What People Are Saying About Matts Bar

Citysearch

In Short – From the outside, Matt's looks like just another dark, old neighborhood corner bar sporting faded Grain Belt and Bud signs. Inside, it's just a long, skinny bar with a row of plain booths and a jukebox featuring the standard mix of classics. But legions of sports fans, families and locals make regular trips down Cedar Avenue to order thick, handmade burgers stuffed with bubbling, salty cheese and nestled against a heap of hot fries.

by supermaya at Citysearch

a hot summer night, got to Matts bar with my girl Jordan.

its a neighborhood bar, and we didnt know anybody, people looked at us like we are from the moon (cuz we are so pretty, but thats fine). the bartender was lame, and try to get my number, no thanks!

we had the Jucy lucy burger and fries, not bad.

but, after all, cheap beer, and my best friend, its all i need!!!

  • Pros: cool beer:)

Awesome Jucy Lucy's!

by nenechan at Citysearch

Go there for the Jucy Lucy's! Two thin patties stuffed with American cheese fried on a never-been-washed flattop grill. Your choice of grilled or raw onions, no other veggies (lettuce tomatoes etc) available. What can be simpler? Wait staff is friendly, but don't forget, you're in a neighborhood bar so don't give 'em any guff and you won't git none. It's hard to get more Minneapolis than this!

  • Pros: dive bar awesomeness
  • Cons: gets very busy

The real deal!

by fuzzy67 at Citysearch

Not a wing joint but a magical delight known as the 'jucy lucy'. You have to experience it. Cheese, meat, cheese - beautiful.

  • Pros: Jucy lucy & great fries - COLD beer
  • Cons: no wing equivalent
