I live in Hopkins and desperately wanted to write a great review but 18 bucks for soggy microwaved waffles is just not acceptable. The chicken strips that went with the waffles were ok. I have had great soup here in the past but just ok turkey burgers. Great location and fantastic patio, but a limited menu of meh food. read more

Pulled up at the bar on a Friday night for a beer, burger and some Brussels sprouts. Service was quite good and the bartenders took good care of me throughout my experience. Food came out quick and was pretty good. I ordered the 819 Old Fashioned burger and the apple glazed Brussel sprouts along with a beer. The 819 Old Fashioned Burgee has historically been one of my favorite burgers of my area. It has apricot jam, Brie, bacon and caramelized bourbon cherries. It was pretty solid, but I noticed halfway through it was missing the cherries, a key piece to the puzzle. Still, the burger was pretty solid. The apple glazed Brussel Sprouts were good, I wasn't sure about them at first to be honest. I had a feeling the sauce and Brussels weren't the right fit, but they quickly grew on me and I came to really enjoy them. I did however feel as though the Brussels sprouts were a little under cooked and were still a bit hard on the inside, still delicious. Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner at the bar, made even better with NCAA basketball playing on all the TVs. read more

Pub 819 is such a fun spot in downtown Hopkins. It's very dog friendly, which is always a huge plus. The patio is a great place to hang out, and the overall vibe fits perfectly with the laid-back downtown Hopkins scene. The menu has a really nice variety of elevated bar food. There are plenty of options whether you're gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan, which makes it an easy place to go with a group where everyone wants something different. read more

Pub 819 is Craft & Crew owned restaurant and has a menu similar to the other group restaurant, but they do have a diverse menu. We did not take advantage for the Pawtio since it was cold outside, but I look forward to visiting it in the summer to get my puppy a meal from their dog menu. We started the night with cheese curds & steak bites. I preferred the curds with a light crispy outside and perfectly melted inside. The steak bites were tender, but had too much seasoning and felt floury. The table favorites were the extremely fresh Poke Bowl and Yum Yum bowl. The Hopkins burger has smashed patties, and since Hokpins is known for raspberries, it comes with a flavorful raspberry bbq sauce. read more

Nice spot in downtown Hopkins for some solid food, drinks & cute pups in the pawtio! We came on a busy Saturday night and they were unfortunately out of their vegetarian burger which was a bummer. But their menu provides a lot of vegetarian friendly options which is a huge bonus! The food was really good and the drink options were fun and reasonably priced. I'd come back again to try out some alternative menu options! read more

I visited Pub 819 on New Year's Day, the place was still decorated with Christmas items and made it feel very festive. The service was great! From the host to the servers the made us feel welcome and the service was fast. We order old fashioned, the tatchos with pork and the cheese curds, all very tasty. read more

Stopped into Pub 819 in Hopkins for the first time since their remodel after the fire, and I was excited to see how things changed. I've always liked their food and happy hour, so I was looking forward to trying a couple of their newer items. I ordered the nachos during happy hour, and they were okay. Not terrible, but definitely lacking in flavor and not as memorable as I hoped. My highlight was actually the burger of the month the Narcos burger. I usually go for their Hot Dickle burger, but this one might be the new favorite. Great flavor and cooked well. On the flip side, the tater tots were a big miss. Dry, bland, and honestly comparable to little lumps of coal. Not the best and not worth the extra cost. Overall, it's still a decent spot, especially if you're already in the area. Some hits, some misses, but worth checking out if you're nearby. read more

Great hot spot on Main Street in downtown Hopkins. You will find a nice menu, comfy atmosphere, and great service. Guinness on tap and a classic burger hit the spot for me to celebrate my birthday. I don't know what was going on, but the place was hopping on a Tuesday night . There was a 10 minute wait but it was well worth it. Parking on Main Street in Hopkins is a little dodgy so I would recommend turning off onto a side street where there are a parking lots. You can walk almost anywhere in a couple blocks, give it a try, you won't bedisappointed. read more

New friend and I came here tonight for dinner and drinks. For our drinks, we had white sangria and red wine. Honestly I'm a wimp when it comes to alcoholic drinks so the waitress recommended the white sangria when I asked for sweet drink recommendations. The white sangria had the right amount of sweetness and the addition of citrus fruits enhanced the sweetness and added a bit of tartness. It wasn't overly heavy on the alcohol so I didn't feel tipsy like I have in the past when I've ordered sangria. For our entrees, we had the ahi bowl and buffalo chicken wrap. While the ahi itself was flavorful, the rest of the dish needed more sauce. Fortunately our waitress was able to bring some soy sauces, which made the dish more flavorful. As a poke connoisseur, the bowl just wasn't the same caliber of poke I've experienced at poke spots. My friend's wrap was generous and she had enough leftovers to take home. Service was friendly and I was seated right away. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating - we sat inside as most of the tables outside were full and inside was cooler. Prices were reasonable; my drink and bowl was ~$31. Though I probably wouldn't order the ahi bowl again (and get my ahi fix at poke and sushi restaurants), I'd come back for drinks and try other items on their menu. I love that Pub 819 is walking distance from my apartment so I can enjoy a drink and not need to spend $$ on an uber/lyft to get home safely. I look forward to coming back when I need a night out with friends and good drinks! read more

