Technically speaking an excellent burger. Genuinely, no complaints. Well, one complaint, I don't like the egg bun. But I can't argue it's BAD, I just don't like it. Anyway, the problem is, you eat an excellent burger. You think, "is that really all there is"? And then you're left with the emptiness of life stretching before you. A yawning void of existence, your helpless human soul buffeted by meaninglessness. And then if you want to drink about it you're handing over something like $10 for a pour of bourbon. So, life is meaningless, the burger is good, rents in the "North Loop" should be lower. That about covers it I think. read more

Wow, this burger was heavenly. It packs so much flavor with a few thin juicy burger patties, melted cheese & a buttered up bun. The fries were cooked well too. We enjoyed the meal with a crisp glass of Pinot Grigio that was perfectly chilled & in a nice, thin-rimmed wine glass (this matters!!). read more

I love the parlour. I continue to go here because I'm always impressed with the service, drinks, and ambiance. It's also nice that they change their menu seasonally, and their holiday drinks are fun. It's a great place to go before or after your dinner plans. read more

Parlour - Seasonal drinks - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Parlour never disappoints, the burgers are fantastic, caramelized outside, juicy inside, and a soft toasty bun. Pair that with their crispy shoe string style fries and you've created a cozy match made in heaven. The only thing I would change is that they would be open for lunch, but I get it they're protecting my lunch money. read more

Parlour seems to be on everyone's list as the top burger in Minneapolis and I'm glad I got to try it out. I had their signature Parlour Cheeseburger and it was good - nice tender and meaty beef patties, topped with a generous amount of cheese. The inclusion of an egg bun added an additional layer of richness. I also tried their fries and those were amazing - I actually thought the fries were better than the burger. The menu here isn't very big, so I'd suggest looking at it before you go to the restaurant and determine if there's anything you'd like beforehand. The service was attentive. read more

No complaints! We were able to walk in on a Saturday night with no wait (they don't take reservations) and got seated right away. The Parlour menu itself is quite small with burger, a few add ons (fries, etc.) and some others. You also get the Burough menu which is upstairs and has more entree/coursed out options. I got the Co Pilot cocktail (not pictured) which is a gin based drink that was super super yummy! We then split a burger just to taste and it was great. Very simple with two smash burger patties and cheese. It honestly doesn't need much more than that. Awesome flavor and super moist meat, it almost melts in your mouth for a burger. Atmosphere was perfect - it's a darker intimate prohibition esque setting in the basement but have outdoor seating if you'd prefer. Staff is on it, music was on point and overall just a good vibe. Lived up to the hype and a good place to hangout if you're looking for something low key but quality! read more

They do just few things... but what they do is pretty great. This restaurant is the basement sister to the larger menu restaurant (Borough) located just above. If you want more choices, chose them... but if you love a good burger or chicken sandwich, take the steps down below street level! As I said, Burgers, Chicken sandwiches and also a Salad are basically your entree options. They have some sides, including some pretty great fries. Might be one of the better burgers in Minneapolis! The bar is top notch. All types of high end spirts are available and the bartenders are exceptional. Service was a bit spotty on this occasion. Refills were tough to get along with some check snafu's. I would easily assume that this is a one off, based on prior experiences at this restaurant. Plus, it was pretty busy and staffing seems a bit short. read more

Hands down best burgers in the business !! Fries are to die for. We got seated right away and food came out extra quick. 10/10!!!

On a blustery and cold Tuesday night in the first week of April, we walked from our hotel to Parlour, needing an adult cocktail bar with sustenance. The drinks at Parlour are always superb, and the ambiance is nurturing. For food, there are two choices really, an excellent burger or a tasty chicken sandwich. We chose burgers and fries. Joey, the bartender, mixed me delicious cocktails as we awaited the birth of our first grandchild who arrived later that night, Morgan Kay (Aretha) Anderson 6lbs 3ozs. read more

It was packed on a Saturday early evening in Parlour but I still managed to have a decent spot to enjoy a drink and watch people. Loved the Parlour's old fashioned. It must be the local liquor they used, smoky and tasty, probably the best Old Fashioned I've tried so far in Minneapolis. Although the most popular food is the burger, I decided to try the falafel and deviled egg, oh my gosh, five stars. It's great to have a change if you've never gotten to try the falafel as the delicious Parlour's burger will most likely fill you up. I've heard so many good things about their fries, definitely worthy. Last but not least, the services were awesome regardless how busy they are. Shoutout to Sulli, my waitress. One of many Minnesotans with lovely personality, which added up to the solid five star review. read more

