Review from Rachel G.

This is one of my secrets of Mpls.
1) Good music
2) Pretty good food
3) Cheap drinks
Note - crowd will look tough, but they are very friendly.
Special Note - On Sat and Sun - you can get a free bloody or screwdriver with your breakfast...all you have to do is ask. -

Good place to see a band (not great) because the bar is inconveniently located in prime viewing area. Very slow bar service on a crowded Saturday the week before Christmas. Bumping them up to three stars because drinks are strong and they do have some Craft Beers on tap. Get there early for parking, it crowds up especially due to the Cabooze.

We were in town for the Steely Dan concert this weekend and decided to hit the Whiskey Junction for a drink or six.
Large venue with tons of character; love the brick, the long bar, and the big stage. Crowd was friendly, servers were awesome, and the prices were more than reasonable.
Tap selection looked decent; we were boring and stuck with Lite. Ordered food: tots with cheese dip and a pizza. Both were excellent- I'd come here for lunch or dinner without drinking.
The Whiskey had two bands on the night we were there; they sounded great and were a lot of fun to watch and listen to. All in all, a great experience.
Whiskey Junction = WIN
Service = 4.5 stars
Food/Drink = 3.75 stars
Value = 4 stars
Fun = 5 stars
We're off to Matt's for a Jucy Lucy today, then it's over to see Steely Dan! -

For anyone who lives along the light right, you must should try a night at the bars on the Franklin Avenue stop. The Cabooze and the Whiskey Junction are the two places that I go between.
They both have live music on most nights. Whiskey Junction tends to have blues, jam band, classic rock type bands. They serve pizza until 2 a.m. at the outdoor window, so you don't have to enter the place to get a slice, or an entire pie. For bar pizza, it's a lot better than you'd expect. I've actually gone just for the pizza.
They have quite a few pool tables and a good happy hour special. The breakfast isn't great, but it comes with a Bloody Mary.Listed in: West Bank - Cedar

Wow. No one's reviewed this bar yet!
I frequent the Whiskey Junction quite a bit when in Mpls. It's right off the Franklin Avenue light rail stop, so it's easy to get to from downtown/airport/MOA. In fact, I've eschewed the bad airport food and expensive drinks and hopped over to Whiskey Junction on long layovers through MSP.
It is what it is. Nothing fancy. Dive bar with cheap drinks and live entertainment most nights. Lots of regulars here. Decent beer selection, which is nice.
During the day, they have quite a few daytime drunks - always fun to converse with. During the summer, you'll see a lot of Harleys here and at The Joint next door.
All of the patrons and employees I've encountered have been extremely nice - maybe they just liked the cut of my jib, I dunno?
The grub is passable for pub food, and they serve a decent breakfast on weekends.
Worth a stop.
