This is a cool space. It's a restaurant so it's family friendly and there's a ton of variety in seating options. They do take Reservations but not when there are big events going on. We had an ill-timed visit during the ganja games which attracted large crowds and caused a lot of confusion. The outdoor seating allows you to order from QR codes and makes splitting the bill easy with big parties. Overall the food was good, the ambiance was great, and we'll be back but we'll check their calendar of events first! read more

I've enjoyed Surly's beers from back when they started in Brooklyn Center. I knew they were not cheap, but still, $20 for a stein was a bit of a shock. After reflecting , it's not out of line with beer prices in other bars, but it was too big for me after being California sober much of the summer. The beer garden and stage area is really lovely. I was there for the music, specifically FenixDion. Since it was Surlyfest, it may have been more crowded than usual. I didn't see any hope of getting a table to try the taproom food, but luckily there is the pizza option too. That also seemed a little pricey at $19 for a Neapolitan style 12", however, it was upscale in taste as well, the sausage was especially memorable. I took part of it home with me, telling myself I'd let my son try it. That didn't happen, ended up eating it all! There is plentiful everything here. Parking, bathrooms (shiny clean), eating spaces. The staff seemed a little stressed, though they were getting it done. Again, this was Surlyfest so it was likely a busier Saturday than usual. read more

Came here with some friends after dinner. I am not a beer person so I just got a mocktail (there was only one option to choose from). Personally it was not my favorite but I loved the vibes here! There are plenty of seating and even though it was busy we got seated right away. If you are a beer person there are plenty of options! I would love to come here again and try out the food. Such a fun place to hangout with friends and they have a nice outdoor seating area! The service was great. They stopped by multiple times with refills and all the staff is friendly. Plus there is a very big parking lot... I would definitely try this place out if you want to hang with friends or grab a couple drinks. read more

Surly is a well known large and in charge brewery. But hate to say it but it lives up to the hype. They serve great beer, cocktails, and seltzers. Have a variety of food choices downstairs and upstairs including pizza. Their brewery tour is wonderful on a Saturday too. read more

Beer is incredible here (except the farmhouse sour, only the 4th or 5th beer in my life I've not finished). But everything else drink wise was great! Now the food... I was extremely disappointed. I got the orange chicken which was $16 and was upset to see 5-6 pieces of chicken and a spoon of rice. I was still hungry and ordered tortilla chips but they were so salty and over seasoned I could barely finish them, but since I was hungry just powered through. My wife and buddy ordered pizza from upstairs and both loved it though. So maybe stick with the pizza. The ordering method was kinda of cool with a QR code unique to each table and have a running tab on your card. It was a bit loud in there, but it had a cool "gift" shop inside and awesome views of the brewing rooms. With how bad the food was I want to give a 3 star, but the beer was good enough to bring it back up to 4. read more

Food wasn't good when we came here after work. Beer was flat. Service was poor and unprofessional. Would not recommend. Many better options around Minneapolis. read more

Came to Surly on a Sunday afternoon to have lunch and a couple of drinks. With the location being so large, we were able to find a table right away. We ordered the OG surly burger, the spicoli pizza, and caesar salad. The pizza and salad were better than the burger. For $15, the burger didn't come with a side nor was it worth the price. It very average tasting and didn't have a ton of flavor. There are much better burgers in the Twin Cities. However, the pizza was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The caesar salad also had the perfect amount of dressing. Overall, I wouldn't order the burger again but I would try more of their pizza and salad offerings! read more

Stopped by Surly Brewing after visiting the Ice Castles in St. Paul for a beer and supper. It is a cool Beer Hall with tons of seating and lots of artwork and lights. The beer list is extensive with a choice for everyone. My favorite was the nitro coffee ale. The menu had lots of different pub style choices. My favorite was the brisket queso. Service was fine, we were a bit put off by the guy at the front door. He was very awkward and not welcoming. Our server was decent. I'd like to go back when the weather would allow for outdoor seating. read more

