Bauhaus Brew Labs

My second stop of my brewery sales tour. This building is tucked into an old industrial area with an overhead crane I use to watch move material back in the day. It’s a very cool wide open place to where you really wouldn’t have to climb over others to get a beer. I’m working so unfortunately I can’t swill. But the smell once again was incredibly. Looks like piles of parking and a wide open area outside the brewery. I’m jealous! I want a brewery!!!

I would return for the ambiance and the events they put on here. The beer is just OK, most of the options are fairly hoppy and I don’t find them particularly smooth.

Bauhaus is easily the best taproom in the cities for a big group outing. Most other breweries are just too small to accommodate a group of ten, especially if you are bouncing around place to place, its nearly impossible to get a spot. Not at Bauhaus though! The space feels so open with high warehouse ceilings but they make it cozy-​ish with decorative little lights and lots of long picnic style tables for you and your friends. I also love how close it is to 612, so you can walk between very easily.
The beer is solid but not as good as say Dangerous Man, in my opinion (and everyone’s actually). There are four consistent beer choices, I usually get the Wonderstuff which is their staple citrusy pilsner. They sometimes have a rotating options, but it’s been sort of hit and miss in my experience whether or not that fifth beer is available.
Bauhaus is a very cool location for events too, I came here for Art-​A-​Whirl last year and their parking lot party was awesome. Live music, food trucks and obviously their beer made for a really fun day, I would highly recommend it. I’ve also been here for Trivia Mafia during the week which is always fun. I’d say it fills up pretty fast so definitely get there at least 30 minutes ahead of time to get a spot.
Overall, this would be a spot I wouldn’t miss if you are trying to get a taste of what the Twin Cities has to offer in fun breweries.

I went here for the Street Market and had a great time. The atmosphere is great, there is plenty of room, a stage for entertainment, and a garage to open the door to a great outdoor seating area. The service was great, everyone was willing to help us.
I did not care for their beer. It was personally too plain for me. There were not great flavors in any beers. I love hops and their IPA was not flavorful at all. If you’re looking for simple flavors in beer, this is the place for you.

Good selection of German ales and lagers. Everything I tried was well made and tasty. We ended up stopping by when there was a big music festival going on in the central warehouse area, which ended up being a really fun time. If we happen to be in the area again, we’ll have to stop by and see what’s new.

Never heard of this place until a friend of mine came here for his birthday. It was interesting set up, in what I had just assumed was a bunch of warehouses. Overall, I was pretty impressed.
The beers I tried were Star-​Gazer & Sky-​Five. Sky-​Five was my favorite, with its accurately described Hoppy Tropical Flavor. The staff was quick with the drinks and very friendly, you can tell they love their jobs.
I’m not usually a fan of live music at bars, I like places where you can here yourself think and not have to shout to have a conversation, but the way this place is set up, the music was loud enough to hear and not distracting. A great place to come during the summer & spring. Can’t wait for my next visit.
Cheers!

My first time here and the weather is perfect. It’s getting 4* instead of 5, only because of the limited number of beers on tap: 4 — and because I’ll reserve my 5 stars for my next visit.
That said, I love this place. Great vibe, lively crowd… And yard games?! Come drink a beer and play a round or cornhole. Cool.

Just went to Bauhaus for the first time. Great place to grab a beer with a group of people. They have a sweet outdoor space with food trucks. Lots of parking. Very good beer options. Just a chill place to hang out Northeast.

I love this place, and beer isn’t even my top choice when it comes to alcoholic beverages.
The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. We’ve always gone at non peak times and so haven’t experienced crushing lines or lack of a place to sit. There’s ample outdoor seating (but don’t expect a private table for a party of two… you’ll be sharing a long table with others, which I happen to enjoy). Employees are helpful, efficient and friendly.
My favorite beer of all the ones I’ve tried at local breweries in the past year is the Stargrazer at Bauhaus. Now, I’m not a Beer Expert so I don’t know any fancy beer terms, but the Stargrazer is a dark beer that ranks very low on the bitterness scale, which is key to me in finding a beer I enjoy. My boyfriend usually gets the Wonderstuff while is a lighter, smooth beer that’s he’s been thrilled to find at his local Lunds & Byerly’s recently.
Bauhaus seems to attract a diverse age range, so if you go there’s a good chance you’ll feel like you fit in. We’ve noticed a lot of people bike there. You’ll find a food truck parked by the patio most days and people playing bags out there, too. People have birthday parties there, bring their kids (though I’ve yet to see a birthday party FOR kids there… that would be a bit weird), bring their dogs, bring their nice dresses or workout clothes, what have you.
A+ for venue and atmosphere, A for the beer. My top choice for a brewery in Minneapolis.

