NAUGAHYDE chairs. DARK AF. The darker the better ATMO, and this place is one of the darkest I've ever been in. I don't think there are windows??? The vibe is just perfect for drinking and hanging out with friends. I ordered a round of brewskis - I think it came to 13 bucks or something and the group audibly gasped (from LA, SF, Boston). So cheap and so good. Just come in and enjoy yourself - it's truly a gem of this neighborhood.

I've gone in, ordered a beer, maybe played some pinball and get one of these to go cause they can slide it in a bag old school style. And sadly, Heggie's, made in a good oven, is probably gonna be better then what you are going to get at some of the places around. Wanna watch a game? Shoot pool? Darts? Pinball? Chill and just hang out? Ted's has it all. Just don't be an asshole.

Permanently closed after many, many years. I would go on a rant about how this is really sad, and…read moreabout how all the bars on the West Bank are closing, but why. It's a bar, things change, and fewer really stiff drinks in the world is not exactly a bad thing. But it was cool that there were these people that used to BBQ in back and give out the food to anyone there.

This is a great bar for drinks and music. Parking can suck but ride a bike if possible…read more Bring cash. Enjoy the music. The outdoor stage is great. I can't count how many amazing shows I've seen here. Everything from the Butcher's Union Farewell show to Cornbread. Plus, if you want to play Galago or Ms. Pacman, you have that option too.

The best burger in the world!!! I get the grilled onions in it extra extra. They do not do raw…read moreonions here or vegetables lol I always get the double cheese cheeseburger. This place is a cash only place I think. Well, I've only paid cash when I come here for many many years there was a sign cash only. They might take credit cards now MAYBE I'm not sure but if they do they might charge you a kajillion dollars for the fees lol. Just pay in cash. Bring lots of cash cuz you're gonna want to try the double cheeseburger AND the famous Juicy Lucy. I don't ever get the juicy Lucy because it comes out to piping hot and I don't wanna wait 10 minutes to eat my food lol. Their french fries are just like McDonald's french fries but it taste a lot more fresh. It is so good. You're gonna want to get a full basket. There's always a line out the door so you gotta come here real early.

Finally got to try the iconic Matt's Bar and my first Juicy Lucy! The burger was absolutely…read moredelicious (I got it with grilled onions) - and I appreciated that our waitress told us to take a small bite first, as the cheese was basically molten hot. However, it was a great burger. Between myself and two others, we just shared an order of fries and it was enough - but we do wish they were salted better. We were lucky to get a table right away, but there was quite a line out the door on a Thursday night once we left. We got drinks right away, but the burgers and fries did take quite a bit of time to come out (which for a very limited menu felt odd). Overall, fun environment and good burger!

Grumpy's is exactly what a great neighborhood dive bar should be. It's got a very local, punk vibe…read moreand feels like the kind of place where regulars actually know each other. They host all kinds of community events, which gives it a lot more personality than your average bar. The bartenders are awesome once they know you're there for the right reasons -- this definitely isn't a party bus full of freshly-21 crowd kind of place (that doesn't stop them but alas), and honestly that's part of why I like it. They've also got a really nice patio that's perfect in the summer (and smokers all year round, lol). If you want a genuine Northeast Minneapolis bar experience, Grumpy's is hard to beat.

The sauce added just enough richness and depth without overpowering the fish. Everything on the plate felt balanced and thoughtfully put together. Simple ingredients, cooked right, and presented cleanly. It's the kind of dish that doesn't try too hard but still hits exactly how you want it to. Solid meal, great execution, and definitely something I'd order again.

It always surprises me how many places that I love going to, I have not reviewed…read more And this is one of these places. I love coming here for music. They have three rooms where things happen. The main room (aka Mattson Room) has a great wood dance floor and you'll see things happening here in the afternoon (line dancing, square dancing, etc) and then bands rocking out in the evening. The 2nd room, is the medium size room. Here too I've seen all sorts of great bands play and it too has room to throw down your dance moves or just rock out. The 3rd room. Wow. This room is tiny and it is where the metal bands play. It is loud and it'll melt your face. They also offer food and drinks are way cheap. We'll come here to watch Vikings games. They have both a kitchen that offers salads and burgers, and the traditional bar frozen pizza. You're not getting a Heggies here but you will get a Jakeeno's. In the Twin Cities, this is the only place I know serving up this variety. You need a place to watch a Vikes game or the Wild? This is the place. Drink specials during Vikes games too!