Meet up with friends and I could not have chosen a better venue. Plenty of space upstairs on a weeknight as it wasn't too busy. Warm service though it's pay-as-you-go here. Beers were excellent, the meatball appetizer was insanely delicious and we enjoyed two pizzas. The white clam "Pioneer Hitchhiker" was beyond tasty. The Spicoli (sausage, radicchio, onion) was also fabulous. There's a lot of flavor here and it goes well with beer, beer and more beer. I'd say my only complaint is the parking. It was a pretty good walk from the parking lot to the entrance but they do have handicapped parking up front if that helps. read more

Got surprised by my wife with the lunch spot being another pizza joint I've been wanting to try. First the I'm your daddy, this was great, nice char on the edge to give some bitter notes to complement the sweetness of the honey. It had a nice airiness and undercarriage with wonderful chew. 2nd was the Don't feed them at midnight, exactly like a jalapeño popper pizza should taste. These were both homeruns! read more

I have been to a lot of breweries but this was bigger than I expected. I have enjoyed Surly's selection of fine craft beers, so it was good to finally get to the place where the magic all happens. All the selection were very good, open area with room to me, lots of light and comfortable atmosphere. The service was good. I didn't get an opportunity to try the food but I will next time in. read more

Popped in here while visiting MN and we were so glad we did! It was an early Sunday evening. They had fires going on outside and so many beers inside. They did have pizza which we wanted to try but had eaten. It looked delicious!! I loved their gift shop. Whoever is designing their clothes is full of fun ideas. We left with several tshirts and stickers. Bar staff was very knowledgeable. We weren't sure what to order . They had some great suggestions. read more

Went to grab some food before an event upstairs and I'm really bummed about how the quality has dropped. I remember the falafel being really flavorful with a great eggplant spread but this time it just wasn't good. Theme of both the pita and fries was "bland". Almost no seasoning at all on either dish. $6 for shoestring fries from a bag where they didn't even add salt is a tall order. The sandwich was overall dry, there were no real flavors outside of frying oil and lack-luster pita. The falafel themselves were an ok texture but tasted bitter and burnt from too-hot oil. Edit: the manager reached out to get my feedback and let me know that they're running QA on the dishes. They've been super friendly and earnest in caring about quality so I'll have to go back and try again soon. read more

They have a very convenient combination of service model, seating and overall organization. From accessing the menu, to ordering and paying it's all done by scanning a QR code. Fast and convenient. Brisket cheese is a must. 5/5 Lamb shank was flavorful and an excellent option 4/5 But the star of the night was the smoked wagyu brisket with chimichurri 5/5 with no flaws. Coming back whenever I get a chance. read more

It's not the same place anymore. Since they closed and re-opened things have changed. Beer and Pizza are excellent but prices and policies are NOT! #1 reason I will never come back here is the mandatory 20% charge added to your bill REGARDLESS of your level of service! This is simply a tax on the customer to supplement their payroll. They appeal to your sympathies to say this is "for the employees" It's the owners job to make sure they have proper wages, health care etc etc! DO NOT TAX the customer to enable you to put more profit in your pockets OWNERS! Half the reason you had to shut down to begin with is because you didn't want to pay enough to your employees!!! So.. I am done with you. I was a patron of your beer for over 15 years but your politics and greed have ruined it for me. For those that like it enjoy but I REFUSE to be a party to this behavior. read more

My friends and I took the brewery tour and had some drinks at the Surly Brewery last month and it was an awesome experience. The young lady giving the tour was super knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. It was cool walking around the brewery and seeing how their beer was made. The samples at the end of the tour were really good as well. After the tour, we grabbed a table and ordered a couple more drinks as well as the freaking brisket queso, which blew our freaking minds. It was soooo good. Seriously, if you are ever at the brewery, you have to try it. I command you to. This was an awesome experience all around and I can't wait to go back and try some other fresh brews. read more

Such an amazing brewery with an awesome selection of beer brewed right there! They have a great patio outside with some bags games set up and lots of seating. There are quite a few different places to order, so you can typically get a beer pretty quickly. My favorite part is their outdoor concert series. They bring in some great artists and it's so fun to attend an outdoor concert on their field in the summertime! read more

Good food and drink, bad service. We had to wait soooooo long for someone to take our order and then to pay the check.

