Stopped in for lunch and were able to get a seat quickly. Service was fast and knowledgeable. Basic sports bar setting on the side we were sitting in. Lots of televisions with a variety of sports on. Food was good, we had popovers to share, tortilla soup and the grilled cheese sandwich with fires. All were tasty. I'll try the turkey wild rice soup next time. read more

My family and I ate here today for brunch for Mother's Day. The food was mediocre at best. The service was good. The place had a older vibe overall. Might go back and try the patio on a weekend or something. read more

Solid pub with something for everyone. We (2 adults and one kiddo) dined in on Sat 3/7/2026 and were pleasantly surprised the wait wasn't too long ~6:30 pm. Both adults had drinks - Pub 42 rum punch and (I think?) a beer. I love fruity drinks but Pub 42's version was too heavy on the alcohol. I'd ask for less alcohol next time. We ordered French onion soup, Brussels sprouts (no bacon), Rachel, & kids grilled cheese. Both the Brussels sprouts and French onion soup were tasty! The restaurant got busier as we were there and our server worked very hard to get our orders with minimal wait. Would come back to try other items. read more

This is a great spot for food or drinks or both! They have a large food menu with vegetarian and gluten free options. Some good appetizers are cheese curds or onion rings. The sandwich I always get is the BLT it has millionaire bacon on it and it's incredible! You have options when it comes to drinks a cocktail, tap beer or canned drink. Service is good and there is a bar part and restaurant so if your looking for a quiet area the restaurant is nice if you want noise and energy sit in the bar. read more

This bar is a local favorite. They have some wonderful meals on the menu. My favorites include the crock of French onion soup, the double blue burger, and their char wings are wonderful. The menu rotates often and their seasonal specials always have some favorites. Friendly staff and pull tabs! Lots of TVs for gameday. read more

Well I have not been in this place in quite a while. we went here for happy hour/dinner. It was reasonably busy, but was pleasantly surprised that we were seated quickly. Out server was super friendly and attentive, and we compensated her thusly. Drinks and beers are pretty much standard fare, and there will be something you will enjoy. We really could not find any entrees that looked appealing, so we opted for a bunch of appetizers. I have to say I am glad we went that route. we ordered a couple flat bread pizzas and they were amazing. the Maple bacon, tomato flat bread was so good, and the buffalo chicken flat bread was right up there with it. Both had great textures, and lots of contrasting flavors. I will say however, that the star of the show for dinner was their turkey wild rice soup. A number of people had said it was pretty good, but you kind of have to take those comments with a grain of salt...or a grain of rice in this instance. I usually use Lund's Byerlys soup as the bellweather, but this was really an outstanding soup. In fact, if I am in the area, I will stop by and get a bowl to go, just so I have it as an option some time in the future. One should really try this soup. read more

Pub42 was an exceptional place to attend a wedding reception. The staff was amazing and super helpful throughout the entire event. The space off the dining area allowed for a formal but relaxed atmosphere that allowed us all to socialize and enjoy the evening. The staff we had in the room took orders quickly and the food was out in a very short time. Rob the GM, was there making sure the whole.event went off smoothly. Thanks again for attentive, friendly, and incredibly helpful servers, cooks and bartenders on the night we attended the wedding reception. I would recommend Pub 42 for parties wedding receptions and meetings. It was a great space, wonderful food with exceptional service. read more

2nd time here recently. They do The Initials game from KFAN on Tuesday nights. It's a fun evening. Nice menu selections. Decent beer offerings. Tuesday night is taco night, $2.50 each. Had the smash burger and it was very nice. Had onion rings instead of fries and they were great! One of the people at our table ordered the pretzel sticks, fantastic!!! The beer cheese dipping sauce has some spice, jalapeños I think. Great flavor. Had a cucumber spicy margarita and I liked it very much. Ok, I had two. Nice atmosphere, excellent server!! We sat in the bar and Carlos took great care of us!! We like this place n read more

This was our first visit. Would give 3.5 if I could. We started with the Buffalo chicken flatbread and the nachos. Flatbread was delicious. Crispy and nice Buffalo flavor. Nachos were average. Good nachos are hard to find I swear. These were pretty dry, not enough cheese. We all then had the mix and match. We had the BLT, reuben and chicken tortilla soup. Chicken tortilla soup was ok, needed some more seasoning was super creamy though. Reuben was good. BLT was interesting. The bacon was a little sweet and very peppery. Overwhelming peppery unfortunately. Hard to eat even a half sandwich. All apps are $2 off during happy hour which is nice. I side bar area is very nice. Lots of TV for football. Olyvia was our server, she was great, very nice. read more

