    Dive bars are not generally my scene, but if they were I'd be at this one a lot! The bar itself has typical beverage options, plus several simple snack options if you're in the market for that. The charming diversity of this West Bank neighborhood is pretty well represented at Palmer's Bar, and I really like that about it. The flatiron shape of the building is unique and eye-catching, and now that I've been inside I'll never forget that on the inside of the pointy end of the flatiron is a tiny little stage that is used to snugly contain small performing rock bands. And the sound is pretty good! Most people will rather like the outdoor patio, and with good reason. It's comfortable and adds a lot of character. Also it's a place for smokers, which makes it, well, smoker-y. Bear that in mind if you're excited about the patio. Definitely consider coming here if you're interested in a fun little bar with college kids rocking out on a petite, dainty stage.

    Saw a really fun show here!! Nice staff and good service. It's a very small stage and music isn't too loud; I had a great time! Minimal food.

    Yep, we know great dive bars and Palmer's definitely deserves a place on our long list of memorable establishments. Bartender Zach served up a $8 pitcher of Hamm's, then threw in shots of Jameson. I think I'm going to like it here...

    How is the neighborhood and parking situation? Thanks for any info!

    There is some metered parking and a pay lot almost right across the street. Neighborhood seems like it could be a bit rough but you should be fine if you stay off the side streets.

    Saw this place pop up on the North Loop Instagram, so wanted to try it out while we were in the…read morearea! They described it as an upscale dive bar which I laughed at for sure, but when I went I would say that exactly how I would describe it. It's dark and moody, but very funky and hip with the neon walls and lights. It's very small, behind the new Public Domain space. Seems like the hostesses direct people waiting on a spot there to Neon Tiger while they wait. We were able to snag one of the last tables after we ordered (there are about 5 tables for 2, and 3 standing bar tables from what I remember). The menu isn't large - it has a couple of beers, some basic cocktails and lists spirits and mixers. The only new and exciting thing on the menu is their slushy cocktails. Good news is that this place isn't very pricey, but the portions aren't huge. My small espresso martini was $12, my boyfriend's beer didn't quite look like a full pint but was only $4. We did laugh that it was called Tiger piss. The espresso martini is good, but beware there's no actual cream liquor in the drink - they seem to squirt some foamy concoction from an unmarked squeeze bottle in a fridge on top, which was interesting. Overall, would come back here if I was bar hopping for cocktails - but wouldn't go out of my way to try it again. Great idea to send people here while waiting for Public Domain!

    Went here for a drink this past weekend, overall good experience! It was not busy at all which was…read morea little weird. I had a rum and coke that was very strong and my friend had an alocholic slushie that was really good. A fun place to go with friends!

    It always surprises me how many places that I love going to, I have not reviewed…read more And this is one of these places. I love coming here for music. They have three rooms where things happen. The main room (aka Mattson Room) has a great wood dance floor and you'll see things happening here in the afternoon (line dancing, square dancing, etc) and then bands rocking out in the evening. The 2nd room, is the medium size room. Here too I've seen all sorts of great bands play and it too has room to throw down your dance moves or just rock out. The 3rd room. Wow. This room is tiny and it is where the metal bands play. It is loud and it'll melt your face. They also offer food and drinks are way cheap. We'll come here to watch Vikings games. They have both a kitchen that offers salads and burgers, and the traditional bar frozen pizza. You're not getting a Heggies here but you will get a Jakeeno's. In the Twin Cities, this is the only place I know serving up this variety. You need a place to watch a Vikes game or the Wild? This is the place. Drink specials during Vikes games too!

Definitely get the onion rings and NOT the waffle fries. Parking on street or in lot in back. Great service by our waiter. He was so attentive even while we were playing bingo. Ambiance includes a lot of old photos, a stuffed eagle and remembrances for the armed forces who served our country. Will definitely come back!
