Ok, last brewery for me today. This makes my 282nd!! No, not today of course, that is my total…read more Under Pressure was pretty close to my hotel as I was headed back so I had to stop. It's quite the different vibe from the previous brewery I was at today. UP had a taco truck out front and since I hadn't eaten in over 12 hours, and I love tacos, I picked up a couple. Fabulous tacos but I can't recall the name of the truck. Actually in posting my photos I see I got the name of the truck in a photo, Tacopolis! UP is kind of dark and quiet. I felt like I was in the library in Dracula's castle or something. It's cool but has a very different vibe than most breweries. I like it! I got a flight of four and then added a fifth because, well, me. And because UP has 27 beers on tap! I started with Lick It Up peaches and cream ale which had a nice peach flavor. Next was, well, I kinda forgot. I was sitting at the bar tasting beers and working on this review when a friendly gent started talking to me. So instead of doing the review we talked beers with the bartender. I'll just say EVERYTHING I tried here was really good. A few highlights were the Irish red (SWPFTD would approve), the blueberry cream stout, the chocolate cream stout, and the rauchbier. Under Pressure is brewing up some excellent beers. If you don't stop in and try them, well, you're wrong. Enough said... If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

I came here with a group of friends for an evening hang out. We didn't know what to expect coming…read morein here and probably left a bit more confused. Walking into the brew hall, we were immersed in medieval scenery with knight armor and weaponry positioned throughout brew hall. There was a really cool library with a wide assortment of books and some board games people could interact with. The vibes inside were very chill which was a huge plus. In terms of drinks, we were overwhelmed with how many options we could choose from and with how unique all of the flavors were. I decided to go with an 8 flight of beers as I couldn't narrow down a particular drink that caught my attention and thank goodness I went with that route. Out of the 8 beers I selected, I only truly liked 3 of the drinks. Some of the flavors I felt from the drinks that I didn't like reminded me of dish soap, sardines, and burnt wood (just to name a few). In terms of food, they had a food truck on site which had pretty good food and the overall staff were very nice. It's one of those places where I'm happy I came to experience the place, but isn't a top priority for me to make another visit.

The fries and fried pickles were a great side and the brats were cooked to perfection. Great casual place for dinner or lunch, lots of beer options and overall a fun atmosphere with friendly staff. Would highly recommend!

It is close to work Beer selection is OK…read moreWant more food options New Bo has a slowly rotating beer menu. Does not rotate nearly as fast as two other nearby bar and restaurants that I can think of. If you wait a couple weeks between visits, you can usually find something you haven't had before. They have something going on most nights whether it be trivia or Initials Game. The food menu is pretty limited. Brats take up most of it. Lots of choices with your brat meat and toppings. Wish they had some choices on the bun. They all come on a pretzel bun which is underwhelming for me. Would be nice if they had a basic bun or butter bun or some other kinds of bun. Give me some more food options and a beer menu that rotates more, this would be a four star. Will continue to return, though, regardless.

I will say, that I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Being from CA and seeing videos of Mexican food in MN, I was preparing for the worst, but it was far from.

I found Fuego Mexican Restaurant doing a Yelp search. The reviews were good so I decided to give…read moreit a try. This restaurant is relatively new and it's located in the shopping center, off of highway 55 (near the Cub) in Plymouth. I was impressed at how clean and attractive it was. We were there early for dinner and the place was almost empty. The menu has the usual Mexican dishes, so we ordered our go-to's so that we could compare them with other local Mexican restaurants we've been to. I have to say we were impressed. Another test for me is the quality of the pico de gallo salsa that comes with the chips. The salsa was clearly superior to most of the restaurants I've been to. The chips were excellent too. My wife had the street tacos which come with a choice of: Steak, Grilled chicken, chorizo (spicy pork sausage), Shredded pork (carnitas), Ground beef, Pastor, Shredded beef, Shredded chicken, Birria, and Nopales (mexican cactus)/queso fresco. She declared hers to the excellent. I had the chicken fajitas and they were prepared very well prepared and came out sizzling hot. I was impressed. The service was very attentive and they refilled my pop and the salsa, without having to be asked. Next time, I will branch out a bit and try one of their many other dishes.

