2026 Dive Bar 3 of 40…read more Just off Main Street, you will find this corner bar not far from the river. Upon entering, you will notice a small bar with an adequately stocked bar, featuring about 8 taps and a number of canned and bottled beers for your liking. There are plenty of high-top tables and booths to accommodate a decent crowd. MaGillycuddy's Bar is one of those places that instantly makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between cozy and relaxed, thanks in no small part to the awesome tin ceiling-- it kind of gives this place a vintage charm you don't see often. The crowd is just what one would expect, just regular folks enjoying a libation and watching the Wild game. And they have pulltabs!! We settled in on a high-top table and ordered beers and our lunch. The Nashville Hot Shrimp is a must-try. just the right amount of heat, and packed with flavor. The Guinness cheeseburger is an open-faced burger topped with fries, Guinness cheese sauce, and, of course, bacon. That was a bit messy, and was enjoyable, but there are some other items I will want to try before going back to that entree. Between the solid food offerings, the friendly vibe, and the cool interior, MaGillycuddy's has all the makings of a local favorite. If you're anywhere near Aonka, do yourself a favor and stop in--you won't regret it.

Always in search of a nice speakeasy experience, we came across Anoka Hardware Store while in…read moreMinneapolis before heading off to visit friends. It was a bit of a trek through rush-hour traffic from our hotel but so completely worth the trip. Discretely located through a door marked only by a red light above it we were warmly greeted by gentleman behind the hardware counter. We were prepared to answer with the password to let us in but for some reason it wasn't asked. No big deal. You are then sent through a door into the beautifully dimly-lit space of the speakeasy. There is plenty of seating, with small tables and some booths. We were shown to our table and greeted by one of the great, friendly hostesses. Drinks are ordered directly at the bar with one of the attendants. You immediately pay for your order which will then be brought to your table. Different but really a nice idea. The music was also nicely unique, with a mix of oldies from the 50's and 60's. An old black and white James Cagney movie played silently on one wall. In terms of the cocktails I have to say these are some of the most delicious and finely crafted drinks I've enjoyed. I began with the Start Your Engine, a delicious gin-based drink. My wife had an absolutely fantastic smoked Old Fashioned, smoked in a large box for a minute or two. Wow! Probably the best we've ever tasted. My second drink was another gin cocktail, the Last Word, which I'd been wanting to try for some time. A fine gin supported by green Chartreuse and lime, this was simply sublime. Highly recommended. The bar and menu is quite varied and extensive, so you're sure to find something to your liking. The space has a great vibe and mellow ambiance. Sufficiently dark, cozy and very nicely and eclectically decorated. Service was outstanding and informative. Reservations are recommended. Like many such places you are "limited" to 90-minute timeframes, which sometimes seems like not enough but ultimately works quite well. The quality of the cocktails, space and service all make for a really enjoyable time. Well worth many visits.

This place is a hidden gem... literally. You go in a side door and the entryway just has a counter…read morewith a really old cash register, which I am guessing is the old checkout counter for the hardware store that used to be there. The guy that greets you asks for the password (yes they actually have a secret password!) then he takes you through a metal door into the bar. Love the decor and ambiance. Lots of nooks and places to sit where you are not smashed right up against another table. The food is really just snacks which is fine since this is more of a go there after dinner kind of place. The cocktail menu is extensive, almost overwhelmingly so. I typically go with my gut when it comes to cocktails but because of so many options I asked one of the cocktail servers for a recommendation and was not happy with the result. I honestly think since she was so young, she probably doesn't have much experience drinking craft cocktails yet so I can only blame myself. I did try my friends' drinks and they chose wisely. I am definitely looking forward to going back and trying something else.

Service took awhile to get to us, but was good once it started. We all ordered boneless wings and they were good. Plenty of food for the money. We did have an odd experience with a man that had been over served and he came out of the restaurant and to the table and seemed like he was going to grab our food. Our server saw it happen and when he went back inside the management told him he needed to leave. He and his fiancé came out and their friends stayed inside eating. The man sat at our table and was almost impossible to get him to go away, but he decided to move to the table next to us and sit with those folks. The woman with him said they were getting married in a month and that they normally go out later... that likely won't end well. Ultimately, it did add to the experience.

Drink service was slow, we ordered a chicken strip basket and it came out BEFORE the drinks. To sum it up... just don't bother. We left and went to Billy's.

It shocked me how few people were in the bar at this time, because it's usually packed but it was lucky for us as we got really good seats. We visited just to grab some food but because of the Vikings game, they gave us tickets that were drawn after ever touchdown and quarter. They also have out free shots to everyone after every touchdown which I thought was so nice. They were purple too, it was awesome. I ordered the Caesar wrap and it was really good!! I'd definitely get it again.

Come hungry--this plate doesn't mess around…read more The Loaded Hash Browns with Polish Sausage are comfort food at its best. Crispy hash browns are covered with melted cheese, jalapeños, olives, peppers, and onions, while the grilled Polish sausage adds a smoky, savory bite that ties everything together. The sour cream and salsa on the side let you customize every bite. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and it's the kind of breakfast that keeps you coming back. If you're in the mood for something hearty with plenty of flavor, this is an easy recommendation. A great choice when you're craving a serious breakfast.

It was simply how absolutely dirty the entire bar/restaurant was. We walked in and her immediate comment was, "wow, look at the dust." Honestly it was overwhelming. I grew up in small town bars in small country towns and this has been the most grimy bar I've ever been in. The staff was absolutely awesome. We received the delight of the dinobites, and then we left. Without a doubt they probably have amazing bar food. The dinobites were one of the best fried food dishes I've ever had as an appetizer. Our waitress was super friendly and fast. Based on food taste and staff, 4 solid stars. Based on building, 2. Based on cleanliness after 3 months of being closed -3 out of 5. If you're looking for a dirty bar though, this is the place!
