Barfly is a multi-room club in Downtown Minneapolis. Dark and open, Barfly usually gets filled with the young club crowd, especially on the weekends when people flock from the suburbs. A while since being updated, Barfly still has a good sound system and seasoned bartenders that are at their best during the regular drink specials during the week. Music is generally dance music or top 40, however, they also do the occasional rock or Hip Hop show.

Upstairs is "The Loft", a space reserved for large concerts and private events. Usually home to international DJ acts and techno shows when they are in town.

The patio is usually a good representation for the inside of the club. You should never really have to pay cover if you call before coming.

This place is literally a dump. I have never seen a bar advertised as "upscale" yet appear like it came straight out of a truck stop. Some idiot obviously could not pass up on this awful space after the other club owners said no thanks. There is little to no seating, tables are sparse and you have to manage your way through the entire dance floor to get to the main bar. The bathrooms are atrocious and look like they have never been updated or cleaned. Last time I was there the toilet paper was out and they had people using brown paper towels. Pretty upscale huh? The people there can be OK, but only on a big night. It is normally pretty dead and there is a lot of trash and older crowd people who show up. Much of the staff is rude and belligerent...bartenders are assholes. The staff also hires skanks or fugly go-go dancers to prance around like drunk whores. The only reason this place gets 2 stars instead of 1 is that they have decent drink specials, which is their only draw.

I enjoy being able to go somewhere, dress up classy, and party with my girls without having a bunch of loser guys staring at us the whole time from every single angle. The people who go here are classy, which is why I enjoy myself.

I usually hate clubs, but this place was pretty awesome. I just moved here a few months ago and my roommate dragged me. Good dance floor, and the drink specials were great!

I love this place! It's nice to have a dance club where people dress up and actually DANCE! The drinks were good, the bar staff was very friendly and overall the atmosphere was fun. I don't know what everyone else was saying- I had a blast!
