The 508 is one of the biggest restaurant spaces in downtown, with 2 levels to mingle in. Guests are greeted with a welcoming urban decor, large booths, spacious ceilings, and high top tables that encourage socializing. The 508 specializes in its bar food. Heaping plates of gourmet sandwiches, pizzas, and salads are the norm here. Fresh cut fries, homemade breads, everything is fresh at the 508. They also have one of the best beer lists in downtown, featuring over 25 import and specialty taps.

The 508 is also a great sports bar. With over 15 large HDTVs strategically placed around, you can always catch the game.

One of the first things the new owners did was hire a great bar staff. These seasoned bartenders have created a fun and interesting list of cocktails and martinis that should have no problem pleasing even the most picky of customers.

Want great lunch? The 508 serves up great lunch specials and specialty sandwiches every day of the week!

Want a killer happy hour? Come snag a giant booth and mingle after work.

Dancing? On the weekends DJ's play fun dance mixes of rock and Top 40.

A little something for everyone at the 508.

THRIFTY TIP: ALL Taps just $2 5:08-5:30pm | $5.08 Lunch Special weekdays!

Fun! Not a "sceney" as a club but more fun than a bar. Downstairs has a great DJ and you can chill out and get food upstiars.

Great place. Good food, decent prices. Dance space is large with a great layout. It can be very crowded yet still easy to get around and to the bathroom. Great looking people, not trashy like some other places. Would rate 5 stars if drink specials were better. Can't have it all, though.

Excellent food, excellent service, great place! The 508 bar is comfortable and chill during the week. We sat in a big booth, had great cheap appetizers, and just relaxed. I would like a bit more interesting music selection, but I guess satalite radio is the best thing you can get in most bars in downtown Minneapolis:P

Bar is great! I took a Limo from my ride transportation and the bar was a great fit to the night! Classy!
