Coworker friend and I had Saturday night drinks and dinner here before a show next door. Street parking is tough when it's busy, but we luckily found a spot in the lot across the street. We were greeted by the hostess and got our names on the list. Had a short 10 minute wait next to the bartop. Just enough time to get a drink placed with the bartender and a sip or two down before a table was available. There were so many good things on the menu, and reviews here on Yelp. I decided on the Burger of the Moment: the Juicy Lucy. Omgosh... Top 5 hamburger I've ever had. The cheese was melted perfectly. My mouth did not get 3rd degree burns. And the bun was toasted yet soft on the outside. Fries were perfect too. Friend is a light eater and requested a kids hamburger (smaller patty). She says it was tasty but was disappointed it didn't come with a fixing (lettuce, tomato). An accidental assumption, misunderstanding. Waittress was friendly and quick with food delivery and bill. Private one room bathroom. Clean and stocked. Great ambiance in both bar area and dining room. read more

Town Hall Tap was fine. They have some of the best cheese curds I've ever had - they melt in your mouth. Unfortunately, that was the only good thing. The Eggplant Panini was bad, which was frustrating because it was also overpriced. It was dry and tasted burnt, and was a thin slice of eggplant on thick, dry ciabatta. Most of their menu is fairly overpriced (~$18) for being bar food. Our server wasn't very attentive, but I'm not sure if that was their fault. We were seated at roughly the same time as another large party. I might go back for the cheese curds, but otherwise there are way better pubs in the city with better food, service, and prices. My partner enjoyed their overpriced burger. read more

This was a first time visit for a buddy and me when we stopped in for a Monday lunch on a very cold (big surprise!) February afternoon. The place was virtually empty, which was a bit of a concern, but our server's (Nel?) arrival quickly put us at ease. The menu was offers plenty of options for guests and we went with the Walleye Tacos and Ragamuffin Chicken Sandwich. I went with the sandwich after our server assured me the breading was applied in the Town Hall Tap kitchen. I'm glad she did. Our food arrived promptly, looking good (sorry, I didn't get a photo) and at good temperatures. Nel stopped back regularly to check on us and engage in friendly, pleasant conversation about the history of the restaurant and other nearby businesses. It was a pleasure to find and enjoy Town Hall Tap. We'll be back and hope to see other Yelpers during future visits. read more

Good late night burger in south central mnpls, food was great no wait, great atmosphere

Excellent food, excellent service! First time visiting from out of town and we really enjoyed our experience.

I visited Town Hall Tap on a Friday evening with 3 other people. As far as I could tell there was only street parking which is fine. We got a table easily which I always love! I got the orange blossom cocktail and I highly recommend this drink if you enjoy fruity cocktails! I ordered the Mediterranean gyro and it was the most disappointing gyro. The meat was not cut like gyro meat and it was incredibly dry. There was maybe one slice of tomato on the gyro. I also asked for no onions and still ended up with onions on my gyro, not the best. Two of my friends ordered the Burger of the Moment. This burger was a "surf and turf" style burger. As it was a spontaneous choice to choose the Burger of the Month, it just wasn't a great burger. The patty was overdone and dry. The shrimp with the Cajun flavor did not work well with the burger. However, it is important to keep in mind that this was the Burger of the Moment so hopefully it will not be on the menu for long. My friend who ordered a salad, enjoyed the dish but it is difficult to mess up a salad. I gave this restaurant 3 stars because our waiter was very nice and attentive & the atmosphere was enjoyable. However, at the end of the day I will not be coming back to this restaurant. I came to this restaurant to enjoy a tasty meal with friends and I was beyond disappointed with the food. read more

Stopped in for a beer after having dinner at nearby Heathers. Long selection of craft beers. Good service. A large number of people enjoying themselves on the outdoor tables. I will be back to check out the food. read more

Thank you for the personalized service. We were heading to another restaurant up the street and were not happy with the vibe. We decided to try Town Hall and are pleased with our experience. ROBBIE was an excellent server. He was attentive and kind. This was just what we needed after leaving the other place hungry and disappointed. It wasn't easy finding a parking spot and we really didn't want to drive around looking for another place to eat. The food was great. Check was presented in a timely manner. Thanks for saving a night that could have been a disaster. read more

