Finnegans Brew

Another fun stop with the Pub Pass! Finnegan's is such a classic brew hall right in downtown Minneapolis. They have trivia on Wednesday nights and improve comedy on Tuesdays. Today I got the wild berry blonde, and it was light and refreshing with just a hint of berries. We like to bring board games, but they also have shuffleboard and darts! We're planning on coming back soon for the trivia!

Stopped by here for a quick happy hour. Nice atmosphere and easy to find. Have a good selection of beers. Lots of place to sit and enjoy your beer and conversations in a pleasant atmosphere.Helpful bartenders and good service. Overall a pleasant experience and will be going there again.

What a great brewery! We stopped in after the Home and Garden show last month and had a great time! The variety of beers available was great, my only knock was I would've loved more than one sour! We did a couple drinks and then a flight. Great atmosphere, great decorations, and great philanthropy too! We will for sure be back. We didn't partake in the food next door as they weren't open while we were there but heard great things from others who had tried it.

Great beer, great live music, horrible interaction with bartender. Do not recommend strictly because of how I was treated simply ordering two beers.

Another great brewery in the North Loop!I absolutely love the Little Stout on the Prairie. So creamy and smooth and goes down easy!There's paid street parking and an outdoor patio out back. The woman who helped us was friendly and helpful in her recs. We were hoping to grab a late lunch too but the next door restaurant doesn't open until 4 pm. It's ok, we are fine with just drinking our lunch!

Great music, friendly service, and craft beers & seltzers? What could be better? Throw in some very interesting local made pretzels and a fun taproom, and you get the idea. We stopped in on a very warm afternoon to take a load off and hydrate, and Maggie was on the spot in promptly serving us tasty Blood Orange pils and refreshing fruit punch hard seltzer. And because you need something salty after a long walk through downtown, they had the Firestick cayenne pretzels in four different flavors (we went white cheddar and smoked queso: delicious). When we learned that Finnegans is female owned and an organization dedicated to giving back, our affection for the place grew even more. A very cool company that makes great beer gets our five stars all day long. Best of luck to this amazing company.

Using our pub pass, we headed to Finnegans. I had a Russian Imperial stout. So good. We needed a snack and food is provided by Tavola. There was a Tavola employee going around in Finnegans taking orders. The menu is fairly small but we opted for a pepperoni pizza and it was excellent. The extra bonus is they were doing a special Broadway singing event. Anyone was invited to sing any Broadway song. Whether you had actually sung on stage or not, the audience was welcoming and appreciative. The electric piano player was outstanding. I can't imagine playing for any song someone might request. The singers were amazing. They were animated and exited to perform. What a great idea to bring people that may not have a chance to perform with a pandemic to entertain so many enthusiastic fans. Had so much fun.

Gotta say this place is cool.!!!Dark interior but classy and casual, all the beer's brewed in-house. Great service at the bar too! I came here for happy hour today and the setup is just exquisite. Finished dark all-wood bar tables, super classy.This place also has a gorgeous wide-open patio outside with picnic table seating and also some lawn chair-esque seating. Nice overall outdoor furniture and layout. They also call in a food truck to provide food sales (they only serve beer) which is COOL.! The bar tenders even come out to you in the patio while you lounge around and serve you. Super casual do-your-own-thing kind of place so I was a bit surprised.Definitely a beer hang-out-spot I'll remember to come back to. Oh yea. GREAT HAPPY HOUR PRICES. My 10oz Wit was $4.

Stellar staff! Very friendly for those visiting and the locals. The beer election is just as supreme as the staff. The relaxed vibe coupled with easy-to-listen-to music makes conversation and beverage consumption too easy.

On St. Patrick's Day it was busyDrink the Barrel of Life, you get dizzySaw all that I could seeNice to see that profits go to charityThis review will be pithyIn honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm ditching the haiku and going with a limerick. Elbows to assholes today. The place just opened, but I guess the word is out. Short wait of about 10 minutes to get in. I've had their flagship many times now since they are an offshoot of Summit. Not bad, but nothing special. The non-flagship are better for my money. Had the Cluster Truck and Tipped Cow. Not exactly traditional Irish. Finished with the Biere De Mars. That was the best of the bunch. They have cornhole outback. Also, huge outdoors tent today for the holiday. Did I mention all profits at this place go to charity? Drink more, people are depending on you.
