Lyons Pub

We stopped in this pub after checking into the downtown Embassy Suites. Classic pub vibes! We had a fantastic server and terrific service throughout our experience. We ordered drinks, two appies, then two entrees and more drinks. Everything was delivered quickly and food was hot and very good tasting. Generous portions as well. Being a California girl, this was a great place price wise. We enjoyed it and since it's connected to our hotel, we may return:-)

Came to Lyons pub for dinner as it was directly next to our hotel and we weren't super hungry. It's definitely a fun vibe in this pub and the decorations are pretty neat. We were able to seat ourselves and then a server came over with menus. We ordered the soup and salad and sandwich and soup combos. I ordered the beer cheese soup and a house salad. Sadly I have to say this may be the worse beer cheese soup I have ever had in my life. It was topped off with popcorn which honestly was the only edible part. The beer cheese soup was extremely salted and filled with skin as if it kept being cooked and reheated. It was inedible. My salad was great though. My boyfriend ordered the Rueben and beer cheese soup. He was able to eat a bit of the soup but agreed it was horrible. He ate his entire sandwich as he said it was delicious however it would've been better if they toasted the bread fried. There is even a door that connects directly to our hotel so you don't need to walk outside in the cold which was pretty cool. We would probably come back as the pricing is fair and on the cheaper side and just stick to anything but the soup. Our server was great but she was definitely busy running around. No complaints there as she was efficient and always checking in on us.

2024 Update: Lyons Pub has become one of my favorite bars for downtown happy hour! Great drinks for decent prices. While nearby competitors charge $14-16 for my favorite cocktails, I can find great options here for $8-11 per drink. Service was excellent during yesterday's happy hour. Their outdoor sidewalk patio is perfect for a late summer or fall happy hour, complete with nice views of the Minneapolis IDS building on one side and the Twins stadium on the other. And you can't beat the location!I would still eat dinner elsewhere, but come here for happy hour!

We came here before a Timberwolves playoff game, and were so excited to get a table! The energy in this place was really fun - and a great spot to go for a round of drinks before a game downtown.We mainly came to drink, but ended up getting some food here too.We got the watermelon shots that they had on special - they were delish! It took our server a while to get them to us, but it was a super busy night.We got the following for food:3/5 Chicken caesar wrap - served without any caesar or dressing, so it was dry4/5 Bacon cheeseburger - good classic burger5/5 Fries with ranch - delicious crispy fries with perfect restaurant ranch4/5 Free popcorn! Super salty, but a great add for the table while we drankNothing crazy or super special, but a nice cozy spot with tons of seating for before a game our outing downtown!

We are in town for a volleyball tournament which means everything near our hotel is filled with girls and parents and when we walked into Lyons Pub as a group of 8 we didn't need to wait and were seated right away. That's enough to get 5 stars from me! However, the service and food were just as amazing. With lots of food ordered with modifications made, our server was incredibly patient and everything came out just as requested!I got a burger (hold the bun) with the chili as my side and it was tasty, hot and brought out quickly. We also really loved the laid back atmosphere.

I visited this joint twice in one week it was so good. First visit I had their famous fish & chips. You get two pieces of cod fried crispy with panko crumbs and a ton of fries. Their fish was super crispy and tasted awesome. The second night I went and started with a cup of their chili then had their BBQ pulled pork sandwich with their homemade BBQ sauce and fries. Whoa, for being up north, they have got some slamming good southern tasting BBQ. And the sauce is over the top good. I loved their chili, just too full to have a second cup of it.

Great bar with warm atmosphere. Great bartenders make you feel like a regular when it's your first time there. Food is very good had the Rachel was amazing. 100% better option then across the street.

So this is week 2 of my summer tour and I find myself in Minneapolis, MN. Found a local pub within walkable distance of the hotel. Q, whom has already been photographed (look thru pics) has been very attentive and very kind. He seems busy but has been very in tune to making sure his customers are happy! I ordered the French Dip (forgot to take pic... need to remember this) with a side Caesar. Interesting to note, they include cucumbers in their Caesar and do not include it in the menu. Unfortunately, I am allergic to them and found myself scratching my head asking wtf? Cucumbers in Caesar salads? No thank you. Sent it back but other than that little glitch, food is great! Music has been a mix and upbeat, so definitely could be an even livelier place than it is. I would def revisit and would insist on Q as my bartender!!

First time here visiting for a sports event and staying next door. And, it's raining so came here for a small bite.Self seating in a pretty loud place due to football and hey, it's a pub. Duh!We were waited on pretty quickly after sitting down and had just the right amount of service.Hubby ordered the chicken wrap and I ordered the citrus salad.We didn't have to wait long for our dishes at all. Visually, the dishes are great. Look at the mound of freshly made French fries and the brightness of the salad. Hubby enjoyed his meal and took half of the wrap to-go.My salad was generous although the chicken was about dry. Cooking a thin chicken breast isn't easy. The citrus taste in the dressing really didn't stand out so my suggestion is to add some orange slices although the fresh strawberries were a nice touch. The lettuce was very fresh, candied nuts good and the goat cheese had a nice savory contrast.This place is open late and it really started to hop around 9pm with small groups coming in.The burgers look great and lots of varieties of beers to try. Maybe a flight tasting would be good versus the very full glasses. They are generous!Support this local business.

Showed up on a Thursday evening and found a table outside on the street. Inside they have a decent size bar and plenty of tables around it. It was pretty crowded but there was a private party on the other side. They have plenty of beer options. I had an IPA which was good. The menu has plenty of options. I had the fish and chips which were good but not great. The service was lacking in that it took forever to get another drink and the first drink took awhile to arrive. Had to ask for refills on water multiple times. Overall a nice place to hang out after work and have a beer.
