Best Darn TapHouse In The North
Northern Taphouse is the place you have been waiting for. A little bit of the city in our suburb. This isn’t another fake atmosphere, cookie-cutter, mall parking lot national chain…this is Minnesota. It’s casual, inviting and fun, whether I’m out on a Monday to watch the game with the guys or getting brunch with my family on a Sunday morning.
