Great place to hang out and play Nintendo, Atari, board games, etc. Awesome root beer on tap, and a decent little selection of tap/bottle beer. Fun place.

I liked the visit here and enjoyed their beers. My friend that lives near there had heard that the beer was brewed by Schell, but no one seems to be sure. Rush River IPA was on tap as well as an assortment of their craft brews and a root beer. All the beers were decent to fairly good with no duds in the bunch. The Atari’s and 8-bit Nintendo’s by the couches were a nice touch. Overall, worth a visit, but it would be fun to know who actually makes their beers.

Interesting little neighborhood bar. Lots of *Chatterbox* beers... all pseudonyms of various Schell offerings. A couple of local seasonals- re - summit - . Plenty of couches and lounge chairs for a comfortable and laid back atmosphere. Old school board and arcade games abound. The service knows very little about the beer they serve but are friendly enough. Really not a place to seek out, but if in the mood for some MN local brews (sans Surly) and in the neighborhood, worth a peek.

A coworker friend of my wife suggested this to us as she found out I was a beer aficianado. This was an unexpected find as she mentioned to us that this place had their own beer. I had not heard of this through ratebeer, so naturally, I was skeptical. As we entered I saw an interesting tap list including Rush River Bubblejack IPA, Youngs Double Chocolate Stout, Fullers ESB, as well as a bunch of Chatterbox specialty beers (IPA, Belgian White, Abbey Dubbel, Brown Ale, and Maibock). I asked the bartender who made these beers and he told me Point brewery. I ordered the abbey dubbel and it was pretty decent. However, when looking to enter this as a rating, Point does not make a belgian abbey dubbel. My guess is that the beer was Schell Snowstorm, as the bartender also mentioned to me that it was a winter seasonal. Still, I was somewhat impressed with this little dive bar having a pretty decent beer selection. The ambiance was also kind of cool (eclectic) with a diverse crowd and people playing interesting board games and arcade games, popular in the 80’s.
