“ For a bar type vibe, this place had great food! Highly recommend the Korean BBQ skewers. I'd never heard of duroc pork, but it turned out to be really tender, flavorful and with a peanut sauce that was the perfect pair. I also got the Pickled Fried Cauliflower that came with a curry aioli. The cauliflower was awesome, but that AIOLI! You can get fried cauliflower just about anywhere but the dip really made this dish. I was surprised to find Pat's had non-alcoholic options, and good ones! I landed on the St. Agrestis Amaro Falso which had a balance of bitter and sweet with a bubbly finish. Really fun drink to try if you're AF. Overall I give Pat's Tap 5 stars. We came for the food, but next time I hope to try out the skee ball and stay a while. ”
“ We love Pat's! The vibe is cool, the food is surprisingly elevated and so yummy (the fried rice is my favorite, but everything is good), and the bartenders make you feel like you're part of the family. This place is a gem ”
“ Stopped in Pat's Tap after the wait at Hola Arepa was far too long. We opted to sit right at the bar, though there were several tables open. The bartender was great--friendly, helpful, attentive. I got the Pats Burger and my partner got the fried chicken sandwich. Honestly, it was just solid bar food. The burger was tasty, perhaps a bit well done for my taste and the chicken was spot on. Both of us thought the fries were crispy and salty! ”
“ My friend and I stopped in on a whim the other day and were blown away by the great customer service. I have been a couple times to eat and have a few drinks in the past but was finally pushed to write a review by the great service we had last time. The food is good - think American classics done well without much of a price markup despite the beautiful neighborhood. Street parking is often busy so plan to walk up a block or two. I had a jack and Coke and my partner just had a soda but the bartender checked in on us continually, answered our questions about the menu, and invited us back for when their new skee ball machines arrive - and we will definitely return to play! This place features high top seated tables, a beautiful patio with low top tables seasonally, and bar seating as well. The place is usually at least 50% full but has a good following of local people and service industry workers. Every drink I've had here is poured well and delicious - even their craft drinks all the way down to rail pours. Thanks to the excellent bartending staff! ”
“ Love this neighborhood bar!! Burgers & cheese curds are recommended, and they have trivia night every Wednesday at 7:30 that's a ton of fun! It's not trivia mafia, which is great imo ”
“ What a fun South Minneapolis hidden gem! The ambiance is that of a dive bar, but the food is actually bomb. And the vintage skee ball is 10/10! Pat's Tap has a very classic midwestern menu with some fun twists like "currywurst" and the "Bloody Mary sandwich." Today I had the small BLT chop salad, a fried chicken sandwich, and mini donuts for dessert! The small BLT chop salad was my favorite part of the meal, with bacon, iceberg, tomato, cheddar, French and ranch. It was SO delicious and the homemade ranch was 12/10 for sure. Service was awesome and we had a super helpful waitress that recommended the mini donuts for dessert- so good! ”
“ I recently went to Pat's Tap for Happy Hour and it did not disappoint! For about $20 for 3 people we got: 2 drinks, fries, cheese curds, and pretzels. I mean...come on. That's a hell of a steal! I loved the fries and thick sauce, as well as the smoked ketchup. The pretzels were slighly overdone, but still very good! I'm definitely going back. Notes: *Parking: This was the hard part. With current construction, it's difficult to find a nearby spot. Luckily I was able to grab one right out front. Just know this ahead of time. *We went on a Monday around 5:00pm and there was plenty of seating. ”
“ Pat's Tap is your local bar: ample space, friendly faces and a lovely patio. I stopped by because they participated in the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Challenge. I got the Southern Country Fried Seitan sandwich ($14) and loved it: beautifully-breaded seitan, an excellent bun and fresh ingredients overall. The shoestring fries were also fabulous. I hope the vegan sandwich remains on the menu permanently, because it's awesome and there are few places in the Twin Cities to get a vegan fried chicken sandwich. Pat's otherwise doesn't have any labeled vegan options, so this sandwich feels like a huge leap in the right direction. If they added a vegan breakfast sandwich, I'd stop by every week. ”
“ We had a City Tin coupon which brought us to Pat's Tap. What a lovely local restaurant. We got the last table outside. Their patio is very inviting, cool and shady on a hot summer night. I chose the Harissa Chicken sandwich with homemade chips and an Urban Growler De-lovely stout. All very good. Husband had the BLT salad with chicken. Quite filling. Service was good. On street parking was a little busy but we found a spot around the corner. I needed the little walk after eating all that food anyway. ”
