hoping that somebody will buy this building, bulldoze it down, and open up a great restaurant. I highly doubt that the local old men sitting at the bar, drinking beer will make enough profits for this establishment to continue. Or will they? One thing is for certain. I will not be revisiting in another 20 years... read more

This place has seriously sub par service. . with seriously bad attitude on the part of staff. Blood Mary was a nasty tasting sludge of horror. My friends sandwich smelled like old cat food. How does this place stay in business? I think the fact that you have to wait an hour and a half to get a couple of drinks probably gives you the illusion this place is busy when in fact, everyone everyone's waiting for something. Oh and overpriced too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nasty place!!!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's been a really fun, cute, neighborhood spot, but as of late the service has left me feeling sad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My last experience I waited ten minutes to be greeted by the bar back only to tell me that they can't pour drinks, after she had just poured another guest a beer right in front of me. I waited 13 minutes without any sort of an order being taken, and it was a pretty mild Friday night. Definitely worth a try, but kind of put a damper on my Friday night. read more

Came here on a Thursday afternoon due to finding it on Groupon. The place was practically empty and we were seated quickly as it's a seat yourself kind of place. My coworkers and I ordered a variety of food. First thing we all noticed was that our server acted like he didn't have time for us. Fondue beer cheese was watered down cheese sauce, and took forever as it was supposed to be a started but instead came with our entrees. Kentucky burger - delicious but not being asked how I want my burger made was a difference, as I would've preferred medium but instead got it well done The French dip sandwich was bland in flavor and skimpy on the meat. The only thing making it durable was the Au-jus sauce, otherwise it tasted like cardboard. The grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup was phenomenal. As well as the lobster grilled cheese with fries was very tasty, it had many flavors I'd highly recommend everyone trying it out. The fries were extra crispy but super yummy. The beers we ordered were all good tasting, as well as the strawberry cider. Our table of 4 left $17 tip and the server didn't seem at all thankful, instead made a weird hop like we were not tipping enough? Not sure if being Groupon customers made him feel some kind of way, but we tip well and didn't appreciate his attitude. Overall, only because of the food would we return again. Otherwise, don't use Groupon if you can't treat your customers with some respect. read more

The lobster mac & cheese was such an overcooked, gloopy mess that I'm afraid it turned me off from ever eating this dish again! Ick.

Nice local flair with karaoke on Wednesdays. The bar side was great plenty of drink options and 100th year anniversary specials. The karaoke side was lackluster. A small stage combined with a YouTube screen made it impossible to really jam out. Furthermore, the noise badly echoed making it difficult to hear. read more

I went to open mic for the first time here with some friends and this place is great! There is a main first part of the bar with booths and then around the corner they have more table seating and really cool decor + a little stage! They also had a couple old video game sets that you could play as well. The beer was pretty good and the fries I would highly recommend! Overall, super cozy and unique bar! It was a great place and they had great staff too. Plan to stop by again soon! read more

Our family of 23 came into this establishment only 45 minutes late for our reservation, and we were denied a table! My husbands were furious and thoroughly embarrassed as our pastor was within earshot. Every table was filled, and I was flabbergasted that the employees wouldn't accommodate my request to remove an elderly couple from a large booth to fit at least my husbands and me. I even let them know that the children would be just fine on the floor. We kept getting denied, and finally one of my husbands took the situation into his own hands and drove us to McDonald's. Terrible experience, but the 25 piece McNugget was cooked to perfection. Five stars! read more

I haven't been to Chatterbox in years and used to frequent their Highland Park and South Minneapolis locations before they closed. This sole surviving location offers the same, retro-chic atmosphere, wide drink and food menu and a fun selection of classic video and board games to play at your table. Lots of street parking are nearby, making it an easy spot to meet up at. Food is average and I felt the drink prices were a little high. Service was friendly but very, very close. All in all, a solid C+/B-. read more
