    Culture collab vintage can

    I have no idea how I haven't reviewed Surly yet!! This is a staple spot for pizza, appetizers, meeting friends/family, an amazing patio in the summertime, and lots of beer options! We came for Mother's Day and they had a build your own bouquet room, as well as a small market with vendors & a DJ. I'm not a huge beer person but I've never been disappointed by something I've tried. Their pizza is woodfired & delicious! Truly a 5/5 for atmosphere, service, and food!

    Brisket and Barley $23

    Service great. Beer variety good. Food ok. Had brisket and barley. Was not super tender but tasted good. A bit chewy though. Barley was nice addition. Hamburger was small for price. French fries ok. Nothing wow.

    Interior
    Nancy W.

    This Minneapolis brewery had a large parking lot. If I had to rate the beer we enjoyed it would be 5/5 but service was 3/5. There was a great selection of beers (I had no idea Surly made so many varieties) and the prices were reasonable. We sat at the bar, and despite 4 staff behind the bar, and not a fully packed room, we had a hard time getting service throughput our visit. We ordered guacamole with our first round that had not appeared 20-30 minutes into our visit. When we were able to flag someone down to inquire it was because our food order had never been placed?! The interior is rather stark and industrial looking, but that's probably what they were striving for. I noticed there was an outdoor space, but we sat inside at the bar. I really enjoyed the Coco Nitro Stout; I'd love to be able to purchase that for taking home. That chocolate note is what I seek with a stout. It packed a wallop, though, at 12%...consider yourself warned. The guacamole and chips were "meh" at best; I probably would not order them again. They certainly weren't worth the long wait!

    Wow! What a great way to spend an afternoon! We had kids ranging from 2 to 33 years of age. Killer pizzas great beer and sodas Lots of open space for the kids to play. One issue was the seating and ordering system is kinda chaotic not a lot of border. But love this place!.

    Surly just isn't one of my top brewery picks anymore. The main reason I come back is for the outdoor space. But even with that, the food ordering setup is so odd to me and I think it's their biggest flaw. The fact that you can only order from one menu while sitting in a specific area of the brewery, and the other menu is only available upstairs just makes everything more complicated than it should be. We ordered pizza from upstairs, and it was pretty good but we had to get it "to go" so we could bring it down to the grassy area of the patio. Also, I'm all for kids at breweries, but when we went, (Saturday evening) there were so many. I think the big open space makes it kid-friendly, but it also meant they were running around everywhere, some even running across the top of the picnic tables. Not going to lie, it felt a little unhinged, haha.

    Spinach artichoke dip and Nakatomi pizza
    Ruby W.

    I've ended up going to Surly's two times in the last two days. It's a very nice vibe. Their patio is so huge! A lot of choice of where to sit. I want to sit in their upstairs bar sometime soon. Their beers are always good and they have a good range of options. You order up at the bar, so pretty limited contact with staff, but my limited interactions were good. I got a good recommendation from them and they let me try multiple beers, so love that. Overall, very nice for a chill drink on a summer night. Updated review: Went back on Saturday and finally got food. We got the Nakatomi pizza, spinach and artichoke dip, and caesar salad. Everything was sooo delicious. Such a good combo and just hit the spot so well. Also! Sat on the upstairs balcony and it was really nice :) But one of my playing cards fell down into the slit between the boards of the patio. Bummed about that, but it was the wind's fault.

    Pinball time
    Dave Q.

    Two years in a row for my birthday we've gone to Dorits Tavern, they make the second floor into a fun rendition of the tavern from the Gremlins movie. The food has been consistently good, the appetizers we had and the pizzas were mostly very good, my son got was not great, it had a very funky taste. The other four pizzas we had were delicious. Our waitperson didn't seem like they wanted to be working... a bummer as our past waitpeople have been great. The beers, we choose those you can only enjoy onsite, were very good. The second floor is decorated like the tavern from the movie and all decked out for the holidays. Very fun atmosphere. It's very loud so be prepared. We played some pinball machines and that was great fun also.

    Walter White Pizza
    Kristine S.