All the food here is amazing. 10/10 recommend the fried pickles and the wings. Friendly staff and great drinks at a reasonable price. If you come in the summer they have lots out outside seating in the front and back of the restaurant. Bathrooms and clean and well maintained. Over a great place to stop in for a bite. Or even some drinks and appetizers. I would give 6 stars if I could. read more

Just went here for the first time and there was no parking lot however the street parking was easy to find. I really loved the chicken tenders and fries. My friends and I also split the cheese curds and fried pickles and they were good too, however I personally prefer my fried pickles without cream cheese. Our server was very nice and attentive as well. Will be back soon. read more

Not a brewery, but a great craft beer house (with a couple of dozen offerings) serving elevated pub grub too. Their version of (house-made) tater tots is sublime. Burgers are aces. Friendly, knowledgeable servers. Terrific neighborhood. Perfect place to drop in before/after a Parkway Theater entertainment! read more

Just decided to give it a try since we needed to kill some time and so glad we did. WOW! The service is excellent, super friendly and had zero problems getting samples of beer since we didn't know what we wanted. The food was amazing and so fresh. We got one of thier burgers and it was one of the juiciest burgers I've had in a long time. The ambience is super cute and reminds me of Wi. :) I wish we lived closer so we could come here more, as I feel we could easily become a regular here. But we will for sure be back! Oh and the brunch on weekends has $2.75 Mimosas till 11, how can you go wrong. read more

The host was very kind and pleasant to talk to. They really made sure we would get a table as soon as possible. The vibe of the entire place is so comforting. It just feels so good to be here. I got the Boom Burger. 8.4/10. I could taste every ingredient separately and as one. I also ordered the fried pickles with cream cheese. WHAT A COMBO! 8.1/10. Tasted like something you would get at the state fair. read more

I found Town Hall Tap on Yelp and wanted to give it a try. Not only do they serve their own beer, but they also have a full bar and I get to drink wine while my BF drinks his beer. The restaurant has a really cozy feel which must be nice during one of those long Minnesota winters. It's a little on the dark side but I did not mind. We were seated right away in a booth and the server was with us right away. We ordered our drinks and we each ordered food. I went light with a house salad and grilled chicken; the BF went with the pulled pork and instead of fries, he ordered the soup of the day. I really liked the salad and for a measly $3, I got a HUGE piece of chicken on top of my salad. The vinaigrette was housemade and well seasoned. The pulled pork sandwich? Well, I think he ate it in about four bites and said it was absolutely delicious. I tried his soup and neither of us was that gung-ho on it. It was chicken with vegetables, kale and couscous. Sounded delicious. Was very bland and he did not finish it. I would definitely go back to the restaurant. As we were waiting for the bill, I saw a server walk by us with an order of the cheese curds. OMG they looked so good. Maybe that will be the appetizer we start with next time. read more

I had dry rub chicken wings last night. I couldn't eat more than three. They were so salty! I was up must of the night with painful indigestion. Dealing with diarrhea this morning. read more

Went to Town Hall Tap on a Sunday evening. We were seated immediately and our service was good. Here is a breakdown of what I tried: - Fried pickles: 10/10 best fried pickles I've ever had. Love the cream cheese in them and lingonberry sauce for dipping - Cheese curds: 3/10 they were almost cold and tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. A few were still doughy. - Sweet corn nachos: 7/10 the queso was good - overall a solid dish - Tenderloin bites: 5/10 the meat was cold and dry, I liked the dipping sauce. read more

It was Fourth of July and my wife and I finished the town parade and there was hardly anything open on the Holiday. I have been wanting to try Town Hall Tap for a long time, they have been open since 2010, so 7 years. The garage doors were open on a perfect day, we sat right by the open doors. Amazing. I ordered an Indeed Peach IPA and the Cubano. Our server was super nice and checked on us often, but not annoyingly so. They were pretty busy, so it was a small wait for the food, so i ordered their flagship beer, Masala Mama IPA. The Cubano was a ton of juicy pork with the perfect amount of cheese on a lovely Ciabatta roll. So tasty! I subbed the side salad for fries for $1, SO worth it, you definitely get a solid salad with your meal. Not just crummy iceberg. It also comes with some awesome cheesy dipping sauce, which is wonderful. The deco is full of old beer signs and overall very cool. Highly recommended place. read more