We had a family dinner there tonight. They got us in last minute, accommodated our needs to ensure the person in our party in a wheelchair had adequate room. The service was fast and accurate. Our server was super nice. All the food arrived at the same time and was delicious! It's a local restaurant and much appreciated in our area. read more

I go to Pub 42 a lot. I love the bar, the staff is very friendly. Last Saturday I went for a late lunch by myself. The dining room wasn't very full, but it did take awhile to get to me. I ordered the PuB 42 Punch for a cocktail. I love that drink. I had the pan fried walleye with mixed veggies and mashed potatoes. The walleye was a little tough. The potato's were great. The mixed veggies was only green beans. But they were good read more

Not just bar food. Don't know why this restaurant is only rated at 3 stars. Have had their bar food options, (burgers/wraps/fries) many times and always impressed with quality and portion. Surprised to find other options such as Korean Vegetable Mandoo, Sesame Chicken Rice Bowl and Spicy Shrimp Tacos as well as plant base and vegetarian dishes. Their tap beer selection was off the hook. Asked for a hazy IPI and said there were eight. Asked for blood orange IPA and said there were three. Professional service and comfortable atmosphere. Never rushed or clearing table before we all finished. read more

Been on a burger kick recently, so I've been trying out new places. I came around an hour before closing, so the service was a bit slower but I would say the food was good. I got the millionaires bacon burger and added cheese to it. I would say it is priced a little more but was still good! I love bacon so anything that has bacon I will eat! I got fries with my meal and they gave a good amount. I would like to go back and try different options next time I come back. Overall my experience could of been better. But I recommend trying out the burgers! read more

Hmmm where to go for solid food in New Hope? Is it a sports bar, a slice of Americana, or a restaurant with a variety of offerings? A step up from the chain restaurants. Good service.... read more

We went for bingo and to watch a football game. Lots of fun! Food was typical bar food (good) and the atmosphere was great!

Food and service above average. Don't sit at the bar. Stools without backs are way to short. The counter is chest height when sitting. Most uncomfortable bar seating I've ever experienced read more

Good food and good service. Prime rib grilled cheese and walleye sandwich. Both were good.

Came for apps last Friday night! Very busy, but didn't take terribly long to get our food. Was able to make a reservation 2 hours prior. The buffalo chicken wontons are our fav so had to reorder. The cheese for the pretzel sticks was so yummy. The pretzels were nice and soft. The shrimp basket was super good and the shrimp was juicy. Disappointed that you only get 6 shrimp for $17 though. read more

Incredible place to sit and watch some March Madness! Me and my buddy's came from the Wild game and after a decisive victory we found a second decisive victory in these cheese curds! Generous portions, great for sharing, and they're light enough that I still had plenty of room for my Baked Mac and Cheese, which was also impeccable! Before I forget, the bathroom was out of this world! When you think of a "pub bathroom" you inevitably think of the antithesis of Pub 42's bathroom. Our wonderful waitress told us they remodeled the bathrooms in the last year, and it shows! My apartment isn't as nice as the restroom here. You walk in and are immediately teased by a fruity watermelony scent, enticing you to step further in. I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Come check it out yourself! read more

Food was good. Service was excellent. We were there early so the ambiance was subdued.

Wow! This place was fantastic! I could not decide what to eat because there were so many mouth-watering dishes! Out waitress, Samantha (what a sweetheart!) was very helpful in helping me decide what to have. The whole staff is very up beat and the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. And OMG, the food! I had the Nashville flatbread I had was so tasty! Each dish that our party ordered looked so good. Not that I would have traded mine but I was especially jealous of the Millionaire burger with a side of giant onion rings. Really surprised that not all of the reviews on this establishment are not 5 stars. I live in Excelsior but will definitely make the trip again soon for their food and hospitality! read more

