Went to Kips in Minneapolis on Monday night. It's an Irish pub -- very clean and smelled good. I had the Reuben with a side Caesar salad. I like my Reuben loaded with sauerkraut, and this one was light on the kraut, but the food was still great. Fair warning on portions: the side salad was entrée-sized, and we ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table -- everyone's meals were bigger than expected. Service was very good. Absolutely worth what we paid -- easily multiple meals' worth of food. Great food and ambiance for an in-hotel restaurant. read more

Three of us met here for a meeting. They gave us a great table in a separate room and we were able to talk. We ordered the Irish egg rolls and they were ok. I came back for dinner and had a lemon drop martini and the Cobb salad without croutons. I have to say that was one of the best salads I've had in a long time. Perfect amount of dressing and every single ingredient was good. Making a great salad is not easy. This one was great. I ate way more than I planned. Would get it again! read more

Long day of travel and just wanted to chill have a beverage and dinner. Had been to Kip's a few years ago when in Minneapolis. Sorry to say not the same as I remember any day it was fabulous before but always decent. Tonight was far from desired service was not very good. I most always set at the bar and did so tonight to be disappointed. Shows signs of potentially a solid Irish pub in a hotel. I will more than likely try again as I have had some decent visits here in the past. Sorry no pics this round not going to say it was a 2 star but 3 might be a little stretch read more

We had such a great time. The staff was nice and the food was decent. It's so bit on the darker side for my liking. We started with the Lucky Leprechaun and Kips Old Fashioned. Starters Pub Pretzels and Irish Spring Rolls which were a great hit! Followed up with our entrees: Fish & Chips, Shepherd's Pie, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with fries and Boneless Wings with ranch and BBQ sauce. All of the food was decent and we all enjoyed it. The carrots in the Shepherd's Pie were still hard. Our table was wobbly, but our server Christina quickly assisted with fixing it. No other complaints. I didn't have the best time with photos as it was really on the darker side regarding lighting. Last, they do offer outside seating. read more

We stopped by for dinner St. Patrick Day weekend. I was hoping for some food specials but all they had was green beer. I don't love the inside, a bit dingy and loud, but the patio is very nice! The happy hour appetizers were tasty, especially the pretzel sticks and fries. I also like the salad but would probably ask for more dressing next time. They were busy but the service on the patio was pretty slow. read more

Five Stars! We've been eating at Kip's Irish Pub for many years, and we have never been disappointed. This most recent visit just confirmed why we keep coming back. We were in a hurry and let our server know - she was fantastic and immediately helped us choose items that would come out quickly. Our food arrived in record time, and we were in and out in about 20 minutes. The pretzel sticks are, by far, the best we've ever had -perfectly warm, soft, and absolutely addictive! The option between dipping in cheese sauce or mustard was the hardest part about eating these. We also loved the hummus platter (it came with some unique and tasty pairings) and the Irish egg rolls, which were delicious. Honestly, we've tried most items on the menu over the years, and everything has been great. (But the pretzels are a must every time!) The wait staff is consistently friendly and attentive, and we really appreciate how genuinely kind everyone is. Kip's is one of those places that gets it right every single time. We'll continue going again and again. Highly recommend! read more

Review from a first timer trying it out as an early week birthday celebration dinner! Vibe - It's giving upscale bar... I loved the set up and see it being a cool spot for special dinners and football Sundays alike! There were a decent amount of people there on a Tuesday evening, and it seemed like they frequent the place haha. Food - The pretzel appetizer was tasty, really good pretzels! I had the 10oz steak dinner, it was nothing special but good. Would recommend trying one of their more specialty dishes. Service - Friendly & quick. Parking in hotel lot was easy enough. Prices - High. But as I alluded, it makes for a good spot for a more-affordable special occasion dinner, and I think they have a happy hour as well worth taking advantage of! read more

Came here while staying at the hotel for work. Guinness was honestly awesome. Very crisp with great shtick, as you can see in the picture (8.9/10). French onion soup was good, but the bread was under the cheese and very soggy by the time I got to it. I'm a fan of places that put the bread on top so you can dunk it and decide how soggy to let it get (7.1/10). The cod fish was very good and I really enjoyed the tatar sauce /(8.3/10). The fries could've been crispier but I do like the Irish style (6.7/10). Old fashioned was meh (4.3/10). Barman was very nice and attentive. Ambiance is is that of a typical Irish live. Nothing overly cool, but no complaints. read more

Good food quick service. I wish they play some music inside to make it more upbeat. But otherwise they have good food and the drinks are decent priced. They do have daily specials and game day specials for the Timberwolves. Also, they have trivia nights i believe it's on Wednesday or Thursdays. read more

