Great place to hand around for bear, food and fun. Nice ambiance..wonderful outdoor and indoor facilities.
We liked the food. They have a lots of choice of beer, but no wine and limited cocktails. May be they can add few more cocktail options.
Overall a fun place.

Stepping into Surly Brewing, you immediately get a sense of their personality, which is a big part of what makes it such a staple here in Minneapolis. It's a place that manages to feel both expansive and incredibly welcoming, no small feat for a brewery of its size.
The taproom itself is a hub of activity, always buzzing but never overwhelmingly so. You’ll find a diverse crowd, from folks grabbing a quick pint after work to groups settling in for an evening with friends. They've really nailed the balance between an industrial brewery vibe and a comfortable gathering spot.
Now, about the beer—it’s Surly, so you know what you’re getting: quality and variety. Whether you’re a fan of their iconic Furious IPA, something a bit lighter, or one of their more experimental brews, there’s always something interesting on tap. Their beer consistently hits the mark, showcasing a real dedication to craft without being pretentious about it.
Beyond the beer, the food menu is surprisingly robust. It’s not just your average pub grub; they’ve put some thought into offerings that pair well with their beers and stand alone as solid choices. It makes it easy to stick around for a full meal rather than just a drink.
Service is typically spot-on—attentive without hovering, and the staff genuinely seems to know their stuff when it comes to the vast beer selection. It feels like everyone working there is part of the Surly family, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere.
All in all, Surly Brewing delivers. It’s a place that understands its identity and delivers on it consistently, making it a reliable and enjoyable spot for a casual visit or a dedicated beer outing. It’s more than just a brewery; it’s a community hub that just happens to make some fantastic beer.

I got the Korean barbecue chicken sandwich and the grapefruit ale. Absolutely goated combo after a long night and my friend was mad that i got the better order. The dining area feels like a very high end high school cafeteria with a lookout to an LED lit brewery. It was really cool though and the parking was good. The prices were pretty standard, I spent like $30 with tip.

Came on a Tuesday evening for a couple of pints and some tacos. The tacos were decent, but it looked like the other food is where it’s at. The place was pretty busy for a week night, so it definitely seemed like the place to be. The beers were both phenomenal, so I’m looking forward to visiting again to sample some more.

Late review, but it was worthy.  I was in Minneapolis for a few hours and decided to give this place a shot.  It was early December, afternoon, Saturday, and PACKED!  The pizza was good.  They have the small craft pizza's that can be shared with another person or easily eaten by one person (but maybe shouldn't be?).  I got a pepperoni, salami (ham) w/ extra sauce.  Def call ahead and check regarding reservations.  It doesn't give off the vibes of a place where reservations are needed, but it gets packed.  I sat at the bar and the bartender was fantastic (forget her name, it was Dec 7th, 12:19pm if anyone cares).  The order process is simple, order at the register, get a little box that lights up, then go grab your pizza.  They have tons of specialty pizza's as well, very creative.  Also, their salads, though I didn't get one, looked amazing.  If I was local I'd check it out and or go more than once, especially given the brewery portion with it.