I've been here a handful of times and although nothing super unique about this place, it never fails to give a 5/5 experience! It has a hybrid restaurant/sports bar feel with always great service and food. Some noteworthy tries are their walleye fingers, crispy chicken sandwich (seasonal but you get an entire extra chicken piece!) and their cheese curds. I will say, hands down best cheese curds I've ever had. Better than the state fair even. Will keep coming back here for more! read more

Met a buddy at Pub 42 (New Hope) to catch up over a beer on a Tuesday night. Place was surprisingly busy. Had a Castle Danger Crème Ale and Lydia, our server recommended the Nachos. The Nachos were very tasty and the beer was cold and smooth. And, the service was excellent...really well done. I'll be back there. read more

I have been to Pub 42 many times either by myself or with a party up adds of 6 people. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly. We have had the pleasure of having Riley and Iza as our servers on many occasions and I can't stress how kind and accommodating both of them are, I have celiac disease and they are knowledgeable about the ingredients and the process of the food so that I am safe when eating there. Including the double checking and making sure that my food is gluten free, and with very limited chance of cross contamination. Both do a great job of making sure the food is good and arrives at an appropriate time, while being friendly and kind and connecting with us as patrons. I would recommend pub 42 to anyone and everyone and tell them to request being seated in either Riley or Iza's section to guarantee them the best of service available. read more

Visited Pub42 with a few colleagues and shared three appetizers: the nachos, popovers with stout honey butter, and the pretzels. The pretzels were my favorite--soft, warm, and flavorful! While I didn't love everything I tried, the portion sizes were generous and I left feeling full. What really made the visit enjoyable was the service--our waitress was kind and attentive, and other staff checked in on us as well, which really spoke to the positive work environment there. I've heard great things about the entrees, so I'm looking forward to giving it another shot and hopefully updating my review with a better overall food experience. read more

My husband and I have lived in Plymouth for 31 years and I was given a $50 birthday certificate to Pub 42. So tonight (Sunday night, June 29th at 6:30pm) we went to Pub 42 to use my gift card. It was definitely the worst dining experience we have ever had. Here are the key points: We had to ask Jeff, the bartender if he would take our order. It seems like he was talking to several of the "regulars" sitting at the bar and not paying attention to "new customers." The bartender (female) with the red hair pieces....said the "F" word several times and never even blinked an eye that customers were sitting and dining at the bar. Things like "I am F-ing starving" and "I F-ing love him." She also said to Jeff, "it is all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits. At one point, the African American male who was at the hostess desk came into the bar area and the girl with the dyed hair - they both screamed loudly together and then the male left the bar area. The outside bartender came into the inside bar and said: "It is F-ing hot out there." The service was horrible. The bill was printed out and we were overcharged by $15. When we told the male bartender that....he did not even apologize! (this was not Jeff, but some other bartender) Honestly, everything that went wrong - went REALLY wrong!!! It was the worst experience we can ever recall having and I was really excited to try something new. We cannot in our right minds ever refer someone to go to Pub42. The Sunshine Factory would never ever have employees who act so disgusting in a restaurant environment. Thank you for reading this. On a positive note, the food was great! We had a Blu burger and cheese curds. So you might want to really take care of your internal staff at the bar so "new customers" want to come back. read more

Our table had a little disappointing meal at pub 42. We all decided to try something a bit different and it was our mistake. The good: The Bad: The chicken nacho tray was quite large, but you are paying a lot for nachos. it needed significantly more cheese and less lettuce. It tasted more like lettuce and chips. The whole table agreed. The $17 price the value is too high. 1/5 The double foghorn chicken sandwich looked fantastic until you bit into it. all you could taste, was the fried breading and not the chicken. If you gave this to someone without telling them, they would not know it was a chicken sandwich. The $18 price to value just isn't worth it. 1/5 We have had good solid food here but whatever they changed they should go back to what they were good at. read more

Terrible service and disappointing food. Used to be a favorite of ours was, but no more! Server Nancy was rude ( one of many examples is we waited for our bill for more than 20 minutes, stood up to get someone to notice, and finally all went to the front to flag down someone to pay! When Nancy showed up, she didn't speak, much less apologize. When we asked for water with the meals, she brought one glass for four of us, and never checked back. There are several more frustrating examples.) Also, the food was very disappointing . There were no cheese curds; the nachos were tasteless, the shrimp basket had just a few very small shrimp disguised with a LOT of batter; the French onion soup was incredibly salty --I could go on. I don't often write reviews, and we have been satisfied with PUb 42 in the past, but this experience demands notice! Please help Nancy and check on the food being served. Thanks.. read more

