Chris TrewOctober 12, 2011A cool Seattle type place in a Minneapolis neighborhood with a Miami vibe. Very Atlanta.
elizabeth mackeySeptember 18, 2011Where we spent many an afternoon, early on in our relationship playing pinball. Before we had our own pinball table.
QuinteinApril 12, 2017Very dark place but goof place to grab a few drinks. Men's restroom only has urinal stalls FYI
Do a pinball bar crawl here, at Gestalt on 16th, and Zeitgeist and Delerium.
L Y D I AJuly 29, 2010Shutter--once a month awesome 80s industrial dance tunes. Think the Cure and Depeche Mode. Dress your finest and shake your ass on stage.
Fox BarrelMay 12, 2011The Fox Barrel Pear Cider is fantastic! Fermented using 100% pure pear-juice and Gluten-free!
Pinballs aren't well maintained and all the sounds are turned off 😞
V-Ness LittleNovember 11, 2011I think it might be a special for tonight only (Thursday, Afrofunkalicious) but $3.50 for a red stripe
Dalton CrosthwaitNovember 7, 2011Saturday night = Soul Night! Best time to be upstairs on the dance floor.
Amanda MarkellNovember 16, 2013This place is pretty crowded. One could say there's not a lot of "elbow room"
- Kim OwensOctober 19, 2012I've seen too many bands here to count, but the stand out shows, all in the 90s, were Catherine Wheel, Soupdragons and Garbage.
Jesse AtkinsonDecember 31, 2013Cash only. Very busy. Decent vibe. They jack up the music way to loud the later it gets.- Nicole CookAugust 22, 2011Next time... Dont forget to check in at dragon well.. :(. Sara, wAtch out your mayorship is in jeopardy.. Lol
Maggie MasonMay 8, 2009Is it between 5-9 p.m.? Settle in for happy hour(s) at a very chill Elbo Room. ($2 draft pint, or $1 off drinks) Leave with a photo booth strip to tack on the fridge.
Pedro Couto e SantosMarch 1, 2016Nice place, but in all honesty, I don't really like music that loud.
Smoochella ScrumptiousFebruary 2, 2014Hope this place stays the same and doesn't let gentrification ruin this wonderful place. #MissionNative
Fun place to hang out at... And one of the bartenders was so so so nice!
XiulungApril 14, 2013The start button on Galaga seems to be stuck. I settled for Ms Pac man like a chump
Sam VSeptember 20, 2011Went there to see the live dubstep advertised...and found a dj, playing dubstep. Pretty wack
Natalia VasquezFebruary 6, 2012The short fugly bartender won't accept that the customer is always right don't tip jer
