Super chill atmosphere with reasonably priced drinks, and the best fries! Besides the 2 for 1's, my favorite feature is the digital jukebox. It's fun to see the kind of songs people choose. Very cool place to unwind with friends at!

I went during their late night happy hour (2 for 1 on all drinks and a VERY fair food menu) and absolutely loved the place. The outside doesn't give away just how spacious it is on the inside with a very large diner-style full circle (oval) bar in the front middle that seats probably 40-50 people. It was very packed but didn't feel crowded, loved the upbeat atmosphere, the bartenders were very homey and friendly. Great place to go solo or with a group of friends. Absolutely will be back!

My favorite place to go for a late night drink after a hard day, or a hung over brunch spot after a long night. Super laid back. Great staff. Food is always good, and they have a great happy hour with two for one drinks. I recommend the bloody Mary. One of the only places I will order a bloody. The wings are delicious as are the burgers, and breakfast is served all day.

One of my fave places. Great staff, great bar food and a nice selection of beers. They have a house brew on tap . . . Lyle's Brew. Sometimes i like a lighter beer if I am feeling fool. Goes down really nice with heavy food. Good crowd and they don't tolerate any obnoxious twatwaffles. Safe place for women alone or in small groups.

How do you even review a place like this? It’s an institution. Is it the middle of the day or the middle of the night? At Liquor Lyle’s you don’t need to know. This place is deals deals deals—they have a good beer list and the food is actually pretty good, especially when you’re in the mood for hearty helpings of dive classics. I’ve waited out snowstorms here, I’ve gone on dates here, I’ve had celebrations here—this is a place to go, order 2 for 1s, get the family size order of French fries, and live your best life.

Very reasonable prices and great happy hour dinner deals during the week! It's nothing fancy, but not a dive either. Kind of an out-of-style decor, but still clean and friendly neighborhood bar with two pool tables, some pinball, darts, a couple TVs,etc.

What a great bar to have on Hennepin. Technically a dive bar; but clean and not gross at all. Every time I go, there are interesting and eclectic people. A mix of business people, neighborhood people, workers, and everything in between. The bartenders aren't always the most attentive; but they get it done. And the 2-fer-1's are a great deal. Updated bar-food menu is what you expect, and always solid. Good spot to drop in for one (which is two), and do some people watching. Who knows who you might run into?!?! A Minneapolis must-visit.
