NE Moose Bar & Grill

Tonight I went to the moose for the first time although I've been a Minneapolis resident for awhile. I had the chicken sandwich with ham and onion rings that were actually pretty good. I had a couple friends with me that had a couple other dishes featured in the pictures.

Been to the Moose a few times, first time for Brunch before Art-a-Whirl. Large helpings, good service, and always interesting goings-on, the Bingo was starting - would’ve been fun to stick around d for that.

The atmosphere is fun and lively. Great music if not a bit too loud on one side of the bar. The food was delicious and the support person who brought it was very attentive. But the main reason we will be back was the amazing service of our bartender/server Kari. She was awesome and helpful and definitely cared that we were enjoying our experience.

The food and service are far beyond what you would expect. I’ve been coming here for many years and never had a bad meal or bad service. Drinks and food are reasonably priced and it’s a fun place to come to for lunch or dinner. Sit inside for karaoke or on the patio for cigars, it’s a great place.

Have been to The Moose for breakfast and Wednesday bingo (1pm) a couple of times. The breakfast portions are huge, it’s good old fashioned comfort food. I was encouraged by my buddy to try the Bloody Mary- it’s almost a breakfast unto itself. The 1 pm Wednesday Bingo fills the place up with retirees like me; it’s a fun and friendly atmosphere. The World’s Friendliest Bartender never let my my diet soda run dry.

Great Neighborhood bar. You get a different part of the neighborhood depending on what time of day you stop by. The food is always AMAZING, with specials that change pretty frequently along with daily specials you can depend on. Lots of dartboards, a great bar bingo (not for sure on the times so I'll let you check out their website if that trips your trigger) and karaoke seven days a week for the late night divas. Check it out, if you don't like it I'm gonna just assume you probably don't like a lot of things.

They have the best nachos here! And dance lessons are starting soon...🤩

They trip me out with this 1" head nonsense on the beers.. I ordered a cider one time and they didn't fill it.. told me that there was a 1" head. But there's no head on a cider. It's not that big of a deal but, it is though. I'm being shorted on my beer. I just got handed one that was over 1" and it's like .. why are you guys like this .. I feel like I should also mention that they only let in people they know after 1am .& Don't be wearing a sweat suit or sweatpants if they don't know you. They won't let you in..

Last time I was there. Bloody Mary great. Hamburger was great too. I would like to check out the spaghetti.

I've been many times, this time was damn near awful. Felt like I was back in Iraq with the WARZONE I had to go through to get a Busch Light. Stood at the bar for about 30 minutes while servers did double takes for people. Whatever, Sick. Wouldn't let my buddy in cause he was wearing joggers past ten? Wild. What is this Bar? Church? Who wears Jeans? Paid the bouncer after lengthy negotiations with the owner. Wings were alright, got 7 which was an odd number. Left my vape when I got up to the bathroom, came back two minutes later, server definitely swiped that, Bonkers. Whatever. All in all the moose gets a 3 outta ten. Will be taking some time away.

This place is racist. I came on the slowest day and the doorman said "we can refuse service to anyone at any time". I went to my car so I could leave but noticed a gang of 5 white ppl who got in 1.5 hrs before close. If you are brown skin DoNotGoHere¡

Moose Bar & Grill is nestled right in Northeast Minneapolis, and it's been around since 2001. I've been here numerous times for Vikings games, special occasions, and happy hour. It gets busy often, so expect it to be crowded if you're planning to come here to watch a sporting event. What I love about it, is the character is has - it's the kind of place where many regulars continue to visit. You see every kind of person here which is fun to be a part of and be around. The karaoke is so entertaining and brings out all the joy in folks singing and watching from their tables. I also enjoy their drink specials during Vikings games and daily specials - my favorite being their rib dinner for $14.99 on Wednesday nights from 4pm til they're out of them which includes their pork ribs, steamed veggies, and a baked potato. For me, it's an ideal size to share, but someone could easily eat an entire dinner by themselves. They also do 2-4-1's from 1-2pm on weekdays, so look out for that. They also do late night breakfast from 10pm - 2am and I can't say I know many places that offer that. They have a huge parking lot too, so no worries about not being able to find parking which is rare for Minneapolis. Feel free bringing groups here. What I'm not crazy about, is how mediocre the food can be at times. The wings are so hit or miss and I wish I could rave about them all the time. When they're good, I'd suggest their garlic buffalo (saucy), cajun or Moose seasoning (both dry rubs). Wings come with celery and ranch or bleu cheese. I've had occasions where the wings are great and occasions where they've been cold, like they came from the freezer and hadn't fully thawed. Pizzas are the same in that it's variable and the cook can be inconsistent. Don't get their bruschetta or chili either - so disappointing. The bruschetta was gross, to be frank. It's certainly not an Italian place, so another reason I wouldn't order it. Service can take awhile too, both at tables and at the bar, but I'm understanding about this when they have a lot of customers.

