Lyle's is a classic seedy dive bar, yet everyone loves it...Why?!? Because the drinks are cheap, strong, and easy to come by. Lyle's has the famous 2 for 1 any cocktail most of the time. And ANY means ANY cocktail you want, any booze, whatever, and its worth the extra .50 for top-self. Lyle's is actually a favorite in uptown and is frequented by the slightly more alternative crowd. Everyone is usually really nice and talkative. Lyle's has a small game room in the back. However, don't come here if you are looking for something up-scale or fancy. Lyles is a classic bar and is determined to stay that way, even if it means patrons must only sit on 70's red vinyl booths and be put at the mercy of whoever should plug the jukebox (but don't worry, the music here is exceptionally well picked and variant). Overall, don't expect much besides good times, well poured cheap drinks, weird locals, and a pounding headache in the morning. Its one of our favorite happy hour spots in the city. PARKING- you can usually find free parking along Hennepin Ave or Franklin Ave at night. There is also a lot in back.

Lyle's rocks. Best crowd, great service, cheap drinks and comfort food. GREAT and I mean GREAT place to watch sports. I agree with the previous poster who says Vic is the best bouncer of all time. :)

Love the food, staff, juke, drinks and smells. Best dive o.a.t. don't talk to the black guy with a motorcycle helmet on the bar. Victor is the supreme bouncer.

Its hit or miss with this place. Methusela waits on you and she makes you wanna die, or betty bangs waits on you and you get everything instantly and with a smile. Skinny blonde gives you 27 minutes to decide what you want to drink then passes you off to blah blah blah. Just like any other place you go to. I gotta say though, you shouldn't have to co-ordinate your bar going experience with who's working just to avoid them. Over all...I think I'll be going there tomorrow night heres hoping for a good time?
