I've been to the loop during their typical restaurant hours and for food and during their late night hours. From a food perspective, I enjoy it. I am a big fan of the salmon rice bowl. I end up getting it nearly every time I eat here. After the kitchen closes and tables are pushed to the side and a dance floor is made, vibes will vary. I've been to the loop some nights where it seemed like it was just me and the bartenders and I've been there on nights where people are paying the bouncers to jump the line and get in. Music also varies between being stuck on the same playlist or being actually good. I like when the sync up the TVs with the music video of what's being played. At night prepare for the bathrooms to not be cleaned, for the garbage cans to overflow and for at least one of the stalls to run out of toilet paper. read more

The North Loop staple, the very 1st North Loop that's not a dive bar. It was basically the first newer bar. I've been to this place ever since I was 25. I like to get their pizzas or the avocado chicken melt. My coworker loves this place. She always get the pizza here. read more

Deray is the security guard there and made me and my friend feel SO safe. There was a situation where we needed some support as women and he came and made us feel so safe. I can't recommend this place enough as a woman. Another reason i love the loop read more

We hosted a happy hour for our partner for about 70 people who showed up. We arrived a little early and grabbed some dinner before hand so we can make sure we're busy doing business. Cody, Lauren and Aharon were absolutely amazing! Aharon was also keeping tabs on me to make sure I drink enough water while I was working the room! I got the full bride service!!! Shout out to Aharon! You're a star! Lauren apparently makes the cakes for the place and we had an amazing chocolate mousse cake! Cody was very professional and when I lost my copy of receipt he had it texted to me within 5 min from the moment I called. Everyone had a great time, we had so much food left over and Cody promised me they'll give it away to the shelter not too far or some place that helps with that. We didn't want it to go to waste. The place is nice, spacious and clean. We had a great time! Thanks Loop team for making it such an enjoyable experience read more

I adventured over to the Loop with a group of friends after a Twins baseball game one day. During the day it's a standard sports bar. They have a decent menu. We ordered drinks and a couple pizzas to share for the table. The pizza was okay same with the drinks. Our server was super cool & friendly. A while after my first experience we tried to go back at night when it turns into a more club vibe but the line was so long and hardly moved after waiting 15-20min so we decided to go somewhere else. I recall the inside being kind of small with a big bar in the middle. So I'm sure it was crowded inside and that's not my vibe anymore. It was also a ton of college aged people & I felt a bit too old. read more

Someone mentioned in a casual conversation that this is their favorite place to eat. I've enjoyed their St. Louis Park location and I work nearby, so I made a point to duck in for a late lunch. It was oddly empty, even though there was some bustle at a competing restaurant across the street. I had super friendly service and a really delicious sandwich, a new tri-tip sandwich with a great pepper sauce. Loved that. It looks like they're really going for the sporty crowd, so I suspect this is a very lively spot when there are games to get excited about. They have a brunch menu with some items that I'd be keen to try, so I'll be back here for sure. They appear to have some vegetarian and vegan-friendly options they're proud of as well. read more

The beef and broccoli bowl was really good. The owner and all the staff there are very nice!

Pretty good burger. Had the double stack and served me well as a hungry guy. Came with garlic fries type side, and was overall satisfied with what was going on. It was dark at night when we went with candlelight, so know that before you go. Service was pretty quick and did a good job with our table of 7. Definitely good! read more

Pretty empty, for a Friday night, but I know it gets busy later at night when they clear the tables for the dance floor. If you're looking to grab a bite, it's a decent place. Maybe the night life is better. I ordered the French Dip with a side salad. The bread was soft, and not what I have had with previous French dips, so it wasn't what I was expecting. We had a side of garlic fries and they were pretty yummy. Decent food, not too bad prices, but definitely bar food. read more

