Mac's Industrial Sports Bar

The food is always good as hell, but I ordered the 4 alarm burger and it had 0 inferno sauce. Like fam, I order this burger so that my mouth is literally taken to hell and I get one molecule of happiness on this desolate plane of existence. It really let me down. Please don’t forget the most important ingredient on this the burger. It’s necessary to me finding a reason to live. Other than that, the bartenders are always cool, the food is good, the vibes are super chill.

The most excellent Rueben I’ve ever consumed in my life, a truly unfathomable sandwich. Dined here on a date on Thursday, we waited for a server at a table for 5ish minutes before giving up and sitting at the bar. Bartender fully ignored us in favor of talking to other staff and we had to wave over staff to get more sauces (which I HATE DOING, as someone in the service industry). I had my card on the counter for 5 minutes with our empty plates stacked next to us before the bartender even noticed. Every time I’ve dined in I’m ignored by staff and have to summon over servers/bartenders. This is an excellent “takeout restaurant,” but the service is truly awful in a way I’ve never experienced at any other restaurant in my life. I wish I could give the service 0 stars. Get your food to go and have an excellent day experience.

So doing 5 stars for service because of our favorite server! Can't remember her name, blonde, goes above & beyond. We haven't seen her in a couple weeks so hopefully she's on a vacation!! Love her warmth and energy. Food is hit or miss but she doesn't hesitant to make things right for us! Tell her thanks for more than 2 years of serving and/or bartending for us, our family, and friends

I work right next to Macs. I've had their food on doordash but this was my first time actually coming in. I was on my break from work and I only had 30 minutes. Which yes, is risky going to a restaurant with that much time but I looked at the menu ahead of time and knew what I wanted. When I entered the restaurant I looked around for a host table or maybe a sign that said “Please seat yourself” but I didn't see either. So I just sat down and waited a couple minutes. Worried that I got the process wrong and therefore no one actually knew I had come in, and I'd just go unnoticed I went to ask a waitress if I just seat myself. She responded, “yes sit wherever you feel most comfortable someone will be with you shortly”. She seemed to be more attentive to her section than the other section I was sitting in so I moved to a table next to a table she was serving. I sat there for 17 minutes before someone who I assume just got there to take over the shift came and offered me a menu. At that point, it had been about 20 minutes since I first entered the restaurant and I only had 30 for my break. So I couldn't order anything and instead went back to work hungry and disappointed.

I used to come through here all the time a few years ago, but I don’t think I’ll be back. I’ve personally never met a French fry I didn’t like to the point I wouldn’t eat, so this was a first. It was almost like they were stale and then dropped in the fryer, they came out a weird texture tasting like cardboard. The chicken strips & onion strings a little overdone but were okay. It would be a good place to grab a drink and watch a game, but I’d pass on the apps.

The bulls be flying at this fine darts establishment. Sibley is the rad-est server with the coolest hand stitched pants. 10/10

The Best Reuben in the Twin Cities. My Father and I made a trip to visit all the places in an article published in a newspaper featuring the best Reubens in the cities. This is one that sells out, so order it immediately when you sit down. The balance of meat to sauerkraut and cheese are absolutely perfect. The macaroni is better than almost any place I have been. It is not a tangy style, it is a smoother flavor. I love the wonderful service for the couple of times I have been. I think we tried 10 restaurants where they offered Reubens, this was the best. Voted: Best Reuben on The Official Reuben Tour.

The customer service at Mac's Industrial was poor. The coleslaw was dry, the burger was mediocre. Do not recommend.

Mac's is always a solid choice Fun environment especially after the Gophers win!!!

First time visiting this establishment. I would classify as a dive bar. Industrial atmosphere. We were in for an early dinner on a Wednesday and had no trouble getting a table. My wife had white chicken chili soup and thought it was great. She also ordered the Rueben sandwich which was fantastic, very large. I had the mushroom and Swiss burger which was also really good. Everybody at the table enjoyed their food. Server was good. She was a little talkative but didn't have many tables so I think she was looking for something to do. Decent beer selections. Cocktails were fine. I don't think there is a parking lot so you need to park on the street or nearby lots. Going to return to try more menu items.

