Love this place! Great addition to to the neighborhood . Is nice to have a place to walk to to grab a beer.

100+ beer selection and great food with a super Hostess and Andrew the waiter! Look no further for a great experience!

First time going to Pat's Tap for Sunday lunch. Everything was great! Alma and the entire staff took complete care of us. Glasses were never close to empty, bloody's were perfect spice level, goat cheese fritters, and the smoked trout melt made the visit even better. Can't wait to go back and play skee-ball! Big fan! read more

Notice there are no stars! I live 2 blocks away and frequent pats about twice a month. Usually the service and food are quite good. The acoustics are loud both inside and out. Today it took the host 15 mn to seat us. Another 15 mn before we ever got water. We placed our food and beverage order then. After another 30 min we finally saw our waiter again delivering drinks to a table that arrived after us. He said they were still making ours. We left. We are both disgusted with the shi**y service. There are lots of other places to spend my food dollar that actually appreciate out business read more

This is such a great place to grab happy hour with coworkers, or meet someone for dinner or a date. Service has always been top notch!

This is a comfortable local pub. They serve pork belly skewers and that's all it really takes for me to swear allegiance to anything, really. The hollandaise is good; portions are okay. You won't be too full for skee-ball afterwards. Neighborhood parking is usually easy enough. read more

Fabulous food and really great service. We went here for a Friday lunch and I lived the combination of flavors and the great beer selection. They also have something for every food preference. I had the Bloody Mary sandwich, and my husband had the bison burger. I don't eat so much meat but both were a really great combo of flavors! Honesty best burger I've tasted in years. The sandwich had a red pepper jam, wow, topped it off. read more

Pats Tap has a great beer selection. The only thing is that I wished that they actually had more beers on tap, most come in cans. However the atmosphere is great and I love how they have a real old school ski ball machine! The only food I tried was the cheese curds and they were pretty good too! Great place to meet with friends and enjoy a great craft brew. read more

I've only had their Brunch--try the Grapefruit Mimosa! The atmosphere is pretty lively, and it's located in a fun diverse neighborhood...which makes the next part difficult to say since I really want to like their Brunch but it's just not hitting the spot. The downside of Pat's was their food --unfortunately it just hasn't been that great and there are only a few items that my friends and I have really liked overall. I'd say go for the french toast--or something a bit more simple. Their omelette's just aren't that great. And it wouldn't hurt to get some fruit on the menu! Their service was okay...for a busy place. Maybe just stick with the drinks... read more

I have visited Pat's Tap a couple of times now, most recently for dinner on a random Thursday night earlier this month. On this occasion I decided to go with the Rachel and gourmet chips, seeing as I have been on a mammoth Rachel kick as of late (my 5th Rachel in the last few months to be exact). Additionally I ordered a delicious beer and shared in some of my wife's Caesar salad. The Rachel was definitely good, although slathered with a little too much sauce and definitely overpriced at 13 bucks. I did enjoy the chips but would have preferred soup, salad, veggies, or even fries. My wife enjoyed her garden angel hair pasta entrée. Our waiter Andrew was extremely friendly and attentive (there was a nearby fire that day and he was very worried about how bothersome the smoke was to us), and we really enjoyed sitting outside. read more

In the regular brunch rotation -- again a place you can usually get in on peak weekend hours. The skee-ball is a big plus for the kiddos, and the brunch fare is above-average. Kim's restaurants are always very gluten free-friendly which the wife loves. Where else can I get a can of Olympia with my biscuits and gravy in the Twin Cities? read more

Loud, loud, loud, but tons of fun and the food is better than expected. If you can, try to score the table in the back by the Skeeball...fun to watch and oddly enough, less noisy than the rest of the place. The homemade chips are addictive. read more

I want to like this place more but something about it is just okay. The burgers are good, the potato skins are tasty, but I'm just not in love and it's hard to put my finger on why that is. Maybe it's the atmosphere? I feel like I remember liking it better when I visited in the summer and sat out on the patio, but I don't think that's it. read more

Stopped in at Pat's Tap on a whim, expecting to grab a simple beer and some standard bar grub. Wow were we blown away! Great beer selection, and the food was quite spectacular. Our only complaint was that it was really crowded and so we had to opt for eating at the bar--darn them for being successful! But the company at the bar was fun and so we made the best of it. Parking was also a bit tricky. read more

