Came here on a late (10 pm) Friday night looking for a place to grab a quick drink before heading to our next location and decided to check this place out. We walked there since we were in the area but being in the North Loop area, I could imagine that parking could be a challenge. The brew hall was fairly empty with a few patrons playing skee ball, but it was very clean and a pretty mellow vibe overall. The bartender welcomed us in and shared what was popular on the drink menu and allowed us to sample a few before deciding on a drink. They also served food ranging from wings, ribs, burgers, and other BBQ restaurant classics. I'm not sure what this place is like in its peak but I definitely would try it again next time if I'm in the area.

Cup of Brisket & Bean Chili

This might be a unique need but I am often in need of a small bite in MLPS before I have to make a long commute home and this is becoming my top choice for that! Their happy hour prices are perfect, portion size is just what I am looking for, service is quick, friendly, there's lots of seating, and mostly importantly, the food is delicious!! Today I just got a HH slider ($5) and fries ($4) and it was delightful. The pulled pork is super well marinated, has just enough coleslaw on top to not overpower the meat, and the crispy fried onions add a nice crunch. Equally I was shocked by how much I liked the fries- shoestring with a perfect amount of salt and crunch to my likeness!! I'm sure the full size portions are good as well, but the happy hour prices can't be beat.

Beer

It was a slow evening with the State Fair and no sporting events in town. We sat at the bar. I had a water, my husband had a beer and I ordered dessert. We had already eaten dinner but the bar-B-Q smelled amazing. The bartender was really friendly chatting with everyone at the bar. My dessert was sweet and cool just what I was looking for. Somehow we missed this gem when we've been in the area before.

A great place to stop before or after a baseball game. They have food options though we only opted for a beer. Plenty of seating and very quick service at the bar.

Beef Brisket Sandwich

First time to StormKing, the beers are amazing. I had the Brisket Sandwich, it was a little under flavored, I also didn't care for the giant fat cap. Next time I would love to try their Ribs. The service was great however.

The food here is quite delicious. I had a half pound brisket, Texas twinkies and pulled pork slider. The food here is amazeballs good. And our server Veronica was a gem. They have beer, wine, Seltzer and mixed drinks. The BEER: Czech-Mate Czech Pilsner 5.2% ABV... it is a pils, but didn't get much if any of the distinct Czech flavor St. Bridget pale ale 5.3% ABV... a little fruity, an odd after taste. Not bad, not good, just okay. Pantao new England session IPA 4.8% ABV.... not the New England I was expecting, but definitely has the session clean taste and mouth feel 30 Rack for the ice house cream ale 4.8% ABV... this is good, rock solid cream ale Jen donut Stout 7.5% ABV... sooo, I really liked this, cinnamon forward, this is quite good Thors Hammer DIPA 8.2% ABV... this is awesome, though 3 of these and you'll be dropping your keys Great place for BBQ and Beer in Minneapolis.

A unique type of smoke house and brewery. You order at the counter. The sliders for happy hour do come individually as one. It's very laid back and urban. They offer happy hour specials!! We ordered the ribs and they were delicious. Just don't forget to grab some bbq sauce.

The best BBQ in the area! I cannot do propane tasting BBQ so if you can either then this is your spot to! It tastes slightly firewood smoked which is the best kind. The Togo service was fast & they have condiments available that is self-service. The interior is lovely with high ceilings, fireplace, board games, full bar service.

Cheese curds ($12). Small-ish portion, but the dill pickle ranch was TASTY.

One of my favorite spots for Monday night trivia (mostly because I love their trivia host Taylar, but the rest of the staff are also great!) I think they've changed their menu in the past few months, because it looks way different from the last time I was here! Seems like they're really leaning into the handhelds now, with the addition of burgers and fried chicken sandwiches. I will greatly miss the dearly departed pulled squash bbq sandwich that was my favorite from the old menu, but it's nice to see they're still keeping some veggie options available with the black bean burger ($14) and Herbivorous Butcher fried "chicken" sandwich ($17). This time around, I tried out the new baja burger ($15) and the cheese curds ($12). The burger was pretty solid, but I thought it could've used a bit more jalapeño, so I ended up adding some hot sauce (they have Yellow Bird habanero, which is one of my favs!). The cheese curd portion was also on the smaller side, but still good--I did really enjoy the dill pickle ranch it came with. Overall, I do like the spot and the staff, even though their prices are on the steep side (but then again, that's no different than any other place in the North Loop, haha). I'm curious to try more of the new menu, since I loved the old stuff so much--I've heard great things about their actual bbq'd meats, so I'm definitely gunning to try the brisket next time I'm back!

Briskets Best Friend
Nikki B.

