Venn is a really cute spot, there's plenty of natural light & lots of plants, along with a ton of tables. The bartender was really nice & my coffee came out quickly. I got an iced miel with oat milk & it's super tasty; I like that the 2 sizes have different shots, the small has 2 & the large has 4. My team worked from Venn today &, while there's a large booth with plenty of seating for us, there are virtually no outlets to be found. The internet is fast & the music is great, but be prepared with a full battery (UPDATE: we found outlets under the bar! Now the tables are the only issue, but it's still doable). I will absolutely be back, I love Venn's Zenn THC seltzers & will be stocking up on those as well as some to-go beers :)
Bartender was so nice! I came in at 11:15 am to celebrate a fantastic interview! A lot of breweries aren't open this early on a Tuesday. Not that it's often I will go out to a brewery this early but it was nice to find a place that was open and a place that was on my list to try as well!! It was fairly quiet this morning but as I sat here more people began to come in. They have coffee available as well. Good seating availability at the bar or seating throughout the place. I saw people working on their computers and it was nice and calm if you wanted to work on your computer while hanging out here. I had the Cosmosis Pacific Punch. It is a fruit punch sour. It was really good. Not too sour. And not overwhelmingly fruity. Good price point as well. If you're on the light rail on the way to a Twins game or downtown or maybe to the mall take a stop off at 46th and try this place out! I know I will in the future!
Great variety of beer, cute spot, super friendly staff. Location is a bit sketchy, it's a really nice spot, but it's literally at a train station, and there's definitely some people wandering around the parking lot area that I would not want to hang out near, especially at night (honestly only reason for my 4 star review). I'm from the burbs, don't come at me too hard - I'm just not used to that. If you're into THC seltzers, they have a few different ones and they're pretty tasty as well.
This brewery is in a very attractive space. The whole bar area has plenty of tables and is very comfortable. There is an extra long bar which we thought was neat. Outside they have seating and the day we visited they had a food truck. My husband tried fruited plains: grapefruit wheat and Tropicopia enjoyed both. I had the dark beer which was very good. We did have to park a couple blocks away but it was worth the walk.
Met up with an old coworker at Venn Brewing the other day to catch up. Luckily for us, it was brew day for the Community Hop Farms fresh hop IPA so the brewery smelled great and they offered up some patches & fresh hops to admire. Excited to try the outcome of the hops, as they looked to have some great lupulin and smelled fantastic. Not to mention I tried it in a can a couple weeks later and they did a great job! Vennfest: A Traditional Marzen-Style Oktoberfest that I couldn't resist partaking in. When its Oktoberfest season you have to take advantage of it. A beautiful dark gold color with toasted bread notes and a tasty malt body that just makes you sing Zicke Zacke Zicke Zacke. Belgian Dreamboat: A Belgian White IPA with Orange & Vanilla. I almost didn't order this, but was extremely intrigued. The beer had some black pepper spicy notes that I assume is from the Belgian yeast and sweet notes from the vanilla. The orange interplays with the hops to give a citrus character to the beer. Interesting flavors pop on the palate and interplay in just the right way.
Stopped in for the La Tortilla Catering food truck and was happily surprised by the beer. I tried the Opulessence Orange Smash (Imperial Stout with Chocolate & Orange Zest, 12.0% ABV). It tasted like an explosion of chocolate and orange. Excellent and the service was fantastic. Very fun night. Parking is very difficult here, you may have to walk a few blocks.
Great atmosphere, great selection of beer AND coffee, and great patio. Count me in! We love Venn! We've gotten their beer and tonics to-go several times, but this was our first time enjoying beverages in-house. We came in on a Sunday to meet some friends midday. Parking is kinda tricky as there is only one row dedicated to Venn and the rest is apartment building parking. Luckily, there are neighborhoods nearby to park in, if needed. The space is much bigger than expected and dog-friendly. There is a large indoor seating area as well as a patio that extends on the side and back of the building. When we were there, Venn had a brunch food truck. The staff were kind and helpful as we placed our orders. I treated myself to a latte while my husband tried some beer. We both enjoyed our drinks. We can't wait to come back!
Service friendly and prompt. It's super homebrew scented, so if that bothers you be wary. I didn't have a beer so I cannot speak to that. Did have a coffee and it's ... different. More like a green, unfinished coffee with kind of the flavor of molasses. Not my preferred flavor. It looks cool and like a brewery with a nice atmosphere.
Had a morning coffee stop at this brewery. We came here before we did our bike outing. Order Miel (latte with honey and cinnamon) and Americano. Above avg coffee. This will be our regular stop when biking around Minnehaha falls area.
I don't get here often but when I do it's consistently good beer and friendly staff. I was last in a few weeks ago when they released their collab beer w Community Hops, a Longfellow IPA. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful when I've tried to pick a few beers to have 5 oz pours of. Parking can be a little tricky on a Friday at 5:00 as I found out in June, they have a limited number of parking spaces so....may the odds be in your favor. Cheers!
Had the puppy along for an early afternoon brewery adventure and our paths crossed with Venn! Had driven by multiple times, enjoyed the branding from afar, but never had stopped in. The parking is a bit of a sticky point, as there is only really one row of parking, since it shares a parking lot with a bus stop and an apartment building. We did eventually find a spot and headed inside. The space was open, clean, and had plenty of seating! I'm a huge fan of the logo and branding. Service was quick and friendly! The beer here was top notch! Plenty of diversity, unique flavors, and a willingness to push the boundaries. I'd recommend the Choconut, a play on a peanut butter dark beer, and the Winter Warmer, just enough juniper to warm the soul. We will absolutely be back!
Stopped here with friends after a round of skyline golf at the Walker Art Center. We enjoyed the patio on a beautiful fall afternoon. It was rather busy but we scored an outside table as a family was just leaving. I had the Sweet Stout and it was smooth and tasty. We ate here as well, ordering from the Sizzlin' Wagon food truck. If you want healthy, veggie, low cal meals, this is not a good option but, hey, everyone needs to treat themselves to burgers, fries and cheese curds once in awhile. I chose the pulled pork and cheese curds. Husband had the crispy chicken sandwich and fries. We split the meals and ate everything up. I will definitely have to run a lot more miles to wear that meal off. Nice afternoon with friends. We enjoyed our first ever visit to Venn.
While we were waiting to pick up family from the MSP airport nearby, we decided to check out Venmo Brewing for the first time, and we loved it! There was a deep list of beers to select from, and we really enjoyed the two we tried. The atmosphere and vibe of this place is really great too, but what made it five stars for us was the staff. The two bartenders were super friendly even with us showing up 30 minutes before closing on a Monday. When the awkward moment came for the staff to ask us remaining beer drinkers to leave so they could close up, the bartender did it with jokes and a smile. Overall, a great spot we'll come back to soon! I'm excited to check out their coffee too!