Went to Kip's on St. Patrick's Day in the afternoon but it was disappointing. The bar area (which is nice) was full so we were seated in a dingy dining room. Very loud in there with a back beat of some music thumping making it hard to have conversation. Ordered corned beef and cabbage which was very small for $21 but it was good. Drinks were all served in plastic cups. Everything felt a little shabby. Service was a little slow at first but did improve. read more

Just an average bar- service was extremely slow even though it was not very busy not sure if they are understaffed Food was okay- very big portions so be aware when ordering There are better Irish bars in the city I prefer If I was staying at the hotel attached to here I would maybe eat here again but otherwise I wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again- not memorable read more

We went yesterday for a late lunch. We waited almost 20 minutes & the gal who seated us never came back to take our order. There were only a couple of other customers at the bar. She ignored our table & didn't even notice when we walked out. She spent all her time chatting excessively with the bar customers. read more

Staying at the Marriott and this has been my go to for meals. Their salads are very generous and you can get the food delivered to your room. I have attempted to order from door dash or Uber but I keep coming back to Kips. Give it a try! read more

I stayed at the Courtyard in the Twin Cities area for a work trip recently. It's connected to a Marriott proper and the two hotels share amenities. One of them is a restaurant/bar at the Marriott called Kip's Irish Pub. I was feeling lazy after a 5+ hr car trip and decided to have dinner there. First off, I wasn't expecting the nice decor and theme of the place. Despite being called an Irish Pub, I figured it'd be more bland. But from the nice wood-heavy entrance onward, it was a cool looking place. Waiter was really friendly and attentive. I got a hummus platter for an appetizer as well as a buffalo chicken sandwich. The food wasn't out of this world, but didn't need to be. It was a perfectly good meal after a long trip. I'm playing to stay at this Courtyard regularly for my trips to the area, and I'd have no problem stopping at Kip's again. I'd summarize it was "solid" all around. read more

We are staying at this hotel so an easy place to eat when coming back in the evening. We have eaten here 3x and food was good every time. Drinks are good and service was good first 2 times. Server our last visit was not the best and it was not close to full. Would go there again. read more

Fish and chips...amazing! Fresh cod dipped in batter with homemade tarter sauce and steak fries for 18.00. Best I have ever had!

This place serves some "Irish food," but I wouldn't call it an Irish Pub. The atmosphere is noticeably restaurant attached to a hotel. Our server was very nice and friendly, but it seemed like they were short staffed and struggling a bit. The food came out a bit slow but was hot and good. Nothing special, but good, and quite large portions. read more

I am a very fussy picky eater. And an incredibly fussy cocktail drinker. I was hesitant to come here based on the reviews which really seem unfair given I have eaten here both evenings in the past two days. The blackened salmon salad and sweet potato fries were delicious yesterday. The steak salad and shoe string fries were amazing today. The Kip Old fashioned with a big rock clear cube was delightful. Couldn't recommend more. Tom at the bar was friendly helpful and fast with service. I'm so glad I didn't leave the hotel to eat. Would have missed out on this gem. read more

I was drugged here. Women, do not come here alone. Someone put a roofie in my drink while i was sitting at the bar. Was hospitalized and tested positive for rohypnol. Horrible, horrible night. Luckily no one harmed me and the hotel staff was able to safely get me to the hospital. Mixed feelings writing this review but people need to be aware. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Kip's for the first time to enjoy drinks and dinner on the patio. Devorah was our server and she was super helpful and personable. She gave us recommendations on what to order, and even went out of her way to give us travel recommendations for our upcoming trip. The Caesar salad, black and tan burger, and mushroom risotto were all delicious. This patio will definitely be a staple for us this summer! read more

We (party of 2) were staying at the Courtyard Marriott for a wedding and stopped in Kip's for dinner one night. Initially, the interaction we had with the host made us worried that we might need to change plans. She had greeted us and told us that because there was a large party in the back, we would need to wait 5 minutes to be seated. This wasn't a problem really even though there were several tables open. Then, they seated a family of four before us. Maybe they had a reservation. Either way, we were confused and decided to check-in again with the host. That was when Kelbie noticed us waiting and made efforts to seat us right away. She really turned the situation around for us. She even let us change tables when we saw that the patio was open. She was super attentive, friendly, and warm. We were so happy to have waited it out because she was awesome. We ordered the Irish Honey Tea and the Dubliner Cider. Both were refreshing and light despite having a whiskey base. We also ordered the pub pretzels with cheese and mustard aioli. They were the perfect starter. Then we had a side Caesar salad and split the beef short rib stroganoff. It was all delicious. We ended up sitting on the patio because the weather was great. It made for a really intimate dinner since the patio was essentially empty. Overall, our dinner at Kip's turned out well because of the kindness of Kelbie and the delicious food! read more

Not a bad place but I guess I went too late and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 4. Got the wings with dry rub. The flavor was great but the skin was not crispy enough for me. read more

Laid back with good service. Nice outdoor seating. Beer options are good. Hey, it's an Irish pub...what else should you expect?