The atmosphere is great. Love the old school game room. Cocktails are phenomenal. Also enjoyed the Bloody Mary sandwich and the cheese curds. read more

I have been to pats many times. I really like it and it's atmosphere....until today. I went in today with a few friends to get a beer and food. We didn't get our drinks before the " manager " comes over to tell me that I am not allowed in here anymore....I began to ask why...? He said that I wrote something on something about someone. He was very mistaken. I left and I very disappointed in the way he handled the situation because I have no idea what he was talking about plus it was really embarrassing to do. I am very upset. read more

I only had breakfast here. and I'm definitely going back! The hashbrowns were phenomenal!! I swear they had creamy soup mixed in with them. The flavor was a amazing. Great looking patio too. I may muster up the courage to try out the ski ball next time. read more

Pat's Tap is a nice neighborhood bar to have. Fun atmosphere, cool drinks and variety of games. Food? It's ok. The fried pickles are pretty good, probably some of the best I've had but as my GF said, "It's still just fried pickles." The pork belly skewers are also good. Not something to rave about but for "bar food" it'll do. The Bacon burger (apparently 50/50 bacon and beef? Don't get me started on how this would be cooked to Rare and still okay to eat) was okay. I wouldn't order it again. We did go there for the "Blingo" night and that was fun. Although it gets pretty hard to have a conversation and drink while playing "Blingo". read more

The cheesecurds are legit. It's the closest thing to the MN State Fair that my taste buds know of. Also they have a great happy hour AND Skee-Ball for 25 cents. A-maze-ing! read more

Finding parking was difficult. I finally got in. Ordered a Bloody Mary. They claim they are homemade but tasted very artificial. I had a cheese burger. It was dripping with grease and the cheese was burnt. I did not like what I ordered at all. However when I told the waiter my issue he removed my meal off of the bill without a problem. He was very accommodating. read more

Food was good, good, good! Fried green beans were good, but goat cheese fritters were awesome! Had the bison burger (real good) and the harissa chicken sandwich and it's not often that I prefer a chicken sandwich over a burger, but man! That chicken sandwich is so tasty! Definitely would recommend and already have spread the word to friends about this restaurant. Will be back! read more

Pulled pork is delish! Side salad is just greens. Good fries! Tap beer selection could be bigger.

We went here for lunch today and arrived at 12. There were two, loud people, who appeared to be drunk playing pool and us in the entire restaurant. It was dead. I ordered a burger on a gluten free bun and my gf got a grill cheese. For being the only two people in whole restaurant we couldn't figure out why our food was taking so long. When the food FINALLY came out it was wrong. The waitress informed me that the burger was not on a gluten free bun and that we she would take it back and have a new one made. So I waited, and waited, and waited.. My girlfriend finished her lunch and then we waited. I was just about to tell her never mind and pay our bill but then mine came out. It was on toast not a bun, because they ran out of gluten free buns. Anyone who eats gluten free knows that eating a burger on dry, crumbly toast is not tasty. At this point I was really hungry so I devoured it. My meal was $11.50 plus $2 for fries plus $1.50 for gluten free toast. So for $15 plus tax, was not acceptable. We figured something would be taken off the bill like the $2.50 glass of Diet Coke or the up charges for the substitutes but nothing was taken off, we were shocked but needed to get to the airport to catch a flight so we just needed to get out of there. I don't think I'll be back for food. Not impressed but maybe for a drink on a sat night..... read more

Pat's Tap - Burger on gluten free toast - Pubs Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

See all

Got there and there was a 25 minute wait.It was well worth it , had a few drinks and played on the only working skeeball machine.The service was great and so was the food. Had the mussels with white wine ,garlic and lemon and various cheeses/breads. ...delicious.Tasted the veggie curry, it was Ok but lacking of curry spice.I would recommend Pat's tap and will definitely be going back! read more

After all the hype, meh is the best I can say. Beer selection was unsurprising and the food was marginal. So called "frittes" were plain old ordinary (but overpriced) french fries. Crab cakes were more mashed potato than crab served on a bizarrely sweet squishy white roll. Only the mussels were worth the trip. There are too many good spots in town to warrant a return read more

Great place but why are you so overpriced??? Your burger is so expensive and I can go many other places for cheaper and better taste. Offer more $10 to $12 sandwiches and I'll be back. Great salad with French and ranch! read more

Cheese curds and chicken sandwich are the only food I get here. Their food is kind of weird. Definitely stay away from the mussels and burgers. Overall it's a good atmosphere, friendly waitresses and strong drinks. read more

Drinks are really great here but the food is hit or miss. The Ramen I had did not have enough broth! It was gross to eat a bunch of dry noodles and the pork belly reminded me of that pig fat my momma used to put in beans to give them flavor. read more

It's a pretty good environment and it has really good specialty fries but the beer prices are pretty outrageous. There's not much to complain about the size that. read more

This place is awesome, thanks to the well chosen taps served by the two best bartenders I've ever encountered: Mike B and Katie M!