Perfect curds. Perfect burger cooked raw like I like it. Falling Knife beer (the perfect IPA). And a Clemson game on the TV.?Definitely six stars out of five.

This is a great locals spot with the best reuben sandwich in the twin cities. Staff is amazing!

Worst bar I have ever been to in my life. Place reeked of human feces and the waitstaff were so beyond rude / unprofessional. (Before writing this review, I made several attempts to reach out to management by email, via their website, and by phone with no response so clearly they do not care about these issues.)

I used to come through here all the time a few years ago, but I don't think I'll be back. I've personally never met a French fry I didn't like to the point I wouldn't eat, so this was a first.

It would be a good place to grab a drink and watch a game, but I'd pass on the apps.

Personally, I only came here for the beer and for NFL football. We were kind of in the back and the TVs are a little small based on where you were sitting at the table, so the 42 inch TVs looked like they were 20 inches, but the beer was quite tasty. Pros: Nice selection of stouts, open floor concept Cons: TVs are a little too small based on where you Sat, paid parking.

New location is large and clean. Doesn't open until 3 or so on weekdays I believe. Reuben is amazing - tender shredded corn beef. I love their expansive options for sides.

Great sports bar. Delicious food and great drinks. They even have a new THC beverage. Lots of tvs and will change the tv if you ask. It's busy and fun on college football game days. The only negative is parking can be a challenge and there's a bunch of construction going on.

Great food, great staff, solid beer selection, great cocktails. Bring back the excellent french fries instead of the waffle fries and it's got everything.

Please be open for lunch during weekdays. I love your menu. Quesadilla is the best! I don't like the change to waffle fries!

This place has a really cool vibe with tons of TVs to watch the game. The food was good, especially the Tatchos. Our waitress was so nice but they were super understaffed during the final four games that things took a bit. But I'd go back for sure.

How the mighty have fallen, Mac's died when it moved locations. The old location always had great service, a great beer selection, and awesome bar food. This new location is just a hollow husk of a space with a lame beer selection, understaffing issues, and the "best" thing on the menu is mashed potatoes. I ordered the Tennessee hot chicken sandwich and watched the guy from the kitchen visit 8 different tables before finding his way to me. And what greeted me on the plate was disappointment. "Chicken" that was hard to the touch and less than 1/4" thick, with most of that thickness being breading. It's like they made a schnitzel version of a chicken breast, battered it, then over fried it. And guess what? They used red food dye to make it look Tennesee hot! I thought it was blood in the toilet bowl a few hours later until I put 2 and 2 together. RIP old Mac's, you will be missed.

This is now my second time here and I have truly enjoyed it both times. One of the hazards of resettling in enemy territory (Boo Twins, Vikings, Wild, and Timberwolves) is finding those soft places where you knew exactly what to expect every time and as I explore i find myself being drawn back into this spot. I have something terrible to admit moving into cold country like this, even if it is just for a short while, but I'm trying not only to be vegetarian but also vegan. I'm failing miserably at the second half, but have been hanging pretty good with the vegetarian side. Both times I have been able to find something not only to fit the bill but also delicious and satisfying. First, the look. This is a very typical bar. Long bar, televisions everywhere, plenty of beers on tap. Actually a perfect setting to watch sports and eat grub. Of course that's where it changes. The grub here is very good. Hidden behind this facade of an industrial building with very typical dive bar look is a delicious menu. The southwest bean egg rolls were crispy and crunchy and the chipotle aioli is fantastic. Just enough spice to sweat, but also with great flavor. Anyone who knows me on any level knows that I love cilantro and their Chipotle Salad is filled with this wonder weed. Lettuce, corn, black beans... all perfect. The surprise of it all was the chipotle vinagarette. Wow. I never imagined this flavor palate. I couldn't get enough of it. My friend ordered the Mac and Cheese and she was immediately in love. Her exact words was, "It's like heaven met heave and bred food." She also the grilled cheese with tomato and avocado and I have to say, the one bite I took made me want to steal the whole thing. While this is about a 30 minute drive for me and it's worth it.

Food is amazing! Owner is such a cool dude and super friendly. Definitely got the high ceiling industrial vibe going on. Highly recommend.

