The menu is really themed, but the bartender was able to help me select a drink based on what I like. We also ordered French fries to nibble on (better than most but not the best fries you'll ever eat). My favorite part was the bathroom. I was a little tipsy and seeing myself be purple in the mirror was a trip This is a cool place everyone needs to have a drink at least once. I would go back to try other options and explore more of their food menu.

A real mismatch for me but popular with the locals. Acoustics not great- not enough insulation to absorb the noise. Cocktails delicious- really great! Brandon the bartender described them perfectly. Loved the comfy bar stools. Hooks under the bar but a little too spaced out. Could use more. But glad they were there even if the one closest was in the way I started with the Tapaculo which was like a banana smoky Negroni Next was the Calluna which was like a lychee martini. Highly recommend!!

Parking can be annoying in this area (old cobblestone streets), but there is a paid lot right across the street from the entrance if you can't find street parking. Upon walking in, the bar top itself was packed with regulars at an off hour on a Friday. We sat at a small table by the pull tabs. Fun & divey atmosphere with a pool table and plenty of photo ops. Decided on Bina's Burger (smash burger) with Fries, and a side of Mozzarella Sticks. Loved the classic cup the Coke came in, and I tried both of the Old Fashioned drinks on the menu. Bina's old fashioned is okay, and will do the trick if you're purely looking for effect. The Wisconsin old fashioned is very sweet with muddled cherries and orange. The mozzarella sticks were served with a tomato soup dip which was interesting, but makes sense (grilled cheese & tomato soup). Ultimately the smash burger is the star! Very salty and crispy and delicious! I could see this becoming a regular craving! Water and condiments are on a stand to the left of the pull tabs.

My friend and I split the cheeseburger, grilled cheese, and mozzarella sticks. My favorite was the grilled cheese and dill pickle chips. I cannot wait to over order that in 2026. Their mozzarella sticks are served with tomato soup/dip, but I used that for my grilled cheese and it paired well. I did have this delivered via Door Dash, so I understand the quality isn't the same as if you ate at the restaurant - especially on a MN winter night. It was barely warm, but honestly, that didn't ruin the experience. I cannot wait to try their food again in their restaurant.

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!

The atmosphere of the place gives a nice relaxed and colorful vibe, and the drinks and food menu had a stunning variety. The music was performed by Javier Hernandez and his band and was beautiful. The music here will change day to day, but on this Friday evening ours was beautiful. It included piano, trumpet, bongos, drums and bass. Staff were all attentive without being overbearing and allowed us to enjoy the music, and the food ended up being fantastic. We got deviled eggs (some of the best I've ever had) and Okonomiyaki which in this case was a variation of fried sweet potato and was delicious. Drink variety ranges from fruity cocktails to wine to N.A. beer and they had something for everyone. My only complaint of the evening was the booth we sat in was not very comfortable and it required a lot of fidgeting. Other than this 5/5 experience.

There's a great photo op in the back close to the restrooms that's a must do when visiting as well. Lots of TVs playing surfing or coastline views. Highly recommend this place!

The bar is so cool looking and the booths are nice and roomy, even for six people Going there Thursday-Saturday you are pretty much guaranteed to get amazing drinks. We have been there early in the week and the experience was not the same, not sure if it's just different mixologists on the busier days or what. The main reason this is not a five star review is the food. It's really nice to get snacks with your well crafted beverage but since the food menu changed to a Polynesian theme a while ago, we no longer order food.
