I was here a few weeks ago, but just though I would post a review.

The atmosphere is really nothing special, it almost seemed like a fast food restaurant where we were sitting. We weren't exactly there at peak hours either, so I suppose that could have had something to do with the atmosphere. The main thing is that there were 32 taps. So many styles to choose from with lots of locals and regionals, as well as some nationally distributed stuff. If you can't find something to drink at this place then you just don't like beer. The service was decent, the server didn't really know shit about beer but she was willing to get us samples of stuff instead, which is alright. The food was good, I had a beef and cheddar sandwich. It wasn't the most amazing thing ever but it sure hit the spot. The prices were pretty awesome as well since we were there during happy hour. Overall, if you're in the Twin Cities this place is worth a stop.

Beautiful aged bar right on campus where you will almost never find a stereotypical college student except for gameday. For the most part, the students that frequent here are genuinely looking for good beer and not always looking to get hammered. Their prices and pours of their rare beers are generous. Their selection and rotation seems to get better every year and their food is typical bar food, but still very good. It is well priced and they have a couple takeovers each month, but do not seem to hype them up like other places do. Definitely the place for people looking for craft on campus.

This is a college bar. They do have an above average tap list. I did not try the food. Seems like a good place to grab some beers, but I assume it gets slammed with college students during the school year. Was a bit grimy, but that is how all crowded college bars get.

The bartender was attentive. I never had to look for service.

When my son went to The U, we were regulars at Stub & Herb's. Very good beer list, slanted primarily to local stuff, and excellent food - the burgers and fries are outstanding, IMHO. Just a great college bar/restaurant that happens to serve some really good beer, including hard-to-get local one-offs.

A college joint filled with college kids. When the kids are around its loud and energetic - sometimes too energetic. When they are not around, it can be dull and somewhat depressing.

Visited on a summer Monday at 6:30 pm. Place was slow. Just off UM campus. There are definitely better beer bars in the twin cities. Walk to surly less than a mile away.

V - Typical dark and dank northern latitude bar. Definitely beer is part of their focus but not particularly beer centric. Curious as to how often the taps rotate based on their rather permanent looking beer menu. 3.5
Q- All beers in shaker pints (-). All the glasses look clean. 3.5
Sel - About 35 on tap with BMC in bottles. A good selection focused on local brews - Surly, Indeed, Steel Toe, Fulton, Lift Bridge, Summit, Bent Paddle. Also a sour on tap. It was summer so only one stout on tap 4
S - Staffed by university students. Friendly but distant. 3.75
F - Ordered the bleu burger which was good. Fries were pedestrian. 3.5

Only thing I didn't like about the place was the dungeon bathroom that gave fear to possible transgressions against my person.

Stub and Herbs had the atmosphere of a aged pub in a trendy location, featuring an above average tap list and one of the best music selections I've experienced in a long time. Bartender was boring, slow and depressing, and a below average happy hour takes away from an awesome pub. The company surrounding my party was superb and makes me interested in what a busier night would look like. One to check out but until I investigate further it is not a pub I will be frequenting.

Located in Stadium Village - it's the best bar in the area. But, that isn't saying much still. Full of kids who don't know how to drink but it's stadium village so it's pretty quiet (in the summer, during the school year, ultra annoying). Cool lighting and seating - ol' fashion bar aesthetic.

The bartender gave me a free drink for not having any belgians in stock and he gave my friend a free beer since he was in the service.

Pretty good selection for the area. No one matches at least for a few miles.

But the people... Gah...

My favorite Beer Bar. Rotating taps, and lots of them. Great Grub - Fries are out of this world, pretzel buns are fantastic. Burgers and Buff Chix Sammy are mouthwatering.

Busy on Gopher Game Days.

Reagan the bartender is a boss. Waitress that use to be there looked a lot like T. Swift, which was nice.

Stub's is my favorite MN beer bar. They have a ton of rotating taps, beer savvy staff and they make a mean burger. Have had the opportunity to go there' for multiple release parties for things like Darkness and KBS among others. Their atmosphere is definitely that of a college bar but as long as you aren't expecting a fancy place, it is a lot of fun.
