Cuzzy's Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Minneapolis

Just here to respond to Erin Gadient's post below mine (sorted by date) because as a patron of Cuzzys, I could tell this person was going to immediately try to slander the place for their own shortcomings. I was sitting about 10 feet away when Erin grabbed the bar light hanging from the ceiling and yanked on it, shining it around like she was a spotlight operator in other people's eyes. A bartender saw this (as well as the entire bar) and said, "Hey, put that down!" to which this person did not. She blankly and in a drunken stupor just stared into the abyss and after a few Mitch Mcconnell stroke seconds, put it down. This kind of stupidity happens at all dive bars. What doesn't happen at all dive bars is that the person who just had to be reprimanded like a kid with bad parents at daycare, just does the same thing about 1/2 hour later. The bartenders and bouncers were obviously not pleased and asked her to stop. Honestly, trying to yank a light off the ceiling is grounds for getting 86'd from the bar, but it seemed like the staff was being very lenient. After the second time she was yelled at, she threw what I'd like to call a drunk rich girl temper tantrum, to which everyone at the table around her basically disowned her. And now here we are, writing opposing Google reviews because apparently nobody has told this person that she can't do whatever she wants at all times before in her 35 years of life.

Then, as you've probably guessed from watching Karen videos on Tik Tok, she refused to pay for her drinks.

Again, I was just an observer. I have no skin in this game other than to set the record, that she likely has 0 recollection...

I had an awful experience with staff at Cuzzy’s. One recent employee was aggressive and punitive. It was embarrassing and unwarranted/unnecessary… not only was the initial interaction reactionary, unprofessional and unwarranted, but the employee continued to make me uncomfortable the rest of the evening, with no follow up conversation or remorse. I can’t express how unpleasant, unnecessarily punitive, and threatening this felt.

Several people in the vicinity recognized how out of line this was (including strangers) and supported in the fact that this was aggressive, unprofessional, unwarranted, and out of bounds.

I have visited Cuzzy’s several times before and had nothing but great things to say. This night was entirely different. Please consider before you visit, especially as a woman. This was very upsetting, confusing, and unpleasant. I will not be visiting the north loop bars anytime soon because of this upsetting incident. What an unnecessary and tearful evening spent in what was supposed to be a joyful and celebratory evening out with friends for the first time in...

Revisited this place for late night drinks. It’s a dive bar, and a really good one at that. Expect a packed house on a weekend night. The shots are generous and they have service on the patio. Great place to get wasted and spill your feelings :)

Older review: decent dive bar food. I usually go for one of the specials but they are hit or miss. the tots are good, but a lot of their food is pretty dry. I tried a burger and it was pretty bad, same with a chicken sandwich. restaurant is pretty gross, it doesn't seem like they sweep enough. really really friendly service, but I really only go here because it is the cheapest place around. probably a better late night bar spot rather than a lunch...
