What User likes about Palmer's:
I attended the Saturday Caterwaul event, and the cozy, hidden bar atmosphere was fantastic. If I were still a drinker and lived nearby, this would definitely be my go-to spot. The outdoor area for live music is impressive, and I had an excellent time overall. I can't recommend this place enough! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Palmer's:
Gossiping strangers hurt kind people. They discriminate. Some of the staff have a tendency to make up terrible lies about ppl they don't know. The manager will get really drunk and loudly bully customers over top of the bands. Really disappointing. Extremely unprofessional. View all feedback.

Excellent staff. Amazing clientele. Lives up to the name Esquire Magazine gave it as one of America’s Best Dive Bars. Stiff drinks and eclectic live music.

A really funny show here!! Nice staff and good service. It is a very small stage and music is not too loud; I had a great time! Minimum food.

Always have had a good time here and now Tony owns it and I’ve only had good times around Tony. It’s a good time to have a good time.

It is full of weird cross-cultural pollination, and that is exactly why some like it, and others don't. Come join the fun, if you are open-minded.

I may not get there as much as I did when I was younger but this is still my favorite bar in the twin cities.

This is 90% bar, and 21+ at night, staff and crowd was all cool. Parking blocks away sucked, but it was a Friday night, $15 cover charge for bands was an unplea...

Always chill vibes! And live music every time I've ever been! Bartenders are pretty legit always.

This is a laid-back, genuine dive bar that has a bit of a rough charm and is full of fascinating characters. They host live music, and we happened to come acros...