Great pizza!! Fun night of Bingo, too!! Excellent service!! We played Bingo on Saturday. It was a nice group so the pots were decent size. We didn't win, but it was fun.

The Moose is a very fun bar to hangout at in NE Minneapolis! It has plenty of space, great wait staff and plenty of parking! There is karaoke on the weekends which added and extra layer of fun! I also ordered some wings for an appetizer and they were pretty tasty! Would recommend!

Dear BIPOC community of Minneapolis I do not recommend the Moose Bar and Grill. There is perisent racial profiling with a stupid policy of no sweats after 8 PM. Again and again, I see my African American friends being turned away while white ladies go in with yoga pants. I have been a regular here for a long time and tried to give ownership the benefit of the doubt. But do the math all the bouncers are white and this dress code is targeted towards a certain demographic of Minneapolis. We have the power of the purse. Perhaps the owner will figure this out in time. Boycott the Moose until then.

Don't come here if you're a man or a non-stick thin woman during a Friday or Saturday night. The bouncers are notorious for finding excuses in an ambiguous and selectively-imposed "dress code" to only let in their aesthetically-desired customers. Discriminatory and downright creepy. Plus, despite the cheap price on the drinks, it's still not worth it due to their relative lack of strength. Definitely do not recommend for a weekend night.

Do better, NE Moose Bar & Grill. You sucked last week. During a family reunion in Minneapolis, a few of the younger generation wanted to go out for Karaoke, a fun night out and to get a feel for the city night life. Unfortunately, security at the door was immediately hostile, obstructive and non-communicative. Beginning with the struggle to understand how an Indiana ID works, the group was refused entrance, told they were aggressive for asking why they weren't allowed into the bar and treated horribly. Despite having several amazing days enjoying our gorgeous city, this incident at NE Moose Bar and Grill left everyone (including the Mpls family!) with a bad impression. I won't be back, I'll share my opinion widely, and I don't recommend anyone bring their awesome out of town cousins to NE Moose Bar and Grill! May I add that the group was in their mid twenties to early thirties and included a middle school math teacher, a special ed teacher, a medical student and two video production professionals. Hardly a difficult group.

I LOVE COMING HERE AND PLAYING BINGO. All my adult kids play with me and I bring my Service Dog Loki and he is adored by everyone. Thank You for the Awesome place.... So much fun!!

We've been going here for 10 years. Last night was the last visit. there was a heightened alert of security causing an unsafe vibe. We witnessed one guy ask security to watch him walk to bathroom, and witnessed fights break out with folks being choke held and escorted out. Front door was blocked off and cops outside. Had to wait 40 min to be able to exit. There was a lot of sketchy behavior all around with a lot of innocent, uncomfortable and many oblivious bar goers. We had a group of 6, from all different backgrounds and genders. We all felt unsafe. 2 of my friends got pushed around from the fights that broke out. Watch your surroundings inside and out if you do visit. Otherwise, avoid and take business elsewhere.

Reading other reviews made me want to write this review as I have had similar experiences there. For being in NE Minneapolis and the Twin Cities in General, this place seems very hostile towards any type of diversity. The first time I went there. I have never felt more uncomfortable at a bar. We started going to Spring Street across the street and now are regulars there as they have very diverse employees and customers and treat everyone with respect.

