She made reservations but it was nice out so we decided to sit on the patio which was fairly empty. The drinks were definitely interesting and fun! We all got different drinks the first round. My friends shared a few apps. Overall it was a nice time. The server gave us some bday shots (my bday was right before my friends) so that was really nice. The space inside is smaller so I definitely recommend making reservations! Plenty of street parking.

I shared the orbital dinner for two. We got the slab salad, alfredo mafaldine, grilled zucchini and the chocolate pot de creme. Additionally ordered the wagyu zabuton, fries, and some cocktails. I would get the wagyu and fries again. I was not impressed with the other dishes, but nothing was bad. Also the cocktails are always great here. Service was a bit slower than desired; so if you are in a rush this might not be the spot for you. Recommend Stargazer for their drinks! I would say food is not bad but not the best for similar joints.

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!

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.

Especially when living in Minnesota where sometimes you need to escape your troubles (cold weather) and head to a tropical paradise for a bit. We came in through the alley entrance but you can come through public domain to get to it...through the curtains. Both restaurants have shared bathrooms. Damian was our cruise director at the tiki bar for the evening. He provided great cocktail suggestions and it was nice to chat him up while we sat at the bar. I ordered Hot In The Shade but wish they would bring back the Chi Chi. Drinks can be pricey but well worth it considering the exotic cups and atmosphere. There's a great photo op in the back close to the restrooms that's a must do when visiting as well. Lots of TVs playing surfing or coastline views. Highly recommend this place!

Take some of those fries and dip them into the Mac... you're in heaven. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area who hunkering for a good meal!

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!

Overall had a good time and great views.

Added the review to NOLOs as well.

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.

They checked on us often and were so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The work at the ferries wheel was also very funny and made jokes every time we passed. Overall, a perfect spot for great food and a really fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!

Go at night for a great view and bring your food and drinks!