Gone a few times in last couple of months, bartenders suck and can be slow service on the off chance there's a lot of people there. Foods good different staff and it would be top tier

Small scale Minneapolis sports bar and grill to come together with friends and family to support Minnesota sports while grabbing a reasonably priced drink/meal. Customer service was iffy. I came with three other individuals and we all agreed that our waitress could have been friendlier and more aware to their surroundings. When we needed to be serviced, we found that our waitress struggled to notice when we flag her down. Also, due to it being a smaller Minneapolis bar, parking is limited to the side of the road (hard to find a spot and requires parallel parking). In addition, I would avoid this establishment if you have restroom related issues, for which I found myself waiting in a 5-10 minute line every time I needed to use it (one restroom per gender: male, female, and family). I highly recommend to those looking for a sports atmosphere, no shortage of TV's, and a large menu selection of IPA's, ales, stouts, and ciders! Food Menu Variety: 6/10 Drink Menu: 8.5/10 Customer service: 5/10. Atmosphere: 6/10

Blown out speaker at full volume for Vikings games and it is a challenge to get your bartender's attention for closing out or starting a tab. Locals reserve seats around the bars to go walk around and hang out while you're standing looking for a place to sit. I think one of the tv's are broken. The only redeeming factor here is the location to nicer spots

Great place to watch a football game! Our large group had lots of requests, all of which the server was quick and attentive to. I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich and thought it was quite good. The beer list was great too! Only complaint was there wasn't enough servers. Our poor server was manning all of the tables - she did a great job considering how busy she was. I'll be back for a game day again soon!

Came here during the Twins Wild Card game and it was hopping! We were still able to get a table after the game started with a bit of a wait. Our waiter was on the ball despite the packed house and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Southwest Burger and the thing was so big I could barely eat it. Another woman in our party used a fork - much smarter. The burgers come with a variety of choices for sides, and I would not recommend the onion rings. They are stringy and hard to eat. The beer menu is unique, but it wasn't my favorite. With a burger and a beer, I got out if there for $18, which is okay. Overall, I was most impressed by the service and speed at which out food arrived given the crowded Happy Hour/big game chaos. I might come again.

This restaurant has the best Ruben sandwich in all of mpls! Just had one delivered last night and my wife and I were very happy to eat it with the burning frys

We were visiting from Orange County, CA for a friend's wedding and decided to stop by a local bar to watch some football games. This place is great -- the staff was really courteous and friendly (and always asking us after a game would end if we wanted a different game to be played on that TV), the food was delicious and of generous portion sizes (we got the Totchos and the French Dip sandwich), and the patrons seemed to be a nice mix of fans of various teams, which makes watching football a lot more of a fun time, especially for us out-of-towners with no idea where to go.

Really enjoyed this place! Came in to watch the Vikings game and was happy to see there were plenty of tvs around the restaurant so this was not an issue at all. Ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with a side of mac and cheese as well as an order of BBQ wings. Both dishes were fantastic! The portion sizes were pretty big for a lunch menu item too. The tap list was a little short but I was still satisfied with what I ordered (Loon Juice cider). I'd recommend this place if you're in the area!

Mac's was OK and would be a good place to stop in for some snacks and a brew. But I did feel a little like it was overpriced for what we got. I think that maybe we just erred in not coming for happy hour. We were impressed with the beer list -- much better than most hole in the wall type bars and a good emphasis on craft. Beers were nice and cold. Bonus points for the little hooks under the counter at the bar for purses. Foodwise, we really liked the mini corn dog appetizer. That was probably the winner of the night for me. The dogs were good quality beef franks. The coating was flavorful and stuck to the dogs correctly, frying up to gold delicoiusness. I got the BBQ bacon cheddar burger, which was fine but not amazing. The potato salad with it was good, but again, not great. My husband got a sandwich (some kind of wrap) and the mac and cheese as a side. Mac's menu was more diverse than most bar menus, and the food was generally executed just fine. Better than average even. But nothing exceptional and a little steep at $50+ for two meals, one app and two beers. On the plus side, our waitress was really great. She got a bit distracted toward the end of our meal, taking forever to bring my credit card back to the table ... But I chalked that up to her being busy. other than that, service was great.

