This place is huge and seems like a good place for a party. I'm not a beer drinker so I took a flight of beer to try, and found that I loved Porter. However, we came too early before any food was served and we only had some sort of gardettos to munch on. I'm used to Asian style beer gardens where there's always something more substantial to munch on in order to not get too drunk too early. 🙂 I see in other people's photos they had burgers or fries with their drinks though, so maybe in a more prime time, it will be a better experience for me.
Wicked Wort was a cute place. The bartenders were very pleasant and the space was very big! Lots of seating options. I dabbled in the IPAs and wasn’t overly impressed but they could’ve been a lot worse. The AI-IPA wasn’t as hoppy as I was expecting.
i won’t lie, i loved this brewery from the moment i walked in. it’s just got everything you could ask for. great atmosphere with tons of seating inside and out. staff is friendly, upbeat, and fast. it was busy the whole time i was there but they still rocked it out! the beer is great, they have a solid mix and everything i tried was great. they have a simple food menu but the value is great, and the food is actually good! plenty of parking in the back. bathrooms were clean. it’s 21+.
Been here a bunch of times. The beer is generally nothing to write home about and the atmosphere is pretty uninviting, feels like an oil change place inside complete with the pit in the middle.
We used to end up here after visiting the now closed Pig Ate My Pizza that was next door. The location was convenient for a easy date.
Now that we have a kid, I guess we won't be back given they don't allow children? The place certainly isn't good enough to justify paying a babysitter. Being exclusionary seems like a bad way to run a business, especially in this economy.
Expected good drinks and food but sadly it was disappointing. First, the lack of signage once walking in to led you to figure out where to order drinks and food versus where to pick up food isn't clear and on opposite ends of the building. Trying to find a menu I went by the food side and a staff noticed my searching and helped out. However, there was only one menu at the bar and QR codes were only on 1/3 of the tables. So back to the other side to order food. Ordered ciders, raspberry hibiscus and wild apple, each were very dry and bitter. My brother wanted potato kegs, happy hour special not on the menu but those were out. I ordered fish and chips. I don't know what type of fish they served but each piece was about the size of three McDonald's chicken nuggets put together. First bite was ok, the next I got some thick rubbery hunk of something I couldn't even bite through - I couldn't even break it with my hands - some cartilage or something. Oh, and they didn't have tartar sauce. On top of that, you then have to bus your own dishes. This place was lame, you have to do nearly every job yourself here and they have the nerve to ask for the tip right when you first order. Certainly any place where I have to do half the work isn't worth 20%, this place I wouldn't recommend any more than 5% because the only work they do is a bartender taking you order and a cook mystery food. Skip this place and go to the bird cage next door - I've never been disappointed there and regret trying this place. Oh, I must not forget, this is a dog place as well, so factor that into you visit and in my option pets shouldn't be where you dine on food.
Passed by this spot on my evening stroll, decided to stop in for a couple brews and a burger. I was not disappointed. Got the double stack burger with tots, would recommend. Simple yet flavorful meal. Bartenders were nice chill gents and recommended solid choices. Ordered the blonde ale (#1) and the nature boy (#9), they were fantastic. The grub and the brew coupled with the ambiance and service, 8.8/10. Will definitely be coming back.
Holy cow, what a place Wicked Wort is on a Friday night!!
My buddies and I wanted to visit WW for a number of years, but it's a long drive from home, and therefore difficult to visit without "some reason" to do so. On this night, we visited WW because we were interested in the rental portion of their space, which is their basement space. We're planning a reunion of U of MN friends, and need a space such as what is offered by WW.
Though we ended up not renting the basement space for our reunion, we did spend the entire night having a blast at WW!
On this night, there were 12 beers on tap, and I drank a fair chunk of them that evening. Standouts to me were the "MN Made IPA", their "Peace Porter" (hints of chocolate!), and their "Hazy with a Chance of Clarity" which was a delicious NE Juicy hazy IPA. All were very good. My fav, though, was their "Showgirl Raspberry Wheat" which was outstanding. A raspberry wheat beer?!! Sure! It worked.
However, it was clear that WW is more than just a brewery to drink beer at; It was packed on a Friday night, and a solo singer performer was cranking out good live music in the corner. The clientele was young (21 - 30ish) with lots of wedding bachelor/ette parties going on. People were LOUD and ready to party! There's lots to see and do at WW, and on this night, it was clear lots of romance was in the air! People wanted to PARTY.
It is loud when it's crowded. The space is large and has the feel of a country western movie, with a large hole in the floor to look down on the brewing process. That's super unique. Again, the clientele is pretty young, and they drink and party hard at WW. I felt lots of hook ups happen at WW! No judging, just observing!
Overall, a solid 5-star for the fun facility, good parking in the rear of the building, super fun clientele, large and expansive beer menu, food available, and the live music that we listened to when we were there. I just wish it was closer to home! Negatives: Loud loud loud. And rowdy. And loud.
Beer was fine but servers are unfriendly with zero customer service. Don’t go there if you plan to use a Hop Passport, they won’t honor it. They also rudely charge you for a bag of popcorn after they hand it to you. 👎
Best kept secret in Robbinsdale! Great beers!! Nice seating both inside and outside. The vibe a chill bartender knows the beers! Food although simple is delicious and pairs nice with the beers. Prices are great! They even have live music and all sorts of fun board games you can play. Pull tabs yes they have them too!
