Holy Moly! How did I not know about this place? If you like your cocktails a little unusual but delicious and reasonably priced, you need to visit. It looks closed but it's hopping, even at 5 on a Monday. It's divy in an unassuming way, and cool as heck. No pretention just great drinks and delicious hotdogs. I had a vegetarian one with pineapple and some sort of spicy peanut sauce. Just get it, OK?! read more

Wow the cocktails here were incredible! It's such a cute, small hidden place but they offer super unique and delicious craft cocktails at the same price of basic bar cocktails many other places! They use unique spirits and combine flavor profiles creatively to make cocktails that are different than anything I've tried before. It's hard to tell what the drinks may taste like based off of the ingredients but don't be afraid to ask the friendly bartenders. They have a parking lot in the back, a patio attached, and you order at the bar. They change their menu a decent amount so I won't harp on about the cocktails we tried, but I will say they were all well garnished and delicious. I hope to be back here soon! read more

Hadn't been here in years but wanted to hit it up for the Halloween drinks. Sat at the bar with a date and ordered a couple drinks. Bartender was great, drinks were strong and they had the Halloween decorations all over. This place is always good but creepy drinks are always fun! read more

I went to Meteor for their Halloween pop-up and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was so fun and creative, and every drink was amazing. Service was fast and efficient, which made the experience even better. I really appreciated how they had specialty cups for each themed drink such a cool touch! My favorite was definitely the Corpse Flower so yummy and perfectly spooky. Highly recommend checking out Meteor, especially when they do seasonal pop-ups! I did not try the food will have to come back and try it at a later read more

Couldn't tell at first if this was a dedicated dive bar or not, but it was cute and they did some nice decorating for Halloween szn. The bartender was nice and made some decent drinks for us. It's in a very random industrial area though, and the outside of the place screams dive bar, but the inside is cute and serves a good purpose lol. I'd come back! read more

Meteor Bar in Minneapolis is a hidden gem in the city's nightlife scene. Nestled in the North Loop, this spot offers a refreshing blend of retro vibes, strong cocktails, and a welcoming crowd. The atmosphere is upbeat but laid-back, with a stylish, cosmic-inspired interior that lives up to its name. The bartenders are friendly and quick with recommendations [even when busy], and the drink specials are worth checking out. Whether you're there for a casual weekday drink or a weekend dance party, the music keeps the energy high without being overwhelming. It's not the biggest venue, nor the fanciest but that's part of its charm. Meteor feels more like a neighborhood hangout than a mega-club, which makes it great for meeting people and actually holding a conversation. They also have small snacks for treats. However, there is usually a food truck outside that sells anything from barbecue beef to chicken wings. read more

Meteor - Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Recently moving to Minneapolis, I want to find a relaxing bar that had an interesting drink menu that would rotate at a good price. I think I found it here and have been back multiple times! This is such a cute quaint bar. Some may call it kind of dive-y. I love how they switch up their menu, have old classics, always on the menu, and have loaded hotdog to have as a snack. They also participate a lot with the pop-ups during holiday seasons, so it is easy to frequent Meteor. Must try for drink drinks, good times, and fun food! read more

Went for the first time for their Halloween popup and it didn't disappoint. The vibe was really chill and the bartenders were awesome. We ended up chatting with them for a long time while watching 80s horror movies. The drinks were fantastic; not overly sweet at all with interesting bitters and syrups to make each unique. Really well made. We also had to grab a Meteor Dog off the roller because of course. It was exactly what you expect (and want) from a roller dog in a divey bar. I'd love to come back and check out their next menu rotation given the string of holidays over the coming months. read more

This is one of my go to "treat yourself and clean out emails with cocktails" bars. Dive ambiance, fancy drinks. I've never had the hot dogs, I get a drink or two, have some chips, and enjoy a cocktail that's a reasonably priced as you'll get for this quality (which is still $14 each, but that's at least not $19). Bartenders are generally good about answering Qs and explaining the fun ingredients. It's just generally an awesome bar. If you take a date here and they like it, keep them. read more

A Spook-tacular experience!! My friend and I were looking for fun Halloween events to attend this October and the Meteor's Black Lagoon Halloween pop-up bar immediately grabbed our attention. The pop up bar consisted of specialty cocktails, spooky decor, and on Thursdays a Boo-lesque show! When we arrived the bar was quite busy but we were lucky enough to snag some bar setting from some nice men who were on their way out. The decor was great, very haunting but nothing too over the top. The bar is small but I believe they managed the space well. Their specialty cocktail list was just right, offer an option or two with each liquor. Pricing was a little bit steep for a dive bar at $16 a drink but I guess they can charge what they want for a pop-up and people will still come! The cocktails were very tasty and well balanced. We did in-fact come on a Thursday for the Boo-lesque show which was very entertaining! All of the performers dressed in costume and danced to music. They were so fun and hilarious to interact with. Overall we had a really good time and would consider coming again in the future! read more

Meteor has been one of my favorite bars since we've moved to the area. They have classic drinks that are $10 and a rotating menu of drinks that are $14. All the drinks we've tried have been unique and very good! Look forward to going back again soon! read more