Our group had burgers, truffle fries and spicy margaritas. All of the food was delicious. We sat at the bar on a Saturday night as the place was hopping! Our bartender, RD, took care of our orders and provided awesome service. I had heard the bar had burned down and the rebuild is really nice. Nice night out! read more

Had the brisket grilled cheese for the first time. Delicious brisket! Juicy and tender, not overloaded with sauce. Just the right amount. And the fries here are so good. They're the type that seem battered, not sure if they are or not, but they're the best part of the meal here. Also their beer selection is thoughtfully curated and really good sized. read more

Went in with some friends for an after dinner drink at the bar. It was trivia night so it was loud. The bartender was very sweet and helpful. I had a lavender Moscow mule that was sweet and delicious read more

Great atmosphere easy to relax and have a good time. Will come back again. The burger was good and quick to come out.

Such a fun spot! Went for beer and burgers and it did not disappoint. Something for everyone, game on the TV, group of parents with their kids, date nights, solo patrons, etc. Looking forward to going back! read more

Good atmosphere, nice service, great burgers, I really like the pretzel with beer cheese sauce. Try it out you will have a nice time.

Love Pub 819! The warm staff are always helpful. So many beers on tap, always fresh. My fave dish is Ahi Poke bowl, and all dishes I've had are top notch. What a beautiful old building! There is a large area that is popular with sports fans; it's like a 3-season porch with huge TVs. I try to visit Pub 819 whenever in Hopkins. read more

Great food options, lots of seating to watch a game! Awesome happy hour deals! I went after a hard work day needed a treat so was great to hit the happy hour 2-5p I went for the nachos which is always a go to. They have a great beer list too and the service was great and super helpful! read more

We used to go here all the time for Saturday lunch. We stopped because it was just so loud. Plus, parents were letting their young ones run wild. We decided to stop in for just a beer. They had redecorated, and it is dark but nice. The service was okay. The bar area was busy. Sadly, it is still so loud! Questioning if we will go back. read more

Food, drinks, and service great every time! Brooklyn was terrific and 819 is always fun!

Nice spot with covered outdoor seating in back. Our server was very nice and attentive. Drinks came out quick. The boneless wings were solid and the cauliflower was very good. I had the Hopkins smashed burger and it was good. Unique flavor pairings, however the burger itself was just ok. I felt like toppings were covering for the lackluster burger quality. Definitely will be back for another meal though! read more

Can't say enough good things about pub 819. Always consistently good food and friendly staff! Plus the outdoor seating is great!

I needed to use up 90 minutes and both the Wolves and Wild were playing so what better option than a sports bar. I was in the area and headed to Pub 819 on a recommendation. A friend and I cozied up to the bar where large TVs were showing our games. I had a glass of Cab. Loved the stemless glass. Staff was helpful and welcoming. Parking was a bit of a challenge but I snagged a spot in the lot behind the pub when someone left. Great stop. read more

A Craft and Crew spot on the west side. If you like the Block or Duke's on Seven and you find yourself in Hopkins. Check it out. Same menu. I don't venture from the Hot Chicc wings. So good! Might be the best spot in downtown Hopkins for dinner honestly. I'd go here before all of the bars or little restaurant/fast food spots on the main drag! read more

Another solid restaurant by the group that also owns the Howe in South Minneapolis. This is more of your traditional bar environment. A number of big screen televisions both inside and outside. The outside patio is actually covered and it appears could be used even in some cooler months. Good service. Good food. All in all a solid choice. read more

Great place! So glad they are back in business. Had the curds and pretzels at the bar.

My friend and I went to a local bakery class and had an hour to spare for dinner. This restaurant was a few blocks down. My friend has visited once prior for drinks and apps, but never a meal. We tried the pretzel sticks and cheese curds. Both of which are my favorite apps when. The cheese curds were decent, but the pepper jam that came with it was OUT OF THIS WORLD. In fact, I asked for a big side to go and was brought a soup bowl of it. I'll be set for the rest of summer. The pretzel sticks were decent, but have had better - I kid you not, go try Applebee's... you're welcome. The burger was tasty and a generous patty. The chicken sandwich was a little over spiced - very salty. I'm an old fashioned lover and tried theirs. It was good, but sweeter than I like. My friend got a mojito, and it was very refreshing. There's patio seating outside. I'll be back to try the July BOM - a firecracker shrimp burger. Sounds good! read more