Townhall tap is at offshoot of Minneapolis town hall brewery. For the last few years, I found that it is fastly superior. The food is pretty much the same, and the beer selection is much better, because their guest beers are very well selected. On this visit, I was especially impressed by the waiter Robbie. He was in constant motion, moving really fast, but didn't skip a beat in the service he provided. The booth next to me had two groups were chatty and the time I was there. Robbie gave them what they wanted and recognized that I wanted to work in my computer. Although we didn't communicate much he was always there when I wanted something because he was keeping his eye on me and everybody else. Simply couldn't be better. read more

Way over priced for the food. Small plates. Everything was Spicey. Our waitress wasn't friendly since we came in with kids.

Casual little spot for late night bites and beer. My date and I stopped in after an after an evening airport pickup to grab a quick pint, dinner, and catch up from his latest trip. I like the neighborhoody feel of this place. No particular bells and whistles, but quaint and perfect for conversation. Another table was enthusiastically cheering on the bowling tournament televised in the corner. Gotta love it, dude. Service was prompt, beer was tasty, and our meals were a solid step up from typical bar food. My only complaint for my grilled cheese with fries is that it could have used a bit more melty cheese for the large quantity of bread. That aside, I'll still be back. read more

So... it's that time of year again... and I'm on... {gulp}... a diet! But I really wanted to go out to eat. I asked the BF if he'd be down for Town Hall and he said of course - he loves their menu variety - and I do too. The last time we visited it was Summer. (Remember those days???) And the cool thing about Town Hall is they have these garage doors in the front that that open to their patio seating. We could bring the dog, relax, have a few drinks and enjoy the sunshine. This time we visited during the polar vortex. And it was still nice. :) Garage doors closed, heat on. Even though this wasn't my first time visiting, this was my first time counting calories. And I was pleasantly surprised with my options! (BTW the calories aren't listed on the menu, so you have to know your nutrition.) One of my favorites - you can sub fries for a salad OR asparagus for a few bucks more! Anyway, I ordered the Black Bean Burger, the BF got the Northern Cubano. I loved mine - inhaled it in record time. The BF liked his... Cubanos are his favorite, so he fancies himself as a connoisseur. He spent a few minutes telling me about the amazing Cubanos he could get back in Ohio (???) but ended the story with, "I mean, this was good...." 4 stars for the fact Town Hall doesn't have a full bar liquor license. (Though, personally, I don't care - they have Pinot Grigio. I will be back for a glass or 3 come summer!) And I will say, my feet were pretty cold. They are definitely trying to keep the place warm during this cold snap - it's nature's fault, not theirs. But still, I wasn't 100% comfortable. BUT - you should go anyway! They have yummy guacamole! They have Naan Tacos! (What?!?!) And they have fried pickles! (Obviously, this is why I'm counting calories these days...) But I also learned they have lots of healthy-ish choices too! And a great beer selection. Try it - you'll like it! read more

Very reasonable prices and good food! I had the BLT. It was quick, simple, inexpensive, delicious, and with great service!

What a cool little place with sidewalk seating, friendly staff, and from what I experienced excellent beer. I ordered the cask Oktoberfest. I was really shocked when it came out with a thick creamy nitro looking head. Most cask beers I have had are very low carb. This thing was incredible. I could have stayed all night sucking that beer down. Man it was good. I didn't eat but I saw several plates come out to others and the food looked really good. Overall this was a great experience. read more

Extremely busy on a Friday bought. Lots of families here, friend groups, and couples. I highly recommend their chicken curry naan tacos. It's just freaking delicious and amazing mix of textures. Be careful though, it can be spicy with all the jalapenos. Their sides weren't that great though. Namely the chips and fries. Beer selection was great. Service was fast and efficient. read more

Very glad to have this place in the neighborhood. It's not reinventing the wheel in terms of the menu, but it's a more-than-serviceable pub. Food I have tried has been pretty solid - burgers are juicy and flavorful, fried chicken sandwich very good (and large!), cheese curds good but wish they came with ranch instead of marinara. Fries are kind of a letdown; and if you order a salad, I would steer clear of the homemade Hope & King maple vin- it's too sweet, basically maple syrup. Prices are a tad high for pub food but not surprising given the area. Burger and a beer plus tip will run you about $20. Beer/wine only - kind of odd but I'm sure tied to their taproom license. Still, a Bloody Mary would taste so good with their Brewe:burger! read more

