Best dive bar. I was there two times on my trip playing touch tunes and pool. Drinks are lethal. It's cold as eff inside. People are super friendly. Would go back again and again. read more

Last minute change of plans had us stopping here for a night cap before heading home. It's a huge dive bar with a huge selection of drinks. I opted for a white claw and for seltzers they had 3 different brands with multiple flavors per brand. Wow! They also have food...we had already eaten so we didn't check out the menu. We lucked out with a round table by the front and had great service from our waitress. It's a popular place with the locals. It was definitely the place to be at midnight. read more

Having been a regular at CC between 2012-2018, it was disappointing to come back today after a few years away and be "greeted" with hostility by bearded deadbeat. I'm not even quite sure what he was trying to say, but I tried to order a drink at the bar and was aggressively interrogated about where I was intending to sit? Absolutely bizarre, and he got quite angry and inappropriately rude. It's 9pm on a Monday and I just wanted to visit my old haunt, but looking through these reviews and having had that experience, it seems to be a goner. Not even worth it for the nostalgia. read more

My local watering hole-- a dive bar in its truest form. Don't come in here expecting anything fancy, don't come in here with your wedding party and expect immediate service (it's not that kinda place). Usually the place is packed on the weekend nights, and it's for a good reason. They've got pool tables, a juke box, arcade games, booths, a patio you can smoke in, and most importantly: reasonably priced drinks. I like getting a beer & a bump (of whiskey) from time to time. Bar food is hit or miss: my recos are the chicken tenders, quesadilla, or loaded tator tots. They seem to love jalapeños in the kitchen; I cannot do spicy, so I ask for them on the side. Teddy, Mike, and Jason are great bartenders... I like watching how fast they work a high volume of orders. Kimmy the waitress is the sweetest, and I like Ryan and Drake at the door. Some of the staff has turned over due to COVID, but generally good people if you treat them right. Although Randy the mgr could stand to smile a little bit more, and be friendly once in a blue moon. I've never seen Lynn the owner. Regardless, I highly recommend the CC if you come in with the right mindset, and open to mingling with others. read more

CC Club - The dry rub wings - Dive Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Arrogant workers and the drinks were terrible. Here's some small incidents of what I experienced: -Server whined about my card chip being broken, despite that he can swipe and tap. -Some dude who didn't work for the company was gatekeeping the back gate, telling people to "exit the front door like normal people" despite people exit through that gate daily; it's also not an emergency exit -A server lady yelled at everyone in the patio around 1:00 am (the bar closes at 2:00 am) to "Get the f**k out" into the restaurants. -I ordered a soda mixed with vodka and I barely taste any vodka, I think I was straight up drinking soda. -The cheese curds that I ordered were burnt. I get a dive bar the edginess is the experience, yet at least make it up for the food and make your drinks stronger. read more

Dusty, dirty, unwelcoming: both the bartender as well as the actual restaurant. I haven't had service this bad in years. I thought it was going to be a nice dive bar. Turned out to be me receiving bigoted jokes, unprofessionalism, and hostility. Also overpriced for crappy drinks. You stand in line and he helps anybody 1) white and 2) male, before you. Literally goes out of his greasy way to make you uncomfortable. So much wrong. The customers aren't much better. The bartender must suffer from low self esteem and has no power in his life. It seems he feels more important by being rude to certain customers. That ugly, entitled attitude does not make you hip. I felt like I was surrounded by the cast of The Beverly Hillbillies. read more

Horrible service--especially if you're unlucky enough for the bartender to harass you for no particular reason. The ambience is "old elitist Gen-X hipster" and depressing. I was inspired to create a Yelp account just to give it 1 Star. I only came here cuz the Bulldog (a much better bar) was too busy and I needed somewhere warm to plan my next move. I played some music on TouchTunes and the bartender said it was corny. I thought he was teasing me for fun. Then he doubled down and called it "cornball bull$h!t" clearly intending to make me feel stupid. It was the loser Willie Nelson wannabe guy with the stupid waxed mustache--a very sad, small, power-tripping degenerate. Now I play that same song on TouchTunes whenever I walk by, which is pretty frequently. This place sucks. Next time I'm in the area I'll just lay down in traffic since that sounds like a better vibe than this bar. Do not recommend. read more

Server was terrible, she stood around and talked to every customer and took 30 mins to get a drink. She sucked.

