Grumpy’s Downtown is a rock n roll bar with decent bar food and some surprising taps. They have all the usual suspects that one would expect bars in MN could carry from the craft scene. Bells, Surly, Summit ect. However, they have 4 or 5 taps that rotate that usually end up being pleasant surprises. There’s been times I’ve walked in there on some random weekday night to a keg of Founders Black Biscuit or rare Stone barrels. WTF? they usually also have different firkin’s on Fridays, which is cool. Food selection is large and above average for bars.

Decent beer menu, but nothing special. Beers are very expensive. Service was friendly. Not a good ambiance, dirty but not like a good dive bar, but high prices that are not justified by the neglected interior. Not nearly enough beer to be a destination, and Town Hall is just down the street.