I'm all about this place. Food is decent and the beer selection is outstanding. The thing about this place that I really appreciate is what JP and Todd offer up behind the bar. They really know their beer and will offer up a sample that's in the flavor you enjoy (everything from IPA's, sours, ales, and ciders) if you are having a hard time deciding what to swill. When beers are going for $5+ a pop, you want to enjoy whatever it is you are getting and sending back a full beer, well, screw you for being that wasteful person. A lot of their beers are rotating so anytime you go in there, there will be something new. For example on Saturday night I had Founders Rubeus on nitro. I'm a huge raspberry beer guy and this was sooooo smooth and yummy. I'm usually an appetizer guy when I go to this place but last time I had the walleye tacos. Excellent taco's and the pico de gallo that comes with it is tasty. Also love the little Hot Wheels people slide up and down the bar when they are bored. read more

Pretty good overall experience. The cheese curds were amazing. Boom burger sub fried chicken was excellent. The restaurant smelled very strongly of fish, though, and it was really hot because everything was open. Beer was great. Wish they'd had bottles of the quad or scotch ale to take home. read more

Neighborhood gem alert! Classic pub featuring your favorite bar food, beers, and wine. Super cozy spot featuring dark wood paneling and dim lighting. It is lively and gets pretty busy, so make a reservation if you're coming at prime dinner time and want to be seated immediately. We ordered the burger and it was juicy and flavorful, along with the ahi tuna salad, which pleasantly surprised us! Left happy, though I felt the prices were a little steep for the quality and location. read more

The the opening of the Town Hall Tap has been long awaited for the South Minneapolis folk, itching for some decent beer. Well, itch no more, The Tap is open and everything you hoped it would be! The dining area is gorgeous! Mostly made of wood and covered in vintage beer parifinalia, you have your choice between tables or booths which all (or most) look to be antique, refurbished furniture. Complete with wood floors, you almost get a cabinesque-dive bar-old Euro feel to the restaurant. The bar itself was also refurbished (1890's, Ireland) and very fitting for the environment! The beer list gives you more options than you need! (Never a problem.) They have a good selection of beer from within and outside the U. S. They are also carrying some original, hand-crafted beers from Town Hall Brewery. The house Java Porter for you coffee/dark beer lovers wraps all of your vices into one drink, supported by Sovereign Grounds coffee. If you like hoppy beers, try the Marmalade Sky-citrusy and refreshing. The food was great! The fried pickles appetizer comes in a close second to the brie bites-my favorite. I also had a Heidleburger that won't keep your arteries clean, but sure tastes delicious! Word has it you should also try the fried chicken sandwich, the homemade Reuben, or get the beer cheese soup in a bread bowl from Turtle Bread Co. Service was good! Since it is new, they are still working out some kinks. However, the service staff was very pleasant and efficient, and the manager came around to check on our experience. The bathrooms are clean, but single only, so plan accordingly-there are always lines. This is a must try for South Minneapolis folk. Quality beer and bar food! Good Atmosphere! I'm not really sure what else you would want? read more

THFY! Thank God For Yelp!!! When searching for a place today I read the reviews for Town Hall Brews and was intrigued and decided to bring my family here as our first stop on our mini trip to Minneapolis. We were not disappointed. We were able to drive into a cute neighborhood. The ambiance here was perfect. Gave the feel of a home off. The menu selection was great. I strongly recommend everyone try the beer cheese soup. It tastier the. Anything we've had before plus served with popcorn. We also chose food from their brunch menu. Everything from the names to the ingredients to the taste was fantastic. Beer ... WOW!!! Loved everything i sampled. If they have the sun honey its a must. Im a porter girl but couldn't get enough of this light and crisp beer. The service was quick and friendly! read more

This is one of the better tap rooms in the Twin Cities. Not a Brew Pub, but they brew 4-6 types of their own beer, very good Masala Mama IPA, porter, and a really good Pale Ale. Not a tavern even though they have a good rotating variety of taps and bottles from "guest" breweries. The guacamole was pretty tasty, and they have garage doors that open up the space in nice weather. They also have a nice outdoor sitting area. Definitely worth a try as you work your way through the gastro/brew pubs in the city! read more