Women running karaoke is mean to guests and turns off their microphone to do a solo show. Tells guests they can't sing karaoke.

The best thin crust pizza in northeast Minneapolis, actually the best pizza in the twin cities. Only old world pizza in IGH comes close or the now closed Savoy on 7th downtown St. Paul. Great crust, sauce and toppings!!! Side note, the staff is always good. The owner is outstanding!!! The wings are the best as well other than smoked wings ( Smokey's forest lake). Great homemade ranch at the Moose!!! Club sandwich and homemade soups!! You can not go wrong at the Moose!!

Denied entry due to wearing gym shorts. Was told wearing gym shorts was not allowed inside of their bar. Unbelievable.

Yea so they got a no hood rule... Do not try them. Security needs to chill. Great food though.

Since when do they have a line. Bartender didn't even know when we would get it. I'm upset.

So it started out fine the menu looked good! I ordered the fried mushrooms not so good, they were too big and they were undercooked still hard! We got the wings but when we asked can we have two different kinds they said yes but then upcharged us $2 dollars for two different kinds! We ordered hamburger/beef pizza (1 topping pizza) then they brought us the Cheeseburger pizza with pickles we have an extremely picky eater, so we sent that back and waited for about 30 extra minutes for that to be ready! The pizza ended up being good though. We ordered a drink and asked for the price $5.50 (reasonable) and then we ordered top shelf long island, well it ended up coming to us wrong according too how we ordered it, then the drink was still not made right, then they ended up charging us $18 for top shelf long island. where do they charge $18 for a long island?! On the tab it said they charged us a double. Then charged us for dipping sauce for the wings! Originally they gave us the wrong tab that had the wrong pizza on their and then when we were showing the waitress the tab she snatched it out of our hand! They upcharged us at least $13 so watch out for the extra charges thats how their able to have cheap prices on their menu cuz they get you on everything else! And they don't show prices for drinks on their menu! So don't let the prices fool you, you'll end up paying almost $75.

Need more bartenders during bingo it's slow to get drinks if your not right up to the bar but it's packed. Other than that love it there and food is amazing.

A bartender asked me to leave at 9PM because I didn't have an id. I was eating fries and drinking an iced water. When I said "ok can I go get it from home and come back" he yelled at me and all my friends saying he saw me drink. We were a group of mainly POC and being yelled at by a white man on a power trip for trying to comply?!? I saw him let in a white woman with a photo of her id and when I showed mine he said that's not allowed...? He said I can come back tomorrow and told me to get out immediately... so yeah if you want to be treated like shit by men on a power trip 10/10.

My boyfriend and I tried to go in late at night around 12:30am on a Saturday (6/12/22) and weren't allowed in. I have been there many times late night and have always been let in, but this time my partner came. He is light skinned with dreads. I seen some white girls let in so I was thinking okay.. they are still allowing people in. Let's go. As we approach the door I hear the security guards saying don't let them in, and they tell us they're not allowing people in. As we're leaving we see people going in and security checking ID's. I had family members across the street at Spring Street bar, and we had left them to go over to Moose. When they denied us, we left to go back home and they stayed there at SS. Later on they sent us a video of them at the moose at 1:30am, but we WERE denied entry. No reason given neither. I've gone alone as a female and have had no problems, but when I go with a POC w/ dreads denied entry. 0/10

This place is a wonderful spot to hang out for great food, great service, and great servers. I haven't had food here I didn't like, and I have never had bad service. Maddie is such a rock star, she is always on top of things, very attentive, serves with a smile and good for a few laughs. I know when I'm looking for a good meal and great service to stop here, they won't disappoint. Today I tried teriyaki chicken tacos and I wish I had gotten another order of them, they were just that darn good. I'll definitely be getting those again. Kudos to the moose for always giving me a wonderful experience!

Well who woulda guessed this place would have such tasty food & great service. I was quite surprised at being able to get a veggie item-bruschetta- am glad I did cause it was really good. The table got tater tots cause apparently that's the thing to get & those were also damn tasty. Go figure. The karaoke had me cracking up yet some people are amazing at singing, This place is fun & loud so come w/ a group of friends & make the best of it.

