I adventured over to the Loop with a group of friends after a Twins baseball game one day. During the day it's a standard sports bar. They have a decent menu. We ordered drinks and a couple pizzas to share for the table. The pizza was okay same with the drinks. Our server was super cool & friendly. A while after my first experience we tried to go back at night when it turns into a more club vibe but the line was so long and hardly moved after waiting 15-20min so we decided to go somewhere else. I recall the inside being kind of small with a big bar in the middle. So I'm sure it was crowded inside and that's not my vibe anymore. It was also a ton of college aged people & I felt a bit too old.

Preview- I am an Iowa Alumni here for football gameday! I love this bar for gameday! Gathers a large, energized crowd. They have specials for Iowa games and wolves games on beer. I will be returning for game days,, something very unique to the Minneapolis area! Can't wait!

Someone mentioned in a casual conversation that this is their favorite place to eat. I've enjoyed their St. Louis Park location and I work nearby, so I made a point to duck in for a late lunch. It was oddly empty, even though there was some bustle at a competing restaurant across the street. I had super friendly service and a really delicious sandwich, a new tri-tip sandwich with a great pepper sauce. Loved that. It looks like they're really going for the sporty crowd, so I suspect this is a very lively spot when there are games to get excited about. They have a brunch menu with some items that I'd be keen to try, so I'll be back here for sure. They appear to have some vegetarian and vegan-friendly options they're proud of as well.

Great food. Bar atmosphere that does open up a little later at night. Security moves out the cocktail chairs and tables. Overall have never been disappointed when going here. Great staff.If you're an Iowa Hawkeyes fan, this is your Iowa bar in the twin cities. Good drink specials during games and you'll have a good time.

The 3 stars is pretty accurate here. It's standard bar food if you're rating it from a restaurant perspective although the one interesting twist I liked was the pizza with actual mac and cheese on top. Who would've thought of this but when you're having drinks, this is the type of food you'd go after. Not bad but more like a place you come to hang with some apps versus having a meal experience.

Pretty empty, for a Friday night, but I know it gets busy later at night when they clear the tables for the dance floor. If you're looking to grab a bite, it's a decent place. Maybe the night life is better. I ordered the French Dip with a side salad. The bread was soft, and not what I have had with previous French dips, so it wasn't what I was expecting. We had a side of garlic fries and they were pretty yummy. Decent food, not too bad prices, but definitely bar food.

Solid spot for drinks and/or bar food! Went here for dinner on a Friday and I had the buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. The wrap and fries were solid. I also had the wikid sparkling THC drink which was the best tasting THC drink I have had. Waitress was super nice and ambiance was great!

Most of the food we tried was good; the standouts are their chicken (both chicken strips and on a sandwich) and the bang bang shrimp. I love that the shrimp is a good size and it is coated in just the right amount of sweet, tangy and spicy. I also like the cabbage it's served on. My kids got the chicken strips with fries and ranch and their dish was probably my favorite! Flavorful crispy fries and the perfect ranch! I also enjoyed how many flatbread options there are, and to make things better the flatbreads are 50% off on Wed nights! I picked the #10 flatbread and it was just ok; I love the caramelized onions and mushrooms but paired with the goat cheese it was all a bit sour, it could use some sweetness, maybe honey. My husband got the Juicy Loopy burger and it was very "blah"; a little too thick, no actual juiciness and lacked flavor.

Average. Not bad, but only average. Went for lunch during a Vikings game and no issue finding a table. Service was the best part of the experience. Had to wait a few minutes to get served but after that very attentive. Inside is nice and bathrooms were clean. A bit stark with plenty of easily viewable TVs for sports viewing which was great. Great tunes played during commercial's. Food was fine. Cheese curds were good. Husband had pepperoni flatbread. It wasn't overly flavorful but nothing wrong with it. Kind of liked the cracker like crust. I had the Cobb salad. Filled with lots of goodies and plentiful on bacon and blue cheese. Would eat there again but won't be in a hurry to get back. Street parking which can be a challenge in the North Loop. Curious to know how the burgers are and if we go back would be what we try.
