Editorial review from Citysearch 10/9/2012

It was my first time at this club and I really liked the bartendars. They were all super nice and were pretty fast at getting me and my friends drinks. Although, the bathrooms were all out of toiletries so that was kind of annoying. more

RACIST 3/12/2011

So me and my inlaws went there for a Bday party, we got there early, and the dude, probably a adopted asian kid was checking i.d. and told my inlaw that there's a ""STRICT NO WHITE SHOES POLICY"" we had to go through the trouble of getting him a black shoes.(STUPID US!) 1hr later, we went back to the bar when our party got there, a white kid infront of us had white shoes on and got in, we then question him and he was speaking jiberish, then the we saw that 50% of the people in there (black, white) had white shoes on. for the record we're Hmong. and without us there the place was dead, I know alot of place here in MN is RACIST against Hmong people, but we give them the best Business, we don't sit there and spend 1hr to drink a beer, we buy by the case and drink in less then 1 min. more

overrated 3/5/2011

So the only reason I went to barfly was because Spin was closed for remodeling. Worst experience I have ever had in Minneapolis. Most people were standing around looking awkward and those dancing should not have been doing so. I felt like I was at a high school prom without the formal wear. The music was some impossible-to-dance-to type of techno. and the dj kept cutting the song half way through. I saw a girl get a drink thrown on her just because she turned him down. The bathrooms were very dirty. I would not suggest this place to anyone wanting to have a good time. more

Best bang for my buck Downtown! 12/7/2009

Hadn't been to this place for a year or so and last time I was there my experience wasn't terrible, but it wasn't awesome either. I figured I'd give it another shot since it'd been a while and they're still in business. Glad I did. This place is a hidden secret in downtown. Though not as fancy as some others, this place is quite laid back and you don't have to be around 'stuffy' people all night that have nothing to prove except their overpriced clothes. I was able to enjoy the drink special for part of the night, hang out with some friends, and dance for under $20! I definitely will visit more frequently than I did before. Pros: Friendly Staff and fairly priced drinks Cons: Slightly off the beaten path, but worth checking out. more

to all you haters out there.... 10/28/2009

i agree, i don't get where all these awful reviews came from. my roomate wanted to go out clubbing. i just moved here a couple months ago but shes a st. paul local. we went to bar fly on a saturday, got really cheap drinks for most of the night and had a great time getting all dressed up to go dancing. i'd definitly go back! really cool set up. Pros: cheap drinks, good dance music more

Great Place to Have a Birthday party 10/11/2009

My cousin's birthday was coming up and I wasn't sure how I wanted to plan her birthday party. I saw on the Bar Fly website that there was a ""Free Birthday"" button. I called them up, and was pleasantly surprised with the amazing night Bar Fly was able to help me, my cousin, and our whole party have. I'd highly recommend anyone planning a birthday party soon to call Bar Fly, who can host a great party. They even decorated our table for her birthday! Can't wait to go back soon. Pros: penny drinks from 9-11 Saturday nights more

pretty good atmosphere 9/12/2009

Nice exciting environment. Crew there very energetic and fun. Nice set up and easy to maneuver. Great music and the crowd is classy. People actually dance there and have fun in a classy manner. Not really any rude sloppy drunks there acting a fool. They keep things under control.Positive experience. Pros: exciting atmosphere great waitresses, nice set up Cons: nothing I noticed more

I love Saturdays at Bar Fly 8/19/2009

My friends and I were tired of places like Aqua and the Drink or Spin, so we decided to try something new. We were pleasantly surprised- we bought a $6 wristband and then utilized the 'any coin any cocktail' special. I didn't know what it meant at first, but was pumped to find out it meant I could give the bartender a penny and get a drink!! Let me just say we got our money's worth (and then some!) for our drinks, and had a total blast. The crowd also had a great vibe. This is our new Saturday night spot hands down. Pros: umm penny drinks... need I say more?! Cons: kinda hot more

Bikini Contest 8/17/2009

We went there on a Wednesday for the Bikini Contest and there were people ready to party everywhere! The crowd that night was exceptionally fun to be around. Highly recommended and we will be back for the grand finals on the 26th! Pros: Party People Everywhere Cons: Hott more

Bikini Contest was a BLAST! 8/13/2009

We went there for the bikini contest and it was awesome! The place has come a long way apparently because I thought it was a lot of fun! Pros: Patio, VIP, DJ Booth Cons: Hott more

Beer Pong Tournament 8/6/2009

I just signed up for the beer pong tournament that is about to take place! Can't wait! I am a hard cord Bar Fly and I just don't understand where all the hating came from? Pros: Beer Pong Tournament more

It's got my approval 8/6/2009

I've been a lot of places and seen a lot. In the sceme of things this place is pretty cool. They had some deal with coins (like pennys and dimes) that any coin would get us any drink. We got real drunk for under $5. The only thing I could see to make the place better is more bass. I love bass. Pros: Nice bar, nice lights, good music, smoking patio more

We had a blast! 8/6/2009

We went their for a Birthday party a couple weeks ago and we had a blast! The place was packed and the staff treated us like we were royals (I guess it could have been we came with 70 people, but who knows :). From what I can remember it was a damn good time with great music! Pros: Two bars, nice VIP area, and loved the DJ's, Outdoor patio more

Lighten up on the hating... 2/20/2009

It's not that bad a place for what it is... Just attended the Battle of the Bands last night and dreaded going because of the reviews I had read. It was fine--especially considering the neighborhood. It was a lot better than some of the U area bars I've gone to watch shows at. Granted, it's not the sleek place the editorial blurb makes it out to be, and it is clearly geared towards a young adult crowd, but I'm twice the legal drinking age and it was better than I expected. Pros: Parking available Cons: Location more

AWFUL!! 1/10/2009

Bought ""pre-sale"" tickets just to be told to stand in line like everyone else. Attempted to get my money back and the lady talking to me had no idea what she was saying and apparently I was winning the argument being she hung up on me twice! Would NEVER RECOMMEND this club to anyone! more

Might as well just say 18 only, not 18 plus 1/9/2009

I'm pretty sure I was the only guy over 21 there. The bartenders were bored since no one was old enough to drink. more

3.5 Stars? 11/15/2008

If three people rated this joint at one star each and one person gave it four stars, shouldn't that average out to 1.75 stars? more

don't believe their contests 5/28/2008

Barfly had a fashion contest and a lip sync contest. On their flyer it said that people will win ""cash & prizes"" for both contests. I won 1st place at the fashion contest, but am STILL waiting for my cash and prize. I have contacted them through their website, their myspace page, by phone messages, and email. I had to get another company involved before someone at Barfly finally got back to say that I won a bottle service and $75 and that they will send them my address. But I haven't seen the money or the prize.\r \r I contacted the gal who won the lip sync contest. She said that she never received any prizes either.\r \r I will NOT be returning to this club. There is a small parking lot, but parking was $7.75...although the sign says $7.50. (I had to pay the $7.75 parking fee).\r Pros: people there seemed nice Cons: they promise cash and prizes, but don't follow through more