We ate here twice. The first time, it was for lunch. Service was good, lunch was fine. Second time, we came for dinner. Our server was lovely, but wasn't aware they have an early bird special! Beer selection is pretty good. Food was fine, though I can't remember what it was. That's not a bad thing. It's just that if I eat something phenomenal, I remember what it was. I think it was Shepherd's Pie, and it was a generous portion. Place got super busy for dinner, too. read more

Loved Kip's ! Great atmosphere and a lovely server who helped us choose our meals. We all had a couple of cocktails and they were all delicious. I had the fish and chips and others had the corn beef and cabbage, the prime rib sandwich, the chicken boxty, and salmon. All were prepared well. My fish was crispy and not oily (I hate that sometimes about fish and chips). Overall, it was a lovely evening. read more

Good service, and decent food. For dinner I ordered the walleye in citrus butter sauce, what's broccolini and wild rice. I started with a house salad which was absolutely huge. Throw a little meat on it and it could have been a meal in and of itself. I have never had one before, but I see it on practically every menus of every restaurant I go to in Minnesota. It was an otherwise flavorless Whitefish that took on the flavor of the Citrus better very well. It was lightly seasoned, but moist and Flaky and delicious. The wild rice blend was hard and a little overcooked, but the broccolini was prepared perfectly. I also ordered a Rachel (a Reuben, but with turkey instead of pastrami) with a side salad to take for lunch the next day. Again, the portion of salad could have been a meal in and of itself with a little protein on top. The sandwich was so large that I was only able to eat one half of it. It was a really good sandwich too! The bartender was a sweetheart and even though the bar was full, she was very attentive to the needs of her guests. read more

Hotel restaurants can be iffy, but Kip's is great! We came here for breakfast one morning because it's open early and found out that there is a buffet option, which includes all the basics plus omelets made to order and fresh donuts. They don't have a buffet listed on their website menu, so it was a pleasant surprise. Next time I think I would try the normal menu. I've heard that there is some good live music in the evenings, and I'm looking forward to coming back! read more

I was pretty disappointed with my experience here and wish I had hopped in my car to go grab something to eat instead of eating in the hotel since it was convenient. The hotel is so incredibly nice that I had much higher expectations than what my experience actually turned out to be. I went at an off time (in between lunch & dinner on a weekday). It was just me and two other tables. The gentleman that seated me was very nice. The waitress left much to be desired. She wasn't rude, but she barely even spoke to me or came by to check on me even though I was her only table. Also, when I asked for a straw, she came back carrying an unwrapped straw with her bare hands. I don't know if that was lack of training or what, but I wasn't about to put that straw in my glass. The food was extremely underwhelming. I ordered the turkey burger and it had absolutely no taste even though it had cheese and avocado on it. It was clearly a frozen patty that had been thrown on the grill. read more

Great hotel bar and food. The buffalo chicken (crispy) sandwich is one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommended. Cally was our server and was very good. Fast/friendly service. Good choice of draft beer. I will be going back read more

I felt more welcome at my ex-boyfriend's wedding. We arrived to an empty dining room and once seated, waited 20 minutes for someone to come to the table and another 20 for drinks (soft drinks and coffee); all while the staff complained loudly about how a particular diner wanted salmon prepared. The food redeemed the situation a bit and there was good music in the background, but I won't be back. It was not a great experience or even a good one. read more

After a wonderful dine with our client we returned to our Hotel the Minneapolis Marriott West and wandered into the Irish Pub for a night cap. We sat at the edge of the bar and was immediately greeted with the bartender that provide us service swiftly. The wood-paneled pub that also had a patio offered that traditional Irish pub appeal. They had a variety of beers and on occasion that have live bands. My review is based on the casual comfortable ambience of the bar area of the Pub since we had not yet had the pleasure to dine at the restaurant. Our short time there was enjoyable and quite relaxing. read more

Food was great and our server was honest about her favorites on the menu. Her advice was spot on!

I went here for happy hours/get together with some co workers after work and it was enjoyable. We were given the small room on the right when you first walk in, so we had our own 'cubby' which was perfect when there was about 25 people. We had some servers politely check in with us but not to disturb us but most of us ordered at the bar. Staff was very friendly and helpful! They didn't charge me the happy hour price and fixed it quickly and were great about handling (and most importantly it showed up correct on my bank account immediately). I had the caprese flat bread and it was amazing! I also ordered a Moscato which was perfect! They do have a HUGE selection of beets on tap which made selecting a drink that much more difficult, but personally I prefer taps over bottles/cans. My co worker had the fish and chips and said it was amazing. Overall no complaints! Great atmosphere, great service and food. read more
