    Mexican candy shot

    It was nice out and wanted to hit a patio. Decided to go to west end cause theres a lot of options and chose the loop. Very chill patio area, had a nice cocktail and some garlic fries. Server was very helpful and service was prompt. Will definitely go back.

    P.S. I Love You

    Had the P.S. I Love You to drink, one of my favorites! Had the #2 flatbread to eat. Overall was good, think there was a little too much cheese (never thought I'd say that) but the pesto had good flavor. Our server was wonderful!

    This is definitely a sports bar! Wall to wall TV of sports! Good place to watch the Vikings game! Good food and good service. You just have to be patient when they're full. I got the loop burger and it was great! This is worth a try and definitely a great place to hangout with friends!

    Went for the first time early Saturday evening. Service was great. Food was really good. I also had a very nice tropical drink. The only part I didn't like was that I forgot my doggy bag!!!

    The Loop was a last minute, "driving around to find something new surprise!" The patio was a bit wet from the morning weather, so we chose to eat inside. The ambiance was very open and looks like a great place to come with groups of friends Lots of screens with their own branded video channel fun to hear so many 80s and 70s throwbacks mixed in! Definitely need to try the brick oven flatbread next time! Delicious food, great staff. Reminds me a bit of Scottsdale AZ restaurants. I had the Blackened chicken and avocado melt. Flavors were great! I up graded to the garlic fries, because...duh, garlic! Enjoy!

    Very cute date night spot! We opted to sit outside and enjoy the nice summer night. We opted for a flatbread, salad and French onion soup. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back.

    Chicken pesto flatbread

    Super impressed with this place! I've driven by a bunch but never had the chance to go.. however, when I found out they were an official Loons watch place, I made it a point to go for the Allstars game (as one of the Loons made the team!!) I made reservations through open table with a note that we were coming to watch the game. When we arrived it was pretty quiet, so they let us pick the TV we wanted to watch the game on and they sat us accordingly. Our server was amazing and super knowledgeable about the bar menu.. she saved me from ordering something that had an ingredient that I was allergic to in it. The buffalo egg roll things were SO GOOD.. the flatbread kind of forgettable.. but we will be back to try more for another away game!

    Double smash burger, garlic fries, and ranch.

    I found this establishment by simply asking some locals on the street while walking to the grocery store from my hotel. They told me the food and service as well as the atmosphere was a complete package. I sat at the bar and asked the bartender to tell me what is the go to items. Took his suggestion and went with the double smash burger with garlic fries and a side of ranch. Wow is all I have to say. The meat quality and portions with the price were great. I paired it with a local hazy ipa. However, I was still hungry and opted for the mini donuts. Holy smokes those things were good. They came with 10 mini sized and I ate all of them. This is a must visit spot for sure

    Calamari
    Stacy A.

    This place is one of my favorite casual places in the West End! Kid friendly, decent food selection and a great happy hour if you happen to come during that time of day! I came here with both adults and kids the other day and we had a nice time. I wasn't too hungry and just had calamari, it had just the right amount of spice and seasoning and I appreciate that the calamari came with both aioli and a red sauce.

    Dance floor
    Lucy N.

    My friends and I love coming here when we are in the mood to dance on a weekend! They draw a big crowd and it's a fun alternative to the bars downtown. The drinks are good and the layout is fun with tables but also a big dance floor. The bartenders are fast and take care of the big crowd impressively fast!

    Blackened Chicken & Avocado Melt(Delivery)
    Sadie S.

    tried the blackened chicken & avocado melt for takeout during a work dinner. let me just say the garlic fries.. POTENT. i couldn't keep the lid open without getting choked out with garlic fumes. despite the fumes the fries weren't my favorite. i love a sourdough bread so i wasnt mad at the sandwich. they put two chicken breasts which is generous & the avocado was fresh & green. it was just decent.

    I had an awesome time brunching at The Loop this past Saturday. After canceling our original plans, we did a quick search and my buddy suggested that we eat here bcuz he's heard great things about it and works nearby. I love the great amount of indoor and outdoor seating that's available. We chose to sit outside and bask in the fresh outdoor summer breeze. The appetizer wings were really tasty and made well. I got the Loop Burger with fries and it definitely hit the spot. Really nice burger and the fries had a dash of parmesan!! The blackened chicken avocado melt was solid. Could've used a sauce of some type but I would say I'm indifferent about it and would look at other sandwich options next time. Free parking in the ramps nearby and service was really good. I love when I can ask the waiter/waitress what they recommend and they've actually tried items from the menu.

    Waguy burger
    Laura O.

    Great service and food! We arrived early for a birthday party and had some happy hour cocktail and avocado roll at the bar. I had the pictured drink a raspberry gimlet......NUMMY! The avocado rolls were good but I would be a little embarrassed as they were maybe the size of my thumb, they look larger in photo. I had the mushroom fettuccini which I labeled in the phot and it was great, did not even miss that it had any protein but you could ass shrimp or chicken for like $6.00 more. My cousin ordered the lettuce wraps from the happy hour menu and they were delicious and plentiful for a happy hour portion. The Soup was lobster bisque for $14.00 and my friend never mentioned if it was good, great or bad. My boyfriend had wagyu burger and said it was one of the best every, with an everything bun. We went at 4:00 and found parking right away and we left about 7:30 and they were not very busy it was a Monday night though and I saw signs that Monday nights is 1/2 priced bottles of wine, but none of us were interested in wine last night.

The person I met there waited over 10 minutes at the host stand before anyone acknowledged them.

Once we were seated, it also took a while before our server came by. That said, our server ended up being super friendly and attentive the rest of the visit. We ordered an Irish lemonade, a cold beer, and the Gaelic Whiskey Bites. They were exactly what you'd expect with an extra crunchy exterior, but the sauce was actually really good!

For me I would rather have it arrive on my breakfast plate because I am one of those folks that likes to dip their toast in their over-easy egg yolks.
