“Great food, atmosphere for days, friendly help, reasonable prices.”

The Hungry Road★★★

In the Minneapolis area for work and some of my friends that live here swear by the Dragon Wings at The Loon! So, I checked them out and let's see how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: The Loon, being one of few long-time surviving restaurant/bars of downtown Minneapolis keeps it charm by having that old school vibe. There's neon signs scattered all over the walls, tons of sports memorabilia and just possess that old tavern feel. I can dig it! I mean this place has been here since 1981. Lol. It wasn't very loud when we came since it was like a Wednesday night or something, but it was easy to ta

I’ve been here many times, but for some reason haven’t revived the place. The Loon has a long history and is a perfect spot for lunch or dinner before a game (or without the game)! They are friendly, super efficient and know how to handle a crowd, plus the food is always good and is a great value. Add the atmosphere and local history and you’ve got a winner. Next time you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by The Loon!

Get a grape ape or don’t go at all! Just kidding! This is one of my favorite bars in MSP. I frequented the Loon after work when I worked in the NBA, and it was something special to come back after all these years and see its charm and success unchanged. The atmosphere and energy here is always on point and the bar staff is quality. The food is just fine, no complaints. I highly recommend wetting your whistle at the Loon when you’re in the Twin Cities. Preferably, with a grape ape!

I have only ever came here for the Grape Apes, since they are the home of the drink. The staff has always been terrific.
