Fun cocktail spot! We stopped by on a Thursday evening and the bar was packed, but after a few minutes we were lucky to snag some seats at the bar. We tried some cocktails from the Black Lagoon pop-up, and overall really enjoyed them! We also liked the shooters and shot of the moment, very delicious and balanced. I learned that the popup drinks aren't meteor recipes, so we'll definitely have to go back to try their drinks. We did try a hot dog (the musubi dog) which was delicious, and we'd definitely go back for hot dogs as well!
Such a fun and unique cocktail experience in Minneapolis! There's no traditional cocktail menu -- you tell the bartender the flavors you're in the mood for and let them get creative. I asked for strawberry, lemon and mint, and they made me two completely different cocktails using those flavors. I loved getting to see how differently they interpreted the same request, and both drinks were great! Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you like creative cocktails and want something a little different from your typical bar.
Wow the cocktails here were incredible! It's such a cute, small hidden place but they offer super unique and delicious craft cocktails at the same price of basic bar cocktails many other places! They use unique spirits and combine flavor profiles creatively to make cocktails that are different than anything I've tried before. It's hard to tell what the drinks may taste like based off of the ingredients but don't be afraid to ask the friendly bartenders. They have a parking lot in the back, a patio attached, and you order at the bar. They change their menu a decent amount so I won't harp on about the cocktails we tried, but I will say they were all well garnished and delicious. I hope to be back here soon!
Hadn't been here in years but wanted to hit it up for the Halloween drinks. Sat at the bar with a date and ordered a couple drinks. Bartender was great, drinks were strong and they had the Halloween decorations all over. This place is always good but creepy drinks are always fun!
I went to Meteor for their Halloween pop-up and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was so fun and creative, and every drink was amazing. Service was fast and efficient, which made the experience even better. I really appreciated how they had specialty cups for each themed drink such a cool touch! My favorite was definitely the Corpse Flower so yummy and perfectly spooky. Highly recommend checking out Meteor, especially when they do seasonal pop-ups! I did not try the food will have to come back and try it at a later
Holy Moly! How did I not know about this place? If you like your cocktails a little unusual but delicious and reasonably priced, you need to visit. It looks closed but it's hopping, even at 5 on a Monday. It's divy in an unassuming way, and cool as heck. No pretention just great drinks and delicious hotdogs. I had a vegetarian one with pineapple and some sort of spicy peanut sauce. Just get it, OK?!
Meteor Bar in Minneapolis is a hidden gem in the city's nightlife scene. Nestled in the North Loop, this spot offers a refreshing blend of retro vibes, strong cocktails, and a welcoming crowd. The atmosphere is upbeat but laid-back, with a stylish, cosmic-inspired interior that lives up to its name. The bartenders are friendly and quick with recommendations [even when busy], and the drink specials are worth checking out. Whether you're there for a casual weekday drink or a weekend dance party, the music keeps the energy high without being overwhelming. It's not the biggest venue, nor the fanciest but that's part of its charm. Meteor feels more like a neighborhood hangout than a mega-club, which makes it great for meeting people and actually holding a conversation. They also have small snacks for treats. However, there is usually a food truck outside that sells anything from barbecue beef to chicken wings.
Recently moving to Minneapolis, I want to find a relaxing bar that had an interesting drink menu that would rotate at a good price. I think I found it here and have been back multiple times! This is such a cute quaint bar. Some may call it kind of dive-y. I love how they switch up their menu, have old classics, always on the menu, and have loaded hotdog to have as a snack. They also participate a lot with the pop-ups during holiday seasons, so it is easy to frequent Meteor. Must try for drink drinks, good times, and fun food!
