Maxwell's is by far my favorite bar in Minneapolis.  Their food is excellent, especially the $3 burrito (wednesday special), all you can eat fish (friday), and the nachos.  The specials are great and the staff is always friendly and very prompt.  It's tough to get a table before/after a Vikings/Twins/Gophers game (especially when the outside is closed), but it's worth the wait.
Pros:  Service, Food, Specials
Cons:  Parking when there is a game at the dome
