Everything about my visit during a work trip was phenomenal. The food was SOLID... wings were crispy and flavorful, and the bourbon cranberry chicken salad was incredibly fresh and crisp. They have a fantastic beer selection with tons of great options on tap. Beyond the food and drinks, the service was outstanding. Big shoutout to my bartender, Chris, who was absolutely awesome and made me feel right at home. Great vibes, great staff, and great eats. I'll absolutely be back! read more

Again a group dinner- this time 8 people. Wouldn't let us rearrange the tables to make it longer but yet another table had done it. Our table was like a big king table and it was hard to converse. Wouldn't recommend for a large group. We split a few appetizers. I did not like the wontons. We got two different wings. I would say the menu is correct on spice scale. Our waiter recommended chipotle saying it would not be spicy. It was too spicy for me. I loved the maple bourbon wings and would get them again. They are wet. I ordered the classic juicy Lucy and waffle fries. The juicy Lucy did not disappoint!! Yummy! The waffle fries were not crispy and were not hot. Dirty dishes sat while we waited for our meal. Dirty dishes sat while we ate our meal. Dirty dishes sat when we were done our meal (like the same app dirty dishes!). Even after we paid the bill, there was still a lone dirty plate with chicken wing bones. Gross. They were amazing at clearing empty glasses and replenishing drinks- dishes, not so much. read more

The place is like in downtown Minneapolis. Lots of TV's and dark wood booths and bar stools. It's kinda low light but not too low to see your way around. The restaurant is well lit. But the lights aren't bright. Music level is I think about perfect. Loud enough to block out other conversations but not too loud to talk. The bartender and not sure if it's a cook or server. But they are a great team at the noon hour of me being in here. She served me a beer took my order. He brought the food out very quickly. Food I had was not bad. Wasn't like oh hell this is the best I've ever had. Was good. I'd really love to see more restaurants use the local Schools with FFA programs locally source the food like Table 65 does. That would really make the taste of the food pop. Ok so loads of beer choices. Close to sports arena downtown. Lots of liquor choices. Nice place for a stop before or after a game. Staff is good at their job. Food served fast and hot. Place is clean. Plenty of nearby parking garages. read more

Great service, fun atmosphere, and plenty of options between appetizers, entrees, drinks, and even desserts. We stopped in for dessert, and the options were chocolate cake and a cookie the mirrored a juicy Lucy as it was stuffed with cream cheese. We had to try it! Both were good and came out quickly. It was definitely an experience, tasty, but wouldn't need to have the cookie Lucy again haha! Great spot for a lowkey dinner or hangout with friends. We enjoyed. They have a few parking spots in front of the restaurant otherwise metered street parking. read more

Sunday night after some drinks and dinner, we came here because we saw pull tabs and thought it would be a fun way to end the night. We walked in and there was a sign telling us to sit upstairs. We walked up the stairs (later finding the elevator on our way out after wondering if this place was ADA compliant) and when we went up the stairs we found about 10 people scattered throughout the booths that surrounded the bar and a few seated at the bar. First impressions... it didn't look great but we thought hey maybe they pour a heavy drink. So we stayed for one. This was such a pleasant experience. The bartender was really cool. She was hustling but you could tell she loved her job. She mentioned she's been doing it for about 30 years. She single-handedly is the reason why I give this a four star. Then on top of that, when the chefs popped out they smiled at us and the other bar backs were equally as engaging. Perhaps it was because it wasn't a really busy night. But nevertheless, it was radically different from the other bars we went to where everyone looked miserable. We wneee up with a few drinks and a lot of laughs. We also got some neat recommendations on where to go in the area. After a few hours we realized we needed something to eat to soak our drinks up and we got the golden bbq wings with blue cheese and ranch. I thought the sauce was pretty okay. I think the crunch was perfect. I always want more sauce so that's my only critique. I can tell this place gets busy during Vikings game day. Would love to come back and experience that atmosphere. But for a chill Sunday night, I give it a four star. read more

