Tuggs Tavern

Nice view. Hard to beat the location, at least in good weather. The view from the outdoor deck is nice looking across the Mississippi to downtown. After a drink or two take a walk along the river. Nice. The drinks and food is serviceable. Reasonably priced. No real happy hour that I've found.…

Avoid the food and beware of the slow service. My boss and I tried Tuggs today for the third time. We both agreed that we would give this place "3 strikes" since the first two times we went we experienced service slower than a snail's pace, cold fries and even colder hamburgers. On our most recent visit, we arrived at 11:30am for lunch on the patio. The patio was less than half full at the time. We quickly placed our order. 45 minutes later the food arrived. My fishNchips were greasy and cold. My boss' chicken fingers looked bad and tasted worse. The server was slow and inadequate. This may be a good place for a cold beer on the patio after work, but avoid for lunch. It took us three times to finally come that conclusion. Beware, I was charged for each non alcoholic plain lemonade. I had two lemonades and the cost was $7.30 for the two. The diet coke included free refills, but at a cost of over $2.00.…

This casual stop for beer and darts has a nice feel and view.. In Short
This intimate window-lined pub sits a few steps from Main Street. It never really hops, but it is a pleasant place to meet friends for a couple of beers, darts and conversation, or to relax before or after a movie at the St. Anthony Main theater. It's especially appealing on a weekend afternoon, if you'd like to take a break from walking along the river or across the Stone Arch Bridge.…