CC Club is a stain on the neighborhood. I don't know who started hiring here or making decisions, but the people that work here are arrogant, sniveling, rude, gross and unkempt. I cherished this place while I was still in the cities after growing up here, and it used to be a gem. I recently walked in while visiting home with my fiancé, and we were greeted with a literally drooling bartender who proceeded to bark at us about etiquette because we wanted to sit at the bar (which had 2 people sitting at it total). No wonder it was a ghost town in there. Since then, I've learned from others about the discriminatory, manosphere, and unconfident incel policies it's employees propagate. It and the people inside are disgusting now and the owners should be ashamed. read more

Server Greta was absolutely horrible. Incredibly rude to my friends (who are also servers) then proceeded to question why she didn't get a big tip. Accidentally bumped into her, then after threatening me she went out of her way the rest of the night to TRY to get me to bump into her. As a sever myself I've never met one that almost goes out of their way to not get tipped. Shit bar and shit attitudes at CC always but this was top tier lol congrats on the new hire you guys did good! read more

I went @4p on a Sunday. Bathrooms were clean. Drinks were strong (I ordered a double shot w/ can of Red Bull & dirty Shirley). Food was fresh healthy serving sizes (stuffed tots & waffle fries served with ketchup and ranch and she brought us plates and napkins for sharing without us asking). My 2 friends ordered 2 beers each. We sat at the bar and our bar tender was extremely attentive. The crowd was only regulars at that time but very chill drunk folks. Also very mixed races in there too, I didn't feel any weird vibes. We spent $75 altogether, I'd go back . read more

Hello dive bar! It's dirty, old, and rugged. Stickers and odd pictures on the walls. They also have a few classic arcade games and two pool tables which are usually taken. The service is even divey. As in not the friendliest but who cares kind of attitude. I also mean this in a nice way and not in the bad way. That being said, it can be hard to get a drink when it's busy. And this place gets really busy, especially on the weekends. The patio out back is really cool so that's a plus, especially when it's nice out. There is a $10 minimum if using a card, so you might as well get two drinks right? Also use the bathrooms, they're tiny, cramped and have all the reading material you need on the stalls! read more

CC Club - The best dive-bar bathrooms - Dive Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm disappointed by the staff, owner, whomever you are that cussed at my brother and was hostile on 3/17/21 late 10am. We googled "open bars in Minneapolis" to get a beer, celebrate St.Patricks day. Google has CC Club is hours set at 10am-10pm. So we drove to Uptown from Maple Grove. There was a random guy near the entrance who told us he didn't think the bar was open until 11am, and he walked away. We already drove out here, figured to check it they were indeed- closed. So we checked if the doors were open, if they would open when we pulled to be specific. The doors pulled open, both the outside door and inside door were open. Unfortunately my brother, because of my prompts asking him - yah know, sibling things- to check if they were closed or not- entered to see if there was anyone there . So he went inside, the doors were open, why not- their listed hours on google said they were open-but no one was tending the bar. Long story short, as he exits to tell me we should leave because it's weird no one is at the bar, we hear someone come to the doors from the inside and opens it the same time my brother is opening it, figuring to get a confirmation to enter or not and the guy says with no hesitation "what the f (word) are you opening the door for?" and continues to talk to my brother like he's a pest to humanity. If you were not open, why were your doors wide open (unlocked) for the public. Your hours were listed as open. And instead of being disrespectful, talk to us like human beings? I don't have answers for the world but I do know that from one person to another, who has given CC Club enough passes, after past questionable treatment- don't go here. It's not worth the turmoil to wonder if they are good people or a good place. read more