Went to Meteor for the Black Lagoon popup, and had a great time! The theming was great, lots of spooky accoutrements and moody lighting, it was a great spot pre halloween. Drinks were great, an interesting variety of liquors and flavors used. A great spot to go for holiday spirit, I'm excited for their next menu! read more

Meteor is the place you want to go for an elevated bar experience without it feeling pretentious. I'm not a huge person for the big city bar scene so it's nice that Meteor is located in an unassuming little building out of the crowds and chaos of Downtown or Uptown Minneapolis. Even when it's busy at Meteor it's not uncomfortable or crazy loud. Atmosphere aside, the drinks are amazing. The menus are always so creative and read more like something you'd find at a craft distillery rather than a bar. Meteor uses pretty much any spirit you can think of, including some of the less common ones like mezcal and aquavit, to create unique flavors you're not going to find anywhere else. They also rotate their menu so you're always going to find new drinks to try throughout the year. They also have awesome hot dogs! Meteor is one of my go-to places that never disappoints. I highly recommend making a stop here if you're in Minneapolis! read more

There's a good reason why Meteor is recognized as one of the, if not the, best bars in Minneapolis/St. Paul. This small, divey feeling space has a fun and welcoming atmosphere to it. A long bar to one side and tables to the other with a pinball machine in the middle. Meteor offers a seasonal menu of hand crafted cocktails made by some amazing people. These drinks feature some of the finest spirits around and creative flavor combinations. They also offer a handful of local Minnesota craft beers if spirits aren't your thing. If you are looking for a snack while enjoying a drink they offer some tasty hot dogs as well. Meteor is a MUST visit in the Twin Cities. read more

DELICIOUS! A friend and I went, we tried the Secret Tiger, Xochitl, Raicilla Later, and Cavillo. Everything was delicious and refreshing, and the bartenders were all super fun and incredibly informational about the drinks we had. The music was a little loud for my usual taste but I didn't mind it all that much! The space itself carries sound really strongly, so I think that had more to do with it than the music necessarily being too loud. I would absolutely still return and wouldn't change a thing! read more

Dive bar vibes with delicious cocktails! The space is small and retro with 80's memorabilia (including a pinball machine) dispersed throughout. You can sit at the bar or booth, and select your drink from a list of rotating cocktails, with low ABV and mocktails also available. Foodwise, they have "elevated" hot dogs if you are willing to spend $6 or $7, but they're pretty good. The staff is also super friendly- you'll just need to order at the bar and bring back to your table. There's lot parking nearby or you can park on the street. It can get busy on the weekend but it's a nice quiet weekday spot! read more

If it's good enough for Joe Jonas it's good enough for me. I love meteor this is where I'd take a newcomer or visiting friend! Halloween time here is always fun and I've caught a drag show before as well! Delicious drinks read more

Meteor is the perfect dive bar ambiance with super tasty cocktails. Their beer & a bump (boiler) offerings are also really interesting (& a good deal). Although there are tables, you order at the bar & pick up your drinks/food once they're ready. The bartenders were super helpful & attentive, even once the bar got busy for the night. I didn't realize Meteor had vegetarian/vegan options for their hotdogs, so that was a fun surprise! I had: --Meteor Dog (with a Herbivorous Butcher hotdog): Kimchi mayo, crispy onions, green onions; I now believe that every hotdog should have crispy onions. The crunch is a game changer, not to mention the flavors were all so, so good. I don't like kimchi so I was a bit worried about the mayo, but it was just a bit spicy without any of the kimchi funky flavor. --Syncing Ships: This was really well balanced; I was expecting the dill flavor to come through more, but I'm glad it didn't as it would've overwhelmed the drink. --Dirty Mind: A bit less coffee flavor than I was expecting, but I was also just in the mood for a cold brew at that point lol. I'd give this one a 4/5, it was kind of like a less-strong espresso martini with more complex flavor. --Juice Box (boiler): I had never heard of Pasubio before but LOVED it. The cider was fine, light & refreshing without making my teeth feel fuzzy. My friends also ordered Spaghets & the bartenders were happy to make those as well, apparently they used to be on the menu. Overall: cool atmosphere, great bartenders, fantastic hotdogs, prices are reasonable. read more

As a new comer to Minneapolis (4 month old), I was looking for a cool bar to enjoy myself or hang out with friends. Meteor has been mentioned a few times by people in different walks on different occasions. I thought it would be worth trying. It was a Thursday evening. The bar was almost full regardless the location is not like downtown downtown, but super easy for parking and very cool industrial area. I like it! I was here mainly for Mezcal, a passion I developed since I moved here. They have a very wide range of selection. All three that were recommended to me are awesome. My favorite is the Aquilino Garcia, a very rare one, kind of a vegan Pechuga. I usually don't eat bar food, but I ended up believe having two hotdog's and they both were delicious. Meteor hotdog and Musubio hotdog. Try them, the toppings and sauce did make differences. Might be my favorite hotdog so far. I also got a special cocktail made with Mezcal. The jalapeño in it has a spicy kick, which really distinguish itself from other Mezcal based cocktails I tried before. Sour, sweet and spicy. More to dig in the cocktails here. First impression was fantastic as the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely come back for more. read more

