People talk
“ Surly has great beer, and the staff is awesome. I have never had a meal there, but the number of people eating speaks to the good eats, I think. Tours are affordable and fun, and in warm weather, the whole complex is abuzz with activity and people enjoying the local brews. Last time I went, they were decorated for Halloween, and that was super cool. ”
“ Stopped by Surly Brewing after visiting the Ice Castles in St. Paul for a beer and supper. It is a cool Beer Hall with tons of seating and lots of artwork and lights. The beer list is extensive with a choice for everyone. My favorite was the nitro coffee ale. The menu had lots of different pub style choices. My favorite was the brisket queso. Service was fine, we were a bit put off by the guy at the front door. He was very awkward and not welcoming. Our server was decent. I'd like to go back when the weather would allow for outdoor seating. ”

“ Popped in here while visiting MN and we were so glad we did! It was an early Sunday evening. They had fires going on outside and so many beers inside. They did have pizza which we wanted to try but had eaten. It looked delicious!! I loved their gift shop. Whoever is designing their clothes is full of fun ideas. We left with several tshirts and stickers. Bar staff was very knowledgeable. We weren't sure what to order . They had some great suggestions. ”
“ Surly absolutely delivers on all fronts. The Hog Frites were a standout--packed with flavor and an absolute must-try. The Mac and cheese was a little too rich but still delectable, a perfect comfort food option. I also tried the Cuban, which was really good. While it's not the best I've ever had, it's definitely worth ordering. The space is absolutely amazing. It's spacious and warm, even though it has an industrial vibe, plus it has an incredible amount of seating both indoors and outdoors. Whether you're there for a meal or just drinks, the atmosphere is hard to beat. To top it off, the service was super fast and friendly, making the whole experience seamless. They also typically have events going on, which makes the visit even more fun. Check out their event calendar to align your visit with something that interests you! Surly is the kind of place you'll keep coming back to--great food, great vibes, and a great time every time. Highly recommend! ”
“ Checked out surly last night. I hadn't been here in a while only because we live near NE Minneapolis and there are so many great breweries to choose from. I was unaware but it was their 10 year anniversary so they had some special things going on, like the owner was there and made a speech and handed out free furious. They were also doing raffles throughout the night. Which was cool. My husband and I grabbed a beer while waiting for our table. I had the grapefruit supreme, which was good. And I tired my husbands darkness which was also very good. They were doing flights of their darkness (imperial stouts) for their 10 year so we did try one of those as well. They have a limoncello one that was a little different, but not bad. We ordered the brisket queso and it was good but it was a little salty. They had a Xmas pop up bar upstairs that was reservations only but we were able to peel in and check it out. It was gremlins themed which I thought was cool that they picked something a little different from the norm. Service was great. They do have parking available. And it's a really big place. I do know in the warmer months they have a really great outdoor space as well. All in all, I would recommend visiting if you like good beer and a welcoming atmosphere. ”
“ Got surprised by my wife with the lunch spot being another pizza joint I've been wanting to try. First the I'm your daddy, this was great, nice char on the edge to give some bitter notes to complement the sweetness of the honey. It had a nice airiness and undercarriage with wonderful chew. 2nd was the Don't feed them at midnight, exactly like a jalapeño popper pizza should taste. These were both homeruns! ”
“ I would strongly recommend checking out Surly - especially if you have the chance to go during the warmer months when you can spend time outside. It's big enough that you can usually find a spot, even for a bigger group. Food is decently priced and actually good(!), and the order via mobile to table service is pretty quick, too. I wouldn't necessarily go there to eat if I was in a big rush, but there is a tap beer line where you can order directly from someone instead of your phone, too. Picture: Taco Al pastor Chips and guacamole ”
“ This is a cool space. It's a restaurant so it's family friendly and there's a ton of variety in seating options. They do take Reservations but not when there are big events going on. We had an ill-timed visit during the ganja games which attracted large crowds and caused a lot of confusion. The outdoor seating allows you to order from QR codes and makes splitting the bill easy with big parties. Overall the food was good, the ambiance was great, and we'll be back but we'll check their calendar of events first! ”
“ The food was good and a good portion to share with friends! There needs to be qr code at the tables outside too. ”
