Dangerous Man

The first review is in! DM has been a long-time favorite of Sam’s (maybe Shawnda’s too?). Keep in mind that we’ve visited this taproom many times, and it’s hard to not let our previous experiences influence our current review. But in a way, that’s great for you all, since it’s unfair to judge a place on a single experience (and that’s just bad science).

Date & Time of Visit: Wednesday 6/9/21 4:30 PM arrival, 8:21 PM departure...

The Beers:

• What are they known for: Peanut Butter Porter

• Flagships: PB Porter, Cream Ale, Chocolate Milk Stout

• Flights available, also multiple sizes available for all beers.

• Pricing: weird; they use a system of symbols instead of listing them next to the beer. But they are all reasonable prices.

The Ratings:

What we like:

🍺The beer! This is some of the best beer in the Twin Cities. It’s always interesting, even if it sometimes misses the mark. 

🍺The bartenders are friendly and honest. 

🍺Great spot to hang out with 1-2 people.

🍺Close proximity to Young Joni (YJ: Please keep your takeout options available!!)

🍺PLANTS.

What isn’t our favorite:

😟 Food availability is inconsistent. Bring snacks!

😟Parking isn’t great, need to be willing to walk & parallel park. Street parking is main option. Winter time sucks dick. 

😟Accessibility, tough to get to if navigating through NE.

😟 No games, limited table options for board games other than cribbage. 

The Atmosbeers Bottom Line: great beer, with unique flagships that appeal most to dark-beer and IPA drinkers. Decent atmosphere for a 2-4 person group for intimate conversation. Keep your kids and dogs at home and your coworkers…someplace else.