Went for the first time for their Halloween popup and it didn't disappoint. The vibe was really chill and the bartenders were awesome. We ended up chatting with them for a long time while watching 80s horror movies. The drinks were fantastic; not overly sweet at all with interesting bitters and syrups to make each unique. Really well made. We also had to grab a Meteor Dog off the roller because of course. It was exactly what you expect (and want) from a roller dog in a divey bar. I'd love to come back and check out their next menu rotation given the string of holidays over the coming months.
A Spook-tacular experience!! My friend and I were looking for fun Halloween events to attend this October and the Meteor's Black Lagoon Halloween pop-up bar immediately grabbed our attention. The pop up bar consisted of specialty cocktails, spooky decor, and on Thursdays a Boo-lesque show! When we arrived the bar was quite busy but we were lucky enough to snag some bar setting from some nice men who were on their way out. The decor was great, very haunting but nothing too over the top. The bar is small but I believe they managed the space well. Their specialty cocktail list was just right, offer an option or two with each liquor. Pricing was a little bit steep for a dive bar at $16 a drink but I guess they can charge what they want for a pop-up and people will still come! The cocktails were very tasty and well balanced. We did in-fact come on a Thursday for the Boo-lesque show which was very entertaining! All of the performers dressed in costume and danced to music. They were so fun and hilarious to interact with. Overall we had a really good time and would consider coming again in the future!
Meteor is the place you want to go for an elevated bar experience without it feeling pretentious. I'm not a huge person for the big city bar scene so it's nice that Meteor is located in an unassuming little building out of the crowds and chaos of Downtown or Uptown Minneapolis. Even when it's busy at Meteor it's not uncomfortable or crazy loud. Atmosphere aside, the drinks are amazing. The menus are always so creative and read more like something you'd find at a craft distillery rather than a bar. Meteor uses pretty much any spirit you can think of, including some of the less common ones like mezcal and aquavit, to create unique flavors you're not going to find anywhere else. They also rotate their menu so you're always going to find new drinks to try throughout the year. They also have awesome hot dogs! Meteor is one of my go-to places that never disappoints. I highly recommend making a stop here if you're in Minneapolis!
Went to Meteor for the Black Lagoon popup, and had a great time! The theming was great, lots of spooky accoutrements and moody lighting, it was a great spot pre halloween. Drinks were great, an interesting variety of liquors and flavors used. A great spot to go for holiday spirit, I'm excited for their next menu!
There's a good reason why Meteor is recognized as one of the, if not the, best bars in Minneapolis/St. Paul. This small, divey feeling space has a fun and welcoming atmosphere to it. A long bar to one side and tables to the other with a pinball machine in the middle. Meteor offers a seasonal menu of hand crafted cocktails made by some amazing people. These drinks feature some of the finest spirits around and creative flavor combinations. They also offer a handful of local Minnesota craft beers if spirits aren't your thing. If you are looking for a snack while enjoying a drink they offer some tasty hot dogs as well. Meteor is a MUST visit in the Twin Cities.
Stopped in Friday @ open. Day 1 of their annual Black Lagoon. After menu discussion w my bartender; he & another bartender saying they like the Closed Casket. I opted for a Demon Dance. It wasnt good, but so delicious! Bartender Liam was also friendly & helpful. I liked all the Halloween decor. Ill have to come back after the holiday. There is a small parking lot and free street parking. It stayed pretty quiet during my visit, as it was early & i left when still considerably early. Thanks Meteor for a delicious inaugural visit, cheers! read more
The Rumor is true! This Dive Bar has the fanciest Cocktails in the menu, and they are yummy. They also have fancy hotdogs in different versions. If you don't like hotdog, There's Taco Lady (same as one in Dubliner) and sometimes food trucks. Get there early if you don't like the crowds. It does get packed. Like it should! ps. this is the only other places I have seen that use "Fallernum" in Cocktail - that's how fancy (knowledgable) they are! read more

