They described it as an upscale dive bar which I laughed at for sure, but when I went I would say that exactly how I would describe it. It's dark and moody, but very funky and hip with the neon walls and lights. It's very small, behind the new Public Domain space. Seems like the hostesses direct people waiting on a spot there to Neon Tiger while they wait. We were able to snag one of the last tables after we ordered (there are about 5 tables for 2, and 3 standing bar tables from what I remember). The menu isn't large - it has a couple of beers, some basic cocktails and lists spirits and mixers. The only new and exciting thing on the menu is their slushy cocktails. Good news is that this place isn't very pricey, but the portions aren't huge. My small espresso martini was $12, my boyfriend's beer didn't quite look like a full pint but was only $4. We did laugh that it was called Tiger piss. The espresso martini is good, but beware there's no actual cream liquor in the drink - they seem to squirt some foamy concoction from an unmarked squeeze bottle in a fridge on top, which was interesting. Overall, would come back here if I was bar hopping for cocktails - but wouldn't go out of my way to try it again. Great idea to send people here while waiting for Public Domain!

I would say service has improved slightly, one of our group had a delayed order, but we as we were all showing up at different times, this is forgivable. The one thing that hasn't changed is the beer selection. Still excellent with several local favorites on tap.

The description and pictures on their website are misleading. The place doesn't have 28 taps!…read more Besides that and the fact that the door was locked when we arrived (people were inside, and it was after their opening time, so that was weird), the bartender was so rude we felt like she didn't want us there, and ended up leaving. We think that she was upset that the band that was playing at 6:30 was potentially not going to show up, but maybe they weren't because of how they run the place...

It always surprises me how many places that I love going to, I have not reviewed…read more And this is one of these places. I love coming here for music. They have three rooms where things happen. The main room (aka Mattson Room) has a great wood dance floor and you'll see things happening here in the afternoon (line dancing, square dancing, etc) and then bands rocking out in the evening. The 2nd room, is the medium size room. Here too I've seen all sorts of great bands play and it too has room to throw down your dance moves or just rock out. The 3rd room. Wow. This room is tiny and it is where the metal bands play. It is loud and it'll melt your face. They also offer food and drinks are way cheap. We'll come here to watch Vikings games. They have both a kitchen that offers salads and burgers, and the traditional bar frozen pizza. You're not getting a Heggies here but you will get a Jakeeno's. In the Twin Cities, this is the only place I know serving up this variety. You need a place to watch a Vikes game or the Wild? This is the place. Drink specials during Vikes games too!

The vibe is just perfect for drinking and hanging out with friends. I ordered a round of brewskis - I think it came to 13 bucks or something and the group audibly gasped (from LA, SF, Boston). So cheap and so good. Just come in and enjoy yourself - it's truly a gem of this neighborhood.

I didn't know breakfast was counter service, but since we were there pretty early there was no wait. We both ordered The Beverly (Two eggs, bacon, bread and potatoes). Potatoes were okay- no flavor unless you dipped it in the mustard. Bread was tasty and the jam was okay- not sure what type of jam it was, but it wasn't the standard. A little pricey for what we ordered- standard breakfast fare, jam with a flare. Service was okay- didn't have a ton of interaction. Water station was fairly warm water. Would possibly give it another try. Nice place to catch up with a friend.
