LynLake Brewery

A good spot for beers and Yahtzee, I would recommend to anyone looking for a brewery.A highlight was the food - crinkle fries were crisp to-order for everyone in my party. Burgers were a classic smash burger on brioche - not best in the twin cities calibre, but very satisfying. If you like spice, ask for their habanero mayo to dip your fries it. It tastes like it has fresh peppers blended into it! The ambiance is another - the bikes spokes hanging from the ceiling caught my eye and are why I ended up here. These have a story which harkens back many years - involving Greenway bike commuters and a nearby bike shop that had a bunch of old tires...Beers was very solid - I am not buying any growlers or anything, but definitely tasted a good hazy IPA, sour, and a surprisingly bitter amber (I thought that balanced out what is usually malty type beer).Also consider: Bauhaus, Fair State, Modist, Indeed, Utepils (these are the current heavy hitters)

Yeah, I guess it's fineFour stars for the patioAnd three for the beerAfter Lakes & Legends and Sisyphus, this is the next closest brewery to home. Beers are very much middle of the road for me. Seems like they rotate more than L&L or Sisyphus, but nothing like Wooden Ship. The rooftop patio is really nice from late May to early October. The marquee at the entry is usually a hoot. Have to admit I was excited when Oliphant from across the River was about to take over (before the deal fell through). That being said, I'd rather have something here than nothing here. Lot of missing teeth in Uptown right now after The Troubles. Hopefully, the suburbanites will come back to Uptown sometime in the not too distant future.

A+!! If your in the mood for good beer and even better burgers, come on in! Service was quick and all of our orders were correct. I've heard the roof top patio is great as well, can't wait to come back in the summer!!

Came to LynLake Brewery to meet up with some friends, it was my first time here. Cool vibe about the place, I'm told there's a great patio upstairs. I started with the Take 6 With Peach and Smoked Lapsong Souchong Black Tea (IPA), wasn't a huge fan because it was a little too smokey in palette for my liking. I also tried a Belgian Tripel called Triangle Solo that's yeast-forward, with hints of bubble gum and corriander lingering behind a healthy candy sugar backbone, really a fan of this beer and at 8.9% ABV you're bound to have a great time!I ordered the Triple B burger (double patty, shaved fried onions, blue cheese crumbles, bacon bits, house-made balsamic glaze). It was really good but the blue cheese crumbles melted down to nothing, wished there were more of it, but the burger overall was great! Fries were good and crispy, left me satisfied and excited to try other burgers. LynLake Brewery is like a hidden gem for burgers and beers, will definitely be back next time I'm in Uptown!

Love the huge open windows that have bar like seating overlooking the streets, great to people watch and enjoy the fresh air without being outside. Bartender was very patient and friendly with us. Burger was delicious with a bakery fresh bun.

Stopped here for a beer, looking for a rooftop experience. This was a great place for that. With views of the Minneapolis skyline on a beautiful spring night, this was a perfect stop. Beer selection is good and I opted for an IPA. Lots of picnic tables on the rooftop patio and we ended up sharing one with another couple. I love the bicycle tire lights above the inside bar. The front of the bar opens up so even if you are sitting inside, you can still get a taste of outdoors. We found a parking spot right across the street but I think that was lucky. I suspect parking can be a challenge on some nights. Great stop.

The kitchen doesn't wear a hairnet here. I found a hair in my food and let the staff know and immediately got the cold shoulder. I think I was ignored the rest of the night but it was fine as I was done here anyway. They did offer to make my food over again but seeing as the problem wasn't resolved, no hair net, I wasn't going to order anything else. As I was leaving, the staff made remarks towards my complaint so I was glad I was leaving because it was so uncomfortable. Thanks Generic B and staff Sunday night.

We arrived just after trivia night had started on a Tuesday. There were quite a few mostly young people. We sat at the bar and the bartender took care of our drink order right away. I had the house made root beer which was good. My husband had the blueberry muffin top beer which he liked. We ordered food. I got the special of the month which was a grilled chicken sandwich. It wasn't dry and the toppings were very flavorful. My husband got the single burger with cheese and cheese curds. He said the burger was good and the cheese curds were cooked well. It was a friendly, fun place. We didn't get to the rooftop. It has kind of an artsy feel which is perfect for this area and something I personally like.

The newest Packer Bar in Minneapolis!! Yes Please! I had actually never been here before until going for a packer game, but I loved it. Staff were super great, lots of seating option both indoor and outside. Beer is excellent and they have a great variety. They also had deals for game day. There are quite a few TVs so not matter where you are sitting you should be able to catch the game. Another bonus is that LynLake has food! They have your typical bar food - burgers, fries, cheese curds. We tried the nachos and weren't really a fan especially for $15. Cheese curds were ok. Im looking forward to trying some of their other menu items though. I'll definitely be back and I'm super excited for this space to be a packer bar. Also if you are a healthcare worker you get 25% off!!

LynLake Brewery has been around a while and has a large space with passable beers and a vegan Impossible burger. I'm not wowed by it, but it's perfectly fine (hence the 3 star review).On beers, their "Suck Me Sideways" sour was decent, though slightly watery and more like punch than a beer. But at least they have a sour and recently added another I haven't tried yet.For food, I got the "Greenway" burger ($14) which is made with Impossible meat. The bun and burger were both decent, but the "avocado" they put on the burger is more like one of those fake spreads you get in the refrigerated aisle of a grocery store. That nearly ruined the thing.The crinkle fries that come with the burgers are fine. I wish they also had tater tots, though.If LynLake improved their beers and added a few more vegan options (how about a vegan fried chicken sandwich or a vegan cheesecake?) it might warrant another star.
