    All kinds of hanging art for sale

    Cool vibe with all kinds of art and vintage to admire. Pricing was great and very friendly bar tender.

    Banger low-key neighborhood bar. Grain Belt tall boys, need I say more? Okay, yes, super friendly bar crew and crowd, great music, Dr No pinball, and a sweet little patio. Did I mention Grain Belt tall boyz?

    Yelp wants me to write more. I don't need or want to. See below. Things haven't changed. Nuff said.

    Good deals on booze. Friendly relaxed environment. Cool people. This was the third stop on my birthday bar hop. We played a round of darts for $2 and walked outside to their back patio with a few beers. There is a fence full of beer signs for a photo opt! Our mission that night was to find a bar that could do pickleback shots (whiskey and pickle juice chasers). Whenever our groups gets together WE MUST HAVE A ROUND. Unfortunately, they did not have pickle juice as they typically do not serve food, but the bartender did recommended a grapefruit chaser with Jameson shots. That hit the spot until our next location, and we had a few MN brews before we left. Overall I will return on a weeknight to chill and have a beer. Free street parking.

    I love a place that feels like a "dive," bar but actually feels like they clean the place and maybe even do nice little modern remodel touches! This is one of those places! Mind you I was here in the early morning hours, so my eyes my have already been red, from a few brews.. But this place made me happy we came here for our night cap! Nice staff, cool spot, cheap cold brews, good friends.. Perfection at 1am!

    AMAZING! I visited on a Thursday around 6pm and sat at the bar with my friend. We ordered the Chefs…read moreChoice cocktail to start with which I highly recommend! It's a jalapeño and basil infused gin with Aperol, Cucumber Oleo and lemon-so good we ordered two each! To eat we ordered the Baked Reginette Bolognese and the Smoked Brisket Sandwich. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The servicing sizes are pretty big so you are likely to have leftovers. The service was superb and we were never left waiting. Great place for happy hour or a bite to eat.

I don't like to review based on takeout so I left it be. It was nothing special and clearly previously frozen. Decided to stop in again but for brunch. They have a full bar but only list 3 drinks on the brunch menu. Mimosa, Irish coffee, and Bloody Mary. Their mimosas were a great pour and I didn't feel the need for more than one! We ordered the Crab Benedict and Eggs Florentine. Both had FANTASTIC flavor! Unfortunately, the poached eggs on the crab were practically hard boiled, and my Florentine was a soup. I had to drink the eggs. Not super pleasant. The flavor, as mentioned before, was yummy! Very buttery, with tangy roasted tomatoes. Service was good, and we didn't feel rushed. They have a host stand, but it wasn't super clear if you should seat yourself or not. I saw people doing both. Street parking but not too hard to find a spot. I will definitely give it one or two more tries and update my review. Need to go for dinner, and I'm curious to try their French toast!

It was not the usual calm & collective North Loop vibe lol. It was too loud (not the music... the people were loud AF) so I had to leave because it was so extremely loud with some obnoxious loud groups of parties.

    Could be the MN's best rooftop patio... but it's not!…read more I have to share my experience because I truly think management could use this feedback to help support and educate staff. Upon entry, there's no host stand or sign telling guests to seat themselves. Our group of 3 sat down at a dirty table and waited 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us or clearing it off. I finally went to the bar to ask if we had a server, and the bartender pointed to a staff member on their phone behind the bar. Our waitress eventually came over to take our drink order, but she didn't bother to clear the table or introduce herself. After bringing our drinks, she then informed us dinner service had ended 30 minutes earlier. This information would've been nice to know upfront! The Rooftop Bar is so cute, great views, and has SO much potential because the space itself is great. I just hope management sees this as an opportunity to improve the guest experience because the service was honestly shocking, and not in a good way!

    Working through breweries on the Pub Pass, we decided to stop in to Broken Clock…read more The space is huge, so you shouldn't have to worry about seating. It actually looks like an old elementary school building. Food is available next door and seems to have a rotating food truck, but the brewery itself doesn't appear to have food directly. Lots of brews to choose from and has coffee in the morning. I tried a mango wheat and hubs had a milk and cookies stout. I would have liked mine a bit better if it was toned back on the hoppy flavor, but it was still decent. This place is VERY kid/family-friendly. Not that that's a bad thing, just more for awareness that kids are readily running around, in case that does have an impact on your choice to go one way or another.

It's a big space for working remotely with lots of different tables and comfy nooks. Coffee was good enough and there are snacks, not meals, though they typically have a food truck parked out back. You could seamlessly transition from working remotely til 4 or 5pm to hanging out for a beer with a friend after. I've done both. I enjoyed the gingerbread latte while working and a friend met me after. I came another time after work when I enjoyed the salted caramel stout - highly recommend, esp if you find IPAs to be bitter as I do. It was good! Noticed they sell thc gummies and beverages and beer to go, plus lots of their own merch. There's 2 pool tables, pin ball machines, foosball, board games, and other games to play. They activate event nights often, like trivia, yoga, networking, etc., and even pet adoption events. It's very dog friendly, so expect to be among them. It's also family friendly and I noticed couples with their small kids, parents and grandparents, etc. Staff are friendly. Self ordering at the counter.

Parking can be annoying in this area (old cobblestone streets), but there is a paid lot right across the street from the entrance if you can't find street parking. Upon walking in, the bar top itself was packed with regulars at an off hour on a Friday. We sat at a small table by the pull tabs. Fun & divey atmosphere with a pool table and plenty of photo ops. Decided on Bina's Burger (smash burger) with Fries, and a side of Mozzarella Sticks. Loved the classic cup the Coke came in, and I tried both of the Old Fashioned drinks on the menu. Bina's old fashioned is okay, and will do the trick if you're purely looking for effect. The Wisconsin old fashioned is very sweet with muddled cherries and orange. The mozzarella sticks were served with a tomato soup dip which was interesting, but makes sense (grilled cheese & tomato soup). Ultimately the smash burger is the star! Very salty and crispy and delicious! I could see this becoming a regular craving! Water and condiments are on a stand to the left of the pull tabs.