Quote of the blonde skinny guy at the front "we don't take tribal ID cards or Mexican ones, but we do take Canadian ones." If you're a BIPOC don't come here. Other reviews state why. The guy at the front said my tribal identification card "wasn't good enough" or a normal ID. Even though I can use it everywhere else I go, even at the airport. I do have a Minnesota state ID which I then showed him and he said "if you had a NORMAL ID why are you pushing this one?" My tribal ID is MY NORMAL ID. I'm a member of a tribe. I'm proud of who I am. If you don't like it go back to europe. He then asked me to leave and I was upset because I think it's bullshit. He said and I quote "we don't take tribal or Mexican ID cards" fucking racist. This place is cheap trash. I have money to go other places I only wanted to go in to try to meet with a friend. I would NEVER go here by choice. read more

I decided to check this place out with my buddy because it looks like a nice place from the outside well we got in and we were standing for like 5-10 mins nobody greeted us or tell us to sit or anything so we asked the bartender and he told us that we could sit and someone was gonna be there soon, the waitress didn't even say hello or anything just like "what do you guys want" and she got mad because we didn't know but they didn't gave us a menu, the food was like a 3/10 I didn't even finish mine the beer was good but I wouldn't go back. read more

How have I never been here before?!?! Small hole in the wall bars are my life. Good drinks, good customer service, good people watching. Uneven floors, not updated, not fancy, just strong drink and good times. CC Club, if I did not live in the gosh darn suburbs you'd see my ugly mug more. Go there and have a Long Island for me. read more

Best bar in Minneapolis bar-none. Cheap beer, fun crowd, passive aggressive song choosing from the selection of patrons, pool tables, and cool staff. Service is a different beast, you're served on a pseudo loyalty program: if you're not a regular and you don't pass the "not a douchebag" test, you're gonna wait! You brought your enormous wedding party 3 sheets to the wind? You're gonna wait! You're the type to say "excuse me!?" when the bartender has stuff to do? You're gonna wait. Simple as that, you just have to be cool and roll with the punches until they realize that you actually are going to treat them like humans and not a white claw vending machine. They should bring back the carpet walls though. read more

Brown people beware! If you enter before 7 pm on a weekend or weekday it's a downtrodden white millitary veteran Haven! I came to get a cheap drink, not get lectured by some old white guy about how prosperous life was under Reagan. if the next white supremasict mass shooter is from Minnesota , he probably drank here during the day. But don't worry, we don't want to freighten you, for you can have a great time at the cc club, so long as you have an Entourage of former st. Thomas frat Bros. Good wings and cold beer. read more

Huh who would of been able too walk into a place after two maybe three months and be remembered; yep THE CC CLUB The hospitality is phenomenal, you have to check the outside patio read more

I used to be more forgiving to the CC Club. If I'm being objective about it though, there are more reasons not to go to the CC Club than to go. And I should preface this with the fact that I am a dive bar person. Here's why you might go to the CC Club: your friends are all there already or you like the drink-of-the-month special. They discount one thing each month and I believe the specials run until 11 p.m., even on weekends. Sometimes it's good (pitchers of Crispin, which they don't have on tap anymore). Sometimes it's not that good (pitchers of Coors). They have plenty of bar games like a pool table, darts and a Family Guy pinball machine. I can dig that. The vibe of this dive is hipster to the millionth power. I don't really feel positively or negatively about that, but it is what it is. The patio can be a nice place to spend an evening if it's not too smoky. It usually is smoky. The kicker though: service is downright terrible nearly all the time. There's one bartender that is the saving grace, but almost everyone else is slow and/or salty. Cheer up, guys. read more

