Meteor

A Spook-tacular experience!! My friend and I were looking for fun Halloween events to attend this October and the Meteor's Black Lagoon Halloween pop-up bar immediately grabbed our attention. The pop up bar consisted of specialty cocktails, spooky decor, and on Thursdays a Boo-lesque show! When we arrived the bar was quite busy but we were lucky enough to snag some bar setting from some nice men who were on their way out. The decor was great, very haunting but nothing too over the top. The bar is small but I believe they managed the space well. Their specialty cocktail list was just right, offer an option or two with each liquor. Pricing was a little bit steep for a dive bar at $16 a drink but I guess they can charge what they want for a pop-up and people will still come! The cocktails were very tasty and well balanced. We did in-fact come on a Thursday for the Boo-lesque show which was very entertaining! All of the performers dressed in costume and danced to music. They were so fun and hilarious to interact with.Overall we had a really good time and would consider coming again in the future!

DELICIOUS! A friend and I went, we tried the Secret Tiger, Xochitl, Raicilla Later, and Cavillo. Everything was delicious and refreshing, and the bartenders were all super fun and incredibly informational about the drinks we had. The music was a little loud for my usual taste but I didn't mind it all that much! The space itself carries sound really strongly, so I think that had more to do with it than the music necessarily being too loud. I would absolutely still return and wouldn't change a thing!

Went to Meteor for the Black Lagoon popup, and had a great time! The theming was great, lots of spooky accoutrements and moody lighting, it was a great spot pre halloween. Drinks were great, an interesting variety of liquors and flavors used. A great spot to go for holiday spirit, I'm excited for their next menu!

Meteor is the perfect dive bar ambiance with super tasty cocktails. Their beer & a bump (boiler) offerings are also really interesting (& a good deal). Although there are tables, you order at the bar & pick up your drinks/food once they're ready. The bartenders were super helpful & attentive, even once the bar got busy for the night. I didn't realize Meteor had vegetarian/vegan options for their hotdogs, so that was a fun surprise!I had:--Meteor Dog (with a Herbivorous Butcher hotdog): Kimchi mayo, crispy onions, green onions; I now believe that every hotdog should have crispy onions. The crunch is a game changer, not to mention the flavors were all so, so good. I don't like kimchi so I was a bit worried about the mayo, but it was just a bit spicy without any of the kimchi funky flavor. --Syncing Ships: This was really well balanced; I was expecting the dill flavor to come through more, but I'm glad it didn't as it would've overwhelmed the drink. --Dirty Mind: A bit less coffee flavor than I was expecting, but I was also just in the mood for a cold brew at that point lol. I'd give this one a 4/5, it was kind of like a less-strong espresso martini with more complex flavor. --Juice Box (boiler): I had never heard of Pasubio before but LOVED it. The cider was fine, light & refreshing without making my teeth feel fuzzy. My friends also ordered Spaghets & the bartenders were happy to make those as well, apparently they used to be on the menu. Overall: cool atmosphere, great bartenders, fantastic hotdogs, prices are reasonable.

Meteor is the place you want to go for an elevated bar experience without it feeling pretentious. I'm not a huge person for the big city bar scene so it's nice that Meteor is located in an unassuming little building out of the crowds and chaos of Downtown or Uptown Minneapolis. Even when it's busy at Meteor it's not uncomfortable or crazy loud. Atmosphere aside, the drinks are amazing. The menus are always so creative and read more like something you'd find at a craft distillery rather than a bar. Meteor uses pretty much any spirit you can think of, including some of the less common ones like mezcal and aquavit, to create unique flavors you're not going to find anywhere else. They also rotate their menu so you're always going to find new drinks to try throughout the year. They also have awesome hot dogs! Meteor is one of my go-to places that never disappoints. I highly recommend making a stop here if you're in Minneapolis!

There's a good reason why Meteor is recognized as one of the, if not the, best bars in Minneapolis/St. Paul. This small, divey feeling space has a fun and welcoming atmosphere to it. A long bar to one side and tables to the other with a pinball machine in the middle. Meteor offers a seasonal menu of hand crafted cocktails made by some amazing people. These drinks feature some of the finest spirits around and creative flavor combinations. They also offer a handful of local Minnesota craft beers if spirits aren't your thing. If you are looking for a snack while enjoying a drink they offer some tasty hot dogs as well. Meteor is a MUST visit in the Twin Cities.

Dive bar vibes with delicious cocktails!The space is small and retro with 80's memorabilia (including a pinball machine) dispersed throughout. You can sit at the bar or booth, and select your drink from a list of rotating cocktails, with low ABV and mocktails also available. Foodwise, they have "elevated" hot dogs if you are willing to spend $6 or $7, but they're pretty good. The staff is also super friendly- you'll just need to order at the bar and bring back to your table. There's lot parking nearby or you can park on the street. It can get busy on the weekend but it's a nice quiet weekday spot!

I'm from out of town (DC) and came to visit with friends who said to check this place out. The location was a bit desolate/industrial. Nothing else nearby for restaurants or bars. The prices for cocktails felt a bit pricey especially since my drink (Secret Tiger) didn't have a rim on it (description said salt & lime chili). You order at the bar - took a long time for the few folks there at 7:00 PM on a Saturday. LGBTQ+ friendly. Outdoor seating in the back. Vibe was hipster.

I was super excited to come here and was a bit let down. Not many seats, and unbalanced drinks. Bartenders were very friendly and it's a cute place but I'm not sure I would come back.

Excellent cocktails in a non-pretentious atmosphere. It was really packed on a Halloween weekend night, which I was told isn't the norm. It was still a fun place nonetheless! Bartenders were experienced and efficient. The Sidecar and Whiskey sours were 10/10. I love that they have plenty of non-alcoholic cocktail options as well.
