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.

I've been going to Lyle's on the weekends for years. The best happy hour in town plus a great atmosphere. I have seen complaints posted from people who have gotten thrown out. The only people I've ever seen get thrown out are d-bags who are hammered and bothering people. I've never had problems with any of the staff, it's a great place to hang out.

9 out of 10 times, I love this place. Cheap, filling food, great drink specials. I was there last night, got one round of whisky cokes, it was fine. 2nd round, they tasted disgusting, I'm pretty sure the coke syrup was running out, and I tried explaining that to the waitress. You could even see how clear they were compared to the first round. But she was like, yeah, we've had a couple complaints about it, but they're nothing we can do, I even asked the bar manager, blah blah blah. So I was like, well, can I get something else, or can you not charge me for these cause I'm not gonna drink them? And she said no, cause it will come out of here pay check. So I was kind of annoyed I had to pay for a round of drink I took one sip out of.

Love the food. Love the drink specials. Hate the management. Those dicks wouldn't let us put a ball game on a tv screen no-one else was watching anyway. The reason they gave," we don't like baseball." Lame.
