Both were delicious. I like dark beers and these two didn't make me feel fatigue or heavy / bloated. The vibe is a little grunge, a little beer hally, and a little rock all combined into one. They have a ton of live music throughout the month although my trip, which was 530pm on a Tuesday didn't include any. They have a garden / smoking section out back with 3-4 picnic benches that felt really huge. I could definitely come back and would even consider a show here. Reason why I knock it down from 3 stars to 2 is because when we walked in, one of the managers gave us such a dirty look. And when we said hi, he gave a half hearted smile and turned back to doing his audits. Sure, everyone has a bad day. And perhaps he was reacting to something different. Nevertheless, I was ready to get my drink and be out. Was hungry and wanted food but decided rather spend my money elsewhere.

So the story on Hoggsbreath as I understand it…read more... Going back before Covid this place was crazy busy. Weekends were cover charge and packed and dance floor packed and basement packed and just a fun spot. So the owner at that time got greedy and started to focus on making money at every turn in some sleazy ways. For instance one of their scams was you'd wait in line to pay a cover charge then after that you'd get back in line and have another guard do an ID check and then they wand you for weapons. If there was an issue with weapon you were carrying or your ID being expired they would kick you out and keep the cover charge you paid (even though you never actually stepped foot inside they place). It was nonsense like this that caused their loyal customers to stop going. So Covid hits and they were already struggling but then after that they got into this downward spiral of bad management hiring bad employees who give bad service (a few employees are still good) but anyhow that lead to further customers leaving and then they cut the basement pool games from I think it was six or so tables down to whatever it is now...three or four only. Which lead to even less pool teams which means less customers which leads to less profit and now due to declining customers, declining profits, they have started to cut hours and close at midnight which is now driving more customers away. At the same time they continue to raise prices.... I'd guess in 4-5 years (at most probably sooner) this place will be out of business. Sad since Hoggsbreath 100% did this to themselves by compounding one bad decision after another for years until so many regulars and good paying customers now stopped going. I would assume the problem is caused by bad ownership but could be bad manager I honestly don't know but it's a problem that started and remains very high up (owner or GM) and not the rank and file employees fault.

Food 4/5: the green beans were light and crispy. The ranch was my favorite dipping sauce but the other sweet and sour sauce was also an interesting (positive salty sweet) compliment. The poutine was very heavy overall. The complement of the curds with the gravy and meat was good, but could be a meal in itself. The kids got the pizza and a burger, both portion sizes very large. The fries were very crispy! I got the power bowl. The lettuce was soaked in dressing, which the dressing had good flavor it was just too much. I would get it again but ask for dressing on the side. Service 5/5: our waitress was quick and attentive. Ambiance 5/5: we sat in a booth which gave us nice partitions from the people on both sides of us. Overall a great option if you're in the area!

Will definitely be back as we both enjoyed our meals.

We had a deeply disappointing Valentine's Day dinner, largely due to poor management and inadequate…read morestaffing. When we arrived on time for our 7:00 p.m. reservation, we found a long line just to reach the hostess stand. It was immediately clear the restaurant was running significantly behind. We weren't seated until about 15-20 minutes later. What happened next set the tone for the rest of the evening. Instead of walking us to our table and ensuring we were settled--as you would expect from a restaurant positioning itself as upscale--the lone hostess simply pointed across the room and said, "You'll be sitting over there," before returning to the stand. I understand they were backed up, but that level of detachment felt inappropriate for the caliber of experience they claim to offer. We didn't receive water until around 7:30 p.m., and we didn't meet our server until roughly 7:40 p.m. The couple seated near us, who had arrived right behind us, became so frustrated by the lack of service that they left before even getting water. Honestly, I couldn't blame them. Our starter--oysters--arrived around 8:00 p.m., a full hour after we walked in. The kitchen didn't have enough to fulfill our order, so they brought only an order and a half and removed one from the bill. Unfortunately, the quality was even more disappointing than the quantity. The oysters were paper-thin--nothing like what I've had in Boston, California, or even other places in Minnesota. Six of these oysters barely equaled the meat of a single properly sized one elsewhere. Our entrées arrived around 8:30 p.m. They were fine--average for a restaurant of this type--but the portions were noticeably small, especially considering the price point. Then, around 9:00 p.m., we were told the kitchen had run out of one of the desserts we ordered. We were offered the only remaining option or a last-minute variation they had improvised. We didn't delay in choosing, yet we still didn't receive our bill until about 9:30 p.m. With just one modestly priced glass of wine each, our total came to $176 with tip. I could have gone to several other restaurants that night, spent $100 less, and had a far better experience. I genuinely want the Commodore to succeed. I love the history of the building, the ambiance, and the vintage photographs. But those things alone don't bring customers back. Reliable service, adequate staffing, consistent menu availability, and quality ingredients--especially something as simple as oysters--are what create repeat business. I'm willing to give the Commodore another chance, but it would require an acknowledgment from management that they fell short on what should have been a special evening, along with appropriate compensation for the experience we had.

Sometimes you look at a drink menu and are intrigued but a bunch of options, this place was the opposite, not one drink looked good. All of the options are very masculine in nature: vermouth, bitters, etc.. you would think there would be something with like vodka or tequila and some fruit but nope. There was one drink that almost fit that profile but they threw in pink peppercorn and I was told that under no circumstance would they alter the ingredients... makes me think the bartender is either incapable or a complete jerk. In any case, bad customer service. I came here with 3 others and no one liked their drinks.

Since we didn't have a reservation, we arrived early and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. From the moment we walked in, we loved everything about the place. The décor is beautiful, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff was fantastic. The menu offers so many great options, and the cocktails were even better than expected. Our server, Rosie, provided excellent recommendations, and we genuinely loved everything we ordered. They also offer a great happy hour until 6 PM, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend giving it a try. One small note: We didn't realize a 20% gratuity had already been added to our bill. That's partially on us for not catching it on the credit card slip, (we tipped in cash) but I do think it would be helpful if servers mentioned it when presenting the check. I typically prefer to tip in cash, so on our $62 tab, we ended up leaving a $34 tip. Even with that little surprise, we'll absolutely be back. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all worth another visit!
