The Freehouse

I don't know why the ratings for this place are so low! This looked like the place to be on a Saturday night in downtown Minneapolis. Great restaurant with a good brewery. Beautiful building and interior, excellent service. This is really the type of place you could go for a nice dinner, just for beers, on a date, or take the whole family. They could use some higher ABV offerings, but the 2 beers I had were well made. Give this place a chance.

Some entity with a good amount of money has financed this place to feel like a large, clean chain brewpub. Even the mostly German style beer list was expected. Definitely good beers though. It looks like they have some to go beer available. I did not eat on this visit.

Nice place with a decent sized restaurant area plus a bar and patio seating. The beer is good but our server messed up my order twice. The food was excellent. Despite the issue with our server, I would probably visit here again.

Solid industrial brewpub vibe. Excellent food. Whatever sanitizer/cleaningsolution they use clings to the glass. Unacceptable. No flights, but pony size orders for anything.

Quite a large venue, trying to be a bit trendy/upmarket with decor and crappy background bar music. Beer is a focus but definitely not the main reason to go here. Decent if not huge beer choice, their own plus a few guests, quality was fair enough. Food was very good - my burger was actually spectacular. I’d look at it is a good general venue with decent beer as a benefit on the side.

Large space with a definite corporate feel. Bartenders were a little passive, but friendly. 8 beers on tap for $2 a taster. The beers were executed well but were also tame and boring. Did not eat, but the hours of this place are awesome so I might head back for breakfast one of these mornings.

I was pretty excited about this place when it first opened as it had some really good features. Large parking lot in the warehouse district, an emphasis on breakfast food, an emphasis on IPAs, and an attractive space, both inside and out. Oddly, despite promising myself to eat breakfast there sometime, I still haven’t eaten there. My experience with the beers has been good, but short of outstanding. But overall, since this is a place rating, and not a beer rating, I like it.

My fiance works near here. Four flagship beers, usually 4-6 others plus a guest tap or two. Solid food. Beers are unspectacular usually but occasionally have a great one. I like the place, don’t love it. Kind of an unusual crowd as its right downtown in the trendy North Loop neighborhood.

A huge food-focused brewpub with an upscale vibe. A table service restaurant takes up most of the interior, but there’s also a nice 360 degree bar area and patio for the few months a year when it’s not freezing outside. The house beers are unfortunately pretty mediocre. I’ve found there’s usually 7-8 available, so out-of-towners should find a decent number of ticks. Sample pours are available. Overall, a good option if you’re in the area and feeling hungry.

Stopped in for lunch with wife and kid before Twins game. Exactly tyoe of place looking for since with two non drinkers. Food was really good and interesting. Only 4 house beers on I had which was ok. Nice decor lofty maybe a touch corporate but say ill cool. Decent patio and not too packed even on game day.
