Can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet…read more It's probably my third time, at least perhaps it's been more visits than that. I enjoy the atmosphere, the people, the outdoor patio. It feels very open inside yet doesn't feel bland and cold - has a cozy type of feeling. Staff is super nice and the beer is really good! My favorite was the Jalapeño Cream Ale, and now it's the Hot Blonde! I love that spicy stuff, although it's not spicy really it just has an incredible pepper flavor to it. Super easy to drink and I bet it goes with lots of delicious food! They do serve food here but I haven't tried any of it yet. Although I hope to in the near future. There are lots of different types of events here and it seems like it would be a great place to host something at.

Urban Growler is one of my top breweries in the Twin Cities…read more The atmosphere is great and comfortable, and it's an easy place to spend an evening. It was busy around 6 and cleared out pretty well around 8-9pm on a Saturday night. The food is very filling and very salty so it pairs well with the beer lol. I had both the IPA and the hazy IPA and enjoyed them, and the basil cocktail (whose name escapes me) was excellent. Five stars, one of my favorite breweries!!

Modern and beautiful, but far for most of us who live in the twin cities. We attended a family…read morewedding here and I believe this venue was chosen because of its beauty as well as its relatively low costs and flexibility to bring in our own food and champagne. However, it is an hour drive from the Twin Cities metro area. I loved the outdoor area for the wedding ceremony, followed by champagne in the reception hall and then dinner and dance in an adjacent dining hall.

I recently attended a wedding at this venue. It was a gorgeous place. Unfortunately the staff makes…read moreit difficult to leave a 5 star review. The staff on clean up crew was unfriendly. They began to clean up before 9, even though the dance went until 10:30. They took down decorations, tables and chairs to the point that there wasn't even a place for people to sit that weren't dancing. They moved people's stuff around to other places so they could take tables down which made it difficult for people to find their things. Less than a minute after the dance ended, they began to shut off the lights. Due to the fact we felt we were being pushed out, I wouldn't recommend this place

Plant Bingo is a must!…read more Check the website to RSVP. You have to RSVP online to hold your spot. You can still come and hangout even if you don't play bingo or if it's full but recommend RSVPing in advance It's fun- 10 rounds and a coverall at the end You win plants but if you tie with someone you usually get something- ex. Candy :) Check in at 5:45pm. Recommend getting there early to get a good seat especially if you have a bigger group Couch areas, tables, bar seating A vendor comes around with homemade burritos, tacos, tamales and rice for a good price! And they are tasty! Sometimes they have a food truck. Everytime I go to bingo the burritos are there.

This is my favorite brewery I have been to in Minneapolis. For starters, the plants everywhere make…read moreit feel so warm and cozy and even in winter you almost feel like you're outside. Secondly, they have a wall right at the entrance where they have hundreds of games for people to use while they're there which is so fun. Thirdly, they have great seating for groups of so many different sizes to come, play games, chat, and drink beer and it's truly the perfect environment. The beer servers were very kind and patient when there was an extremely long line and there were a lot of beer options and the ones I tried were all great. I can't wait to go back some day!

I wouldn't put it as one of my favorites as far as smash burgers goes but it had me feeling satisfied and full when leaving. Prepare for a mess if you order one - gooey saucey and greasy! The bun on the bottom will be soaked in all things involved. The fires are 10/10 Prosciutto and chips really surprised me - I've never had this combo and loved it! Gnocchi had wild flavors making you come back for more Peppers were a solid appetizer worth trying. Not spicy! Good speak easy vibes, good cocktail options.

All of our food came out quickly and tasted great. We started with the chili cheese fries and the gem lettuce salad. For our main meals, we had the happy hour burger (a must-try) and the poutine.

Five stars isn't enough for this awesome spot! MPLS Make is a super friendly community that I…read moredidn't even know existed. I went to MPLS Make needing help with an epoxy pour table I was making. I had an epoxy leak and was pretty much at a loss on how to proceed with the tools I had available in my garage. Theo and Danica offered a totally reasonable price to help me finish the table with their incredible equipment and insights. Their help cost me a fraction of what I was quoted elsewhere, and their work environment was also much more enjoyable to be a part of! They even gave me some sandpaper (super helpful as I finished up my project) and a MPLS Make sticker on my way out! I highly recommend reaching out to them if you need help with a quarantine DIY project!
