Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub is a quintessential South Minneapolis destination that has mastered the difficult balance of being both a world-class smokehouse and an award-winning craft brewery. Since its inception, Northbound has been a neighborhood “living room,” offering a gritty yet welcoming atmosphere where the smell of hickory smoke greets you at the door.
Unlike many brewpubs that outsource their food concepts, Northbound smokes all of their meats in-house and brews their own beer on-site, creating a symbiotic relationship between the kitchen and the cellar. This dedication to craft has earned national recognition, including features on the Food Network.
The menu is a carnivore’s dream, headlined by the 18-hour smoked porketta and the famous smoked wings, which locals in the Twin Cities rave about. For those looking for a true Minnesota experience, the Wild Rice Burger is a must-try.
Each dish is designed to pair with house-brewed beers, ranging from the smooth and approachable “Light Rail Pale Ale” to the robust, award-winning “Big Stick Stout.”
The brewpub also features a charming, sun-soaked patio that becomes the heart of the neighborhood during the summer months.
Whether you are a beer geek looking to try a unique seasonal flight or a BBQ lover in search of the perfect brisket, Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub provides an authentic, “made-in-Minnesota” experience that keeps locals coming back week after week.