I'm from out of town (DC) and came to visit with friends who said to check this place out. The location was a bit desolate/industrial. Nothing else nearby for restaurants or bars. The prices for cocktails felt a bit pricey especially since my drink (Secret Tiger) didn't have a rim on it (description said salt & lime chili). You order at the bar - took a long time for the few folks there at 7:00 PM on a Saturday. LGBTQ+ friendly. Outdoor seating in the back. Vibe was hipster. read more

One of my favorite bars in the North Loop! Nice, casual dive bar atmosphere combined with delicious cocktails and delicious Hot Dogs. There is a lot of 80s memorabilia, so the bar has a very 80s vibe. The servers were all friendly. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area. read more

Meteor - The only beer that matters - Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This bar is my favorite in all of Minnesota. BY FAR. The drinks, phenomenal. The hot dogs? I could eat 20. I love this place and I recommend it to everyone I know. I love the vibes and the staff is so friendly! I always feel welcome and don't feel like they're annoyed to be doing their jobs or dealing with me like some bars. It makes me so comfy! I love their shots of the moment and all the ones I've had (even the ones that contain liquors I don't like drinking) have been super yummy. Always check their little board for their special drinks because that's usually where my absolute favorite drinks are at. I LOVE that they change the theme of their menu every couple of months. The first time I visited it was like old school arcade themed, the second time it was like Miami Vice, we went to the Black Lagoon pop up and then finally we went to the Wet Hot American Summer theme! They change their menus and their drinks! All the drinks are gorgeous and unique and I've never had one I disliked. Please get the meteor dog. Also check out their drag show! It was so fun! I wish there was more seating but there's really nothing they can do about that. I would be more than willing to stand all night for the drinks here. read more

Just off Broadway in Northeast Minneapolis, Meteor is an "upscale dive bar," with fun ambiance, great service and a large menu of fun craft cocktails. Their capable bar tenders can quickly whip anything up and they offer gourmet hot dogs and limited snacks as well. Small parking lot behind the bar and ample street parking are also a plus. Felt a little pricey for what we got, but clearly you're paying for the experience not the quality of the cocktails read more

Excellent cocktails in a non-pretentious atmosphere. It was really packed on a Halloween weekend night, which I was told isn't the norm. It was still a fun place nonetheless! Bartenders were experienced and efficient. The Sidecar and Whiskey sours were 10/10. I love that they have plenty of non-alcoholic cocktail options as well. read more

Super busy little bar with yummy drinks! We got the daiquiri and the secret river uppercut! Both were delicious and well balanced. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was so busy there were no tables, and not much space to stand either. It is a very small bar. I'm glad they're so popular because the cocktails are so yummy and well priced, but I think next time I'd visit on a weekday to stay awhile! read more

This place has a cool vibe and is a great spot to meet up for some cocktails. I'll return again and again. Fyi - they are closed Tuesdays. read more

This spot is so quirked up and fun! I love the meteor dog, sooo tasty and all the mixed drinks are delicious as well!

This place is a 10 out of 10. The cocktails are so fun with quirky names, and the hot dogs and the food from the food truck was phenomenal. I tried the secret tiger tequila based drink and the mega buster. And my friend tried the gin birdie drink and the olive cocktail. I also tried the kombucha they had. The spot itself is in an industrial part of Minneapolis and there's plenty of street parking and it's easy to get to. The inside is a little smaller, but there's plenty of room and it has a nice neighborhood vibe. The staff are pretty friendly, and very on top of your needs. I also walked away with a fun T-shirt. I highly recommend the spot if you're looking for a new cocktail bar. read more

Just a great lesser known cocktail bar in the Minneapolis area. Stop in and belly up to the bar for interesting cocktails and great conversation with the bartenders. They usually have a handful of Mezcal cocktails on hand which is a favorite on mine, but they have lots of other signature cocktails with different spirits or they can mix up just about any classic cocktail you might be craving. read more

Meteor - Wreckto cooler - Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

A couple bars have been in the Meteor space in the last few years, including a super kitschy zombie den, but I'm glad to see them go back to the basics with "good ass drinks" from skilled industry folk. It's still a dark, kinda narrow bar, which is intimate. Their expertly crafted cocktails are $12, and Boilers (beer and a bump) are $9. We loved their Secret Tiger cocktail (mezcal, tequila, passionfruit, lime, chili salt) and Jumble Birb (Jamaican rum, old tom, cappelletti, pineapple, lime). I liked the Secret Tiger a little more with the balance of smokey, sweet, and sour. Their combos for the Boilers are really cool too, and usually introduce us to totally new spirits. As for food, they have packaged snacks, fresh waffles, and local Mucci's pizza. If you get a pizza "Meteor Style" (+$3), they add a yolky egg, banana peppers, and balsamic drizzle. I can't wait to see them back in action in May. read more
