Really when it gets super packed it can be a little crowded, but it's still worth it to come. They routinely have beers that support good causes and their beer flavors are always great. You can bring dogs in, the staff is always friendly, and there's plenty of events near by that you can go to. Parking can be a bit of an issue but if you look at side streets near by it shouldn't be too much of an issue. All in all if you're in the area and like beer make an effort to stop in, they've got all the popular styles and I've really enjoyed every kind that I've tried here.

Food 3/5: the cheese curds really stole the show with the salty and sweet matchup with the sauce. Everything else was ok. The tots were overcooked, the steak fajita didn't have much flavor. I asked for the sauce and cheese on the side, but did not get either. The elote was the best thing on the plate. Overall this experience was ok. There was also a fly that would not leave us alone, which is annoying during a dining experience. If you're looking for a dice bar in the area, this is an ok option.

The food was outstanding; we all received our food, exactly as ordered - despite our large party moving tables and changing positions. The manager was incredible throughout our visit and assisted with beer pours as needed from the tap wall (for those of us less skilled at a perfect pour!). I'm so glad to have finally visited this place - I look forward to returning!! A huge THANK YOU to the entire staff... we so appreciate you. Thank you for providing this large group with a great experience.

The Cardinal…read moreTavern is a few feet from the light rail and I knew I needed to make a visit just from the outside look of the place. A few days later, my wife and I stopped by. We arrived around 400 PM and were quickly greeted and seated. Our waitress was friendly and a fantastic waitress. We had onion rings appetizer, wife had a Jucy Lucy, and I had a steak sandwich. She had a Miller Lite draft and I had a Budweiser draft. Both of us really enjoyed our meals. Portion sizes were strong. Waitress couldn't have been nicer and either the manager/owner stopped by three different times and talked to us about a repeat customer program they have in place. A very nice guy. This is definitely a locals favorite but we were welcomed in! There isn't anything fancy about the Cardinal Tavern but if you are looking for good food in a friendly environment, stop by. You will be glad you did.

Dive bar 2 of 40 My…read moregoal this year is to hit at least 40 dive bars in 2026. My second stop is to hit up one of my old haunts from many years ago when I lived in S. MPLS. So here we are, 38th and Hiawatha. Not a lot has changed over the years, except maybe more selections on tap. walking in from the corner door takes you into a dimly light bar with enough to seat about 10 to 12 patrons. You will also notice there is tons of seating options in the bar and into the second room. Further back you will find the game room with a bunch of pool tables and a couple dart boards for the gaming folks. The vibe in here is typical neighborhood bar, it is relaxed, the patrons are just your regular easy going folks, and you can easily chat up folks here...maybe discover a new drinking buddy! We came in to do a little day drinking, play some pull-tabs and eat some food. First and foremost, winning a couple hundred in pull-tabs already makes this a fun place to hang...actually it would have been fun regardless. The food fare is your standard bar food, however they do serve breakfast, and the entrees I saw people woofing down, I'd hit this place up for breakfast. We opted to order the pork tenderloin and the sour cream and onion burger. Both were served on toast; the tenderloin on whole wheat with pickles and onions (you need to ask for onions) with a sizable breaded tenderloin. If you want a side I.e. coleslaw, cottage cheese, tots, French fries you need to order with your sandwich. The burger served on pumpernickel had fried onions on it with the sour cream. If I lived on the south side, I'd certainly make this my second home.

I opted for the standard buffalo toss and did not regret it. It's not cheap, but for the quality and quantity I think it's worth it. For me it was plenty for a lunch without any sort of side.

Service was good, ambiance on the outdoor patio was nice, and overall had a very positive experience here.