    Surly Brewing came highly recommended by a friend of ours so naturally we planned a visit while in Minneapolis. We took the train from our hotel and after a short walk we arrived at Surly! We tried a couple different brews during our visit including Winterize and Furious IPA. I also had a Jell-O shot because why not. We got lucky with seats at the bar upstairs and ordered 2 pizzas: Walter White - great combination of thinly sliced potato, garlic oil, and rosemary was really interesting and tasty. I'm Your Daddy - my favorite of the two. I love anything with pepperoni. The burnt honey added a lovely sweetness. The pizzas were nicely charred since they are New Haven-style. Great brewery with delicious beer and pizza, friendly bartenders. Indoor and outdoor areas to hang out, fire pits. A little bit of everything! Highly recommend!

    Marissa P.

    One of my favorite local breweries in Minneapolis! I love their Furious and Hazy IPA -- always solid picks. The pizza is great, and the beer flight is a fun way to try a little of everything. The patio is a huge plus -- super dog-friendly and perfect for nice weather. Such a good spot for both date nights and hanging out with friends. Always a good time here!

    Mango  kombucha
    Mary W.

    Very friendly welcoming staff. We walked in and ordered and went out to the grass to sit with our group. On a Sunday afternoon (holiday weekend) we were able to sit around the fire pit area with 8 of us. There were tables available (have to ask the team to get a table) I had the mango kombucha - yummy! And husband and friends had beer they enjoyed. Would love to have the pups but we're visiting from way out of town.

    Great time yet again at Surly! Stopped in on a Saturday to get my free beer (Pub Pass) and get some food upstairs. Kiddo love the Steve pizza with Pepperoni. My wife shared the Tempting Fate pizza with some spinach artichoke dip. Food was great and even brought some home for left overs. Bartenders were great, the offered suggestions based on their experience. Took 2 crowlers home for Sunday. Can't wait till next time. Thanks Surly

    Surly has great beer, and the staff is awesome. I have never had a meal there, but the number of people eating speaks to the good eats, I think. Tours are affordable and fun, and in warm weather, the whole complex is abuzz with activity and people enjoying the local brews. Last time I went, they were decorated for Halloween, and that was super cool.

    The Caesar Salad
    David S.

    The best part about this experience is the ambiance both indoor and out (though the outdoor patio stares down a huge old granery façade, but it does block the sun from coming directly into your eyes in the evening, season-depending). Everyone looked like they were having a fun time eating pizza and drinking beer. We tried the Caesar's salad -- best part was the croutons, and a couple types of pizza -- all were decent but the crust was kinda tasteless though perfectly baked (needed more salt and yeast) and the toppings were fine if also not memorable. A huge beer selection but some of them were downright weird, taste-wise (as in, how could you let this overly sweet stuff be sold). Service was friendly with order first and deliver later.

    Ask the Community - Surly Brewing

    Do you still have other gluten free options in regard to the other food,?

    Yes, lots of gluten free options in the beer hall, a few alternatives in pizza as well. Plenty of options for you to enjoy, including beer and NA items

    Do you have gluten free pizza option?

    Unfortunately no, because of the heavy gluten environment we don’t have a good way to provide a safe gluten free option.

    Do they have both the brunch menu and lunch menu on Sunday?

    Gita, We just have the brunch menu, thanks for reaching out!

    Can you order pizza from the restaurant or is it a separate dining area?

    Upstairs only from what I know

    Does Surly serve cocktails or wine?

    No only beer

    Do you have to be 21 to get food?

    No. Restaurant & pizza upstairs is all ages.

    Are dogs allowed inside during fall/winter?

    No unfortunately--for canine lovers--dogs are not allowed within the beerhall at any time unless they are Service Dogs. Call ahead if you have questions. 763.999.4040 and press 1.

    Where do you park?

    Hi Parry, We have many parking options including Valet on weekends, a large lot on our property and various other areas at night time by our property! If you are coming for a… Read more

    Gluten free options?

    They definitely have gluten free food options. In terms of drink I don't believe that have any true gluten free alcohol options. They often have a "gluten reduced" beer but not truly any gluten free beer or cider!

    On a Sunday- is the pizza upstairs open? Also, are you only allowed to order off the brunch menu?

    Hi, Pizza is open on Sundays from 11am to 9pm. We no longer have a brunch menu on weekends but we do have some dishes on our main Beer Hall menu from it.

    Do they have flights available?

    No. But they will let you sample whatever you want to try before buying.

    Do they have happy hours?

    They do not have a hh. Most breweries and tap rooms do not. You are getting the freshest beer you will ever taste. Think of it like a different kind of hh! This is not like going to a bar.… Read more

I would have liked mine a bit better if it was toned back on the hoppy flavor, but it was still decent. This place is VERY kid/family-friendly.