We came for their Parlour burgers which did not disappoint. I heard they are the best in the city and I may have to agree! And we had the mixed greens appetizer which was large enough to split between two people. The dressing was good. We also got four deviled eggs and they had a unique curry flavor which we were not expecting but they were still tasty. Make sure to have a reservation on a Saturday night if you're going for dinner since it was already packed when we arrived around 6 PM. It's also a small intimate place so not a ton of seating. This is a great place for a date night dinner or to have some drinks with friends. It's got a speakeasy feel to it. read more

Parlour has officially set my standard for five star reviews. After my first experience you know I had to come back a second time. I'm over the sign fiasco (see previous review) because the taste of Parlour + FANTASTIC service from Anna & Upstairs Bartender Guy completely made up for it. I don't know where they find these people but Parlour/Borough should be in charge of everyone's hiring process. The staff doesn't miss. I obviously didn't grab my first bartender's name but he was awesome. There was a short wait so we grabbed a drink upstairs with him (very good) before heading down to eat. Once we got downstairs we ordered the Parlour burger (of course) and a couple cocktails from Anna who we've talked about multiple times since. Long story short, we came to the conclusion that she is the most perfect server you could ask for. Google "traits of successful servers" if you want the details. When I ordered my second drink she warned me it would be a bit more alcohol forward. I thought I could handle it and then I realized I should've listened to her. I asked if I could grab a chaser (because that's the way I roll) but she offered to make me a new drink. She said they want to make sure we like what we're drinking. I love that. I could go on forever about Parlour. It's an A++ all around from me - they've definitely earned it. read more

Pros: the food was excellent! I highly recommend the burger with French fries and the aioli sauce. Also the cocktails were top-notch! Cons: the service. We waited for 30 minutes to get a burger. Our server was extremely inattentive which was very disappointing. read more

Wow, what is there not to love about parlour?! A true basement speakeasy vibe of worn leather and dim lighting. I've been here multiple times and have always had exceptional service. The cocktails are to die for, but be sure to check out their signature old-fashioned. If you are looking for the BEST smash burger in Minneapolis, look no further. They have exceptional burgers, and the order of fries on the side is a generous portion. Whether you are looking for a new date spot or just grabbing some great grub, parlour is the place to be! read more

I have been wanting to come here FOREVER! Everyone has told me about how amazing the burgers are- and I finally got to try one and it was so delicious. By far my favorite burger in the twin cities and possibly the world?! My boyfriend said "I don't think burgers will ever get better than this." So you know it's good! We got the classic parlour dinner with the burger, fries with Swiss aioli, and a cocktail- I got the St. George's Infirmary with dragon fruit! Yum! The vibe is very fun with great music, mood lighting, and it was packed! I will say I have tried to come here twice before and the wait was like 2 hours- today it was just 30 minutes so be prepared to wait a while but it is SO worth it! Is it weird that I want to come back again tomorrow?? read more

This place tricked us with how to find the entrance, luckily we had friends who helped us but that was a fun start. Parlour bar is located in the basement of the Borough. Cozy intimate sophisticated lounge-y type atmosphere. The corpse reviver number blue cocktail was boozy with a hint of that blue curaçao flavor, yum! My partner thought his old fashioned was well balanced. We shared the parlour burger which came highly recommended. The burger was juicy and full of beef flavor. We were surprised the fries were so good! DO NOT miss the chance to order the fries. The Swiss aioli to dip the fries in just completed the meal perfectly. Parlour bar was such a fun stop before walking to Acme Comedy Club. read more

Cool cozy atmosphere, fabulous food, tasty cocktails! We enjoyed 4 cocktails for our Valentine's Day date here: the Parlour Old Fashioned (which we also had on our first date a couple years ago, aww!), Leather & Lace, Travel Companion, and Coffin Nail. Impossible to choose a favorite among all these delicious elixirs. You can't go wrong. I did appreciate the super cute heart ice cube in my old fashioned. Service was attentive yet relaxed and well-paced for our leisurely dinner. Food was fantastic, as always. I had the falafel (thanks for adding another vegetarian option to the menu!), my partner had the classic Parlour Burger, and we shared a basket of fries with Swiss aioli. Yummy everything! Awesome that we could be seated at a high top without a reservation on a relatively busy evening. Fun music playing, too. We'll absolutely be back! read more