The worst place I have ever been, I wont ever come back. The bartenders will yell at you, the servers will yell at you to move, even if you are standing in a corner, the drinks are over priced, the food is over rated, AVOID THIS BAR AT ALL COSTS

When happy hour is a rail drink for $2.25, It makes me want to give this place 10 stars instead of 5. A NE dive bar that is nothing short of awesome. Cheap drinks, the fact that you can order tater tots by the pound, karaoke at night, and bingo multiple times a week, what's not to love?! This is a great place to spend time with friends and family or to just be by yourself for an hour or two. They do have outdoor seating and a parking lot available. Otherwise, there is also street parking nearby.

Great dive bar for karaoke or just to grab a beer. Have had fun nights here, and have also stopped in for a bite and beverage. Food won't blow you away it's exactly what you expect it to be at a dive bar.

There are many things to love about any city, and the dive bars are one of them. This place has everything you'd want in a dive: -Cheap pours -Sticky floors -tots, wings, and more fried things -darts for an evening match -pull tabs to try your luck. There's a parking lot and easy street parking. And even patio seating - and perfect if you have a friend who needs a smoke break. Add it to your route, not every night needs to be fancy, sometimes you just want reliable + cheap.

It was a football Sunday afternoon and the place was packed with locals watching the Vikings game. I came here because, as an out-of-towner, I wanted to experience my first meat raffle. It was a success. After downing a Grain Belt and listening to the patrons cheer on various touchdowns, I ended up winning a $20 gift card to a local meat market (only paid like $10 in raffle tickets to get to that point). I'd definitely never complain if I was invited back to the Moose Bar & Grill, especially on a Sunday when they have $5 baskets of wings, cheap beer and meat raffles.

I came here with a bunch of friends for a celebratory event. We ordered plenty of booze and played darts, and sang karaoke. The service was friendly and good. Bartenders were friendly and accommodating for your orders. The atmosphere is fun but not chaotic nor obnoxious. Unfortunately when it came to the food I wasn't too pleased. I ordered some Ghost wings and got Buffalo wings with a tiny bit more of a kick. Not at all what I wanted especially for a heat freak like me. The Burger was just fine, not bad but not great. The burger I got came with bacon, tomato, lettuce and and egg. I personally love a good runny egg in my burger and thus burger achieves that. Another thing I noticed about the burger was that the beef patty is pretty thick so be prepared to adjust your jaw! Overall I had a great time there and made good memories and might make some more down tge line. But speaking in terms of food it's pretty average.

Went with my dad and had a solid burger. Been meaning to come around on a Monday for the comedy, but haven't gotten around to it :)

This place was a vibe. I'd been looking for a true bar around minneapolis, and this one definitely delivered. A cozy dive bar tucked away in NE minneapolis. We will be returning.

Only reason I'm giving this 3 stars instead of 2 is because Darian the karaoke host is awesome. Very friendly and attentive to EVERYONE. The bartenders, however, didn't even smile. Yes, it was a very busy night, but I'm a server in a busy place and I still smile no matter what. All the bartenders here on Saturday night never smiled once. I stood there for at least 10 mins with money in my hand, waiting patiently. 2 guys walked up next to me, which were served promptly. I even made a comment about one of their shirts, "I like your shirt. 'Who's Larry', that's cute." She gave me a snide look and continued on. (Still didn't serve me until I finally spoke up. I usually try not to ask, as they should come to me. I know their busy and don't like to interrupt, but I didn't feel like waiting any longer.) There was a server there getting her drinks next to me who was very friendly as well. But those bartenders need to learn some customer service and smile at least!!

I did not eat any food while here. I brought my own (special diet) and ordered a diet soda and water. They host bingo here on Sundays and friends had invited me to come out. Since I knew that the company was going to be wonderful, I was happy to go. Now, I have to admit that things felt dicey when I got there. Because of the neighborhood and the people I saw coming and going, this didn't seem like a POC-friendly place. My friends assured me that it was, so I felt less nervous about it. Bingo was a lot of fun and the service was ok. My friends ordered nachos and a burger to eat. The burger was a fiasco and had to be taken back to the kitchen, then still had more stuff to add to it after it came back to the table. The kitchen staff might need to brush up on the menu so that they get it right. There were no complaints about the nachos. I will probably come back for more Sunday night bingo.

