A Bar of Their Own: Reviews & Ratings
I was there last night for the Gophers WBIT Semifinal game and the Elite 8 games. It was a bit quiet since it's a Monday and they aren't usually open on Mondays, but it was still a great time watching Women's Hoops with other Women's Sports fans. Anna and Ian were great bartenders and although I only got sides/desserts, everything was great and came out in less than 5 minutes. Great place to catch a Women's Game, look forward to coming back for the championship game on Sunday! Make sure you try the Sporty Spritz - delicious. Watch out though, you can rack up quite the bill quickly here since each drink is 7 - but well worth it since they are paying their staff living wages and sourcing their drinks from primarily Women/Minority owned brands.
What a wonderful place!! Love watching March madness games after going to the Frost game! The staff were all so nice and the nachos were to die for!! We will be coming back!!
We had a top-notch experience! A Bar of Their Own is a beautiful space with a warm, inclusive energy, that’s evident in the staff *and* the clientele, that you just don’t get at a typical sports bar. There are so many intentional choices throughout the space that make you feel welcome, safe, and right at home. We loved seeing the posted conduct code, the community partnerships highlighted on the menu, and seeing all of the values-aligned brands on the drinks lists! Everything from dome softball to gymnastics to basketball playing on the TVs Our server was excellent - friendly, attentive, and high energy (even toward the end of the night on opening day ). We had the brownie with ice cream and the fried pickles - both were awesome! Excited to be back soon for HH and dinner and to see how the concept grows, evolves, and makes our community an even better place. Obviously....big recommend!!
Such a cool bar. Super friendly service. A couple good vegan options, clearly marked on the menu. Very inclusive, living out their (very good) values. You should go.
There's no better feeling than watching your favorite women's sports team in a room full of people that are cheering them on as well. Add in a delicious menu and this is one of our favorite places to be in the Twin Cities!
Yummy tater tots. The turkey burger was good too. Caught part of the Lynx preseason game. The joy of the MN womens football fans was delightful. Glad to have a place that I know will have the Lynx on multiple TVS. Also, they now have two sturdy outside tables roped off for customers. They built barricades and added used old hockey sticks pointed upright to delineate the space. So cute!
What a wonderful establishment! The staff members were friendly, the drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere makes us want to go back again! Loved seeing all of the Pride decor as well as the unique drink menu to celebrate the LGBTQIA community! The parking is decent if you can get there at a good time, but it's nice to have it so close to the light rail!
10s across the board! I was able to check it out opening weekend! It’s clear this bar is built with love and intentionality. Had about an hour wait, but killed the time by visiting nearby businesses! Everything from the service, food, and drinks was spectacular! Even though it was busy we got our food quickly and we were checked in on frequently. Jillian, the owner, was putting in the work and on the floor mingling/working with the rest of the staff. It was amazing to experience a safe, welcoming, fun environment to enjoy women’s sports. If you live here, this should be your new neighborhood bar. If you’re visiting, this should be on your MN bucket list. OH, and for my fellow celiacs the menu had SO many gf options!
