The Local - Minneapolis

Positives: Affordable, delicious - i liked my steak & vegetable pie. My friend liked her baked Mac & Cheese, and the baked pretzel was tasty. The kids' tray was nicely prepared. The prices in general were affordable. The outside seating area was very nice.

Negatives: kids Mac & Cheese was a waste of money, barely had any cheese. As a parent I expect restaurants to prepare kids meals at the same quality level as the grown-up version of it.

Beware: they add an 18% tip automatically.

We almost didn't eat here but I am glad we gave it a try!

Atmosphere was nice just like typical Irish pub. Even though Google reviews were great for this place, I didn't expect too much about the quality of food and I was so wrong.

We ordered Mac&cheese, pot roast and pub curry and every single menu we ordered were delicious!

I also ordered a glass of Guiness and shared with my husband and we both loved it so much.

I highly recommend this place, if you don't know where to go in downtown of Minneapolis. Great place that we never expected to find!

All round great dining experience! We ordered the Chicken Shots and Quinoa Slaad for starters - both very generous portions and absolutely delicious! For mains, we had the Pub Pot Roast and the Vegetarian House Curry. The pot roast was good, but not great - very tender, but lacked complex flavor in the sauce, so couldn't really taste much other than the meat itself. The curry, on the other hand, was absolutely divine!! Filling and amazingly flavorful. Service was great and really attentive. Great rewards program also. Would certainly dine here again in a heartbeat! One of the better dining options in Minneapolis!

This place is so elegant and beautiful! Not only was the atmosphere really nice, but the service and food was just as good. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves Irish pub food.

I had the Fish & Chips while my boyfriend ordered The Reuben and We washed everything down with a Guinness and a Strongbow Cider. For dessert, we shared a slice of Irish Cream Cheesecake which was SO good!

The prices here are a little higher than your standard Irish Pub, but the atmosphere and décor is just so nice that it makes it all worth it! Give this place a try!

This place was a great time. Good food, great staff, very cool atmosphere, and the fastest service I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant.
My mom had the cod sandwich and I had the pot roast sandwich. We both agreed they needed more sauce, but otherwise the meals were great!!
Would recommend if you are in Minneapolis!

A good black velvet, in a typical decor. The staff was so nice! The food was great. A great stop!

Great environment,service and food! The pot pie was great! And the cheese cake was my absolute favorite!

Love the atmosphere. Wings were yummy. Fish and chips needed some salt and should be served with lemon. Asked and received.

My only issues were the high top was uneven, the food runner was auctioning off food, and the entrees came out way to fast. We were still eating our app.

Server was good too.

Hands down the best Mother's Day Brunch I've ever had. Other places were booked solid but there was plenty of room here. The Eggs Benedict are top of the line with plenty of bearnaise. My husband and I went here on our honeymoon many years ago and I'm happy to say it's still great.

Normally I wait 24 hours before review, but this is an exception. I'm here right now before a concert. Initially it was great, but it went downhill. Food is great, but the service is part of the problem. I don't know why the host in the front of the house decided to seat a visibly drunk, rowdy group of 13 people who were SCREAMING throughout right next to us when the rest of the restaurant was empty. We asked to be seated elsewhere but we're seated in a different part of the same area with the large crowd. Not happy.

Also, this restaurant is either understaffed, disorganized or both. The server was clearly overwhelmed, the chef had no idea where to drop off food (which the server should be delivering food but whatever), and the manager did absolutely nothing.

If the service was better, I'd be back. The food is great, loved the fish and chips and the pub pretzels. I really enjoyed the food. But I'm extremely unhappy with how things are handled here. Literally waiting for the check to leave ASAP. Not recommended.