We ordered delivery from here to our hotel. The order was done on a weeknight close to their closing time. I got a Reuben with fries. The Reuben flavor was really good, the only thing was that the rye was a little bit dry/burnt. The fries it came with were delicious, I just wish they had ketchup on the side. My friend ordered some chicken tenders. They only ok. We also had some carrots and celery that we ordered but they never came and we were unable to call the business to let them know. All in all, food is average. I would definitely go with their Reuben over the chicken though. read more

We visited the Crooked Pint on Friday, August 29th at about 7:30PM at the Downtown location. We were a party of two, and this was our first time at this restaurant. Being from out of town, we saw the wide variety of Juicy Lucy's, and we really wanted to try them. (We have had some before from the big name places in town; however, this place was close to our hotel) We were surprised that this place was pretty darn empty for a Friday evening; however, that area of town can be a bit desolate after business hours, and especially on a holiday weekend. However, all the more for us, and our server was absolutely fantastic. She was nice, pleasant and was a true customer service fanatic at heart. We had some drinks, which were delicious. I ordered the Cheesesteak Lucy, and boy was that yummy. It, of course, came out with scorching hot cheese in the middle (which it is supposed to) and it had all the fixings. It had some onions, peppers, mushrooms and Queso. I also upgraded to the cheese curds for my side. The entire meal was fantastic. If you are in the mood for bar food, that is what you will get here. read more

Ate here tonight with a friend - had the spinach power bowl - phenomenal! A spicy sweet concoction of all things healthy but honestly so yummy. My friend had the bourbon cranberry chicken salad, which is her ultimate favorite thing. Great happy hour pricing on drinks and always friendly staff. A nice downtown option with good food and drinks, reasonably priced though parking can be an issue. read more

Crooked Pint Ale House is a fun spot in downtown Chaska to enjoy good drinks, food & some entertainment! It's very spacious and looks on to the curling center which is really fun and unique. Our group of 6 came on a Friday evening and were seated and served right away despite it being pretty busy which we were impressed with. They are known for their tots and Juicy Lucy burgers which were both very impressive. The cheese was warm and oozing out after the first couple of bites. Both individuals who ordered the burgers said they would definitely order again! I was looking forward to trying the tater tots but found that they have some meat in them so I wasn't able to try them out. However, those within our group that did really seemed to enjoy them. The Margherita flatbread was just okay. It was a bit dry and not super flavorful but got the job done. Their drink menu was very expansive with a good selection of beers, ciders, and cocktails. It also was fun to be able to look on to the curling center! read more

I love myself a bbq bacon burger, and Crooked Pint makes a great one! Ordered the Wrangler Lucy ($15) to go and was quite pleased that the haystack onions on the burger and side onion rings stayed crispy in the box on my drive home. I love that the burger is stuffed with jalapeños in addition to the cheese, and as a cheese lover, I personally liked that there was cheese both in and on the burger. The sauce was delicious without being overpowering, and the bacon was tasty too. As for the totchos ($13), this is my big "hear me out." I LOVED these. Even though they may not look like much at first glance, this photo does NOT do them justice. I'm used to a "quantity over quality totcho," with a lot of cheap tots drenched in cheap toppings (which I do love as much as the next guy!) but the flavor on these is next level and truly opened my eyes to what a totcho could be. The housemade "jumbo tots" hugely live up to their name, and come stuffed with cheese and serrano for a flavor bomb in the tots themselves, and the green onions, bacon, and cheese on top pair perfectly. I also want to point out their deals! On Wednesday for example, they've got a daily deal of $2 off Lucys and burgers, and on Thursdays, you can get a classic Lucy with waffle fries for $10. They also have a happy hour on weeknights from 3-6p and 9:30p-close where you can get $2 off several appetizers (and good deals on drinks too). Love when a restaurant has affordable options like that. read more

From out of town. Had no idea this was a Vikings post game party spot. Place is very cool, lots of TV's to watch multiple games on. Staff was super friendly. Tried to get food to go but front desk said they didn't do that in game days. Put my name in for a 45 min wait. Went upstairs ordered a beer from the super friendly bartender who said it would be no problem to order food to go. Ordered a Lucy burger and tots. Took about 20 min and I was out. 7min walk back to my room and I have to say, that may have been THE BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Cooked perfectly. Absolutely delicious. May go back tomorrow for another! Keep doing what you're doing Crooked Pint Ale House. read more