Overall good. Good beer selection, home made pretzel was amazing. Skee-ball was quite fun. Crowded on a Saturday night, faster to get drinks from the bar and a touch spendy but overall good. Breakfast was quite solid though not fantastic. read more

Charlie at Pat's is the cream of the beer slinging crop. A real good crew runs a tight and happy tipsy ship at this gem in south Minnie .

Vegetarian friendly with delicious options. The black rice burger is worth trying; the pickled beets are a great addition to the burger. Great local beer selection! read more

I went here for the first time yesterday for lunch and ordered the BLT salad (large - salad bar style). The nice waitress came back with a big bowl with a huge pile of pale iceberg lettuce that had one shaved radish on it, a boiled egg, and a few strands of julienned carrots. This was supposed to be my entire lunch. It was a BLT salad. "Where is the Bacon? Where is the Tomato?" I asked her. She looked at me confused. "It is a BLT salad. Did they forget to put most of the toppings on it? There is no bacon. There is no tomato. It is missing two of the three ingredients in the title of the thing." Oh. Our cook is (she mumbles something). A short while later she comes back with the same huge bowl of pale lettuce and sparse vegetables and what looks like one piece of fried bacon crumbled on top, and one small pale tomato that has been chopped thrown in there. Since I was with an acquaintance I did not know well, I did not feel comfortable continuing to protest about this "salad". I tried to eat what I could of the flavorless mess and just assumed that either the restaurant really sucks, or the chef just has never eaten a salad before for a meal in his life and has no idea what that might really supposed to look like. SUPER GROSS. I will never go back. There are way too many other restaurants in Minneapolis. read more

Pat's has a nice outside patio. Service was good and mixed drink was made perfectly. Food was okay. I would like to try other dishes on the menu. read more

Great hang-out spot and the food is fantastic and the drink list is great for beers, fun skee ball, pool and darts...great neighborhood pub.

I like Pat's because 1) It's got a relaxed atmosphere 2) good sized patio 3) close to my house Unfortunately I find the prices to be quite high for the actual atmosphere. This is a very normal bar (think Old Chicago) with higher than normal prices. read more

The food is okay, a bit high priced but if it is actually all organic, the price would be okay. The menu does not make it clear if food is organic. The real problem with this place is the poor service. One wonders why management does not invest a bit in server training, as most professional restaurant corporations would. I understand this place is owned by a gal who owns a bunch of places so they should know how to train servers. It's not the servers fault if the feedback is consistent that service is slow bordering on negligent -- like folks going up to the bar to order their own drinks cause no one comes over. That's the manager's fault, not the servers. She sets the standard. read more

I've had the pleasure of visiting Pat's Tap a few times and have enjoyed it every visit. I can't wait for warmer weather because I think their patio would be ideal. Anyway, my friend and I found a spot at the bar and Charley (awesome chap) poured us some Deschutes Fresh Squeezed, good stuff. I like that over the bar they write on mirrors rather than blackboards- nice touch. The food is flavorful, but the prices are only so-so. read more

I love Pat's as a place to hang out and have a beer or three. I like it as a place to eat, too, but you have to pick your spots a little better for real eating. They have a great beer selection, both taps and cans. The taps are always rotating, and the menu is usually a little out of date (which is understandable since they change so often), so be sure to ask the bartender what's available if you're looking for something in particular. They also usually offer a monthly beer special that's priced cheap all month. Nice for those drinking on a budget. The games are great. Skee-ball, of course, but also pool, and a little dartboard off to the side that's dated and awkward to use because it's crowded around a table, but still a lot of fun. The food is good, but it's LOUD in there on weekends and even some weeknights. Go for lunch if you can, or be prepared to wait and to yell to your party if you want to talk while you eat. The burgers are good and the vegetable curry is fantastic. The frites are also excellent. The portions are a little small for what they charge, but in general, it's quality food at a fair, if not quite "reasonable," price. read more
