Are you sick of the phony waitresses that act extra cheery when all you need is a beer to drown your sorrows. Then Westrum's is the place. People here are real, honest, and true. They'll serve you a drink, but not necessarily a smile. One time, they were out of pitchers, so they just poured us like to 10 beers for the same price. can't argue with that!

The Tailgate sports café is a nice sports bar that is frequented by lots of locals. They have some nice drink specials; happy hour is 3 to 6, Monday through Friday. A small patio in the back is always nice in the summer. Be sure to show up on Tuesday nights for some hot karaoke action!

I love Stella's! She still has the best view of downtown Minneapolis - from her roof-top. We've enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of this newer restaurant in this location. If you are in the mood for fish and eating with your fingers, as well as being in Uptown - stop in at Stella's. Girls - if you dare, peek in the boy's restroom for a view of a quirky piece of artwork!

We ate dinner here last night with mixed results. It was dead to start off with, hardly anyone there, perhaps that should have been a clue? The decor is minimalist and not well-kept.
We were instructed by a sign at the door to seat ourselves.......ooookay. We do and the wait to see exactly how we are to get food out of this restaraunt ensues. After waiting 10+ minutes I get up and wander to the other end of the restaraunt to see if perhaps there is an order window because there are hardly any employees in sight and the ones there are taking no notice of us. Nope, no order places so back to our table I go and we wait about 5-10 more minutes until a very young waiter comes over. He was very nice.
The menus were beat up and sparse. Not much to pick from, some stuff crossed out with a marker, and kind of pricey for the basic of fare they offer. Again we wait for quite a bit for the waiter to return for our orders. In the end, We ordered a burger, chicken sandwhich and chicken kids meal.
Although we were one of very few customers there it took a long time to get our food. We could see the chef area from our table and saw our food get set up in the window when it was done but our waiter was no where to be found for a good 10 minutes while our food sat getting cold. WHERE he was most of this time I do not know since there wasnt many peopleto wait on. Tempting to go up and snatch it ourselves-lol.
The food was better than I expected after the shoddy service. Not remarkable but at least not bad. Bad service just sets you up to not expect much from the food.
All in all, food was okay, service, prices, atmosphere stank.

We discovered this accidentally on one of those rare date nights parents get when their kids are little. We had meant to go to Olive Garden but the wait was REALLY long so we went lookingfor other options and ended up here.
Apparently they are known for their huge beer selection and Pizza. I opted for a Stuffed Turkey Stromboli and it was amazing. Their foodis EXCELLENT! Wethen shared a slice of their famous Cheasecake- HUGE slice and soooooooo good. Best cheesecake I've ever had!
Glad our plans got sidetracked!

Mayslacks Music Lounge is a casual restaurant/bar in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis. This is Polish country! Mayslacks is not fancy. Come as you are here...jeans and tshirts are best. This is your grungy, next door bar that's been around for a long time. Sometimes that's the best kind of place to frequent. They boast about their roast beef sandwich. It is good, but not as big as you might think. Don't get the small size...go for the bigger one. They have live music here many nights, so check them out for a casual evening out.

Go there for the Jucy Lucy's! Two thin patties stuffed with American cheese fried on a never-been-washed flattop grill. Your choice of grilled or raw onions, no other veggies (lettuce tomatoes etc) available. What can be simpler? Wait staff is friendly, but don't forget, you're in a neighborhood bar so don't give 'em any guff and you won't git none. It's hard to get more Minneapolis than this!
Pros: dive bar awesomeness
Cons: gets very busy

Lyon’s atmosphere is very remarkable, especially around the holidays. I would rather sit down for a meal and watch a football game somewhere unique verses an average sports bar (champs). Great night life! I don’t have to wait over 10 minutes just to get a drink and I won’t expect an attitude from the server. Music? What ever you want, just pick up the phone on the dance floor and ask him to play a song. Don’t worry about getting too sweaty dancing just ask the staff to open the five foot window next to the dance floor. Lastly, the tables outside are convenient because it doesn’t look like the smoking ban going anywhere. Over all my experience was one of a kind.

The Lounge located in the warehouse district is a great place to have cocktails and chill. The decor is warm and trendy, and the people are equally decked out. Definitely pull out that new top or those Manolos that you've been saving for a special occasion. The vibe is very laid back and my friends and I love watching all the different people having a good time. We were there on a Thursday and it was a great way to kick off the weekend.