We decided to eat at Northbound for dinner on a bustling Independence Day Eve at 7PM. Walking up to…read morethe restaurant, it seemed like there would be a small wait, but luckily for us, a table just opened up as we walked through the doors. Even with how busy the place was, I didn't find the service to be too slow. The food took about 10 minutes to come out. Cheese Curds ($12.50) - Interesting curds. They're covered and fried in a leavened waffle batter, which gives a more airy type of crisp on the outside. It's more robust than normal cheese curd batter, but has that lighter and softer waffle crunch. The texture inside is right in between being soft and gooey but has enough firmness for a slight squeaky behavior. I actually don't prefer this texture - I massively prefer one extreme or the other, either completely squeaky, or completely softened and melted. The curds are all separated with some mini batter nubs spread around for extra crunch. The curds comes with a ranch dip that has fresh herbs in buttermilk and for some reason reminds me of thousand island in taste. (4/5) 18-hr Porketta ($17.50) + Fries Upgrade (+$2.50) - This is a very simple sandwich with Northbound's famous 18 hour porketta, some Swiss cheese melted on top, and finally some softened sliced onion in a brioche bun. The porketta is essentially pulled pork and is lean with basically no fat. It's seasoned well with a good fennel and spiced aroma The flavors are quite pronounced and while the pork is relatively tender for the cut, some fat would do some major justice. The fries are mediocre. They are clearly hand cut and fried in house, but they are a little underfried since the interiors are firm rather than fluffy and they are floppy in texture. Meh. The porketta comes with a sauce that's fruity, tangy, and acidic. It's surprisingly great for the cheese curds since the curds are so heavy and fatty. (4/5) Overall I found the food at Northbound to be good enough but nothing particularly outstanding. I certainly don't think it was worth the 45 minute round trip drive. but I wouldn't mind eating there again if I happened to be in the area in the future. Food: [4/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 4/5 Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms

What do you get when you combined dill pickles and fried chicken? Heaven…read more If you are a fried chicken (and pickles) lover, you definitely need to try out Bull's Horn, a cozy local joint Minneapolis has to offer. You cannot go wrong with any of their entrees but I'd always go for their chicken basket to share with friends, and a side of fries. Their chicken is coated perfectly with dill seasoning, crunchy bread coating is coated nicely and the meat always comes out juicy and tender. The fries are also lovely and they always pair nicely when eating chicken. 5/5 recommend.

Today the place was packed due to the festivities, and the parking lot was transformed into a large patio with a DJ, a small bar area, and an outdoor bbq that was slinging burgers, 1/4 pound hot dogs, tots, and popcorn chicken. There was also a meat raffle going on as well. Since it was pretty hot out, we decided to get a seat inside. The seating for today was largely communal to accommodate the large crowd, and we found a seat for the three of us. I went outside to get a smash burger, 1/4 pound hotdog, and a basket of tots. The wife stayed inside with the kiddo to order some drinks. The food cooking outside took tickets ($5 a ticket) and 5 tickets were bought for the food. Not a bad deal in my book. The food took under 10 minutes to get, and the cooks were working the fryers and flattop grill like pros. The smash burger was a nice size, came with cheese and grilled onions, and was on a brioche bun. The hot dog was a nice size, and the tots were plentiful, hot, and crispy out of the outside fryer. Run of the mill condiments were also available, and serve yourself. The wife said the smash burger was better than I make, and I make a pretty damn good burger. While we were eating, I totally felt the dive bar feel, and had the feeling this was pretty much a local bar hangout. Supposedly it's been around for over 70 years (with a name change). After eating, we went outside to see if we could win some meat in the raffle but didn't get lucky. We will come back though. Evidently every 4th Wednesday they have another meat raffle at the bar. The good news is the kiddo won a huge cake on the cake walk contest! We will definitely be back. I want to try their fried dill pickle broasted chicken. Time to eat some cake!

They even have a changing station in their bathroom so major props to them! They don't serve food but seems like they have a food truck set up for the evenings and they sell snacks at the front. We were at Costco beforehand so I just picked up a hot dog to bring over. They have a few pin ball machines and board games on a bookshelf in the corner. Beer is good and prices are reasonable. 7 dollars for 18oz and 6 for 12oz. I think it was happy hour when we went because it was a dollar off the 18 and 12 oz. Great place to enjoy a beer and get some work done or to meet up with friends. Overall 4.6/5