This place is known for their Reuben sandwich. They say it's votes best Reuben in town. How theirs differs is it's slow roasted pulled corned beef vs. sliced. You get a good amount of corned beef in the sandwich. Best to order either the mac n cheese or coleslaw as the side. It's not the best Reuben I've eaten, but it was tasty.

If I could give Mac's 10 stars, I would. Pro tip- they always have grand marnier and never look at you weird when you ask for a shot of it. The kitchen is open late, which means I used to come here every Saturday when I was done working at the bar nearby. Honestly all of their food is amazing, but I especially love the grilled cheese with tots or the mac n cheese with Sriracha on the side. (Yes I have the tastebuds of a child, deal with it) Sometimes it gets busy, but you can usually get a table no matter the time. AND THEY HAVE A PARKING LOT which is rare in the area.

Mac's industrial Bro Bar: I actually used to be a regular here. Not because this place was *the best* but because I liked their food, I lived close enough, and they were friendly (knew how to generate a tip). The food is good for bar food. I've tried a lot of different things on the menu (including the reuben, which is decent, but not the best in Minneapolis), and was never disappointed with that. I got acquainted with a few of the bartenders (I believe two are the owners, and they're brothers or cousins, if memory serves). Everything was pretty friendly and personable, until the last time I was in (not recently, as I will not come back to these assholes). It was some kind of wing night, and the vibe was completely off with these guys (the owners). I had to keep asking for things, and they basically made it clear that they didn't want me there for some reason; this felt oddly personal. I'm not sure what changed from the last time I was in, or if they were just having a particularly bad night (the place was almost empty), but I finished my food, and left, while making some pretty awkward eye contact. I won't be back, and I won't try their newer bar out that opened a few years ago, either. If you treat me like crap, you get one star. Experiences like this always puzzle me. I tip really well, but over the last year or so, I've been re-thinking the way I spend money as a customer, because of stuff like this- Do bartenders/servers think we'll just keep tipping them well automatically, once they have us, because they were friendly to us, initially? We're not friends, Broseph. Ugh.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Mac's yet!! Mac's Industrial is mine and my siggy other's token payday lunch date, which happens to be today, YAY! T-Minus 1 hour until I get to go! Yes, it's a "Sport's Bar" but honestly it doesn't feel like one in the douche-y sense. Neither I nor my boyfriend like sports and we have a grand old time here. Everything I have tried from Mac's is delicious - I wouldn't say it's typical bar food because the flavors are on point - sure, a lot of it is greasy goodness but they know what they're doing. The beer list is great and they don't mind tossing out samples if you're not sure if you're gonna like that hefeweizen. My favorite and absolute go-to meal is their Grilled Cheese + Ham with a fried egg and a side of french fries. Their french fries are amazing! You can get them different "styles" but if you just get them regular they still come with this really tasty seasoning on them and I can't get enough. That paired with the sandwich with the egg yolk oozing all over the fries is enough to send me into a heavenly coma of awesomeness. You can't go wrong. My 2nd go-to when I feel like I need to try and be "healthier" let's be honest, it's just "less fatty" is their Crispy Chicken Salad. Yes, you MUST get the chicken crispy which negates the whole idea of a salad but whatever, eff you. Don't judge my salad! It's got everything you want in it: spring greens, cheese, bacon, tomatoes, dried cranberries, onion, and a perfect honey mustard dressing. My one recommendation: Add sliced avocado. Dear god, ADD AVOCADO! It bring this from a 10 to an 11. My other half is hooked on their BLAT (BLT-Avocado) and fries and while it sounds good I just can't break away from the chains that are my grilled cheese+ham+egg or my salad. So yeah, BLAST is supposedly really good too! Before he locked in the BLAT as his fav he would always get the Mini Mac burgers, I think they had a special sauce on it that was pretty good. Anyway, point is: You should go. andyoushouldgethegrilledcheesehamdandeggwithfriesbecauseitsthebest.

Terribly rude waitress. She was hostile and said to us "what are you looking at??" Unprofessional. we just went for a beer and was met with hostilit.

Terrible service, waitress was so condescending and totally unprofessional. At one point she challenged our table saying "do you have something to say". Poor service and awful demeanor., hope you find better staff.