A day of brewery hopping led us here. I had only been in One a couple of times....but what StormKing did to the seating.... didn't even look like the same place! Certainly not a bad thing, just different. I opted for a glass of Briskets Best Friend. Friends ordered a Sloshed Midwest Pale Ale and Max Haze Hazy IPA. The beer was alright. The tap room was bright and comfortable. The middle of the room is now lined with booths. A buddy also ordered a pulled pork sandwich, that he really enjoyed. Thanks StormKing

Brisket plate
Benjamin S.

StormKings got a limited menu, but great food for what they do have. Beware of them potentially running out of food though, which is what happened for some the night I went. They host trivia, which is what I went for. The ambiance for trivia is great and they've got a good selection of drinks, Their staff is friendly and welcoming! Be mindful that parking can be difficult, so plan a few extra minutes for your trip.

Another visit, this time with pub passes (and warmer weather). I had Uphill Backwards and it's grandfather, Learning Opportunity DIPA, per the recommendation of the bartender and they were excellent choices for a warm summer evening on their patio. Dinner was pulled pork, slaw and fries. I like salty fries but these were really salty. Pulled pork was excellent and slaw was a perfect light, crunchy compliment. We sat on the patio and played cards with friends. It was a beautiful summer evening and their patio is spacious and comfortable with lots of areas for fun and conversation. Another great stop.

Pulled Pork Sandwich
Carley R.

Absolutely love this spot. It's a great location next to a couple other breweries and a cider place. It's also conveniently close to the target center and target field. I walked over to order some food while I was playing trivia at number 12 and the staff was so friendly. The staff offered to bring my food over to my table after I said I can come back to pick it up. The food was really good and it came out quickly. They had a station for sauces, salt and pepper and silverware that I found helpful. They always have whatever game is on and they throw a ton of events; like trivia, flower arrangements and paint and sip. Highly recommend checking them out

The patio is a huge highlight. It's spacious, well set up, and perfect for enjoying drinks outside, especially in the warmer months.

The food is also a standout, which isn't always the case at breweries. We especially love the pizza and the elote fries, both are consistently delicious and pair perfectly with their drinks.

The staff has always been super friendly and patient, even when it's busy, which we really appreciate. It makes the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. Inside, the space is just as great. There are two levels and games you can play, so there's plenty to do no matter the weather. Overall, this is one of our go-to spots and somewhere we find ourselves coming back to again and again.

Seriously, I've probably had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They have an extensive collection of beers that will please anybody, with some of the best Hazys and best Sours in town, and also cocktails that work for folks that don't want a beer. The patio is superb, and although you sometimes share it with a passing train, it's tucked away and is a nice separation from the business of the surrounding north loop. I'd argue the wings are easily top 3 in the whole state, they're always crispy, and the monthly specials are clearly thought over and iterated on by talented chefs that want to try new and unique things. The pizza is also probably the best Detroit style in the city, try the Elote and you'll see what I mean. Staff is a hoot, they're all super nice, great to talk to, and have honest opinions about their own menu. Seriously, if you're anywhere near the downtown area, go here.

We lucked out to find a parking spot very close, and the restaurant wasn't even busy when we were there. I can only imagine parking is quite a challenge at busier times of day. We had a cozy booth. I had a view of the streetside windows and the dining room. Music was at a pleasant low volume in the background--we had no trouble talking and listening to each other. Our server, Lali, took good care of us. We were never left wanting and empty dishes were cleared promptly. Everything came out at an ideal pace, too. My husband had a beer from on tap. I was very happy that they had a couple kinds of cider, so I had one from Minneapolis Cider. We ordered poutine as our appetizer. It was fantastic, and a massive serving! My husband had the brisket philly for his entree; brisket is one of those meat cuts that is tricky to get right, as it easily gets too dry, but the cook absolutely perfected it. I had the smoked trout and greens bowl, which was no only delicious, but was also a feast for the eyes. I have never had trout prepared like this before, only salmon, and this dish was quite special. Just a wonderful place. I can see why it is so highly reviewed.

Our food came out super fast and hot, and my glass of House Cabernet for eight dollars was a generous poor and a nice wine. There's plenty of street parking in the blocks around this area, and there is a cute bookstore as well as a sustainable goods shop that you should definitely check out across the street. I would love to come back here again!

They are bringing that south of the border flair with them with Mexican Food and beers that pair well with the spices.

Sexi NuMexi: A Mexican Lager that is light bodied and subtle, but has a nice sweetness on the finish that clings to the palate in just the right way. Ope: An India Pale Ale that they call a "Midwest-Style IPA". Super drinkable with a nice malty backbone that is heavier in caramel and biscuit flavors than the Hazys and West Coast styles that are predominantly making it around the States. 505: A Mexican Lager dosed with Chile, Lime, and Salt. I don't get a lot of salinity or lime, but there is a mild chile flavor on the finish that leaves as fast as it comes - which is exactly what you want from a Chile beer.