CC Club - Dive Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Go for the crowd, as they say. I always run into people I know here. The servers are pros - harried, surly, and pierced - but efficient. The back patio is a good bet in warm weather - but grab a table inside first or you'll be out of luck when you come back in. Check the walls for the monthly pitcher specials - always something tasty for $8 -10. I could spend minutes, and I usually do, trying to make sense of the massive lists of drink specials. But I can never keep them straight. As long as it's not late on a weekend, you can bet on getting a good deal if you ask for the special. If you aren't completely absorbed in your own group, look around you for entertainment. Folks are here often end the night at the CC Club, so things get raucous after midnight. A parade of furry men and pale ladies danced through in their underwear and bike helmets one time - on an underwear, bicycle pub crawl. Some people cracked a smile, but it was pretty much business as usual. Brunch here is notorious. Very cheap. Very greasy. Just know what you're getting into. Blood marys are important if you're in a state to make the decision to eat here. read more

Good beer, but rude bartenders. They should not work in the service industry. Was charged for something I did not order. When I brought this to the bartenders attention he was rude, accused me of lying, and caused a ruckus until another server confirmed she put it in there by mistake. Angry energy, will not go back. read more

The CC Club was the first bar I visited when I moved to Minneapolis nearly 5 years ago. As such, the CC Club holds a very special place in my heart... or I should say liver. This is a dive bar at its finest, er... grittiest. It's dark, dingy and a little dirty. Ladies, avoid skin contact with the seats if you're wearing short shorts. You never know what to expect from the jukebox. The same few bartenders have been here forever and pour stiff drinks... that seem to get stiffer as the evening goes on. The waffle fries are excellent for curing the drunken munchies. The pool tables are in the most inconvenient possible place but you navigate around people and pool cues to get your nicotine fix on the patio. Or just to enjoy drinking outside in warmer weather. Hold it, if you can but if you must pee, hover (lid up!); you have to anyways if you're 5' 7" like me because the stalls are so short you hit your knees against them. Enjoy the people watching; it's impossible to generalize the clientele the CC Club attracts because I've seen people from all walks of life here, not just hipsters and punk rockers. The service can be unpredictable; from inattentive waitresses to those who will buy you a round for being polite and entertaining. These are the charms and quirks of the CC Club and I wouldn't have it any other way. So cheers to you CC Club; you are truly deserving of my 100th review. read more

Ah, the CC Club, one of the few places that you can stroll in drunk at any point in the day and not have to worry about being the drunkest person in the place. They generally draw in the hipster crowd during the evenings, though there's a bit more diversity in the crowd during the mornings and afternoons. The CC Club is a low-key place to get in a couple of games of pool or darts during the evening while enjoying a reasonably priced pitcher or six (though during the weekend nights it can get pretty asses to elbows inside). The only time I'd really recommend showing up hungry is for breakfast, which is reasonably priced, surprisingly tasty and always generous with the portions. The rest of the menu is pretty standard pub fare and is pretty forgettable, but this really isn't a dining destination (save perhaps the aforementioned breakfast). read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I bought one drink and one basket of fries, my total came out to $17 and some change. I looked at my card transactions and I see that I was charged for $30.92. I called them to have them fix it and the man who answered the phone said "I can't help you with that, you'd have to call management or talk to the person who served you". I then asked how I could get in touch with "management" and the guy said "I don't know"....the man employed by the CC Club does not know how to get in touch with his managers? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. This has been the worst customer service I have ever experienced. So absolutely vile. I take pleasure in knowing I will never have to step foot in there again. I'd like to add that in the description of the bar it says "classy". It is anything but. read more

This place was cool once. Now the food sucks and the drinks are over priced. Dirty as can be. Gross. Gross! Worst service in Minneapolis. Unfortunately it's also become a magnet for crime in the neighborhood and drug sales. Shootings and fights every weekend. Was once a cool dive bar but the new owners drove it off a cliff. They also don't seem to follow any of the Covid guidelines. Avoid this place at all costs. Thankfully the neighborhood still has several other amazing restaurants and bars. read more

Very unfriendly staff. Would take your money but then forget to serve your drink, with no apologie. Definitely a "too cool for school" attitude. read more

