    money falling from the ceiling
    Tank G.

    This bar has a lot of personality. It is the definition of a dive bar. I do not know if it is located by a college but it has a high population of the younger crowd. They have bar seating at the full bar, dinning room seating and a decent outdoor patio. The dining area and bar have television placed around that is usually playing sports. They are not the most high-def TVs, but you can get the picture. The place is decorate with a bunch of dollar bills all over the walls and a neat chandelier made from bottles. There is metered street parking available within a reasonable walking distance and they check those IDs pretty tight at the door. Whether you are 22 or 62, you are getting carded. This bar stays open later than the other nearby ones, so it starts to get crowded later in the evening. Seating becomes a premium then. The bar also gets very loud. The staff there was very friendly and courteous. the servers brought their A-game. They have you typical bar food like burgers, sandwiches, salads and nachos. They have an extensive selection of burgers and beers. I ended up getting a South of the Border (SOB) Burger with fries. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food. The burger and fries came out hot and fresh. It was not the best burger I have had, but it was good. Your typical bar burger. This is a nice bar to pass some time. It is nice that they have some food options to go along with their drinks. This is an old school bar, so they do not have any signature cocktails. They just have a full bar. I was teetering between a 3 and 4 star rating and 3.5 would be more appropriate. However, that is not possible so, it is closer to a 4 than a 3 so there it is.

    Great bar food if looking for something to grab and go and you're not familiar with the area. This is something to eat to play it safe.

    Late night bad meal decisions brought me here on a Wednesday. Small scale watering hole with some nice seating outside during better weather. Got a stool at the bar and was given the menu to order. Decided on the "Cuzzy's Tots" ($11) to go along with a draft beer ($6). The tots are essentially totchos - layers of jalapenos, cheese, bacon, and onions. Total bomb in the stomach but very good flavor. Unfortunately, paired this with the Indeed Pistachio Cream Ale that didn't go well together at all (that's on me). Spot itself played some sports games on the TV's behind the bar, as well as having some music going. Solid watering hole for after work or to catch a game.

    Ventured over to Cuzzy's for some late night food and a drink. It was packed but we found two barstools. Service was pretty quick for how busy it was. For bar food, quite tasty and satisfying. Nothing fancy but always a good time, nice people and a good time! Perfect place to visit while having a night out in Minneapolis!

    My girl Lyn was the shittttt . Super fun and cool, very mom vibe like wanted to make sure we were being safe which is super cool. Spot was fun with dollars everywhere! They provide the markers and let you sign your own and hang them yourself

    Wall art.

    Sorta divey joint with average bar food. They have their own parking lot, that's a bonus. You walk into a dark open space with the bar to the right, tables that are mix matched in sizes along the left. Dollar bills with little messages are taped and tacked everywhere. I found it a bit off putting. I'm trying to eat but these bills are in my face with the words bitch, penis, virginity, and varies other inappropriate verbiage. Don't get me wrong, I spew my fair share of profanities, I just don't want to see it when I'm eating. Felt dirty. I tried their "cuzzy dip," roast beef with au jus, comes with chips. Nothing great here, but the chips were nice and crunchy. They may have been house made. I also had a mushroom soup that was decent. The server was nice, a little slow, but she did her job. The beer was cold. I'm not rushing back, but it's an alright spot.

The decor is fun, it's like a fever dream of a newspaper themed pirate cove with downtown holiday sparkle. Walking in, there's a news-themed entry, then you see a mermaid reading a newspaper at a pirate ship bar playing sports games on the TVs. It's wild, but it's so fun. We had great seats at a table by the window looking out to downtown, which was great for people watching while we waited for our food. We were also entertained by the football and hockey games on the TVs. Our waitress was swift, but we waited a while for her to come back to cash us out after we ate. I ordered their burger with fries and a Pinot noir on the side. The burger was cooked nicely at medium well. There were several cocktails that sounded great, but a nice burger and dry red was calling to me that night. My husband got the Korean bbq fried chicken sandwich and we split that and the burger halfsies. I liked the chicken sandwich, but not as much as I enjoyed the burger. A fun choice for a meal in downtown Minneapolis, don't let the reviews steer you away. Hopefully you can catch the bartender climbing the rope stairs for a bottle!

The restaurant was understaffed - the bartender was not only running the bar but also serving the entire dining area. We sat at the bar and waited about 10 minutes before being greeted. We also overheard a nearby table voice frustration about the slow service. We're pretty patient, so it wasn't the end of the world, but it was noticeably slow. That said, once we were helped, our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered a Spicy Margarita and my husband went with an Old Fashioned. My margarita was on the weaker side; not bad, just forgettable. My husband enjoyed his Old Fashioned. For food, we tried the Bang Bang Shrimp, Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and the Crab-Stuffed Portabella. The standout was definitely the Bang Bang Shrimp; we both really liked it. The lettuce wraps and stuffed mushroom were fine, just not dishes we'd return specifically for. The overall vibe was calm and low-key, and the staff was kind despite being stretched thin. I'm glad we gave it a try, but it's probably not a place we'll be rushing back to.

I also had the horchata, it is a small glass filled with ice, so not sure it is worth the price point or at least order two. The guacamole was amazing and I would definitely get that if you go!

Centro is in a nice location that's near the Rosedale Mall but not all the traffic. I haven't been to this restaurant since it's been remodeled (previously Good Earth) and it's very trendy, IG worthy. Bright colors, murals on the inside/outside. It was seat yourself dining. And "scan the QR code to order". However, we did have the waiter take everyone's order because it was going to be ONE BIG BILL. Drinks came out, then we ordered food (apps for some, entrees for the rest). Great happy hour deals on drinks, and chips w/ dips. I ordered a Guava Margarita. It came in a lowball glass, garnished with a lime and spicy tajin rim. It was strong enough for me. Tattersall.... say no more! Tasted like a normal Marg, guava didn't stand out. Apps were shared. Chips were warm and salty. Guac was above average. Salsa and queso stood out more. Cool Ranch wings with ranch dip. Others loved them. I didn't taste much "Cool Ranch". Dirty Yuka fries. I got to try 1 but grabbed lots of its toppings and sauce. Don't know what a YUKA is but that was good. I would have had another if there were some left. Now my entree.. the Elote Carnitas Crunch wrap. Didn't come with any sides (rice, beans) or dipping sauce. Although I did steal some leftover Ranch from the wings. I cut it in half for easier eating and it looked beautiful. Due to the Carnitas, it was very drippy/messy/wet. I rolled up my sleeves, and made sure I had it over the plate vs my lap. It really didn't need a dipping sauce. It had some heat to it, and it built with each bite. But it was a good heat; tingly lips. Nothing on fire that made you pant or required milk. My coworker got the Cool Ranch Crunch wrap and hers was dry... and needed a dipping sauce for moisture. She used leftover queso and it was much better. Food came out in waves. Many staff helping out at the table with both bringing food out and clearing used dishes, empty glasses/ bottles. And no errors in the order. Great to see teamwork. To-go boxes were given to those in need and they looked like recycled paper/cardboard vs Styrofoam. And paper bags were given to the people with more than 1 to-go box. I would definitely return to try more items on the menu.