Most of the food we tried was good; the standouts are their chicken (both chicken strips and on a sandwich) and the bang bang shrimp. I love that the shrimp is a good size and it is coated in just the right amount of sweet, tangy and spicy. I also like the cabbage it's served on. My kids got the chicken strips with fries and ranch and their dish was probably my favorite! Flavorful crispy fries and the perfect ranch! I also enjoyed how many flatbread options there are, and to make things better the flatbreads are 50% off on Wed nights! I picked the #10 flatbread and it was just ok; I love the caramelized onions and mushrooms but paired with the goat cheese it was all a bit sour, it could use some sweetness, maybe honey. My husband got the Juicy Loopy burger and it was very "blah"; a little too thick, no actual juiciness and lacked flavor. read more

Great food. Bar atmosphere that does open up a little later at night. Security moves out the cocktail chairs and tables. Overall have never been disappointed when going here. Great staff. If you're an Iowa Hawkeyes fan, this is your Iowa bar in the twin cities. Good drink specials during games and you'll have a good time. read more

The 3 stars is pretty accurate here. It's standard bar food if you're rating it from a restaurant perspective although the one interesting twist I liked was the pizza with actual mac and cheese on top. Who would've thought of this but when you're having drinks, this is the type of food you'd go after. Not bad but more like a place you come to hang with some apps versus having a meal experience. read more

Average. Not bad, but only average. Went for lunch during a Vikings game and no issue finding a table. Service was the best part of the experience. Had to wait a few minutes to get served but after that very attentive. Inside is nice and bathrooms were clean. A bit stark with plenty of easily viewable TVs for sports viewing which was great. Great tunes played during commercial's. Food was fine. Cheese curds were good. Husband had pepperoni flatbread. It wasn't overly flavorful but nothing wrong with it. Kind of liked the cracker like crust. I had the Cobb salad. Filled with lots of goodies and plentiful on bacon and blue cheese. Would eat there again but won't be in a hurry to get back. Street parking which can be a challenge in the North Loop. Curious to know how the burgers are and if we go back would be what we try. read more

We used our city pass to eat here. We had a reservation but ended up getting there early with tons of tables available. Since it was happy hour, we took advantage of a few bucks off on drinks. I chose soup and salad for my dinner. My soup was chili. It was just ok. It wasn't very hot (temp not spice) which was disappointing. Salad was the Almond Cherry option. It had a good portion of toppings and was good. For soup and salad, I thought the portions of each were ample. I also ordered the roasted cauliflower. It was good. Cauliflower was crunchy and seasoned well. Not served very hot though. Prices seemed rather high for the quality. We eat out to support our local restaurants and we do see prices rising all over but these seemed above 'normal'. Service was good but we were one table of few occupied at that time. Parking was difficult and we found an on street spot a few blocks down. read more

Stopped by here when we were doing a little brewery / bar hop. Didn't get any food but had a drink. Nice and clean place with the cool vibe. Sat at the bar. The bartender was busy but attentive. Definitely a place to hang out and popular with a mix of clientele. Worth checking out. read more

When I walked in it looked very nice, but when we sat down and waited for the waiter she was rude and had an attitude. So we ordered our food, while we waited we looked around it was chill no commotion the atmosphere was chill. When we got our food it looked ok but there was stuff on my sandwich that I said don't put on my sandwich, so i asked the waiter if she could take the stuff off and then she got an attitude so we were like ok we're just gonna leave and find a different place eat. Overall a 3 star, service was horrible, the restaurant looked nice and all but the waiter had me. read more

Deray is the best. He was so respectful and made sure everyone was safe. 10/10 would recommend!!

This place has a super nice clean vibe inside. The food is honestly pretty good as far as bar food goes for not unreasonable prices. I seriously enjoyed my burger and I thought some of the other dishes I tried were not underwhelming! read more

PSA - although their website describes themselves as a full-service restaurant, I guess they are going for the club feel? Stopped by on a week night for a bite to eat but was turned away for being too casual in fitted sweatpants. If there is a strictly enforced dress code, listing that on the website would be helpful for guests to plan a accordingly. read more

Great sports bar, happens to be the hangout for the U of Iowa alum on game day! Hawkeye fans were treated with bar an food specials. Huge menu for a bar, both for food and drinks. Street parking on Washington downtown so be patient. Food was top shelf, drinks were cold and plentiful, and service was elite. Unfortunately the game didn't turn out the way we wanted, but a good time was had by all! read more

