The Loon Cafe

The Loon is a good happy hour spot after work with good drinks and some of the best boneless buffalo wings I've ever had!

Awesome nachos , get the chicken chili as your dip . Also phenomenal pulled pork , literally the best I've ever tasted.

When I'm in mpls on work, I come here a beer before hopping on the lightrail. Right across the street!

Something for almost everyone. I recommend the nachos with the Pecos River Red chili .

The chili , always the chili , and sit at the bar . Dont forget the famous "Grape Ape".

I had the walleye tacos . Delicious. Something for everyone. Large selection.

Voted by City Pages as having the Best Chili in the 2010 Best of the Twin Cities issue. The Loon serves five types of chili , each unique and delicious in its own way.

Big. Plenty of bar space. Friendly staff , plenty of beer .

Pecos River Red is the classic, but they are also home to the Grape Ape shot , try it, you'll like it!

Dirty Pork bowl is a good chili , get the corn tortillas & toppings on the side

Bartender Brice does right by you. Best old fashioned I've had in a while!

Robbie is the best, most professional bartender in all of Minneapolis!

Tremendous happy hour . Everything is on sale including Guinness !

The chili is so good. Have to come about 5 times to try them all but worth it.

Amazing Chili . Great staff .

Be sure you are sober enough to make it down those bathroom stairs. If not, bring a friend. :)

Doctor Mint . Order it. Love it.

The dragon wings are very good; however, the beer selection is turrible.

Make sure to get the Diablo Chili , and when you do, make sure you save some toast to wipe up the last of the chili .

If you need it, ask for the handicapped entrance and restrooms . Join the fun!

The Habanero Benedict is amazing!

Kathryn's chicken salad is delicious! Also, the pinto 's diablo chilli is great on a cold winter day.

Chicken Chili or Chicken Fajitas for a healthy option .

On Fridays The Brisket Bar B Q Sandwich is not on the menu , but it should be on your plate.

Best turkey burger I've ever had...fries are awesome too

Pecos chili is awesome!!!!! No beans and has a fantastic flavor!!

The best bar food on Hennepin Ave

The Loon Café is one of my favorite happy hours in Downtown Minneapolis. $2.50 Margaritas and Dragon Wings ! The Spin’ Dip is also amazing.

You can't beat the Loon Cafe Pecos River Red chili on a cold winter night! Take a cup to go and watch the Holidazzle Parade ! Read more

New menu items! Try the buffalo shrimp !

Awesome awesome chili . But of course does nit compete with mine! Lol

The chicken chili is killer! Try a grape ape or 2!

Summer months order the greek salad . Winter months always the chili .

the Loon is our favorite lunch spot . We also lost count how many Happy Hours we had here...

Hot pastrami sandwich

order the Loon Burger . It's not the normal shape that you're used to. I don't know if the shape is the cause of the great flavor but that is a tasty burger .

Buffalo Style Chicken Sandwich

Mmm chili !

$3 grain belts all day every day..... Praise be parise!

Best soups and chilis downtown.

Beef brisket was disgusting! Couldn't even eat it and the smell made me sick. Chicken tacos were great!

When you're itchin' for chili , go Pecos River Red, medium, with an extra order of the Texas Toast on the side. Read more

They have food, beer , and cocktails here

Excellent chili !

If you're craving shots, order a Grape Ape.

Try The Grape Ape!

Get kathy as a waitress ! She's the best!

Do a grape ape!!!! Awesome!!

The chicken ceasar wrap was quite good.

Ordering a grape ape while you're drunk is like letting an actual ape punch you in the face, but in a GOOD way.