First time here. I had the brisket reuben sandwich and it was spectacular. Highly recommend it. Bar staff was friendly and on point. I'll go back for sure. Legit 5 stars.

The menu has some great items and the beer list was great as well. The grinder and the Brussel sprouts were amazing !

As far as spirts bats go, this is old school but pretty dam. Good. Great Rueben. Had good service and good food.

Mac's Industrial Sports Bar & Grill was very good and very affordable. It's the little things that make Mac's Industrial Sports Bar & Grill so awesome. Mini Corn Dogs exceeded my expectations, it was my very first time trying it here, but I'm planning to have it again next time. The customer service is top-notch. Mac's Industrial Sports Bar & Grill is pretty solid.

Overall great experience with the food and service here at Mac's. However, today's order of tuna salad sandwich included a fairly large piece of paper. Looks like it could have been butcher paper that was forgotten, needless to say luckily it was big enough to spot before I took a bit. Delicious food, just have to work on quality control and food safety

Blackened Buffalo wings changed my life. I was depressed before these wing. I was going through a really hard divorce but these made me forget that she took 60% of my Lifetime earnings. Thank you Macs.

First time I went to Mac's Industrial, their menu scared me off! If it wasn't for other people in the group, I would've left and never looked back! The long, overwhelming menu wasn't what I expected. You expect a menu of this length in Chinese restaurants, right? When you go to a Chinese place, you know a long menu with plenty of choices is waiting for you: you know you have to choose and you accept the responsibility that comes with it. But I sometimes wish I was not free to choose. It's when I go to a sports bar: when I'm tired of being responsible for my choices. I go to a bar to avoid choice overload. I don't want to be free to choose; I don't want to be responsible for choosing the wrong item. I want my average burger and beer! When I go to a bar, I don't want to be overwhelmed by the allure of choice! However, the more I went to Mac's Industrial, the more I understood there is no need to panic! Whatever I've eaten there was good. I no longer need to be worried about the existentialist responsibility that comes with choice! It doesn't matter which one of the 20 sides you choose to come with your sandwich, they are all equally good. You want to customize your dish? Close your eyes and randomly put your finger on one of the 30 extras, they're all good. So, don't worry that, unlike other bars, you must genuinely choose here! One tip: go there on Thursday between 5-7 if you can. Between these hours beers on tap are less expensive and also you could enjoy %25 off every menu item. In non-happy hours, this place is a bit pricey compared to other sports bars.

Really good in all ways! Fun YUMMY The waitresses are very friendly and pretty! It's a fun place to have one. Plus they have a clean ish bathrooms! It's a winner!!! Winner!

When you hear the name Mac's Industrial, what's the first thing that comes to mind? For some it may be tap beer, the bar is lined with selection after selection of micro brews to European imports to classic domestics, many of which are on special. For others it may be the ambiance; not many places can be cool and hip, yet laid back and comfortable. But for me it's all about one thing: their bar food. The Reuben sandwich at Mac's is possibly the best that I've had in the Twin Cities. Most comparable would have to be Kieren's Irish Pub... but a clear winner has yet to be decided. Mac's Brisket style corned beef is slow roasted and pulled, served on lightly grilled marbled rye with Swiss, kraut and thousand island... this is how a Reuben should be made! I shouldn't neglect the fact that this Reuben also comes with one of ~ 20 sides... the Mac and Cheese and Burning Rings of Fire get top marks. If you're looking for lighter fare, Mac's has a large assortment of sandwiches and salads. I enjoy the the Oceanspray baguette - a combination of smoked turkey, sharp white cheddar, green apple and a cranberry mustard sauce. Very refreshing on a hot day. Food is served quickly and comes out hot, and the servers and bar staff are friendly and responsive. If you're looking for a good place to grab beers and food after a softball game, this place is great. Good beer specials and reasonably priced food that comes packed with flavor. Other notables: they have a few bar games including darts, pinball, and video games. There is also a patio that is small yet vital on warm summer nights. Price would fall in the 1 1/2 $ range, average menu item is around 9 bucks. All and all, this place is cool hangout and a must try for certain items on the menu. Try the Reuben - you won't be disappointed.

