On awkward waiting wondering if this is one of those places where you can just seat yourself. The place is clean and the ambiance has some very nice touches to bring intrigue. The subtle candle-like light fixture was corky and added to the charm. Prices are very reasonable! I had a good idea what I wanted prior to stopping in. Food came out quickly. Less than 10 mins. Lupia was hot and delicious. My first time having one so wilk not compare it to an egg roll. The braised beef rib was tender and juicy. I pulled out the knife but only a fork is necessary. I do wish the meat was a tad saltier but just a personal preference there. Service was pleasant, attentive, and quick. The gentleman who greeted me also thanked me on my way out. It was rather pleasant experience overall and am planning on coming back to try more of the menu!

Really captures a fun dive bar and pub energy that makes you want to recommend it to others.

It's not a manufactured wanna be but a place where the customers receive warm personal greetings, great food and a true Guinness pour. We both were greeted by the owner, Jeff, and Kendall created the best chicken pot pie ever. The patrons were clearly enjoying the atmosphere and two people came over and started a lively conversation that made us feel like a part of the neighborhood. We bought some sweatshirts to remember the experience and definitely look forward to going back.

In fact a neighbor across from the patio was literally painting his white picket fence! So, it's a unique setup for a mpls brewery taproom from the start. I walked in and was assaulted by a sickeningly sweet smell. Not sure if that's them brewing up their beet beer (beet beer--WHY?!) We both ordered the Saison. It had decent belgian notes but it was half-flat and a little sweet for my taste. It's nice they have a patio but it's beset by constant traffic from 44th St on one side and a parking lot with porta pottys on the other. Not exactly getting any fresh air. Moreover, the seating at picnic tables and high tops with cheap un-cushioned bar stools felt pretty half assed but that went along with the overall theme. They allow outside food and had a food truck operating when we went there which was a plus. Ultimately neither one of us were thrilled with our first tap so we bailed. Can't speak on the entire tap line but unlikely we will come back unless our friends ask us to. So almost nearly there in every respect but not quite. 3.75/5 rounding up to 4.

We ended up parking across the street near the lake. Once inside, it's a very nice vibe with beautiful furniture and lots of natural light. They have great happy hour menu - we started with the shrimp appetizer which as flavorful and the shrimp was plump and well cooked. We also got the burger and the Waterbury salad. Burger was good, but the salad was a bit basic; I was expecting more bacon and more blue cheese dressing, it was mostly just basic iceberg lettuce which is not awesome for $13. I also tried the Hugo spritz which was refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. I will for some come back to try more things!

The holiday pop-up was definitely worth a visit, but I don't think I would go out of my way to dine here for the normal menu. From the normal menu, the Ultimate burger was good but not outstanding. The truffle fries were crispy and the truffle flavor was not overpowering. The milkshake was creamy and not too sweet. The best bite was the house salad-- the crispy lil bacon and almond bits were a great texture contrast and the sherry vinaigrette was light. From the Red Nose Room menu, the Cranberry Spritzer mocktail was sweet and tart. I would've liked a little more dilution. The Cheese Fondue was fun for the novelty, but the flavor was a little bland and the fondue could've been more warm.

Thankfully there was a dedicated parking area and we were early enough that it wasn't an issue. We got there on time and they got our tables together. Immediately upon entering, it's like a Christmas snow globe and everything in-between. The decorations were great and the servers were dressed up too. Our server was welcoming and explained our options. The space wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday lunch and we ordered drinks and appetizers. It came out but we noticed it was almost an hour since we arrived and we haven't gotten a chance to order our main dishes yet. We flagged down our server and she said she would be back to assist. Unfortunately some of our team members were running short on time not anticipating the delay, so some had to order to-go. The food came out in a reasonable time after we placed our orders and everything else went smoothly thereafter. My So Cal Burger impossible patty was slightly overcooked and dry. The fries were nicely crispy. Overall the ambiance was perfect for our holiday celebration.
