A true hipster joint, the Chatterbox Pub is located in South Minneapolis, right off Cedar Avenue on 35th street (can take 55 south and exit to the right). The interior is decked out in 80's classic style. Sit and enjoy a long list of beers while playing a table-style pac man or other classic arcade games and Atari 2600 or board games. The music is very similar to the decor, and although they obviously didn't spend too much on the design, it all seems to fit together in perfect harmony. The Chatterbox is a popular place with the nieghborhood crowd and serves excellent bistro style food and upscale pizzas ($8-12). They also have an extensive wine list. Its worth a visit any night, especially for late night eats, the Chatterbox serves food until midnight.

Went there yesterday. Had the worst service ever. Our waiter simply pointed and asked "Beer?" He never cited what they had to offer. He kept doing that to us every 5 minutes, whether our glasses were close to empty or not. Where did they hire this frat boy wanna be? I wound up getting a pretty mediocre meal, and the food was pretty bland at best. I heard this place used to be pretty good, I didn't see it. Oh, this was the one for Cleveland in Saint Paul. Maybe our waiter is used to the one word college crowd on Saturday nights. Dude.

The beers are amazing and the prices for them are really "Thrifty Hipster"! Late night is half off after 10pm!! They have a brewery specially brew them for them so that we can have great beer for a great price. Who else does this?? The guy who knocks this doesn't appreciate how cool that is. The staff has always been so personal and genuine, like friends that maybe he just doesn't understand the differnce between fake polished robots and people that think of you as a real person. Try their pizza!

The "homebrews" are actually the beers from point brewery rebranded as their own. Not really homebrew.

The Chatterbox is a formerly spectacular bar in need of a serious overhaul - and honestly - they actually seem as though they are TRYING to fail. For example: -Until recently - served awesome beer, including an American Belgium named Golden Monkey. Despite its popularity, they pulled this off and other popular beers off the menu to encourage sales of Chatterbox home brew - which is absolutely atrocious. -I overheard someone try to order the French Onion soup. Snooped on the waiter's response - "Yeah, we stopped carrying that. A lot of people liked it, and request it, but we just stopped." -Happy hour Monday-Friday...from 2-5pm. Great - let me leave work an hour hour early and race down to get half off your sh*t beer. -Ever worsening service, including just last night where we spent about 2 1/2 hours - 45 of which we didn't have a drink in front of us, and 45 of which we had did have dirty plates in front of us. We got the check right away - but had to nearly tackle someone to take it. -Second to last time we were there - no one else in the restaurant, and so I asked to watch the Twins game. You'd think I was asking for the waiter's f*cking kidney with the hassle he made me feel like I was putting him through. Honestly - before I'm accused of being souless - I used to recommend this place up & down to anyone who would listen - and absolutely love the concept and atmosphere. Whoever owns and/or runs this place - please - sell the Chatterbox to someone who will run it the way it deserves to be run...