We stopped in Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Packed upstairs and downstairs with lively chatter and decent music and they also had a few people lining up for tours. I like that the parking lot is spacious and there is a big fire pit out front. I ordered the Pioneer Hitchhiker and it was pretty delicious, the only thing that was kinda confusing was the patio. Which I thought was heated so it would be open mid/late fall, but it was closed during our visit today. Also the THC drinks, which are only sold in a four pack, can't be opened inside because of the law. I would of loved to enjoy it with my pizza, but I'm grateful to enjoy it at home. Other than that we'd stop by again. read more

Another year, another @surlybrewing Darkness Day. A lot goes on during the event from special releases, to vintage pours, to heavy metal music. I had to try this years vintage of Darkness while there, along with a vintage pour of 2008 Darkness. The food this year was great too! Fitting the theme I gnawed on a Turkey Leg. A can't miss event every year for sure. read more

This is such a fun place to be! We were here on a Saturday midday and it was full of people. Open seating outside and hosted seating indoors. We went to the walk up bar outside and the staff were great and helpful with us choosing our drink selections. It was slightly chaotic once we decided to be seated inside with the servers temporarily losing our bill, but we enjoyed our time here nonetheless. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and flavorful and the guacamole was also pretty good. We can't wait to come back and see the live music. read more

Came here to meet a few friends and was very impressed. I got a grapefruit cider (can't remember the name) but it was good! We shared some appetizers and both the guacamole and garlic aioli were really good. Between when we ordered drinks and food, it was a little while before someone came back to take our order but it was really busy, so it wasn't a huge deal. Overall, a cool place and I would love to come back when it is warmer. read more

I have always LOVED surly and my last visit didn't disappoint!! I went for dinner and got their pierogis as my meal and their grapefruit (I think) sour. The pierogis were incredible. Like omg. I've bought homemade pierogis from Polish stores before and these Surly ones heavily reminded me of those. They came with sour cream and a mushroom sauce as well, which were soooooo good. Plus, they were topped with a lemony arugula salad that was so fresh and yummy. I loved that idea and will definitely consider doing that with my pierogis in the future. The sour was, of course, delicious. I never can complain about Surly's sours. They're some of the best! read more

Food has really gone downhill since our last visit. The fish tacos had 4 pinky finger size pieces of breaded fish with about 1/3 cup of slaw total , for 2 tacos. I didn't care for the tortillas. If there was any sauce I didn't notice. The chicken sandwich was tasteless and paper thin. The parodies were very good. The beer is still great read more

We hadn't been to Surly since before the pandemic, largely due to their union busting efforts. It was time to get back on the horse! First off, their outdoor space is incredible. It's spacious, has tons of seating, & is just really nice. The indoor space is also large with plenty of tables, so we had no trouble finding a spot. They also have the QR code ordering system now, which can be annoying for some folks, but I love it. There was also a server who stopped by to check on us fairly regularly, so I'm sure you could also order that way if you needed/wanted to. Our server was also excellent, so that's a huge plus! We ordered a few beers and some food, all of which were really tasty. I will say that their beer menu was lacking; they seemed to be out of everything but their flagships. Anyway, we ordered: --mahi mahi tacos: I was a bit disappointed in the proportion of fish to toppings; that being said, I loved the coleslaw & sauces, so that wasn't the worst thing in the world --Korean fried chicken sandwich: the sauce was zesty and delicious, the bun was fluffy, & the chicken itself was moist with crispy breading --hog frites: I can't lie, the toppings listed gave me pause. Once we tried everything, though, it went together so well! The veggies were especially surprisingly tasty with Surly's classic seasoned fries read more

Surley is one of my favorite breweries and I always try to visit when in the Minneapolis area. This brewery is massive, with plenty of parking and seating both inside and out. They have a large variety of styles, and the staff is willing to offer suggestions if needed. They have food downstairs, but the real winner is the upstairs area, which serves delicious New Haven style pizza.. Visiting Surly is one of my highlights of a Minnesota trip. I just wish they sold their beer in Georgia. read more

Don't let the unwelcoming ID checkers at the entrance push you away. This place is huge and can accommodate your larger friend groups. The brisket cheese dip was very good and I'm not a huge brisket person. The fries were piping hot! My sister and partner enjoyed some brews, while I was happy to see a N.A. option that I could enjoy. We tried the I'm your daddy pizza and it was everything we expected and then some - cooked to perfection. read more

Great pizza and beer! Went here for a Timberwolves game and had a blast - they had it on a large tv outside which was fun. Great ambiance and fun place to go with a larger group of people.