Loved Bauhaus Brew Labs… and totally worth taking the tour.
You get a taster when you walk in before the tour… you take the tour and get a taster right out of the bright tank. After you leave the back… you get to try a flight with some education on the different offerings. AND there’s also a food truck… usually awesomely delicious.
The crew at Bauhaus… super awesome people. The indoor space is great (there are even arcade games. There’s a mini stage for live music. There’s a great big parking lot right in front. The outdoor space has cornhole and big communal tables.
We got lucky, there was a taco truck there and it was AMAZING.

This review applies to the 1 year anniversary party…
We came here after hitting up a string of breweries in NE, and we were blown away by how much fun we had. In fact, we wished we had prepared for the party for which we were about to enter. In other words, yag bombs prior to arrival.
When we arrived the place was packed, and everyone was having a good time. People were playing cards games at the tables inside, riding giant trikes outside, enjoying food from the multiple food trucks, throwing bags, ect ect.
But what REALLY set the party off was the house band, «Viva Knievel»
By the end of the night, everyone was dancing and jamming out. They played a great set with mix of artists, from Franz Ferdinand and the Killers to Bruno mars.
The ONLY reason I didn’t give a 5 Star rating was bc the lines to get a Beer were redonk. It’s really ironic when you are standing in a brewery, surrounded by giant tanks filled with hundreds of gallons of beer, and you still have to wait in 1 of 3 lines for 20 minutes to get a beer. Put some more taps in for Gods Sake!
(However, the long lines to get a drink make for great mingling opportunities… hello ladies)

Bomb. Diggity. Great food and great beer. I have only had the pleasure to be there during their Night Market last night for the first time but their staff and attention to detail is great. The Wonderstuff is… stuff of wonders. I actually liked the Sky-​Five with it’s higher than normal alcohol content. I am not really a beer person but didnt mind that IPA at all. You can ask them questions and they wont belittle you if you are genuinely interested. Good stuff. They have one of the coolest locations /​buildings I’ve ever seen and perfect for the outdoor life. A little bit of crazy and cooky paradise in but enough character and substance to keep you interested… as every man and woman should be. Thumbs up. Will definitely be buying BauHaus. Cause BauMaus is My Haus :)

A couples of months ago, I came here for a Unilocal Beer Battalion event. My boyfriend was occupied with a Bachelor Party, which started with a party bus brewery crawl (and ended with some foul smelling men with physical wounds), so I was happy to go out to my own beer event. Well when we both got home we were like, «I went to this really cool place! You have no idea!» Turns out we both had a damn good idea, because we were both talking about Bauhaus.
I came here on a gorgeous spring day with the patio open and humming with beer breath elation. Owners were looking like their dogs, mouths open and panting happily. There were two bars — one inside one out. This is not a 5 star review because of the service system; it seems you can only order at the bar, with no waiter service. At the bar, you are bound to play some elbow games and most likely get a passive-​aggressive ass pushed on you, but not in the good way. It’s disorganized but once you get your beer you’ll be way less annoyed.
I had a couple of Wonderstuffs and they were light and refreshing! There were several tables inside that our group got to rest our beers on as we stood and chatted. There is no kitchen but there will most likely be a food truck on site. When I went, Mid Nord Empanadas was there (separate and sad review) *womp womp sound effect*. There were some outdoor games too. I am excited to hear they are hosting the first annual Northeast Night Market this summer, which is another thing that will persuade me to give my money to Bauhaus. I’m looking forward to going back for more summer brews, the Night Market, and/​or a food truck that doesn’t suck!

I’ll start with the fact that I’m trying to force myself to like beer. SO, the beer was a little strong for me and I wish they had more sweet/​cider-​like choices, but that doesn’t matter much because I still love this place! The atmosphere is amazing — an old warehouse converted into a brewhouse. The branding and design is beautiful, which I really appreciate as a graphic designer. The place is open and the space is filled with long tables and cute lights. It’s a perfect place to go when it’s nice out — there were tons of people when I went and also tons of dogs! (YAY) There is usually a food truck here too, which is great, and you can play bags outside. I will definitely be coming back here because I love the atmosphere and it’s a really fun place to hang out in the summer!

