Reviews for Merlins Rest Pub in Minneapolis, MN
The food is delicious and the portions are well sized. The prices are reasonable. If you get the Brussel sprouts, makes sure to... get the bacon, it's worth it. The restaurant is clean with a relaxed fun atmosphere. The live music on Saturday nights isenjoyable and the acts are usually very talented. The service is very good with the right amount of attention without hovering.Parking along Lake Street can be tight, but there is always plenty of parking on the side streets. Read more
Turns out, Tuesdays are Trivia Nights here. Ye Olde Trivia Master kindly let us play, though we missed the first half of the... game. AVOID Trivia Night if you do not like articulate bellowing. It is a very wonderfully decorated Pub. They had a greatbeverage menu and a wonderful selection of British food. Obviously, I was in it for the Scotch Eggs, which they offered with orwithout blood pudding, and cold or hot. May consider trying to blood pudding ones next time! I didn't get many great photosbecause I was super inebriated, super quickly. Had a wonderful server who served me Summer Sangria wonderfully. Scotch Eggs.A+. Would love to go again and eat more.

My food at the Merlin's Rest was pretty decent. I got a 3 piece fish and chips malted and wrapped in a paper as well as bright... delicious little peas and some pure coleslaw. The food was good. I enjoyed it. They gave good service offering to fill my drinkplenty. I will go there again no problem. I look forward to the chill environment. Read more
My family had a celebration dinner here tonight and had a great time! The staff were perfect, very cozy and comfortable pub. All... of our food was absolutely perfect!! Between all of us we had the fish and chips, smash burgers, bangers and mash, a pasty, andanother sandwich. Everything was excellent!! Will definitely eat here again especially for the smash burgers and fish and chips!We didn’t order drinks but the drink menu also looked very very enticing, we’ll have to order drinks next time! Thanks forthe great food! Read more
Great British pub close to downtown Minneapolis! Stopped by on a Friday night with a group of five. We were seated immediately... on the bar side. The drink menu features plenty of draft beers, from England, Ireland, and local breweries, as well as cans andbottles. Huge selection of Irish whiskeys and Scotch. Service was slow but our server, the younger gentleman with long hair, wasexcellent! Our group tried the Scotch Egg (warm), Fish & Chips, Irish Stew, Celtic Knots, and the housemade Crisps. Everythingwas pretty good. I especially enjoyed the Irish Stew though I wish it had come with some sort of bread or roll. Portions mightseem smaller (a great thing in my opinion) compared to some American pubs but they are definitely filling. Draft beers areavailable in a half pint which is a dream for "lightweight" beer lovers. Recommend for an authentic pub experience; if I livedcloser this would definitely be a regular stop! Read more
Simply an awesome Reuben, and try out the ginger beer, yes it does contain alcohol. Great atmosphere really comfortable.
I visited Merlin’s rest pub on a Tuesday evening. It was quick to get seated and service was really fast (even though the... server and bartender kept apologizing for being slow, it was faster than a typical restaurant). I had the fish sandwich andwould definitely recommend it. It was good fresh and also good as leftovers the next day. I look forward to visiting again. Read more
