“ Met up with some friends here before a Monday night concert at the State Theater. We sat at the bar. I ordered the old fashioned named "they not like us" which is timely named after Kendrick Lamar cleaned up at the Grammys. Then I also ordered a burger with good morning burger which included a sunny side up egg, bacon, cheddar cheese, and aioli...no bun and fries. It was delish. The fries are worth it because I'm pretty picky on my fries. The bartenders/servers were friendly and attentive. The only hiccup that night was an unruly local was causing a disturbance and being rude to the staff...Sophia and the other bartender handled the matter privately with grace and concern for other patrons. Kudos to the staff. ”
“ Better value and variety elsewhere.... I THINK NOT!!! I think I need to just say great service and ambiance- SPECIALS, AND AGAIN, THEIR SERVERS-- you could NOT ask for more!! For whatever reason, I remember their cute pencils and paper pads at the tables, AND, I say again... VARIETY!!! YUM! :D ”
“ I stopped here to get some dinner and a drink after seeing a show at the Orpheum Theatre. I ordered a Gingerale and their bulldog Burger. The place seem to have a fairly relaxed sports like atmosphere. Just a small intimate bar we can get good bar food. The burger was pretty tasty and the fries came out crispy and hot. Would recommend this for a good late night snack. Four out of five for a bar. Service was fairly good and there was very little waiting for my food. ”
“ This is one of my favorite local spots so I have been quite a few times. The dry rub wings are my go to and I love their fries as well. My friend came once and ordered the chicken sandwich and has said it was one of the best she's had. Overall the food is good and decently priced. The place isn't usually super busy and service is typically quick. ”
“ Best bar food in MN! Cheese curds are best out there even to state fair. And their burgers are incredible. One of my most visited restaurants in MN. My friends and I love this place ”
“ The jalapeño popper burger was great and the fried pickle appetizer came with a lot. It was a convenient place to go before the Orpheum! ”
“ THEY ARE BACK!!! This location had their grand RE-opening earlier this month and out of all of The Bulldogs, this one is my favorite. The atmosphere is lively on the weekends and chill on the week days. You can tell people really enjoy coming in at anytime of the day. The staff is extremely friendly and personable. I alway appreciate the conversations and attentiveness of the employees. They are the best. My go-to foods are the Bulldog Wings (dry rubbed with the Thai chili sauce is the best), and the Hand-Cut Fries (I highly recommend the truffle oil!). Whenever I bring my best friend to The Bulldog, and we order the truffle oil fries, that first bite puts a smile on our face. So good! Drinky Drinks! They have a wide selection of drinks! I love their Cherry Rhubarb Cider! It has a sweet and tart tang to it. They have a nice selection of hard seltzers too. I like the Florida Seltzer brand: Prickly Pear & Guava and their Blueberry. The Blood Orange Hard Seltzer is amazing too! They also have various beers on draft and in cans as well. If you are looking for a spunky, fun place to have a barrel of fun with you friends or just to kick back with a couple of drinks by yourself, The Bulldog Downtown is the place to be. ”
