Cardinal Tavern

Decent burgers...they have a long list of burger variations that are all mediocre. Tots are awesome though!!

Kind of an odd and short beer selection, 3 lighter beers, Stella and a special on a Goose Island IPA when I was there for Sunday football.

Overall a cheap sports bar I'd probably go watch football at again..

After arriving at MSP Airport, I told my business associate that I was hungry. He took me to the Cardinal Tavern for a late lunch. I was blown away by the food and the service.

At his suggestion, I had a Juicy Lucy burger. This is a big, fat, juicy burger patty stuffed with cheese. One of the things that I really appreciated was the fact that it WASN'T loaded with all kinds of toppings (although I wouldn't have minded a slice of raw onion). This is a burger that can stand on its own - and it stands TALL indeed.

The fries were hot and scrumptious. The iced tea was very good, too. And the service was prompt and friendly.

The atmosphere is, well... it's a bit of a dive. But who cares? The food is killer. If you're looking for a hip, trendy place, you'd probably want to look elsewhere. But if you want a burger that will knock your socks off, the Cardinal Tavern is your place!

Absolutely loved this place! FOr the Pub Crawl, we got two pitchers and on Wednesday, it is 50 cent Wings day! HH is from 4-6PM and they have $2.5 baskets of onion and rings and other delectable bar foods that go well fro the drunchies!

The drinks are pretty cheep ($9 pitchers) and it was the fullest of all the bars that we went to on a Wednesday.

The service was the best part! The bartenders were so nice and played 80's music for us since we were in our 80's gear. I would def. come back for another pub crawl!
