The Prodigal Public House

After a long drive to Minneapolis from Council Bluffs, we wanted to hit up a bar close to our Airbnb and we kind of stumbled upon this gem.We walked in and luckily found a table with a few comfy chairs around it in the back. Unfortunately we were too late to order food, (I was dying for some fish and chips), but we all had a couple drinks and they were really good and priced nice too.The waitress was super nice and actually from somewhere close to where we lived, which was really cool.My group almost went back to this bar the next night but we had too much fund, lol. I would definitely go back to the Prodigal Public House in the future!

Stopped here for wings with a buddy and I was really impressed. The best thing about my visit was the bartender/owner. He was really friendly and it was clear he was loved by the regulars at the bar. He was also really accommodating and make me a spaghett. The ambiance was homey and they have a couple big tv for football. Highly recommend

My boyfriend and I love it here. We go way too often now. Fish and chips r incredible and the cauliflower is soooo good. Drinks r super strong and ambience is top tier. Pls go here

This place use to be great. But the last time we where there. WOW, is all I can say. Food was good as always but the day before the fourth and you are out of the bottle of wine we asked for. Also out of chips for your fish and chips, they substituted tots without telling us they were out of them. I hope they make it. To be out of things prior to a holiday weekend. Hmmmm.

This is a neat pub near MIA. I enjoyed the decorations. There's a decent amount of seating. We were early, before 5pm in a Saturday, but they were ready for us.I had the chicken pot pie with salad greens and my daughter had Margareta flat bread it was all great.

OMG!? I literally had the BEST fish and chips I've ever had in this country. No lie! I almost want to come tomorrow to eat this again. I've had fish and chips in many parts of the US and this somehow beats them all! Flavor is there, tasted SOfresh, perfectly fried, delicious tartar sauce, yummy fries and tasty coleslaw. The vibe was also laid back and cozy, the seating dining area makes you feel like you're at someone's home-- my friend and I had a long convo while having our meals, we felt at home! Our waiter was also attentive, sweet and helpful. Highly recommend giving this place a try. It's literally a hidden gem! I always drove by it and I finally tried it... I regret not coming sooner!

Awesome pub. Feels like home walking in the door, if you had a happy home, and a decent relationship with Alcohol. Friendly customers and barkeep. Guinness and Cider!

Time for an update. The Prodigal has definitely earned that fifth star. I've been here several times now since they've opened and each time I come I enjoy it even more. On one of my visits we received permission to bring in some donuts from Glam Doll Donuts around the corner to enjoy with our beers, yes you heard correct, beer and donuts are awesome together. I feel like they should add this to their menu, it would be a nice combo item like the "Hound and Bear". So let's talk about the "Hound and Bear". The Hound and Bear is a Hamms beer and a shot of Irish whiskey from Tullamore Dew distillery which is awesome together. Another thing that has grown on me is the delicious popcorn they have, perfectly popped, salted and buttered. I would say what earned that fifth star this visit was when the owner came around to all the tables and offered up some of their tasty fried cheese curds. Sure it's a community bowl of curds, but I've already given myself over to the community popcorn so why not enjoy the festivities. It's a really nice personal touch when the owner comes around to greet everyone, which I've experienced more then once here at the prodigal. Until next time Prodigal Public house.

Great back story to this place. This was my second visit. Traditional Irish pub feel, the decor makes it look like it's been there for decades, but it hasn't. Happy bartenders. They serve food, too. I didn't have any on this late night trip

Since I found this pub in my neighborhood I've not wanted to be anywhere else when having a drink. Friendly service every time I stop in and the crowd is casual and always having a great time. Its a place you'll share conversations with everyone around you and even the owner will have a seat and join in. As far as their food menu goes I've only had the sweet potatoes fries which were spot on great flavor and a generous portion. The menu looks delicious and people I've asked have had nothing but good reviews on the menu choices so eager to start working my way through it. So stop in at the bar top if you're looking for great service, friendly conversation and good times!
