Parlour

One of my favorite cocktails spots over the years. The entrance reminds me of the show cheers cause you walk down the stairs to get into it from the outside. Inside, super dim lighting, comfy seats and a cool bar. Usually great tunes playing and staff is always friendly and great with recommendations. Love the fries and aoli and their burger is easily one of my favorites in MN. The cocktail list does change pretty often but I always find something I like. Whether I go there for dinner and drinks or for a late night cap, it's always a great experience!

Parlour offers a cozy and intimate setting, making it an excellent choice for a date night. The staff is attentive and friendly, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance is a blend of modern and retro elements, creating a unique dining experience.However, despite the positive environment, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. I started with the popcorn, which featured bacon, togarashi, and pineapple. The combination was unusual and didn't quite work for my palate.For the main course, I had the burger with a side of fries. The burger was good, with flavorful smash patties and melted cheese. However, the bun was slightly over-toasted, making it a bit too crunchy for my liking. The fries were a highlight--hot, crispy, and addictive.I also tried the non-alcoholic Calamansi Tequila Sour. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. I was disappointed to find that it lacked the Calamansi shrub, and instead, the bartender used an orange Ocean Spray, which didn't capture the unique flavor I was hoping for.Overall, while Parlour excels in ambiance and service, the food and drinks didn't quite match the hype. I might consider giving it another try in the future, perhaps exploring different menu items.

Came in for a drink but decided to try their famous burger. My party got the old fashion and seemed to enjoy their drink (I don't drink).You seat yourself and unfortunately the music was blasting in the area we were sitting at. Asked if it could be turned down but was told no they couldn't. Service was great though, she kept checking on us and never rushed.Finally the famous burger....well let's just say I won't go back for seconds. The burger and bread were super greasy on the bottom. It did not sit well in my stomach after we left.

To be so bold to have a handful of things on your menu in a North Loop location, you must be doing something very special! And boy do they have something great going on!! You go to Parlour for their burgers and fries... nothing else, very simple proposition. If you have ever watched How I Met Your Mother, and remember the episode were Marshall is looking for the best burger in NYC and feels so deeply for his memory of this magical burger, this is exactly how you will feel after eating this burger. Simple, unassuming, and packing a ton of flavor! Located in a basement with minimal (if any) indication of its existence, it gives you a speakeasy feeling that adds to the mysticism surrounding their offerings. Please give yourself time as it tends to be quite busy, but stick around and brave the wait for a wonderful meal accompanied by crafty drinks! By the way, another unexpected twist, their popcorn is incredible.

One of the best burgers ive ever had and one of the best meals in Minneapolis. Little tricky to find the location but its in the basement. Bar options are plentiful. But just get the damn burger and you'll be happy. I also got fries cause thats what you do. Cute spot with excellent service. The burger came out pretty fast and dammit was sooooo fucking good. Best burger in Minneapolis better then any juicy lucy. The meat is crispy and juicy and seasoned perfectly a hint of salt which pairs perfect with the melted gooey cheese and the egg bun is perfectly buttered and toasted and soft. Its soo good. Made me so happy and I will definitely come back next time i'm in town.

Finally got to try the famous parlour burger and it did not disappoint!! Do not skip the fries with the dipping sauce- it's like crack!!! Addicting AND the atmosphere of the Mpls location is so cool and funOur server was a hoot and the drinks are perfection Would def come back and try more menu items!

Let me just say this...They got the best burgers in Minnesota. Hands down. Nothing else even come close.If you haven't, make sure to try them.

Stopped for a few drinks and share a burger. Our bartender was extremely nice. The burger was very good but maybe a tad pricey $18. I did love the maillard on the smash patties and that the burger was no frills. I started with an old fashioned which I noticed was pre made and it tasted that way. Still can't figure out why it was. I switched to the Loop Sour and that was amazing. Don't think I'd ever had a sour with Fernet but it really worked. I would come back here.

My husband insisted that I go to Parlour and I am not mad about it. He claimed it was the best burger in the cities. I'm not gonna lie. It's a pretty darn good burger. It's kind of like a Culver's Butterburger on steroids -- delicious, crispy, greasy and gooey. We got the garlic dill aoli, which I could take a bath in. I tried the beet cocktail and really enjoyed it. It's a speakeasy that serves a smashingly good cheeseburger. Good stop for before or after something and a really nice relaxed meal. Our server was great and highly attentive, with good menu knowledge. Highly recommend.

Came for the famous burger and it did not disappoint. Nice crusty bits of beef with melty cheese. Juicy and delicious. Didn't give it a full 5 stars because of the limited menu and our server wasn't very friendly. Go for the burger and cocktails but don't expect much more.
