Floyd’s Bar

This is one of my favorite bars to go to! Great people, service and music!

Floyd’s is everything you expect in a local small town dive bar but does it right. The atmosphere is one that is accepting of age 21 to 81, poor college student or upper class and that is exactly the person mix you will see. I tend to stop by two times a year. Halloween and one other random time.
Drinks are cheap, food is typical fried bar food and they have a few specialty drinks like bloody’s that are done with worthy of being called a meal in itself.

This place is Lit. Never had anything bad to eat. Horn’s special is always good. Nawlins bowl is prime time breakfast. LIT.

They ask for cover charge of 5 $ and don’t deliver. They also ask you to ask to open a tab! Even if you’d already paid for your drinks at the bar. I’ll admit we were the youngest here though. So if you are 40 and above you might like this place otherwise it’s just inconvenience. And the food is fresh but average at best.

Nachos were good. Guac is extra… got it. Service could be great if they were just concerned with impressing their customers as they were impressing each other, as fellow bartenders/​servers.

Love sitting out on the patio with the Live Music! They don’t have servers that come to your table, though, which results in having to go wait in-​line at the bar to get drinks.
They will take your food order at the table, and ours has turned out great every time. It’s just strange not having a server to ask for things (i.e., ketchup, extra mayo, etc).
The turkey club is amazing– definitely would recommend getting that! Also, their weekender bloody is delicious!
Have fun at Floyd’s!

So impressed by this place! Pulled up on a Sunday afternoon and it was very busy, but no problem finding a table. Sever came over quickly and was attentive, prompt, and pleasant throughout. Cool décor and feel, unique. Lots of choices for anyone on the menu and very reasonable prices. I got the grains and greens salad – was amazing and huge! Pork was excellent. My husband had the beef gyro with onion petals – he was very pleased as well. There was a band setting up, but left before they started. We will definitely be back ASAP!

Great biker bar! Great food!!! Fun place! Summer fun! Be sure to stop by…

We come for the Weekender, drool over the rest of their menu, but always get to full on the bloody to ever try anything else.

I am a summer floyds fan. Who knew a biker bar could have a carribean feel. They are not far off, the, lrt trail which goes into downtown victoria, so, we rode bikes. We parked with the harleys :) sitting outside is great! Totally satisfying bar food and good happy hour. Live music. Generally a cover unless, you get thwr a, b opp t over an hour before they bwgin, but its a small vover and worth it for the music.

The Weekender Bloody Mary… best one in the greater Twin Cities!

Great live entertainment on the weekends. Burgers were better before they changed their buns. Expect to pay a $ 5 cover charge every night on the weekend.

Can’t comment on the food, but service was terrible. I was completely ignored after being seated, even after making eye-​contact with the server at the tables near mine. Not like they were busy… This was on a Sunday, hours before dinner rush. I eventually left and went somewhere that I was not apparently invisible.

We are from out of town and stopped here after reading other Unilocal reviews. We ate lunch on the patio. It seems as though all out door dining has now become the «smoking section» of restaurants and this was no different. Our options are to eat inside on a beautiful summer afternoon or put up with the smoke. We chose the latter. Annoying, but again, our decision.
The service was fine and the beer tasted good. We shared a half pound burger with fries. The burger had a good flavor and the fries were crispy. When our bill arrived I was surprised to see that they charged $ 1.50 to split our burger. That was not mentioned by the waitress when we ordered. For a buck and a half I could cut my own burger in half. We didn’t even dirty another plate as the burger comes in a plastic basket with disposable paper. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of. Still a nice place for lunch.

During the summer, there is no better place to spend a Saturday afternoon than casually enjoying a refreshing beer while chilling on Floyd’s patio and listening to some live tunes. Floyd’s is the oddest bar I’ve been to but the people watching is fantastic and it’s always promises to be a good time.
It’s part dive bar, part Caribbean beach bar and a melting pot of people. It attracts everything from bachelorette and birthdays parties to golfers who just got done playing at Deer Run to Harley Davidson riders and everything in between. The music is almost always great and somehow this weird group of people comes together every Friday and Saturday night to have a great time.
The food is pretty standard bar food but their burgers are enormous and delicious! They have a decent selection of rotating taps and 2 for 1 happy hour most nights, including Fridays.
I highly recommend the place and for those who have a little too much fun, they have cab service to take you home at the end of the night.

