The beer selection is impressive with a mixture of beer-tastic and gluten free varieties. I decided to try the grapefruit beverage. It was more like sparking grapefruit fizz with natural grapefruit flavors. I'd give it a 10 out of 10. I will def come back and try real beers. There a lots of open spaces for groups to gather. I was there with some long time amigos. The group was 8 people. No body had a hard time finding seating.

It has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and both my friends and I absolutely loved it. The beer is great too, with plenty of options to choose from. One thing to know before you go: the upstairs pizza area and the downstairs restaurant are separate, so they have different service. If you're looking for full table service and a larger food menu, you can head downstairs. Either way, it's a fun place with great food and beer, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

I highly recommend the beer tours, you get to learn about some of your favorite beers and the company's deep inspiring history! Surly is one of a kind and it is a staple in the Twin Cities community!

It comes out in a cake dish just filled with smoke from the smoker. As the waitress takes the top off, she swirls the top around and makes the smoke go around the pizza. The pizza was so delicious! Then we kept seeing these desserts go past us and decided we needed to order one! We got the cookies and cream psycho milkshake! It's not what we expected at all and it was so light and delicious and it went down very nicely! lol We will definitely be back!

I've never had such bad service before. I came here a bit ago and suggested to come here with the…read morelarge group I was with, but that wasn't a good idea at all. The space is quite large with open seating - something I'd expect is great for a large group. I asked if we could combine some tables and the staff said they'd do it for us. We ended up having a table for 8. While more people in my group showed up than expected, we ended up adding a few more chairs. With the open seating and lots of tables available, we thought it would be fine. However, the staff didn't seem to be too happy with us. Our group had not gotten together in a while, so a couple of us had switched chairs to talk with different people. The server said in a very rude way, "You guys need to stop switching seats. I can't keep track of your orders and you want this on separate checks, right?" We had never asked for separate checks and I would have offered to pay on one check if it made it easier, but she left right after saying that. Towards the end of our stay, after paying and enjoying some last minute shakes (around 9:15pm, they close at 10), the same server started putting away the metal chairs VERY loudly and carelessly while we were still finishing up. We all watched her throw the chairs on top of each other as we stayed silent because we couldn't hear each other over her stacking them. We took the hint and left. Everyone inside the restaurant followed after. I assume because they, too, felt awkward as she was loudly cleaning up. The food was mid at best, the beer selection and unique combinations are great, but the bad service made the experience miserable. I didn't notice the server treating any other guests as bad as our table, so I am just not sure why she treated us the way she did. I definitely won't be back.

If you're in the mood for seltzers, or something else they've got plenty of choices there too. They even have a big selection of "dirty sodas" which I haven't tried but given how everything else they serve is would probably be great. The beertenders have always been super friendly and up for a chat or recommendations. The last time we went we brought our foster dog in and found out that the guy serving us used to foster through the same agency! Oh and that brings up another great point: They allow dogs inside and out so if you've got a pup you love bringing to breweries this is another great spot!