August one spot for a post bike ride beer and when the right food truck is there also excellent for food. I appreciate the variety of beers they have, and that they are made gluten-free for my friends who need it. It was a hot sticky night so I ordered the Cole. It was excellent. Very pleased that the Pizza Bus was there so that I could enjoy wood fired pizza. This is such a friendly laid-back place. I hope it is open for a long time. read more

I went to Venn with a few friends Friday night. The parking is very limited in a lot next to Venn and there's parking in the neighborhood otherwise. Unfortunately, my car got broken in to while parked in the neighborhood. The brewery itself has gluten reduced beers that they have tested a few and they were under 20 ppm. I am celiac and not as sensitive as some are and didn't get sick from the beer! I tried the blueberry lemon sour and strawberry hibiscus sour and they were great! The brewery is dog friendly and we got to see lots of cute dogs. In the summer they have a nice patio as well. I will definitely return. read more

Great selection of beers, flights and outdoor space right off the light rail. Great service! read more
I almost don't want to say anything about the brewery because it's already busy! But there is no denying their great beers, great patio, great dog-friendly indoor space, rotating food trucks, and most importantly their incredible staff! Located right off of the light rail at 46 street station. They also have a small parking lot and plenty of neighborhood street parking. They have Sunday trivia with great prizes. This is just a great gathering place. read more

Back again! Short light rail ride from the airport. Place was bumping some reggaeton music when I got there. Felt like i was in South Padre Island, TX (IYKYK). Lol. Service was great. Place was busy. Food truck was available but I didn't get anything. Beers I had were solid. The Fest, El Diablo, and their stout too. When flying in to MSP, I will be back to try more. Cheers. read more

I like Venn Brewing. The location is great and they have a huge patio. It's right off the light rail so it feels urban even though it's in the South Minneapolis neighborhood. Food trucks are always parked right out front, and oh...they have good beer too. Always been a good mix of sours, ales, stouts and all that good stuff. Any beer lover should have no problem finding something they like. Plus, they're super kid friendly! There are usually some kids around, there are board games and an actual changing table in the family restroom...score! There aren't a ton of breweries in South Mpls compared to other parts of the city so Venn is a nice asset to the area. If you have an option, take the bus or ride the light rail, parking is a little tight and you'll probably have to venture into the nearby neighborhood. read more

Waited 30+ minutes for a TERRIBLE coffee. Burned, highly acidic and under flavored. Threw it out. Tasted like burned smelly feet. Or cigarette butts. Baristas were overtly stoned and (Hillary?)the barista was screaming peoples names so loudly I think I have tinnitus. Overcrowded with pretentious people with babies in Patagonia and 700$ strollers so if Aspen or Denver, CO is your vibe, go here. This place makes outsiders hate the city, overcrowded overpriced shitty product with too many customers surrounded by bullshit industrial design trying to be an upscale NYC loft but really is just abandoned warehouse. Emperor has no cloths vibe. Sorry, Venn. But c'mon. Maybe stick to beer. Also the coffee is the size of my child's fist. read more
Amazing selection of interesting sours! Really enjoyed the large patio which was in the shade! Lots of things to see as you're near a metro stop w/ people getting in & off trains & buses! Some unfortunate soul got taken off the train & put into an ambulance while we were there. read more

Can't say there are many places out there that have coffee AND beer and that are open at very flexible hours. This place screams 'please work from home here' as you can get your coffee in the morning and beer in the afternoon, or beer at 8am if you'd like. We got the ham and gruyere croissant that was pretty tasty, and later on got some beers including the grapefruit radler - which was my personal favorite. Great and casual vibes all around, not to mention that it's dog friendly indoors as well so you can wfh with your pooch in a different view :) read more

Great place with a wide variety of beers. Parking can be a bit of a challenge though as there are few spaces that brewery customers can use. The brewery is next to a transit station and is in the blue line. read more
