Brunch menu
J. S.

I hesitate to recommend only because it will make it busier!!!! They do have weekend brunch. I couldn't find an online menu but came on Sunday shortly after 11am Bartender was hustling. Bowling was busier than dining area at first. Took a seat at the bar and got a good basic bloody my wife got a mimosa it was heavy on the oj side. Had the breakfast pizza. Holy sh*#t. Awesome and plenty for two people! Just enough attention, not an over hovering bartender. She was great. Found a weekend breakfast place since BH down the street decided to open at 4pm:( Nice work TH. I'm a fan!!

Food and Fun While visiting my brother in Minneapolis, we happened upon Town Hall Lanes. We planned on bowling then finding a place to eat dinner. We arrived and surprisingly had to walk through a restaurant to get to the lanes. Considering that they were clearly a restaurant too we looked at the menu as we prepped for a late afternoon bowlapalooza. We found several items on the menu that looked good, ordered them then proceeded to bowl. The service was fast and polite, the food was way better than we expected for a bowling alley so we ordered more and nixed dinner plan in favor of a longer bowling outing. The atmosphere is equal parts modern conveniences, elegance and decadence mixed with vintage bowling ally. It's artfully styled. The menu was definitely built on the idea of old bowling alley convenience food but it's curated and elevated both in flavor and appearance to match the exacting standards society has for gastro pubs. We enjoyed our time at Town Hall Lanes if was both fun and sated our dinner cravings. Town Hall Lanes was not crowded, parking was easy and ample. The prices were reasonable and the food was really good. We enjoyed the care that THL gives to every aspect of a customers experience. If you're in the area it's an easy all inclusive night out.

Kitchen open until 11pm cheap and delicious house beers, and cheap bowling too! I've been here thrice now, and ordered food each time and experienced good service. I previously had the sweet corn nachos and also tried the pork nachos. I want this place to do well because it's a great local bar with good atmosphere and personable staff. I may be biased because I'm just a walk away, I don't think I'd drive very far to come here, but I think they're a great spot to take a group of 4 for a trivia night and game of bowling for cheap! Also have to repeat that their house beers are cheap and delicious! Have yet to be disappointed with flavor, and at 5.5-7 a pint I don't think it gets much better priced than that!

Town Hall Lanes is a great place for pizza, beer and bowling, however not so great for the service. But if your a patient person by all means stop in. The pizza was actually pretty good and the have some nice beers on tap. If you're going to do some bowling, find out ahead of time which days of the week are best to avoid the bowling leagues.

Very friendly neighborhood. Loved the service, ambience, and great 70s music. The area is so friendly-Bohemian.

I love this place. The modern/small town bowling alley feel is so cool, it gives you a different experience vs a large arcade place. Bowling is cheap and the pub happened fo have trivia the night we were there. Amazing bar fare and we opted for rootbeer floats that did not disappoint Parking lot is small but free on street parking Very cool part of town and enjoyed this spot. Would recomme

Great spot to have a barrel aged tap beer. Staff is always friendly and patrons are always lending an ear at the bar. Great Neighborhood Spot!

My favorite bowling alley. I've been here probably 20+ times and it is always fun. The best part is bowling in a cool, quaint, vintagey atmosphere instead of one of the mega-lanes. The woodwork is pretty, the bar is a great place to hang if you need to wait for a lane to open, and it's the only bowling alley I've ever seen with a chandelier. I kid you not, check out the pics. No ugly fluorescent lighting here, nope, this place steps it up a notch. I do recommend coming at an off time (weekdays), as there are only 10 lanes. Also, call ahead to make sure there is open bowling instead of leagues. But even on a busy open weekend night like tonight, it's worth the wait. There's a restaurant attached to the bar if you need a burger, flatbread, nachos, curds, or whatever else suits your fancy for good bar food. Or just enjoy a cocktail, wine, or the fairly substantial beer list (local and national beers, and even their own brews!). Did I praise it enough yet? It's always clean, has wooden benches instead of typically bad plastic bowling chairs, the servers check up on your frequently when your glass gets anywhere near empty, and it features 10 high quality, well-maintained bowling lanes, with polished floors. Like, sometimes, almost too well polished, but I'll take slick in comparison to some other junky places that feel dirty everywhere. Overall, a way better bowling experience than most lanes. I'd call it a strike!

