Leib YardleyJanuary 23, 2015Great for shooting pool. And this bar has a a separate karaoke room. Grunge crowd is friendly and inviting. I would recommend this bar to anyone.
ask for a sandinista shot to go with one of the great specialty taps that are frequently rotated out. if you're hungry, don't sleep on the cream cheese burger (adding jalapenos is a MUST) with tots.
Christine BOctober 25, 2013The cream cheese burger may sound weird, but it's amazing (if you love cream cheese). No other condiments needed. Get the fried cheese curds too.
Rachel BachmeierOctober 4, 2017What’s the best way to eat nachos? On tots of course! Totchos were delish
City PagesAugust 5, 2014This Grumpy's (one of three locations) feels like a comfortable, worn-in local bar. Read more
Sandy KathleenJanuary 16, 2012I find myself ordering the same meal over and over again -- Whack a Mole Burger with a black bean veggie patty with waffle fries and their incredible sour cream dipping sauce.
Dana JeffersonJuly 18, 2015Love this bar! Always enjoy the atmosphere and service...pool tables are also fun to kill time...
Huck down 6 or 7 PBR pounders and right before you leave get the "Big Ass Breakfast Sandwich" and you can skip breakfast when you wake up in the morning.
Staraoke blows every other bar's karaoke out of the water. Rock Band kicks ass, as do the bartenders. Try the veggie cheese bites, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the molten awesomeness.
Try the "Totchos". They substitute tater tots for their nachos. Not on the menu. You'll thank me later. You're welcome.
Michael MayApril 6, 2013Cream cheese burger is excellent. Picky kids who don 't want the Rugrats Menu will enjoy the American.- City PagesJune 16, 2011Voted Best Place to Shoot Pool by City Pages in 2011! They almost always have open tables, and it is less than two bucks for a game
Stephen KoontzMarch 8, 2013Elvis burger will send you to heaven... Because it's delicious and will kill you; so take it easy.
Ask for the "spud burger" it's pineapple bacon pepper cheese jalapeño and grumpys sauce mix with buffalo it's the bee's knees
Monday nights are a steal. Any Minnesota brewed beer you can have on the cheap. All freakin nite. Just don't create a hot mess after you've had 6.
Tator tots are awesome but have you tries the sweet potato fries?
Sad Jam Open Mic every Wednesday at 10 p.m. You never know who might show up!
Betsey GilesOctober 9, 2011Good bar grub, nice selection of beers, patio is great when the weather is nice.
Graeme ThickinsNovember 22, 2011good food, good bartenders, great service... crappy decor and surroundings (but then, I'm grumpy)
Bathroom Review: The men's bathroom has a trough and a freestanding toilet. If you are male and need to go #2, ask for a towel from the bartender and pretend you're cleaning the women's room.
Tip well, these guys put up with enough bull to deserve it!
Play Ministry or Sisters of Mercy on the juke box for better service. Trust me.
Try the grilled ham and cheese with veggies (I get just broccoli!)..that and a cocktail make a perfect lunch.
With the Burgermeister you can get almost any tap beer. For the price this is a great way to get a burger and good beer.- When you order the Slow Burn, get some blue cheese with it
Jess Colòn PolkFebruary 15, 2011Whatever you do, don't write "I love pee" on the floor with ketchup and mustard. Ps tip well or leave.
Minnesota Mondays! Half price local taps goes perfectly with the chicken quesadilla or tots!
Vegan chili paired with Surly Cacao Bender - seriously nothing better
Have Patty make you a Hot Tottie, it will cure all that ails you
Hilarious night of fun! Who's keeping this a secret? Join in!
The drinks are poured perfectly... The men's room scares me!
Chris CarlsonJuly 26, 2009Go to Grumpy's and order a Sandanita shot. Delicious. Sriracha sauce, tequilla and other yumminess. Also available at Joe's Garage.
Phil McDiarmidAugust 23, 2014Smells like 1000 people were smoking in the place, get an air freshener already. Totally rude bartender too. Tap beer was funky, asked for a bottle and got an attitude. Grumpys made me grumpy!!
the pepper burger rocks. best with a cold premium tap and you can't go wrong with tater tots.
Cynthia CaseySeptember 17, 2014I love me a really good juicy Lucy but lately I have been absolutely brock I'm homeless and hungry I would love someone who cares to help please pretty please I'm really hungry have not eating in abo
Go to Grumpy's on Wednesday for comedy open mic and watch your self-esteem plummet when you bomb. And you will.
All the food is great and the bartenders are awesome. Karaoke on Thursdays!

"Great burger! It's grass fed meat which is not listed hence why it tastes so good! Dude, get the onion rings!"

"This venue of choice for higher-profile dubstep and trap events attracts the 18+ crowd. Although this venue won't win awards for best decor, it packs enough bass to melt your face off."