WORST TREATMENT EVER. Today I was disrespected and mistreated. The bartender, Carl, was openly rude and offensive. I came into watch the Vikings game with my friends and get some food and drinks. The server/bartender was horrible. My whole group has all been servers before and understands the importance of customer service yet this bartender did not. I left shortly after not being treated well and asked for his name politely. I then called to ask for the manager's information and then was verbally abused. He cussed at me using f*ck and would not give me the manager's information. I am incredibly disappointed with what CC Club is representing how their bartenders treat costumers. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

Want to go somewhere where your alcoholic drink isn't watered down? The CC Club is a good go to. Want to go somewhere where you're waiting for a a table all night, and it's almost impossible to order? CC Club is the place. I believe on a Saturday night, there was one waiter serving a full bar. PACKED. She was working harder then the ONE bartender or the ONE bus boy. Props to her. read more

Your bouncer was hammered outside and was acting as if he was a guy just ripping cigarettes outside. He yelled at my group when we disregarded his slurring and tried going inside and realized that he unfortunately was the bouncer and he was just hammered at 9PM.

Great dive joint. Just like my hometown of Chicago. Real people here . . . hard to believe that many of them are Minnesotans!! Holy crap, when I get tired of the usual Minnie-SOTA pretentious, sanctimonious, passive-aggressive, arrogant asshole, and I need to contact with human beings before I knock one of these assholes out . . . I head to the CC Club to calm me. Thanks for being there for me ... a weary traveler in a strange land. read more

This place is great. Great place to unwind and not worry about life. Great staff. Solid recommendations.

This bar is my hands down favorite, and I'll tell you why. What most of you fail to recognize is that the folks who work here are no nonsense, REAL people who do their jobs. They have always taken amazingly good care of me in the long time I have been drinking at the CC. You know why? Because I am not an entitled self-centered asshole who treats these people like PEOPLE when I am in their workplace. What makes this place amazing is that nothing is just handed to you in terms of interaction. Yes, they will serve you if you're not being a complete dick or wasted out of your mind, but they won't put up with rudeness or entitlement either. They have tossed out A-list celebrities for this reason. No one is special here, unless you consistently show that you aren't just some yuppie scum that wandered too far from Uptown who thinks they deserve all of their attention and adoration just because you're dressed nice and have a fat wallet. In fact, all of us regulars really wish you wouldn't set foot in there at all. You are rude, you sexually harass/assault us (which has always been swiftly taken care of by the staff), you start fights, you act like you own the damn place, etc. The CC will survive just fine without you and your judgmental attitudes (I have seen the other reviews saying that we look like we have just crawled from the gutter. What do you have against gutters anyways?). Moreover, they know me. They know what I drink, it's often on the bar before I even open my mouth. I am warmly greeted by name by every staff person when I am there. You can bet it wouldn't be like that if I acted like most of these other folks who wander in off Lyn-Lake. The fact of the matter is, this bar is home to so many of us who deeply appreciate it for exactly what it is. Cheap drinks, real people, good food (the veggie burger is awesome), and I personally wouldn't change a damn thing about it. read more

Have you ever heard of an establishment that doesn't want business? If not, you have now. I arrived at this bar around 5pm with a group for a corporate Christmas party. Before we could even enter the building, some young kid came out and told us that "they don't do party buses" (we were in a limo), and actually REFUSED to let us into the building. We did not have 100 people; we had 18 people ready and willing to spend money. The attitude of this employee was abhorrent and I've never before been treated like that anywhere. Obviously the CC Club doesn't want the business. So why go there? read more

Tall boys? Chilly fries? Apple Valley bros? This place seems like an old friend. Too bad it's the hottest club in town. Went to CC Club on a dare (lol, not again) and ordered something hot off the menu; chilly cheese fries. They don't serve ice cream here. This food is straight off the grill and straight off the charts. Killer atmosphere (quite literally :P) and prices to match. I'll be back. Hope they're ready. read more