Floyd’s is one of my best finds yet! I recently moved to the west burbs and would drive by Floyd’s every day, thinking it looked like your typical small townie bar. Some friends in the area said we have to check it out, so we did, didn’t take much convincing because if there is beer and food, we are in.
It is a very modest place inside and out, but they have a great outdoor patio/​bar area for when we occasionally have spring or summer here in the frozen tundra. Friday and Saturday nights get hopping because of the live bands. The age of the crowd varies from night to night but it can be anyone from 21 to 61 and they all have a good time.
The food is what makes Floyd’s a gem. I was expecting your typical bar food, wings and onion rings, anything else deep fried and nothing gluten free, BUT boy was I wrong! They have awesome options for us celiacs or even the annoying trendy GF people that don’t have the allergy, no offense, but being a real Celiac these people annoy me… anyhoo, all their sandwiches are excellent on Udi’s bread. The tacos and salads are great too. We have had probably almost one of everything on the menu now that we frequent there. AND they have Omission beer which is awesome!
I am looking forward to summer on the patio! Hopefully it warms up soon!

Aahhh Floyd’s. What a pleasant surprise you were a few weekends ago!
The boys and I were on a Saturday «dude’s night out» recently, and were barhopping our way from downtown Minneapolis back to (fellow Unilocaler) Nate’s place in Chaska. We decided to end the evening at Floyd’s since two of us had never been. What a fun place! Floyd’s struck me as a cool old school corner bar that decided to expand their space, and that’s generally a good sign. I also noticed an impressive patio setup that had me longing for warmer weather, so we’ll certainly be back for that. Service on a late Saturday night was prompt and friendly. Nothing out of the ordinary for the live music that night, and the crowd was a decent mix of people. However, they did hit us for a three dollar cover at the door. I should, but I won’t criticize Floyd’s too harshly for that. Overall, a decent first visit!
The next morning while shaking off the haze, we decided to return to Floyd’s for a proper bar breakfast. Nate spoke highly of Floyd’s for breakfast, and he knows his stuff — so away we go. The breakfast menu has something for everyone who has decided to put faith in Floyd’s for breakfast. I was impressed by the breakfast sandwich I had, and even more so by the side of spudbusters which also came highly recommended. The spudbuster is a deep –fried rolled cheezy jalapeño hashbrown served with ranch. I could have had an entire platter of spudbusters for breakfast — no joke, I’ll go back just for those. WOW. Sitting at the bar watching the NFL pregame, we witnessed every breakfast order come out of the kitchen and everything looked awesome. The local crowd of Vikings fans were cool so we decided to watch the first half of the game, and graciously «boo» any Packers fans brave enough to wear their team colors.
With the weekend evening and breakfast experience under my belt, I feel educated enough on Floyd’s to confidently recommend that you visit and enjoy. The Floyd’s website reads: «check us out once and you’ll find a reason to come back again!» I absolutely agree with that statement, and I have a handful of reasons why I’ll return to Floyd’s.

Think: unpretentious, island bar.
Decent food, decent music, laid-​back atmosphere.
No, it’s not in the Twin Cities metro, but you don’t want it to be!
Pro tip: order everything (food and all rounds of drinks) at the bar when you’re outside on the patio.

I wasn’t impressed with the slow service, overpriced crawdads (Wed only), or chicken wings (which are supposed to be a specialty but don’t compare to Runyons, Newsroom, or even Chammps). The servers were apologetic and mentioned having sent 3 of the 5 home early due to some rain moving through (thinking the patio would be empty) so I had to go to the bar to order. Servers were good and friendly, just not enough of them.
I do like the more dive-​y interior. The bar does appear to be transitioning from a biker/​dive spot to a faux-​hipster spot (a couple of the girls there for the live music were snookie-ish…and I do mean ISH and felt the need to rebel yell at the acoustic singer every few minutes and leave their smelly cig butts everywhere.

As a former Uptown/​Northeast Dweller I expected very little of the nightlife when I moved out to Victoria to be with my fiancé. However, Floyd’s was the first place she took me and I was an instant fan.
Year-​round this place is a good hangout. Certainly the best in town. The thing that makes this place truly awesome though, is its gigantic tiki-​themed patio. The patio is open In the spring/​summer and features live music most nights.
I’d never call this place cheap, but the tap selections are good and I haven’t ordered anything off of the menu that I didn’t like. Also, since it’s a small town, the crowd at Floyd’s really knows how to have a good time.
If you live somewhat close-​by and have a REALLY good time, you can use the dedicated «Floyd’s Flyer» cab service. Captain Nate will get you home safely.
