Notes: Town Hall Brewery is a brewery and restaurant featuring world-class beer, fantastic food, and an atmosphere worthy of both. It’s a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself.
We’ve been crafting great beer at Seven Corners in Minneapolis since 1997. And through hard work and a bit of luck, we’ve picked up quite a few awards for our efforts over the years. In fact, we’ve been awarded more medals at the Great American Beer Festival than any other Minnesota brewery.
We’re proud of all our accolades, but the best ones don’t come from a panel of judges – they come from our customers and friends. Our beers are brewed for real people and individual experiences. We’d love it if you took the time to get to know them for yourself.

Visited the brewpub for dinner of 1/30/10 during a trip to Minneapolis.
There were three of us in the group and came around 6pm on a Saturday. It was crowded but not packed and we were able to be seated right away. We were seated in the back right next to the giant windows looking into the brew house in the section between the mash tun and boil kettle. For me the seat was great as I love to stare in at brewery porn. The only downside is we were in a direct path of a cold draft every time someone opened the front door which the two women in my group did not appreciate. The ceiling was really high which added to an open not crowded feeling.
The drink menu was separate from the food menu which I prefer and had a nice listing of both their in-house beers and a nice selection of guest taps. The food menu wasn't overly huge but had some interesting selections. I settled for a half chicken ceasar salad and opted to turn it into a wrap which was a nice option. The beer was served quickly and when we had finished a pint the server was quick to ask if we wanted another. The wait for the food was average meaning I was almost done with my first pint by the time it came. My wrap was decent but not spectacular and my wife and her friends said their food was pretty good as well. A decent value considering the three of us ate and drank for about $75 including tip. My only complaint about the service was that after the dinner it must have taken 15 minutes before the server noticed that we were ready for the check.
This was an above average brewpub experience any time I'm in Minneapolis I'm sure I'll stop in as the beer was well crafted and the food was a good value. I'd say it's a must stop if only for the Masala Mama on cask.

Visited on a recent work trip to Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Tried the following:
Minneapolis Town Hall Masala Mama IPA (draft)
Minneapolis Town Hall Black H₂O Oatmeal Stout (draft)
Both beers were top-class examples of their respective styles. Tap selection offered something for everyone. Had the Beef Short Rib with Mac & Cheese to eat; it was delicious. Lovely dark wood bar/pub atmosphere in here with a few games on the flat screens. Service was fine as my drinks and food arrived in timely fashion. Waitress didn’t engage, however. My overall experience was very good, and I would likely come back.

Located in Seven Corners, a local hub for alternative theater and in many ways the cultural crossroads of Minneapolis, between the sports arenas of downtown Minneapolis, the law and business schools at the U, and the undaunted diversity and counterculture of Cedar-Riverside, the Town Hall Brewpub is the neighborhood anchor of good beer, good food, and good conversation. Inside is a lovely old world pub. Or you can watch the people of Seven Corners from the large sidewalk seating area outside, Minnesota weather-permitting.
There are 20 Town Hall beers on tap, with great variety, including a nitro dark beer or two, barrel-aged specimens and cask-conditioned choices. There are also several guest beers and ciders on tap, and a full bar. Town Hall beers can be purchased in growlers and half-growlers for takeaway.
Food menu is gastropub, with good local and (perhaps Cedar-Riverside-inspired) ethnic choices. There is a children’s menu.
There is (rarely) street parking, but pay lots and a garage are nearby.

Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery is located in the West Bank, Seven Corners neighborhood of Minneapolis. I attended the University of Minnesota years ago, but I wasn't into craft beers then, so I didn't visit Town Hall until this past weekend. I live in California and only been back to Minnesota a few times, so it was a treat when I had time to visit.
It's a nice, old-school tavern type atmosphere. Dark wood. They had seating outside. The server was friendly and welcoming. They had an extensive tap list.
For a long time, I've known about Masala Mama IPA. It was a nice IPA. I'm glad I visited. I'd like to come back when I'm in Minneapolis again. I also wanted to visit Surly on the same day, so I only had a pint here.
Until next time.

Little late for lunch so got an appetizer of poutine. Solid but light on the cheese curds. Service was very good but it was very quiet. Would be a great place to visit for beers when it is busy though.

toped here on a Wednesday. Got a flight of the flagship beers; the Masala Mama did not disappoint as it harkened back to what the craft movement was about 15 years ago. Really nice venue with decent pub grub and a great selection of their own beers plus a few guest taps.
