I saw this on a list of Best Beer Bars and it did not disappoint. Excellent selection of local Minnesota beers. Also a huge outdoor patio to enjoy on a nice summer day.

I should tell you that I was coming in with a preconceived notion about Republic. I had read the reviews on Yelp and a disturbing number of people complained about extremely rude service. I was braced for the worst, but hoping that the cheap prices would make up for a poor experience. Republic's management must have read the reviews and... More

very wide selection of beers, interesting flavor combinations in a very cool atmosphere. Service was excellent. The lunch I had there on a quiet weekday afternoon was so enjoyable. The kind of bar where you'd like to hang out with friends and just keep trying different beers and the varied tastes on the menu. I don't know when I'll get... More

Amazing grass-fed beef burgers. High quality food for a great price. I normally don't do fries but the french fries and hollandaise here are worth the extra cash. Plus an outstanding selection of beers on tap. It's an added plus that there are no TV's in the beautiful bar area.

Been here numerous times over the past year. Nice outdoor seating area that is typically not full so finding a spot is pretty easy. The beer list is pretty extensive with lots of options. Their beer sampler is a great deal; something like $10 for 3 8oz pours. The food is prety decent. The fish and pork tacos are good... More

We sat down at a table that was sticky and dirty. Really gross. Next came the menus, but it was so dark that we needed a flashlight to read them, and so loud that we had to yell to talk to each other. Our waitress had strong body odor, not the kind of person I like touching my food. Tried... More

We ate here several times during our week in Mnpls as it was within walking distance of our hotel. Happy hours were great with good prices and a large outdoor patio for sitting. Dinner inside was also very good with attentive service and reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend this place!

This is the best beer bar in the twin cities if not the the entire region. They have a daily happy hour from 4:00 to 6:00 where most of the craft beer is $3 and two large and tasty fish tacos are $5. Excellent value, excellent beer, excellent food, and excellent service.

Fun, college-oriented, casual atmosphere with great bar food. Portions are small, so not inexpensive. Best choice in the neighborhood.

I had a great dinner on the patio. I was traveling alone, so I had no dinner companions. I read a book and eavesdropped on nearby tables. The outdoor dining space is really nice. I had a great dinner of grilled walleye, vegetables, and Minnesota wild rice. Just what I wanted as a visitor from out of state! I would... More