This spot has gotten really popular! As it should. Good eats, variety off drinks, cool space. My group was attending the PenPals event by Hennepin County Library at the Hopkins Center of the Arts down the street. So we were a bit perplexed when they weren't honoring the reservation we made! We were on a tight schedule!! Luckily they enclosed their back patio and heated it so an overall comfortable space to fit us in though we thought we had a reservation. Weird. Lucky for them the food was good! Though we did get offered other table's food...we would have eaten it, but had not ordered it. Again weird. Sadly our friends cauliflower bowl took forever though she ordered first. What? We should have kept the other table's food! So as long as they figure out their "reservation" system (just call it what it is please adding you to the queue). And get the food runners on board with table numbers we'll keep going back because the food is so good! Look at that photo of the special for Katsu chicken bowl! Noms! read more

Great burgers! There's a main dining area, which can get a little loud, but there is also a heated patio in the back for winter that is quieter. Both areas have TVs with sports. Foodwise, the double royale was delicious and perfectly cooked (i loved the fresh onions, garlic aioli and pickles). Fries were nice and crispy, and cheese curds were super cheesy and came with some kind of jam sauce that was actually delicious. Some places do too much breading, but not here! They also have a list of mocktails, cocktails and wines in addition to beer. Food came out pretty quickly and for how busy it was our server was pretty attentive and friendly. I would definitely be back!! read more

Came with 3 friends on a Saturday night, it was busy but we managed to get seated right away. The service was good and the food came out fast. I got the Leo Melt with fries and it was $18. The burger was huge and delicious! The burger sauce was so good. I also got seasoned sour cream for the fries and it was great. There is free parking lots near the restaurant for parking. read more

Pub 819 offers an impressive variety of food for different preferences and dietary restrictions, along with a diverse list of adult beverages (including an entire menu dedicated to whiskey). Our group was seated right away on their patio and service was friendly and swift. This is a great place for a casual meal on Main Street in Hopkins, or a happy hour visit. It's particularly friendly for vegetarians and offered plenty of gluten free options as well. Our favorites were the Yum Yum bowl, Hot Chicken sandwich and Blackberry Mule, but everything we ordered was delicious. read more

I had left review in here about the rudeness of a host. Anyway the owner/manager contacted me asking how he could make it right. I don't accept people reaching out like that in order to get me to change my review. I believe that the review should be as is without business owners attempting to sway it. Anyway, he clearly reported my review and Yelp removed it for it being, "related to COVID guidelines." My message to the owner/manager of this establishment, if your staff are rude, your prices are too high, and your food is tasteless, removing my review isn't going to solve a thing. My review won't be the last one you'll be trying to have removed. read more

This is hard. It was a long day. A tough day and I wanted comfort food. I ordered for delivery and this did not hit the mark. I ordered meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I wanted juicy meatloaf with mashed potatoes and beef gravy that was warm and scrumptious. Unfortunately, maybe because it was delivered, the meat loaf was tough and hard to cut. It was dried out and difficult to eat. The onion on top was nice but it overwhelmed the plate, I discovered the broccoli hiding under the onions! :-) The mashed potatoes were going to be my saving item and it fell short. The gravy is unique. I don't want to say not good but not what I was looking for. It wasn't beef gravy, it was more herby and earthy. So just not what I was looking for tonite. I ordered the dog ice cream and Hank loved that. So one of us was happy tonite. I think the food had a unique spin and I really wanted standard meatloaf and mashed potatoes. So it didn't match up. I would perhaps try something else on the menu, but the meatloaf wouldn't make my next order. BTW. Forgot to mention. I ordered the mini donuts for dessert. There they were sitting on the counter when I walked back to the kitchen. Donuts are really good warm and of course since they were delivered and sat there, they were cold. Ta Da, my favorite appliance, my Breville toaster oven! Warmed the donuts and they were comfort food defined! . Yummm! The dipping sauces were perfect and these would make my must order again list! read more

Block from the office It is a really strong 4 It's not quite a 5 I've been here a hundred times or so now. Might as well write a review. They are Untappd verified which is cool, but no Untappd badge. They rotate a fair amount in the beer selection. If I hold off two weeks or so at a time I can usually find something new that I want to try on the beer front. The food menu also seems to rotate, albeit again slowly. I've had some things that I've really loved and some that have been rather meh at best. I'm not a big burger person, but their burgers are really good. Had the Thai Chicken Flatbread recently. Kinda dry. Needs more sauce and/or cheese. Just going off some recent memories. They seem to be trying very hard to incorporate multiple vegan options. Props. I can dabble in that direction, but very hard to go full hard core. I hope I'm still welcome with a four star. Pay for an Untappd local badge, rotate more on the food and more especially the beer and this could be five stars. read more