I don't take the claim of the best burger in Minneapolis lightly, so I had high expectations coming to Parlour for the first time. Lucky for me (and the rest of the world), Parlour truly has mastered the cheeseburger!!! I'll save you the gushing and just note the highlights: -Two smashed patties grilled to perfection -American cheese that actually had flavor -Perfectly crisp outside/soft inside bun -Pickles are always a plus The French fries were also amazing-- Pretty salty but I loved it! However, I don't think the Swiss cheese aioli was worth it for the extra $3. The cocktails also stand up on their own! We tried the Frank the Tanq (gin) and the Barrel Roll (bourbon). Both were super yummy and got presentation points!! The basement lounge vibes are also impeccable. The booths are cozy and the chairs are all quirky. There are mirrors and everywhere (and a boar head), and the bar has lots of character! A great intimate date night spot! read more

I went here for the first time this past weekend with some friends and it was an AMAZING meal. I would say it was definitely the best burger I've had in the twin cities. We ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was good and we all enjoyed it, but the burger was the true standout. It was simple and perfectly executed. With an egg bun, melty cheese, pickle chips, and perfectly seasoned, this burger was incredible. At some other burger places, I've worried about the burger coming out dry, but this one was cooked perfectly. We also ordered the fries (split between 4 of us) and a side of Swiss aioli (100% worth it)! The ambiance and vibe of the restaurant were great, super cool with dim lighting/speakeasy vibe and a nice place to meet friends to talk over great drinks and even better food. Service was quick as well. Overall, it was an amazing meal I have kept thinking of since, and I will definitely go back! Pro tip: if you spend $50 or more, valet parking is free (not including tip)! read more

OVERALL: there's a reason why "the parlour burger" is on every twin cities burger list. FOOD: every time I come here, I make sure to order "the burger", an order of fries (which can easily feed 2 and comfortably 4), and the Swiss aioli. Do not miss on the Swiss aioli! It is a must for eating with the fries and burger. The burger is a smash burger that is salted on the heavy side (in a great way!) and I personally love white cheese over a classic cheddar. The pickles are dill and not bread and butter pickles which I prefer. This time, we added the chicken sandwich to our order and definitely didn't regret it. It was a crispy patty with mayo and lettuce. It was delicious but not as good as other chicken sandwiches I've had and I still prefer the burger. It's still worth a try! ATMOSPHERE: It's an extremely cozy and chill vibe with leather booths. Laid back, but you can also choose to dress nice as well. SERVICE: Our server was attentive which is all we can ask for. PRICE: This isn't a bargain burger deal. $16.99 for a burger, $7.5 for a side of fries. $15 for the chicken sandwich, and $3 for the Swiss aioli. Drinks are $11-$15 each. read more

I'm a fan. My 23 yearold daughter has been raving about this place even pre-covid. This afternoon we were both hangry on a late Saturday afternoon and she said "I know just the place". We each enjoyed a "It's more tingly than hot" (spicy margarita) , shared the burger and fries and the swiss aioli for dipping. Little did I know when our waiter asked if we needed ketcchup or mustard and I said "yes".. what a Parlour rookie answer I gave- no... not needed at all. Food is a bit on the salty side for me ...but it stilll disapeered. Loved the indoor area that is a bit of a speakeasy feel with the upolstry and dark vibe- totally loved it. Nice service also. My daughter was happy that I like it too. She has good taste. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Parlour on a Saturday evening. It was busy in around the restaurant and we chose to park in a nearby parking garage. Parlour is located beneath Borough and it is necessary to walk down a flight of stairs to enter the restaurant. It was busy at the time we entered and we were told the wait time for a table would be about 45 minutes. Our mistake for not making a reservation. Luckily we got seated faster than that and were seated at the bar. The bartender was really nice and all the drinks we ordered were great. They had unique flavor profiles and came in unique glasses. We both ordered the Parlour burger and a side of fries with aioli dipping sauce. The Parlour burger was nice. It was not too greasy and had a good amount of cheese. However, I did think it was a tad bit dry. The overall environment of the restaurant is dark and mysterious. I can see how this would be a cozy place to grab a burger in the winter. read more

I was in town for work for 4 nights, and I ended up here 2 of those nights. Night one I stopped in with coworkers to try the Old Fashioned. It really was the best cocktail we had the entire trip. Night two I came back thanks to peer pressure to try the burger. I kind of regret doing so, because it was easily one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life, and was definitely the best meal I had all trip. Do yourself a favor and get the aioli as well! read more

