NAUGAHYDE chairs. DARK AF. The darker the better ATMO, and this place is one of the darkest I've ever been in. I don't think there are windows??? The vibe is just perfect for drinking and hanging out with friends. I ordered a round of brewskis - I think it came to 13 bucks or something and the group audibly gasped (from LA, SF, Boston). So cheap and so good. Just come in and enjoy yourself - it's truly a gem of this neighborhood.

They host all kinds of community events, which gives it a lot more personality than your average bar. The bartenders are awesome once they know you're there for the right reasons -- this definitely isn't a party bus full of freshly-21 crowd kind of place (that doesn't stop them but alas), and honestly that's part of why I like it. They've also got a really nice patio that's perfect in the summer (and smokers all year round, lol). If you want a genuine Northeast Minneapolis bar experience, Grumpy's is hard to beat.

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!

First time there, with a group of 6. Had the Dago sandwich with the "works" and a scoop of potato…read moresalad. The sandwich was OK; not as flavorful as I'd hoped, and a little tougher than expected. Not at all bad, and it was nicely filling. The potato salad was quite good. What brings my review way down, however, was the service. Obviously, this is not complicated food to make, but it took well over a half hour from the time we placed our orders until the food arrived. The place was not that busy, so we don't know what was going on. For me, Dusty's was worth a try, but I have no need to go back, especially with so many good options in the area.

Parking can be annoying in this area (old cobblestone streets), but there is a paid lot right across the street from the entrance if you can't find street parking. Upon walking in, the bar top itself was packed with regulars at an off hour on a Friday. We sat at a small table by the pull tabs. Fun & divey atmosphere with a pool table and plenty of photo ops. Decided on Bina's Burger (smash burger) with Fries, and a side of Mozzarella Sticks. Loved the classic cup the Coke came in, and I tried both of the Old Fashioned drinks on the menu. Bina's old fashioned is okay, and will do the trick if you're purely looking for effect. The Wisconsin old fashioned is very sweet with muddled cherries and orange. The mozzarella sticks were served with a tomato soup dip which was interesting, but makes sense (grilled cheese & tomato soup). Ultimately the smash burger is the star! Very salty and crispy and delicious! I could see this becoming a regular craving! Water and condiments are on a stand to the left of the pull tabs.

My friend and I split the cheeseburger, grilled cheese, and mozzarella sticks. My favorite was the grilled cheese and dill pickle chips. I cannot wait to over order that in 2026. Their mozzarella sticks are served with tomato soup/dip, but I used that for my grilled cheese and it paired well. I did have this delivered via Door Dash, so I understand the quality isn't the same as if you ate at the restaurant - especially on a MN winter night. It was barely warm, but honestly, that didn't ruin the experience. I cannot wait to try their food again in their restaurant.
