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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Meteor never misses. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Drinks: excellent. Hotdogs: great. Bartenders: the best. Music: killer.
