I tried the cab sauv and the red blend and both were just terribleee and I could not finish them the vodka cran i had was heavy on ice and vodka loll but it wasn't bad! Fun games in the bar which is exactly what I like to see. Went on a Thursday and it was a mix of people and a nice flow of people coming in. The bathrooms leave a little to be desired as well so try to go before you leave the house? Typical bar grime.

The food is surprisingly good for a dive bar, I can't get enough of their fries and beer cheese. I recently mixed it up and got the spinach and artichoke dip and was not disappointed! I am a creature of habit and almost always get a cider on tap but they've got a pretty decent selection of beers and cocktails if that's your thing. Service is pretty standard, they're good at checking in if you're sticking around a while for karaoke. Wide variety of karaoke goers here, if it's on youtube you can sing it! If you hate karaoke, the other side of the bar is thoroughly separated with a small hallway past the kitchen in between.

Ambiance - kinda hard to describe, it has an old time feeling. They have old booths and lighting but I guess that's what makes it special. Service - our bartender/waiter was great! Offered suggestions for my burger and told us about a delicious IPA for our drinks. Food - I had the Hellcat Inferno Burger with BBQ sauce. It was a tasty burger and went will with the Diablo sauce that was at the table. Overall it wasn't my favorite but the food was good. It's been around for over 100 years so they must be doing something right.

Clean and beautifully decorated bathrooms, all spaces had a nice feel to it. My burger was custom made and so good, I recommend - medium rare, fried egg, mayo, fried onions, lettuce and cheddar cheese.

Beckett's in uptown and Meteor Bar in Northeast are great examples of bars, both with food, that consistently go later no matter what. granted they are both in Minneapolis, so different customer base. come here, support this local establishment! they are good, just not great though they could be!! p.s. yes i am writing this from the bar, and just an update: my bill confirmed their happy hour is NOT running tonight. :/ granted the bartender never said there was happy hour and those menus weren't out, so i suspected as much. but i came for the happy hour, including food, and got neither. first world problems for sure!

I came to Maple Tavern in Maple Grove for an early birthday dinner with my aunt, who treated me to…read morea cocktail and a meal. Unfortunately, what was meant to be a celebratory evening turned uncomfortable. Our first bartender was dismissive and unfriendly from the start. The energy felt cold and unwelcoming. Later, a different bartender stepped in and completely shifted the tone as she was warm, attentive, and actually seemed happy we were there. I genuinely appreciated her professionalism. During our visit, a patron seated near us loudly glorified his sexual experiences with Black women. While that may not be the restaurant's fault directly, it created an uncomfortable atmosphere and added to the overall feeling that the space wasn't being thoughtfully managed. To make matters worse, after finishing most of our sliders (which were ordered through the first bartender), I found hair at the bottom of the basket. Finding hair in your food is never acceptable and completely disrupted what was supposed to be a special evening. We quickly paid and left. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but the combination of dismissive service, an uncomfortable environment, and a food sanitation issue made this experience disappointing especially for a celebration. I hope management takes feedback like this seriously, because no one should leave a celebratory dinner feeling unsettled instead of appreciated.

We were surprised to learn that they were hosting their Ugly Christmas Sweater Party that very day and we thought, "how fun!" Both of my parents actually had an Ugly Christmas Sweater on - what chances! I thought it was super disappointing that non of the employees were participating, nor did they recognize customers that were. Not much of a party if you ask me! The food was just okay, nothing to write home about. I tried a smash burger with waffle fries. I did appreciate that happy hour was offered 7 days a week. I had a strong, but good, tequila sour. My biggest reason for three stars is service. It was lackluster at best.

Paid extra for a side of onion rings only to be disappointed as not even warm. We waited more than usually amount of time to have our food so did not want to ask for a replacement. Potato & ham soup was satisfyingly hot. Ice cold glass served with our beer choice was great on a hot humid day. As always the environment is a solid old school bar with plenty of neon signs and wood paneling. TV's were on but only two in the bar area were broadcasting anything the rest were noting the time of the next Twins game ... boring.

The staff was friendly, and the service was relatively prompt, although I thought they looked a little understaffed. Overall, the beer selection had a little of everything, but nothing that would say wow. I will come back and see if the wings are as good as I remembered them from the other location.