To cap off our first day in Minneapolis, we decided on the Crooked Pint. We did a flight of beers so that we could try different MN beers (being from CA). Good sizes! The waitress let us sample a few more before we made our full size selection, which was so nice of her. And she was happy to do it! Next, the food. On her recommendation, we started with the Totchos. Oh. My. Goodness. I could eat those for the rest of my life. Good with beer! Then we shared a classic Juicy Lucy, delish! And were able to get a side of walleye, since we've never had. Again, so accommodating to us out-of-towners. Topped it off by sharing the Tater tot hot dish. CO comforting and homey. Only critique: more tots!!! But great flavor. Loved everything, the vibe, the food, the service. Next time we are in Minneapolis, you can bet your tots we are coming here!!! read more

We ask for suggestion for a quick lunch at our hotel and they suggested the crooked pint. Our server was super friendly and gave us suggestions including what we should not have off the menu.

Great restaurant i would go again to try more of their burgers. To start off i orderd 2 of the same cocktails but i do not remember the name which tells you it was good. I had The Mad pepper lucy with the Fried Cheese Curds. The Mad pepper was delicious, little kick to it because of the jalapenos and the blue cheese was a great addition. The cheese curds were great, i wished it had a dipping sauce and not hot sauce but was able to survive on its own. The waffle fries Delicious and crisp and the Golden BBQ Chicken Tenders which was also delicious. Reminded me of the honey wings from Dallas BBQ. The foot traffic was quiet at the time i got there but was good because service came quick, which is my kind of ambiance. I recommend! read more

First time (plan to come back next time I'm in MN) had my eye on a few food items and dranks!! Enjoy a nice walk to Stone Arch Bridge (park area by the water sorry not from the area) Food: Generous portions definitely will fill you up!! Walleye Sandwich: First time I had walleye! It was perfectly fried and tasty!! Got the seasonal salad (arugula strawberry) instead of fries... delicious!! Tacos: my mom enjoyed them! Drinks: no complaints heavy handed on the liquor I don't remember the cocktail I had but it was so refreshing (especially on a 95 degree day) and mom enjoyed her nitro stout (possibly woolly). Service: fast & friendly Environment: typical bar, looks like a great place to watch sports games (Go Hawks / Go Mariners) read more

As a customer waiting in line, I asked to use the bathroom. Was very rudely told by two bouncers that I could not use the restroom, even to the point of being challenged to a fight. After we ate our food and paid our bill, service was great by the way. I maid it a point to let the bouncer/security know that they where over stepping, and being rude on not letting their own customers use the restroom. That's when I was pushed and grabbed by the other bouncer and assaulted. I will be filling charges for assault on Monday with MPD. Please make sure you save all video from Sunday 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm A copy of this report will be sent to the proper authorities. read more

They didnt have tater tot hot dish and i waited 45 minutes to get it and thats all i wanted

Great food (wings, onion rings and Honey Sriracha Salmon salad) and great beer. Server was amazing.

DO NOT GET THE PARMESEAN CHICKEN WINGS!!!!! It absolutely reeks and stunk up the whole restaurant... and wasn't even good either 1 star period read more

Chicken bowl was awesome. Drinks were good. Service great. Fun atmosphere. Would come back again!

They literally live up to their name. I do not recommend this place at all! I went yesterday for a few beers and the bartender was trying to overcharge me.. She made the adjustment when I let her know but I have a feeling she does this often. read more

I ordered the lobster melt with no bread. I got a COLD lump of food. It wasn't even like warm. The only hot thing was the cheese curds! The server offered to have the redone. I said I'll take it & reheat myself. When I asked for a takeout box, that was her clue to bring me the check. I took her over 30 mins to bring me the bill. The place wasn't busy! Not a happy camper! read more

Came here for dinner on a normal Thursday evening around 6pm. Not too busy at all. We sat at a booth and our server , who was also the bartender, came to take our order. We ordered 2 things, a burger and some wings. I noticed he wasn't writing anything down, okay that's fine.. 40 mins later we are still waiting and the bartender/server notices us- comes and says sorry they didn't have your order up on the tab in the back. He then double checks our order and recites something completely wrong. How incompetent can one person be.. ? Never coming back here. Pro tip: if you're a server , start writing when people say what they want to eat. read more

