Great!!

Really good, Juicy Lucy's and Beer are always a good match! We'll be in again. Try to park on the street closest to the tap, otherwise it might take a while to cross with the traffic.

• Pros: Juicy Lucy
• Cons: Parking

5-Star Bar, 3-Star Menu

by cubfanbob

First off, don't get me wrong: I love the Groveland - good beer selection and great atmosphere, it's what a neighborhood tavern should be. That being said, be careful when you order food; several of the menu choices are uninspired at best and disappointing at worst.

Case in point: on my last visit, I was surprised to see that the Tap was now serving a Juicy Lucy. Having had great Lucys at other locations [Matt's, 5-8 Club, Nook] I was intrigued enough to give their version a try. Big mistake - the inside of the burger was almost raw and in several places the beef had an odd chewy consistency.

Next time, I'll just stick to the bar.

• Pros: Beer selection, atmosphere, clientele, very family- and kid-friendly
• Cons: Mediocre menu, parking can be scarce

Favorite Twin Cities Bar

by harrisfolk

Laid back, lots of fun. These reveiws are pretty old on here, so I'll recap: Went no-smoking prior to Saint Paul ban even going into effect, so that problem's gone. The new menu highlights a ton of favorites and I think includes a fish 'n' chips now. Great beers on tap, including Summit EPA, Summit Grand, and Summit Seasonal. Locals know all you need are the Summit beers and Premium, which is also available. Great french fries and cheese curds - expect a wait for dinner Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night - they have gotten VERY busy and popular. Still worth it though. The best element of Groveland Tap is the atmosphere, just the best place to have beers and yuk it up with your pals. Highly recommended.