Dive bar vibes with delicious cocktails! The space is small and retro with 80's memorabilia (including a pinball machine) dispersed throughout. You can sit at the bar or booth, and select your drink from a list of rotating cocktails, with low ABV and mocktails also available. Foodwise, they have "elevated" hot dogs if you are willing to spend $6 or $7, but they're pretty good. The staff is also super friendly- you'll just need to order at the bar and bring back to your table. There's lot parking nearby or you can park on the street. It can get busy on the weekend but it's a nice quiet weekday spot! read more

As a new comer to Minneapolis (4 month old), I was looking for a cool bar to enjoy myself or hang out with friends. Meteor has been mentioned a few times by people in different walks on different occasions. I thought it would be worth trying. It was a Thursday evening. The bar was almost full regardless the location is not like downtown downtown, but super easy for parking and very cool industrial area. I like it! I was here mainly for Mezcal, a passion I developed since I moved here. They have a very wide range of selection. All three that were recommended to me are awesome. My favorite is the Aquilino Garcia, a very rare one, kind of a vegan Pechuga. I usually don't eat bar food, but I ended up believe having two hotdog's and they both were delicious. Meteor hotdog and Musubio hotdog. Try them, the toppings and sauce did make differences. Might be my favorite hotdog so far. I also got a special cocktail made with Mezcal. The jalapeño in it has a spicy kick, which really distinguish itself from other Mezcal based cocktails I tried before. Sour, sweet and spicy. More to dig in the cocktails here. First impression was fantastic as the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely come back for more. read more
Meteor is the perfect dive bar ambiance with super tasty cocktails. Their beer & a bump (boiler) offerings are also really interesting (& a good deal). Although there are tables, you order at the bar & pick up your drinks/food once they're ready. The bartenders were super helpful & attentive, even once the bar got busy for the night. I didn't realize Meteor had vegetarian/vegan options for their hotdogs, so that was a fun surprise! I had: --Meteor Dog (with a Herbivorous Butcher hotdog): Kimchi mayo, crispy onions, green onions; I now believe that every hotdog should have crispy onions. The crunch is a game changer, not to mention the flavors were all so, so good. I don't like kimchi so I was a bit worried about the mayo, but it was just a bit spicy without any of the kimchi funky flavor. --Syncing Ships: This was really well balanced; I was expecting the dill flavor to come through more, but I'm glad it didn't as it would've overwhelmed the drink. --Dirty Mind: A bit less coffee flavor than I was expecting, but I was also just in the mood for a cold brew at that point lol. I'd give this one a 4/5, it was kind of like a less-strong espresso martini with more complex flavor. --Juice Box (boiler): I had never heard of Pasubio before but LOVED it. The cider was fine, light & refreshing without making my teeth feel fuzzy. My friends also ordered Spaghets & the bartenders were happy to make those as well, apparently they used to be on the menu. Overall: cool atmosphere, great bartenders, fantastic hotdogs, prices are reasonable. read more

One of my favorite bars in the North Loop! Nice, casual dive bar atmosphere combined with delicious cocktails and delicious Hot Dogs. There is a lot of 80s memorabilia, so the bar has a very 80s vibe. The servers were all friendly. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area. read more
Place is dope. Video game themed and alcohol? Sign me up, brother. We got served quickly because we weren't hemming and hawing. Know your drinks and get to getting. Place is nice though overall. Hung out with some buddies and very chill. Bathrooms are outstanding btw. I don't usually comment on bathrooms, but good work meteor. read more

Great service, ambiance and yummy hot dogs. The cocktails were magnificent. I cannot wait to return to Minneapolis and this place in particular. Also, their merch is on point. read more
Super busy little bar with yummy drinks! We got the daiquiri and the secret river uppercut! Both were delicious and well balanced. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was so busy there were no tables, and not much space to stand either. It is a very small bar. I'm glad they're so popular because the cocktails are so yummy and well priced, but I think next time I'd visit on a weekday to stay awhile! read more

Great place for cocktails and hanging out. The Negroni was really good but the Boulevardier was amazing! It has a neighborhood vibe and has a large selection of liquor. If you're hungry, grab one of their hot dogs! read more

Kind of a hipster dive bar. Great cocktail menu with fun "shot of the moment" which is typically pretty nice. The vibe of the place is really nice they usually have an old horror movie going and nice music. Also there is typically seating which is a plus. read more

Parking is minimal but perfect for the size of the bar! The staff is really friendly and helpful. Javy is literally the best & so helpful when picking out drinks. I got the Star Tropics made w/ Javy Milk, lime, pineapple, spiced rum, and allspice. It was really delicious! I think one of my favorite cocktails I've tried here. This place has a cool vibe and is a great spot to meet up for some cocktails. I'll return again and again. Fyi - they are closed Tuesdays. read more

This place is a 10 out of 10. The cocktails are so fun with quirky names, and the hot dogs and the food from the food truck was phenomenal. I tried the secret tiger tequila based drink and the mega buster. And my friend tried the gin birdie drink and the olive cocktail. I also tried the kombucha they had. The spot itself is in an industrial part of Minneapolis and there's plenty of street parking and it's easy to get to. The inside is a little smaller, but there's plenty of room and it has a nice neighborhood vibe. The staff are pretty friendly, and very on top of your needs. I also walked away with a fun T-shirt. I highly recommend the spot if you're looking for a new cocktail bar. read more
