Surly Brewing Co.

An absolute must if you are in the area. This is truly the best place to grab a beer, both because of the quality of their food and beer selection, but also because this is the most impressive beer hall around ($33 million facility).

Great atmosphere and beer.

One of the biggest craft breweries in Minneapolis. Great outdoor space and used as a venue for local music/art. Excellent food too.

Bustling venue with tavern grub & its own microbrews, plus an upstairs eatery with beer pairings.

Well known place in Minnesota. They have a great facility with crafted beer and a restaurant with great food (they also have pizza). Check out their website as they have concerts and other events frequently.
