A quiet bar over in the heart of the Warehouse District of downtown Minneapolis, Runyon’s definitely has a major thing going for it: its buffalo wings. An online review that this writer came across referred to the wings as so good, they caused nocturnal emissions. Despite unpleasant imagery, truer words were never spoken. These wings are amazing; they have that perfect balance of spice and flavor that is actually a lot harder to obtain than one might think. Sadly, there appears to be a lack of specials, but the food can make it worth it. The décor and atmosphere is very dive-bar-ish (in a good way of course), and it is worth mentioning that the staff is friendly and courteous and the crowd is the typical young bar-going type. In other words, Runyon’s probably will not surprise you, if you’re used to this kind of environment. However, the wings might. Definitely a place to go if you like your chicken in wing-form.

Growing up in this bar was a blast with my family owning it. Now being older and not having it be in the family is a bummer but me and my friends still enjoy going there.

My boyfriend and I go to the same places all the time to eat so we thought we'd check out this place. First of all, we were super dehydrated from a long bikeride and our server/bartender kept out waters coming. Second, he was real nice in general to us and our food hit the spot. Thanks!

While visiting relatives we went to Runyons who had the best buffalo wings and buffalo shrimp around. Need to have a better choice in Margaritas did not have frozen margaritas.