If there was less than 1 star, I would surely give this establishment / shot hole a O. They denied my (African American) friend entrance for wearing "sweat pants". However, they allowed myself (Caucasian) to enter with exactly the same type of clothing. We are so disappointed in this place that we would never even consider returning or advising anyone else to spend money at this garbage bar. It also smelled of bleach / stale beer & urinal cakes. We will not be back & may god have mercy on their souls.

Last week we had a 40th birthday party for my brother. It could not have gone better. The management was easy to coordinate with beforehand as we were expecting 40+ people. In the end, it ended up being 55 people or so. The server was amazing. Never did anyone have to wait too long for a drink from her. And she had a great attitude throughout the night. Aside from our party, I like the Moose's karaoke because it's a good crowd but it's not too full. So people can sing at least a couple of songs without having to wait 30 people in between. And the food is just some good ole' bar food.

In regards to the complaint that went up about patrons being offended by other patrons of the NE Moose bar and grill...I ask, which is the harder thing to do..write negative reviews about a place you've never been, reviews that threaten the very livelihood of the staff this family run business employs(about half of which are minorities and some of whom fall into the LGBTQ community) or make a simple call? I didn't go on Yelp and bash a business I don't know... This is a bar that is very near and dear to my community in NE neighborhood. Before I rattle on about the positive they have done I would like to say I spoke with the owner of the moose this afternoon, during that phone call he found out who the responsable part was for the exchange and informed him that he was no longer welcome in the bar. All it took was a phone call...it didn't take a boycott, it didn't take dozens of people that have never stepped foot inside this bar to write a ton of bad reviews....it took a 10 min phone call...and the opportunity for a wrong to be rectified. How many of you placed a phone call, how many of you attempted to give the owner the opportunity to respond, to correct the situation...to provide coaching to his staff??? The owner of this bar supports every NE person black white purple or green...if you knew the moose you would know this... if a family member of yours were to pass away and they weren't able to financially provide a luncheon or space for that the owner of this bar would likely donate space for your family to gather, whether he knew you or not. If you had a family member or yourself were ill and you needed to do a fundraiser to raise money for your medical bills he would donate a space for you to do that he would most likely help with food either with a discount or donation or donate kegs of beer for your fundraiser.. The owner sponsers an all men's gay football team Does polar plunge every year and supports countless other NE organizations. What happened the other day is terrible, but the handling of it wasn't great either, the handling of it made more room for Destruction then it did provide any room for coaching and for a fair response. If you wanna boycott boycott but I suggest you stop in and see for yourself what the moose is really about. A space for community to happen. I was upset to see this place called racist and homophobic...because I am a woman of color, and also fall into the LGBTQ community and I along with many in that same category have felt love and acceptance...hell some of us have even met people we now date at this bar. Racist and homophobic couldn't be farther from the truth. I hope you will all take that into consideration when you write your reviews.

Taste wise the food is o...not for the price though. I ordered a large pizza, onion rings, and mushrooms and i paid about $60 (that's including tip). We got our food delivered, so keep this in mind, but all the food was cold. The cheese on the pizza wasn't even melted and half of the onion rings still had the hard skin on them. So, if you're looking for cheap and decent food, I propose you look somewhere else.

Sweet place for a good drink with a cool vibe. It is our go-to place on Friday night. Cheap stiff drinks, good food, friendly staff. Best in NE

Decent food reasonably priced. Shifty clientele.

Wednesday nights have a meat raffle, BBQ Rib special for $10 that my friends said we're the best ever and bingo! The deep fried mushrooms are the best I've ever had! I also tried the shrimp pasta dinner that was really wonderful. I was planning to save half for lunch for the next day and ate it all instead. The drinks are awesome, the servers were busy but very attentive. This place seems to have constant activity. I saw advertising for daily lunch and dinner specials, karaoke etc. plenty of parking. I think it used to be called Moose on Monroe. Definitely a northeast Minneapolis treasure and I will be back!