The bowling alley is new and modern, as they pretty much gutted the lanes that existed prior to Town Hall moving in.

With bars on every floor and an outdoor patio that feels like half the city decided to pop 'round, it's the kind of place where "just one pint" turns into a full-blown social expedition. For more than 30 years, this downtown British pub has been the city's unofficial living room--on game days, the crowd spills onto the sprawling patio, where sports enthusiasts gather around the giant outdoor screen like moths to a very rowdy flame. This pub has perfected the art of feeding a crowd--especially when it comes to their fan-favourite burgers and dangerously delicious white cheddar mac and cheese. The burgers are bold and satisfying, the mac is creamy and crave-worthy, and every dish arrives courtesy of a team so attentive you'll wonder if they've secretly known you for years. Being at this pub feels like stepping straight into the center of the city's heartbeat. Inside, every cheer, clink, and burst of laughter wraps around you like you've joined a long-running celebration. Cheers!

George & The Dragon is a super cool restaurant that my hubby and I tried for a double date night…read morewith our friends. We came on a Monday night at 6:15pm. This place does get busy so definitely keep that in mind. Luckily I made reservations ahead of time so we had a table waiting for us, otherwise we would have been put on a waiting list since it's a small space. They put us in a corner booth which was nice and spacious enough for 4 people so I'd definitely recommend asking for a booth verse a table if you're planning to come with a larger group. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. I appreciated their attentiveness and sharing what they like best, especially for what's in season based on the time of year. The menu has quite a bit of variety too which is sometimes unexpected when you come to a pub-style location. For appetizers we got Onion Ring and Fried Pickles. They were both really good and served with dipping sauces. Definitely both shareable items so if you're in a group they'd be great options! My entree I chose the Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon served with lemon soy marinade, creamy cucumbers, and jasmine rice -- it was SO good!! I loved the creaminess of the cucumbers especially with the rice and than the lemon soy marinade was just a unique touch to the salmon. Toned the flavors down without overpowering acidity. And the salmon was so dreamy, a beautiful pink color that you just knew it wasn't a farm raised salmon. Plus the portion was very generous!! I'd definitely recommend the Alaskan Sockeye Salmon to anyone interested in visiting here. #eatwildsavewild The only negatives (which are more so just knowledge bombs for you): * Restaurant is VERY loud. It's hard to hear because it is one small room that everyone plus the bar is in. I wished I would have took a picture to show what I mean. Just know that if it's an intimate setting you're looking for this is not the place. So be prepared to talk loudly over the loudness and ask "excuse me?" or "repeat that" many times throughout your visit because you're not going to hear everything. * Timed eating. Because this place is a hit with limited seating, once you get a table and complete your meal/payment you'll kindly be asked to leave so that they can clean up and open the table to next in line. Totally get that and am not put off by this at all, but I could see how it could catch some folks off guard especially if you are out for a meal with folks you may not see frequently-- so just keep that in mind. This is not the place to sit and talk post meal. * Parking is limited. Be prepared to walk a few blocks as the road parking in front of the business is pretty limited especially with the other stores and restaurants in the area. Regardless of those few bullets I highly recommend folks visit George & The Dragon. It's a really cool spot and the food was great! Plus theirs a malt shop right next door that looks yummy too, so definitely worth visiting and getting malts after for dessert.

You also had the choice of a bloody or screwdriver for $3 with breakfast. I had the bloody and the found out that there is a Build Your Own station so I was able to pick what went in it and make it myself which was great! The eggs were pretty bland, but everything came out super fast. The bacon was perfect and the cheesy potatoes were the bomb. We will definitely be coming back again at some point and I'm excited for it!

We had a fantastic Saturday lunch here!…read more First of all, the parking: parallel parking must be done on the surrounding streets. 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.

We came here for a Tuesday during happy hour, and were lucky enough to get a table on the patio…read more Our server, Megan, was super friendly and shared highlights from the menu options and HH drinks. We tried the poutine and a barbecue platter to share. Both were good and I loved the juicy BBQ chicken, but the poutine was notable because there was tons of beef as well as the gravy, cheese curds and all on top of really good fries. 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!