We came here for a quick lunch before a Minnesota united game. It was a slow Saturday afternoon and was able to snag a seat very quickly. We started off with our usual cheese curds. These were fried to perfection and served with ranch. Really good but not the best cheese curds in Minny. When in Minnesota, we always order juicy lucys. My wife ordered their pepper jack juicy and I ordered their Beer Cheese Jucy. Similar to grovelands, they put cheese on the outside as well. While I love cheese, too much cheese will ruin a burger. I want to be able to taste the seasoning on the patty before the cheese starts dripping out. The beer cheese lucy was good, and although not traditional, it is still something I wouldn't hesitate ordering again. It came with habanero jack, bistro sauce, and stuffed with cheese, all in between a pretzel un. The burgers come with fries or you can upgrade to tater tots for a premium price. My dumbass ordered Tots instead of fries. While very delicious, it is not worth the extra they are charging. I've tried some pretty good juicys, I'm more of a traditional juicy Lucy guy and don't think I'll return on my next trip to Minnesota. read more

I'm not going to lie, the parking can be a nightmare. But other than that, fun sports bar to visit & try a few beers. We visited for trivia on a Wednesday and somehow snagged a spot in the parking lot before almost accidentally turning down the wrong way on a one way street. Whew. Half our party arrived before the others (4 of us total) and they sat us even though the sign says you need your entire party to sit. I was happy for that since we were much earlier than the others. I picked out a flight ($12) from their tap list. I wish that they could use all the beers for the flights, but I'm sure there's some good reason for not including all of them. My favorite in my flight was the Indeed Strawberry Fields and unfortunately I spilled almost all of it immediately after I took my first sip. My husband ran and got a rag from the bar to sop it up AND they gave me a new little flight glass of it, which was very nice of them. I appreciated that a lot. Crooked Pint has daily specials and Wednesday's was $2 off burgers. I love burgers but didn't want a Lucy, so opted for the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. Wowwww it was SO good. I also got the seasonal salad as my side instead of the fries -- it was a strawberry almond salad and it was absolutely delicious. The garlic fries were also great. Editing to add because I forgot to say -- the Nasvhille Hot Chicken Sandwich was not "Minnesota Hot" (aka not hot), which I find to be really disappointing when I order something spicy. This was legitimately and satisfyingly spicy and DELICIOUS. I wish I had saved some to take home and eat later. Like, wow. read more

Updated review after a while of not visiting Crooked Pint - I came with a friend on Wednesday for an earlier dinner around 5:30 and we were seated right away. Our waitress was really nice and efficient, which was helpful for us since we were going to a show at 7. I had the grilled clubhouse sandwich with regular pub fries and it was so yummy. I remember this spot having smaller portions sizes and that still holds true for my dinner. It was a perfect size for me, but I'm a small bit person and I could see someone still being hungry after the sandwich I ordered. I do really like that it was cut into fourths - this made for a much easier eating experience. Usually the things in my sandwich will fall out one end, but that didn't happen! Will definitely visit this spot again when I'm in the downtown area. read more

We came here for some dinner and a couple drinks before the Eras tour at U.S. Bank stadium. It's close enough to walk to the stadium after dinner but also far enough away to get a little away from the crowds at a big show. While we were waiting for seating, we got some drinks at the upper bar, where the bartender was a little rude (she seemed annoyed that I asked for a suggestion), but it was a busy night so she might have just been a little out of sorts due to the crowds. We had the wings and shared the giant tots as an appetizer for the group. The wings were great! I had the Nashville Hot wings and while not super spicy they had a little kick to them. The tots were definitely the star, they're giant tots, so I wasn't sure if they'd be good or not, but they blew us away. They had a cheesy smoky interior and crispy outside. I'd definitely go back just for these. Prices were pretty typical, nothing too crazy, they had a few good specials for the show but all in all pretty standard! I would definitely go back! read more