It's great to know that you can be welcomed as well as have great company, the staff is amazing drinks are cold and they have Karaoke

I love this bar. I haven't even received my food yet and I'll be back. Huge menu, awesome spicy bloody, a ton of games, pull tabs, even my favorite draft on top. I'll be back tomorrow!!

It's a place people go to hide. The best thing about it is walking out the door. Great staff, awesome bingo Really sad environment might need Prozac with your drink. I just love the waitress. P.S. plug your nose

Normally we really enjoy their pizza and we order take out and maybe if I was in the mood for a pizza that I didn't order it would have been alright. Before we ordered, I said that I didn't want anything too out of the ordinary (for me) so we ordered the meat lovers pizza. I believe that the waitress place our order correctly but our pizza was delivered by someone else and went to a table two away and we received theirs. I would have thought that after our neighbor got the wrong pizza they would have halted everything and tried to find out what went wrong but alas, we got their pizza. There was a minor regret from our waitress for the mix up and she offered to make us another pizza for another 20 minute wait. Our table decided to give the wrong pizza a go since it was served and we didn't want to wait another 20 minutes. Maybe that was our mistake for taking the pizza but I would think there should have been some sort of way to make it right like maybe a discount because we didn't get what we ordered? Maybe a free appetizer? Or maybe an apology when our checks were delivered?

I'll tell you what- Brittany - small town charm coupled with big town efficiency! Such a wonderful experience! So glad we came in!

The moose is truly a gem. There are not many places in the city you feel like you're in small-town Minnesota. Their specials are great, ranging from 2-4-1's to $2 almost everything to $3 almost everything to $2.25 happy hour. You can always find something going on - a meat raffle, bingo, karaoke, pull tabs... the good times never stop. You'll often find folks on a pub crawl or a party bus stopping through, adding to the variety of patrons there. The moose is my go-to for all of those "what should we do" nights. And it's never done me wrong.

If you like dumps this place is for you. If you need to take a dump I probably wouldn't go here. The food was good and the bar tender was sweet. It was a total sausage fest. Probably won't find a date here unless you're looking for a dude.

Poor service and the food was not good at all. Very disappointing because I used to enjoy the Moose experience.

I was here on Monday August 17, 2020 for dinner a few beers and a little gambling. I had the WORST service from the bartender which unfortunately was the only person working the bar and serving. She was ill-mannered and pompous. Her behavior was cold and downright foul. I had a friend I wanted to buy dinner for (he was a Minneapolis Police Officer). She scowled at me "we pay for all their food all the time". I was so taken back by how rude she was as I was trying to do something nice for someone. Not only did she overcharge me, she tossed my beer when I walked over to get pull tabs in her words "because I left". I was gone for an extreme short period of time. After I asked where my beer was, she yelled at me and told me I was cut off. I was not near inebriated, nor do I ever drink to that point. I was friendly and in a great mood. I gave her zero reasons to treat me with such hostility. I cannot imagine the pool of candidates for bartenders are so slim they need to employ anyone of this caliber. I would suggest NOT spending your hard earned money at this place.

THE MOOOSE THE MOOOOSE.......... Sure enough, there is Bullwinkle on the wall, in all his mooseness. Everyplace needs a theme, right? So MOOSE it is ! I've been here a few times, as it is a little over stumbling distance from Daughter's place. I really like it here because I don't have to worry about what I am wearing, my hairdo, or my makeup or lack thereof. This is probably one of the largest dives I've ever been in, in MANY states. Pure Dive !! So yes, here always seems to be the retired guy contingent at the bar playing cards. And all the planned events are typical. On a very large basis. Then there is the FOOD. After that, the STAFF. Regular bar food, with one H U G E exception ------- TURKEY BURGERS Best turkey burger in town. No extra charge. My server or bartender here has always been ultra nice to me. I love it when I go in a place alone and I get treated like royalty. Thank you, Moose on Monroe. O R D E R T H E T U R K E Y B A C O N B U R G E R