I heard they just got voted the best Burger in Minnesota. The burger was fantastic. It's a fun speakeasy that's a little hard to find (no sign outside) with a basement stairway going down to it. The deviled egg was also really good...blue cheese mixed with some mustard and fried chicken skin. Apparently the Old Fashioned is the second most popular thing on the menu (behind the Burger) and my friends said that was good as well. read more

Excellent cocktail menu. Great bartenders who were extremely accommodating. I would highly recommend for stopping in before a show or later in the evening for a nightcap read more

This is easily one of the best burgers in the Twin Cities. It's pretty heavy, so I find it is great to split with some French fries and the aioli on the side! The indoor setting is intimate but not cramped. I'm not a huge fan of the outdoor seating since you're sitting right on the street, but the food more than makes up for this. read more

Stopped by for a few cocktails. The service was great and very diverse cocktail menu. They also offered a "soup du jour" which is basically bartender's choice cocktail at a deal. I would recommend people to definitely stop by for a cocktail or two. They were very good about COVID safety precaution by wearing masks and gloves. read more

FOOD/DRINKS: I was told to go to Parlour to get their one entree item, the Parlour burger... and let me tell you, it was the best burger I have ever had. You know if a place only has one item it's going to be incredible, and it did not disappoint. The side of fries was also MASSIVE and was enough for our whole table. As far as the drinks go, we all tried something super unique and loved it!! The presentation was great, and my drink tasted like a piña colada. The "mojo dojo casa house" was also an amazing fruity drink. SERVICE: The service was great! It took a while for us to be seated because it was so busy, so be prepared to wait for a while. However the ambiance down there is so cool I didn't mind. Plus, we were able to have some drinks while we waited! AMBIANCE: Definitely a speakeasy vibe! I had no idea Parlour was underground, so it was a great surprise. Very dimly light and old school vibes. LOCATION/PARKING: If you live in North Loop, it is definitely worth it to walk there, as parking can be hard to find near this area. read more

What a treat! My only my only regret is that we we only there for drinks and appetizers, and not more food! This review is a love note to the deviled egg. I was skeptical about getting ONE egg half for $3... but then it came out and blew my mind. The egg is presented in this cute little egg shaped plate. The flavors layered soo well! It was like a deconstructed hot wing: Egg base, the egg yolk mixture had something cheesy and mild spice, topped with celery shred, a dash of hot sauce and crispy chicken skin. It was EXCELLENT!! I ordered one to start and came back for a second! read more

We got two drinks ... both were yummy! I got the deviled egg.. and although pricey... was super yummy! Got the fries and the aoli... yum yum yum!! But that burger?! That burger bay-bay...was next level!! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance was also nice... like a speakeasy feel. Very comfy but not overdone. Loved the atmosphere!! read more

My first time at Parlour was for a work event. We ended up reserving the entire front entry way (well a portion but we took over the other side as well) during the week and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I ended up doing two different dealers choice mocktails and I didn't overly enjoy them. I asked for something fruity, the first one wasn't great and when I asked for a different one the next time it tasted the exact same but in a different shaped glass lol. I won't hold this against them since it was dealers choice. We ordered a bunch of food to share: octopus, burgers, fries, deviled eggs, cookies... it was a lot of food. The one thing I will note is their menu is super small and doesn't offer much for vegetarians which was a huge bummer. I was there for three hours and only ate French fries and a cookie. They could expand ever so slightly and it would be ten times better. Cookie was super interesting, it seemed to have everything in it and it felt like an edible treasure hunt. Overall this place has a cool vibe and plays great music. If they worked in some vegetarian options I would be more inclined to return. However; if you eat meat and love a good drink I would recommend it. read more

(4.5 stars) Dam this burger hit the spot. Read about this burger on some best of lists and knew I had to stop by. It's a happening spot with a cool lounge and cocktail vibe. But the burger really steals the show. It's a high quality meat and fluffy bun combo that kinda feels like the old stovetop burgers from a neighborhood joint but elevated. I had to show so much restraint not to devour it too quickly. Well worth the the half hour walk over, as were the fries and beer, though I wasn't crazy about the dill aioli, would've preferred something with a little heat. read more

Birthday dinner and we wanted to try a local Legend. When you win or come second multiple years in a row for Minneapolis best burger I am going to visit and was I impressed.

Add a fries and fried egg and ask the waitress what the drink specials are and you have a date! Erica spoiled me with a night out on the town and this was amazing first stop. Limited seating in the north loop location if you want reservations check out St Paul or one of the sister restaurants! read more