Service was…read morephenomenal-- our waitress checked in regularly and updated us when items were delayed (ie the keg needed to be changed out). The environment was clean and inviting. Highly encouraged to try the cheese curds and they were OUTSTANDING! Loved the cheesy gooeyness inside and the fried batter was crunchy and amazing! Highly recommend! The burger also tasted great -- mix of sweet, salty, savory. The bacon is great! Onions are great! Well done! And those truffle fries are binge-worthy! Did not leave any behind! The wings were seasoned and cooked well. Very juicy! The habanero dry rub wasn't as spicy as I anticipated, which made eating them extremely enjoyable! I like the kick of the spice but not overpowering. Well done! Will definitely tell my friends and be back!

I went to Northern Taphouse with a friend and my youngest son during Viking Sunday. We called ahead…read moreof time to put our name on the waitlist, but when we got there it was packed. Fortunately for us, MN decided to have a 90-degree day in October, so we were able to sit outside. The outside patio was nice, but the vibe was definitely a lot calmer than inside (if you want the full game-day experience you should try to sit inside). I ordered the Bloody Mary of the month, "Road Trip," my son had the kids' pancakes with bacon, and my friend ordered a salad. The Bloody Mary of the month was definitely a site to see, it had a slice of pizza (not my favorite but my son enjoyed it), a Philly cheesesteak burger (it was decent), friend shrimp (perfectly breaded and delicious), some type of bbq'd pork (we were all unable to eat it as it was so tough), a chicken tender the size of my hand (my son and friend devoured it), cheese curds (they weren't like the ones you can get at the state fair as they were a yellow cheese and didn't have much flavor, but when you dipped them in the sauce that was attached to the cup they were pretty good), and crab cakes (we thought they were okay). The Bloody Mary of the month had enough food on it that I didn't need to order anything else. The vibe is really lively and fun on a football Sunday. When the Vikings score they hand out free grape ape shots. I would definitely recommend spending your football Sunday here.

Both were wonderfully flavorful! My mom tried the grilled salmon with rice and asparagus, which I frankly didn't bother to try because I knew it wouldn't compare to the other two plates. The Brussels sprouts as an appetizer was decent, but had too much balsamic glaze, my table agreed. Our server was a bit hard to talk to, but still attentive and helpful. The patio was incredible, though. Especially as it got darker out, the string lights made a very enchanting vibe- minus all the bugs biting your ankles. I would plan to return, but be prepared for a heftier bill!

We can't say enough good things about Brew Park…read more Harry is our little Yorkie, and like many dog parents, we were nervous about finding the right place for him. From our very first visit, Dana took the time to answer every question, introduce us to the process, and make us feel completely comfortable. That first impression meant everything, and it's only gotten better from there. One of the things we love most is the concept itself. The dogs can play for as long as they want throughout the day while you relax in the restaurant, have lunch, grab a drink, or even get some work done. It's such a fun, unique environment, and we were pleasantly surprised by how affordable it is. Harry has gained so much confidence there. Watching him make friends and actually enjoy playing with other dogs has been amazing. We also recently boarded him for five days while we were out of town. Leaving your dog behind is never easy, but Brew Park made it so much easier. Every day we received a report card and photos, and seeing Harry happy, playing, and having fun gave us so much peace of mind. The entire staff genuinely knows and cares about the dogs. You never feel like your pet is "just another dog." Finding people you trust with your furry family member is priceless, and that's exactly what we've found at Brew Park. Harry gets excited every time we pull into the parking lot, and I think that says it all. We couldn't recommend Brew Park more highly.

We also split a charcuterie board, which had the perfect variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, and accompaniments to pair with the wines.

Enjoyed the wine flight options and the tasting experience and info about wine. Feels clean, bright, and new, and the bathroom is nice. There's a room in back they activate for events. There was a small vendor sale in there. They also have cute merch, jewelry, and goods for sale. They're on the higher price end. They offer free coffee from the Nespresso machine which is a nice touch. They have their own wine shop next door that is kind of expensive. Buying a bottle in the winery and corking it to go is a more affordable option if you plan to drink it right away.
