Nomad World Pub

November 21, 2008
Much like the Triple Rock down the street, not really a craft beer bar. Sure... the occasional Surly and Bells... But what other place in town doesn’t carry those. Cool patio in the summer.Awesome place to drink some Guinness and watch some World Cup Soccer, though. Not a ton of taps, and lacking in the bottle selection, it’s a decent enough place to stop on the Towh Hall-Acadia-Blue Nile-Zipps West Bank Run.

I can’t help but compare this to the Milwaukee version of the Nomad. The Minneapolis version diefinitely avoided my biggest complaint about the former -- the crowd here was much more down to earth, almost blue collar, and seemingly more genuinely Bohemian (as opposed to the Bohemian wannabes in Milwaukee). However, the beer list is a little weaker (and Milwaukee’s ain’t great). Still, it’s pleasant enough, and the "beer culture" is good enough, that it’s worth a stop if you’re in the neighborhood. And they did have a coule of Surly beers, so that’s always good.

A cool place to hang out in the African neighborhood on the West Bank. When I was last there, the taps were Sierra Nevada Harvest, Schell’s Dark, Surly Furious, Summit EPA, Hoegaarden, Murphy’s Irish Stout and several macros. Very decent selection of Belgians and micros in bottles as well, with a more than ample supply of PBR in cans for all the indie rock kids that go there for the shows.