Food is great. This place also turns into a dance floor in the night and is a great place to go on a friday or saturday night! I ordered a Thai Cashew Wrap here and it was a really great fusion creation! Prices are a little high here, but that's to be expected in North Loop. It can be pretty crowded from Thursday - Saturday nights so I'd recommend going earlier if possible. Good service. read more

stopped in for a mid-week dinner and it wasn't too busy but it was also kind of cold. Service was good and great to catch up with Jordan (bartender) but the food was average as I ordered my favorite sandwich, the blackened chicken avocado melt. Plenty of cheese but the chicken was actually pretty small and didn't even fit the sandwich and it didn't seem very blackened plus I didn't have many avocados either. I've had better in the past but maybe it was just the cook that night. The side of garlic fries was decent and lots of garlic. Prices seem to have crept up which is the case for most places post-COVID re-opening. Service gets a 4 out of 5 stars, food is more like a 2 1/2 star (only because the quinoa chicken salad was good and large), value is like a 2 out of 5 but you're always entertained at the Loop based on the clientele and numerous TVs to watch a game. read more

We came at 5:30 on a Saturday night, the place was bumping! Very much a lowa bar which made it different. The food was great, we got chicken tenders, pizzas and hamburgers and no complaints. The drinks were good, we did the Hawkeye shot which was tasty and the beers were servers quickly and cold. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun, lively sports bar ambiance. We're from Detroit and thought it was a solid place. Hailey was our server and she was on top of everything and the staff clears the tables quickly which is very much appreciated! read more

We went to the Loop because the other place we went to was absolutely packed. I typically like the food at the Loop but maybe I'm a little bit more picky since I joined Yelp. . My go to is the French dip or fried chicken sandwich. I decided to go with the chicken sandwich. Fried chicken sandwich: I love a fried chicken sandwich that is thick and Crunchy and is coated with herbaceous flavors embedded into the batter. Some of my favorites, have a little saltiness in the batter. Batter flavor: this could use a little bit more flavor, and it is very light on the taste. 2/5 Chicken: is cooked, thorough and nicely. 4/5 Juiciness: a little dry. I think it's because they pounded it down like a pork tenderloin. On the smart side, it is easier to cook evenly, but thicker and plumper pieces of chicken have the brine and flavor spill out once you bite into it. 2/5 Color: had a nice golden brown color. 5/5 Oil: it was not oily. So I think they drained the chicken over a metal rack or paper towels. Good job! 5/5 Overall; if this had a coleslaw bottom or tomato and lettuce, then I would probably give this a higher rating. I think it needed a little seasoning right after it came out of the fryer. Chef Kenji says you season it as soon as you take it out of the fryer. I could tell because it tasted a little flat and one note. 2.5/5 read more

This review is a 3.5 star. The Loop is pretty much a normal bar in most regards, except that during Iowa football games it is the local "Iowa bar." It is packed, loud, and the perfect place to enjoy a Hawkeyes game! There is one standout food item that I would recommend to everyone: the Buffalo Chicken Wontons. They're fantastic! Order them, you won't be disappointed whether you've had a few drinks or are perfectly sober. read more

I got a pizza from here and it was a good price! It was a good portion and lots of flavor. Also, the server was very attentive and good at keeping up with our group's orders. The one thing to know is that It can be very loud which made it hard to talk to some of the people at the opposite end of the table. They have lots of tvs and many people seemed to be there to watch the football game (which is part of why it was so noisy). Fun place and good food! read more

This place has really good servers!!! And my food was both affordable and filling. Try coming for lunch if you're looking for a good deal.

We are out of towners and stopped in for a quick dinner. But we got there right as they were switching into a club vibe. I'm not a big club person but the 2000s music caught me, such a vibe. Drinks wise, we brought a friend that hates the taste of alcohol in her drink and the waitress recommendation made her fall in love with her drink. read more
