Great little dive bar! Cheap drinks and good vibes! Can't go wrong in a night out here!read more

Hey. What can I say, I love this place. It's walking distance. Drinks are cheap…read more You know what you're gonna get. Just don't be an asshole. Also, they offer Heggie's Pizza. 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.

Found free street parking right in front of the restaurant, which made getting there easy. When you…read morearrive, you wait in line until a table opens up. Luckily, there were only two people ahead of us, and we waited about 6-10 minutes. If you visit during peak hours, I'd definitely expect a longer wait. The menu is refreshingly simple Jucy Lucys, chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese, fries, and not much else. I ordered the original Jucy Lucy with pickles and onions, and we shared a basket of fries. It was a true no frills experience, and I can appreciate the significance of keeping things simple. Matt's embraces that hometown diner feel: burgers wrapped in paper instead of plates, drinks served cold & bottled instead of over ice, cash only (there's an ATM inside with a $2 fee), and a nostalgic atmosphere that feels uniquely Minnesota. The staff deserves recognition. Our waitress was friendly and patient, and it was clear everyone, from the bartender to the cook, was working incredibly hard to keep things moving. Their teamwork definitely didn't go unnoticed. As for the burger, I personally didn't think it was the best Jucy Lucy I've had, but taste is subjective, and I completely understand why it's considered a Minnesota staple. More than anything, I'm glad I finally crossed Matt's off my Minnesota foodie bucket list. As a proud Minnesotan, it's one of those iconic spots that's worth experiencing at least once.

I went here with some friends and thought it was a perfect spot for a get together with the guys…read more It is has that dive-bar vibe which was perfect for what we were looking for. We ordered a pizza which was a Heggies which I think is solid. Had a couple beers and relaxed. We thought our server was fine yet not spectacular but he did seem to be working hard. Overall I would recommend to come here to hang out and relax.

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.

This is a great Irish Pub with very good food and beer selections. My husband had the pot pie and…read moreenjoyed it. I had the Gaelic Chicken Bites as an entree which were absolutely delicious, nice and crispy with high chicken quality and a great sauce. The service was good and the whole establishment had nice vibes, huge space. If we ever visit Minneapolis again this will be an automatic re-visit thanks to the weird situation where everything in their downtown closes at 6pm on Sundays.

We were greeted at the door upon entry and directed to our seats. The menu has all the traditional favorites. There was a consensus of our group that the Fish & Chips, Corned Beef Reuben and Bangers & Mash were the tastier items. The honey glazed Chicken Sandwich was the sleeper surprise. So good. Smithwicks all around, cheers, cheers!

On a positive note.... the bathrooms no longer have the universal towel everyone uses

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!

First I want to shout out to the very sweet Bingo lady! And the very nice and helpful Karaoke…read moregirl.. These two women made our night really FUN! Now for that sad part of this... I came there with my Sister that is legally blind And has to speak louder because she's hearing impaired.. And my Sister met a man there later whom she has never met before, that ended up a very rude and quite loud and obnoxious person when he kept drinking alcohol! Myself and my date was a witness to his behavior that sprung out of control! He was getting too fresh with my Sister that kept pushing his hands away! He kept using cuss words! And yelling where's that bartender? And I would say to him if you want a drink? Go to the bar yourself these two bartenders have been working so hard in this heat all day long!! Well he didn't like that and started screaming at me! I then told the man that it's not the bartenders job to come to the table .. It's his responsibility to go ask for his own drink of choice, He grew more angry at me for no reason then he got our bartender Joy involved and was making things up that I had never said? I don't even know this man.. My Sister was just texting with him for a couple months on some date site.. And asked him if he wanted to meet her.. He came to the bar and seemed really hyper.. My Sister.. my date and I were still very respectful and nice to the man until he sprung out of control, And because all of that took place my Sister, date and I were asked to leave because Joy the bartender didn't want any more loudness.. We respected that and I was about to go get my Sister and date and let them know that we have to leave the bar .. and just when I was about to go get my Sister at our table... That man came back to see my Sister at the table! I thought that security asked him to leave? But he came back to to try to talk to my Sister.. I wasn't at the table so I didn't hear what he had said, Neither did my Sister or my date because he was screaming! When that man had walked away from the table he came right up to me real close and looked like he was very angry.. I didn't say anything and I went to our table and took my Sister by the hand and walked out the door.. I can't believe the man that started the feud wasn't asked to leave also? It was a very sad and shocking night for my Sister, My Date and I .. We never have been treated so disrespectfully ever at any place of business!!