This place is such a fun, hip hangout! Came here on a Friday night with group of 10 people and ended up sitting on the stage — which I liked cause we could sit on the floor of the stage (carpet) and play games. It was busy but not packed or too loud.
Great selection of beers — I had the Sky Five! Midwest Coast IPA and I really liked it. It had the perfect amount of hops and was only $ 5! The servers were very friendly and I didn’t have to wait in the line whenever I went to order a drink.
It is a great big space with cool garage doors that allow you to see outside. I would like to come back in the summer when they can open those up and we can sit outside and enjoy food trucks!
I say «Auf wiedersehen Bauhaus!» cause I will definitely come back to see you again!

First off… the space is awesome; industrial turned modern. I love going to a tap room and being able to see the brewhouse, where the magic happens. This place has everything: middle aged guys, guys with crazy beards, hipster chics, a jazz trio and a Big Ass Fan. It was a good vibe.
The beer was great. I did the flight, 5 beers for $ 9…not a bad deal. My favorite of the night was the Sky-​Five and the Wonderstuff. Sky Five was a good IPA, a nice color and good hop flavor. Wonderstuff was a pilsner, it was crisp and light, I can imagine it being a great beer on a hot day.
Overall we had a great time, bar service was a little slow but not too bad. We will definitely be back

3 Buddies and I went to this tap room in the Northeast of Minneapolis, right near 612 and Indeed Tap Rooms. This would be dangerous if I lived by here.
The place is right by the railroad tracks and looks like it was built in an old grain mill/​storage space for a brewery. The inside is so cool!
The servers were super cool and I ordered an IPA for my first beer. Super citrusy and fantastic. I also tried their schwarzbier. A black lager that is a little smokey, and again wonderful. Their beers are really good.
I had a growler fill of their IPA to finish off at home.
Love this place! Lots of good laughs with friends and the atmosphere is great!

This is a huge space that is going to be better in the summer as they have a large patio and huge garage doors. They have a private parking lot and the beer room has a colorful industrial feel to it. I had the Pale Ale which was decent. There are games to play, a stage indicating music at some point, and there was a your standard food truck (Gastropub the night we were there)
Long community benches for seating.

I’d seen pictures of Bauhaus, and it looked like a fairy-​industrial-​wonderland with the high ceilings and the lights strung across the patio. That alone compelled me to come here.
My mother and I went on a gorgeous October Saturday, and the place was SO BUSY. The patio was open, people were spilling out into the parking lot, and there were two long lines formed on either side of the bar. Despite this, the place is pretty big, and we had no problem grabbing one end of a picnic table. The atmosphere completely met my high expectations. This isn’t like other warehouse-​converted taprooms around the Cities. It’s hard to describe, but it’s a very cool space.
We got the flight, and we both like all the German-​style beers. I’ll be looking for it on the shelves of my liquor store now.

This place is the Wonka factory of craft beer. A little secretive and slightly ominous on the outside until you enter the gates, the place is straight up kaleidoscopic once you’re in. Inside they’re serving up some tasty brews to please all kinds of palates. Last I checked City Pages, there have been no disappearances of super bratty children here, but it is pretty new.
The design of the place is awesome and perfect for a chill night. They’ve taken what makes so many Twin Cities breweries great and rolled it up into one. Huge patio area with hanging lights and a stage area, food truck every night– super relaxing to enjoy a beer (or three) and watch the trains go by. The inside is colorful and bright, like MTV Real World’s interior designers chose the color palette. That’s a compliment, I think. The Instagrams coming out of this radius must be staggering. The branding is beautiful– from the logo to the glasses to the giant mural of the human brain (a celebration of the brain cells you are killing?).
The place is so cool and the branding is so well thought out that I was sure the beer was going to be horrible. It’s not my favorite local beer, but they have some delicious options. The Sky Five IPA is pineapple-​y goodness that tastes delicious on a summer day. The Wonderstuff is good too– nothing special, but I’d have it again. The other two weren’t my favorite (they have samplers, don’t judge me) but that probably comes from personal preference.
There’s two things that need a little work. The size is big, bigger than most breweries, but the place has been so busy every time I’ve been that it’s been hard to get a seat. It was so bad on a Wednesday that people were sitting on the ground during trivia. Granted, hipsterfolk love trivia. The service is a little spotty too, but that could also be from the large amounts of people. Bauhaus is still new, and I’m pretty confident they’ll figure out their kinks. I’ll be actively opening their cans searching for a golden ticket from here on forth.