Their description of the Reuben online ain't wrong. One of the best I've had. If I'm back in town I'd make another stop just for that

Yelp rates this places the number 1 denver Broncos bar yet they don't even know what I am talking about when I call Probably more a Yelp review

Had drinks apps and dinner before a concert and it was great! Food was good buffalo wings seem to be the specialty and also rings of fire (spicy onion straws). Service was great and happy hour prices were extremely fair! We will definitely come back!

I'm updating the review because a good thing got better. We went there at 9 on a friday night for some food and the place wasn't packed but filled. we grabbed a table and got the best service I've ever had there. Generally that's the only thing that sucks about this place but now I've got nothing to complain about and everything to enjoy. i even switched from my normal sweet and sassy burger to one with herb mayo and spicy onion rings on the veg burger. Nice mix of hot and cool! had the cucumber side salad which was a nice thought but has too much oil on it. and i got to try 2 new beers! My boyfriend made the claim that they have the BEST BURGERS in the City... I would agree (Veg burger though)

Nice little spot to grab a bite to eat and watch a game. They have a large bar with many tvs. The food is typical of bar food.

New location, same awesome food and 7-days a week happy hour 3-7pm! The food here was always awesome (pro tip: get the Mac as your side!) and at the new location so far has been great. The new space classes it up a bit, fine for me.

Mac's is without question the best bar food in the twin cities. The French Dip has singlehandedly ruined every other restaurants French Dip since eating it. The Mac and Cheese is stellar. I recommend choosing it as one of the many side options to the above-mentioned French Dip. If you choose to belly up and eat, they have these ingenious little trays designed to keep your Aus Jus soaked bites from spilling on your fancy new sweater. This place is a true gem. I regret passing by it for years and not eating there sooner. Kudos!

Went here Wednesday night for happy hour. It was my third time here. FIrst time here was after 10 on a Sat night in Feb. It was really busy but still had decent service. Had some of the burning rings of fire... AMAZING! Especially for someone who doesn't care for onions. They are THINLY sliced onions in some sort of hot cajun type seasoning. YUM! Second time was a Sunday afternoon. Not too busy and again decent service. This day the burning rings of fire were just mehh. They weren't that spicy and had been sitting in the window for a few minutes. When we went Wed night we sat on the patio and had good service. The BROF were deliciously spicy. Almost as good as the first time. I like Mac's for the variety of beers they offer, the food, their location and the good service. Can't quite give them 5 stars yet but a solid 4.

New Menu! Went to Mac's for lunch today, and they have really made some strides! Not that anything was a-miss before, but in this economic-duress climate, 'workers who lunch' need a dollar-bill break! They've done it! I noticed too, that the website has been updated with the new menu info so you can start your saliva flowing before you break for lunch and 'pre-shop'. Prices and to some degree portions have been reduced: You'll notice the smaller prices, but not smaller portions. Same great food quality and service from an fine establishment that doesn't take itself too seriously, as some places in Nor-East do! Check out the breakfast menu too! Mondays after 5pm the Mini-burgers are $1.50 each if I recall correctly!

Much of what Mac's is all about is in the name; it's a neighborhood sports bar and grill, though the atmosphere, tap list and pub grub elevate it above your typical neighborhood watering hole. First things first, any respectable sports bar needs to have plenty of suds flowing on tap. Mac's has 25+ draught lines dedicated to primarily local and national craft beers, all reasonably priced (with generous happy hours to discount them a bit more). They've also got the standard macros available on tap or in bottle to appease the masses. Should you be feeling a bit peckish, Mac's has a very large menu of standard pub grub as well as more-creative-than-normal bar eats. Everything I have tried has been at minimum good, and some items have been very good. From the Three Pig sandwich (their riff on the traditional Cubano), or the famous Reuben to their Szechuan ribs, there are plenty of solid choices to fall back upon if looking for something beyond typical wings and burgers (which also present a myriad of choices and are solid). The atmosphere is comfortable, there are plenty of TV's to watch the game and there's usually a strong neighborhood contingent there socializing at any given time. And unless you used to work at the distillery I doubt you've seen more Grand Marnier bottles under one roof...