I've been to Pub 42 plenty of times, mostly just for a vodka soda (it's a great spot for a quick drink) but I have tried a good amount of the food items too! Tried the French onion soup the previous time I went and it was awesome! (I ordered it the time before that but it never made it to me sadly.) The hot chicken and dill flatbread is also delicious. I probably wouldn't go here if I was in a hurry as none of the staff seems to ever be. Tacos were not my favorite but only $2.50 on Tuesdays so can't really be picky about that. They have a nice big patio and also an outdoor bar which is great! I think they might have a wasp nest on their roof out there though because there were quite a few flying around. read more

Pub 42 - French Onion Soup $7 - American Near Me - New Hope, Minnesota

AWWWWWW I SOOO WANTED TO GIVE 4 STARS! When I lived in the western suburbs, I visited Pub 42 a handful of times, during different days of the week and at different times (Happy hour, late night). I ... wish I could say something more positive, and am also cognizant that employment around the service industry as been patchy, at the least, of late. Thank you, COVID. Here is the quick summary low-down: The food is actually very very good. Soup, steak, appetizers and drinks. The service? Slow, slow slow slow slow. The majority of times, I had to wait to ask for water, let alone put in a drink order, or a food order. Once a food order was put in, I had to wait a good 20 minutes average for the first appetizer, if I ordered one, and another 15 minutes after the arrival of appetizer to enjoy the entree. And could I enjoy the entree? Sometimes. Often, the kitchen messed up the temperature of the steak, delivered a salad that was obviously accidentally left under the heat lamps before being served, or gave me the wrong entree altogether. Again, I try to give grace in this period of time to how difficult life has been, especially for the restaurant and service industry. Okay, the food. The popovers are AMAZING. And, honestly, every server had apologized profusely for the delay, which makes me understand that they know that service is slow. The popovers are...OMG...I have since moved and traveled to this Pub to eat nomnom popovers that are crispy on the outside, with a fluffy, cheesy, slight sweetness melting on the inside. The steaks come out as you asked (except for the one time I asked for rare and it came back medium/well done, but they rectified the issue quickly!). Had the bone-in Rib Eye and prime rib and both were great. The buffalo wings are delish. French Onion soup has a great depth of flavor and complexity with melty, umami cheese ontop, and the flavor does not come from being overly salted. Drinks are strong and not expensive. Honestly, I'd bring out of town guests here for the popovers alone! read more

Frequent Pub42 several times a year. Been a couple of months since we last were there. Always had a decent meal. This last visit decided to try the French Dip and was an extremely poor choice. Meat was cut thick and had lots of fat. Threw away half of the sandwich. Tried to pick through it and salvage the sandwich, but not happening. Fries that came with the sandwich were good. Fellow diner at our table sent her entree back because the mashed potatoes were cold. read more

Pub 42 is a go-to favorite. They consistently provide great food and a comfortable atmosphere. Service is also consistently great!

The best deal is on Monday's, burger & a pint night. Comes with a side, and if you don't want a beer you can choose a rail drink or a non-alcoholic beverage all for $11.95! The burgers are large and comes with plenty of fries. This burger has big crispy slices of bacon and their lemon aioli makes it nice and juicy. read more

I'm a big fan of Pub 42. It is a staple of New Hope and I'd bet it is widely considered the best bar in the area/city. The Pub can meet the needs of any party with a sit down restaurant side, a sports bar area, and the outdoor patio. While I really like the burgers here... They have a cajun pasta on the menu so that is my go to. It is really good! Warning - you have to be clear with how you order this item because they have a fettuccini alfredo and a cajun fettuccini. They make a cajun pasta dish that still uses a tomato/rosa sauce base. It was NOT for me and I had to reorder to get the dish with the alfredo sauce base. read more

Went to the Mothers Day Brunch with my kiddo because it was one of the cheapest buffets around. The buffet was decent and we were seated quickly even though we didn't have a reservation. They filled everything quickly and efficiently on the buffet line. The only things that bothered me was my coffee wasn't refilled at all and the dessert table was no where near the other buffet items. read more