I'm not usually a brewery goer but this place was set as a location to meet up with a group of friends. Thankfully they have a selection of menu items of which are non alcoholic and also a whole food menu on the first level with a pizza menu on the second. There is open seating throughout, mostly with cafeteria style tables both inside and outside. I ordered the Mac and cheese based off the waitress' recommendation and it did not disappoint! Not sure if this description will really make a whole lot of sense for people, but I found the Mac and cheese reminiscent of Boston market but made better and perfected. Our waitress was also very kind and accommodating as our party kind trickled in slowly and she was prompt at getting their orders and serving waters as she noticed their arrival. She even went out of her way to add a dessert item to our check when we asked and this was after she had already closed it out and gave us the bill. read more

Arrived at 6pm on Tuesday and were told they didn't have any tacos available bc they were out of tortillas. We ordered the pork platter and it was terrible. Ribs were hard and seemed like they had been cooked the day before and reheated. Ordered the sausage platter and it was ok. Nothing really interesting- just three sausages with mustard. We've eaten at Surly several times in the past and liked the food but this new menu isn't good. read more

It's a good size brewery with both outdoors and indoors experiences as well as a pizzeria on the upper level. Pretty well designed and good atmosphere. But I'm here for the grub, so the menu is interesting. It's kind of a confused fusion bar grub. The food was lack luster at best. Do I ended up with their version of a Philly cheese steak and it was awful. read more

I came to surly brewing with a couple friends, and there's a few things to note. They only serve beer (no liquor or wine) and pizza is upstairs. The vibe was Midwest punk, and it was cute. The staff was a bit curt/cold-shouldered and I thought they could've been more friendly. However, the pizza was phenomenal! This is some of the best pizza I've ever had. I particularly like the Walter White and the 200 Beats per Minute. The crust was chewy and so good! Now that I've been once and know what to expect, I would certainly come back with a large group of friends, if I wanted to hang out at a brewery. I ordered a lemonade, beer, which was a good choice for someone who prefers wine or liquor. read more

Ok... so my Yelp friends all helped me pop my Surly cherry and we ventured from an event at O'Shaughnessy Distillery. If you didn't know... there is an awesome pathway that connects the 2 and you don't have to move your car! We arrived and had to head over to security to get a hand stamps before we could order beer. The space was open and airy. There was a nice gift shop and an upstairs (I didn't go up there). Once you get a table, you have options to order with the QR code for beers and food or you can order a beer at the side bar. That's where you can also self serve some water for yourself. I am familiar with Surly and want to go to a concert there in the summer! One day! I wasn't sure what sounded good, but we ate next door so I wanted some dessert. I ordered the Raspberry Chocolate Torte Darkness. I wasn't expecting it to have as much sweetness but it was well balanced with the chocolate notes. It was the perfect dessert! We closed down Surly at 9pm and ventured back over to O'Shaughnessy as they closed at 11pm. A few friends got food here and said the pizzas are good. I didn't look at food but would in the future. read more

I booked a reservation for their Christmas pop-up bar, Dorit's Tavern upstairs at the Taproom. There were 8 of us gathering to celebrate. We were told immediately as we sat down that we have to leave within an hour and a half because there's another party booked right after us. OK. As we were trying to chat and catch up, the server was trying to rush us to order, saying that we should get our food in so we have time. We ordered some apps to start. The deviled eggs and the onion dip were really good. The veggies with the dip were crisp and fresh and the eggs had a crispy pepperoni that was actually quite good. We ordered many pizzas for the table. Least favorite being the Walter White A potato pizza that was SUPER bland. To my surprise the Rodeo Clown was my favorite! I'm not a pineapple on my pizza kind of gal, but it was so flavorful. The decor was festive and cute, but basically lights and tinsel and not so much Gremlins. There was one at the entrance. At about an hour 15 we were told our clock was up and time to go! I was excited for this experience and really disappointed leaving. read more
