The News Room

We went for family dinner went my cousins came to town and it was great! A little loud, but the service was good and the food was too. I loved the shrimp Mac and cheese! Some of my family really enjoyed the jambalaya and I also really enjoyed the anchor wings and the tempura shrimp! The margarita flatbread was really was great as was the short ribs and rice! Nice and tender! People at the table were not a fan of the cheese curds. Says they tasted off. They used a different cheese and were a lot lighter and fluffier than we typically see. My niece thought her kids burger was okay but she is picky. The lasagna was good.. a little too cheesy and the drinks were super strong and reasonably priced! There is no parking lot but we did find meter parking with an event going on downtown! There are also parking garages around! I would go back again!

If you're looking for a fantastic restaurant in downtown Minneapolis, then The News Room is definitely worth checking out. With both valet parking and a nearby parking garage, it's easy to get there and find a spot to park.
Upon entering, you'll notice that the restaurant is impeccably clean, and the unique interior adds to the overall ambiance. Despite the spacious room, the noise level is impressively low due to the high ceilings.
The service is excellent, with attentive staff always willing to answer any questions or concerns. The menu boasts a wide variety of options, ensuring there is something for everyone.
The food - it's absolutely delicious. While the presentation may be typical, the flavors are anything but. And if you're looking for a good drink, the bar won't disappoint either.
What's even better is that the prices are very reasonable, typically ranging from $15-20 per dish. And on top of that, the portion sizes are quite generous.
Overall, The News Room is an excellent restaurant that's well worth a visit. With its fantastic food, attentive service, and reasonable prices, it's sure to leave you impressed.

All around great place. Servers seem happy to be there, food was perfect and drinks are great... They even shake and pour martinis table side so they're ice cold and full to the top!

My fiance eats burgers EVERYWHERE and said this one was the best he's had in the US! Home fries were crispy and not oily at all. I had the Cobb salad, which really was fantastic. Tons of every topping so you're not just left with lettuce for half of it.

We're so in love with the place we plan to host our rehearsal dinner here in their event space! Two thumbs up! A must visit

Visiting from out of town and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our late dinner here! Fantastic drinks, appetizer, and entree. Our server was a bit busy so the manager was making sure we were taken care of. This place is a gem!

I had a great time at the news room. My daughter had the chicken wings and I had brussel Side and shrimp 🍤 Alfredo. Then I paired it with a Social dilemma beer. Really long name. Maybe I notes it some where. It went great with the flow of the flavors. I wish I got dessert to go. I forgot that part of my ideas.

Had a fabulous first time. For seated right away. The drinks we ordered came quickly and tasted amazing! We started with the croquettes they were so flavorful! My husband had a specialty burger. I got the tortellini it was absolutely one of the best tortellini's I've had in a long time.
Thank you so much News Room for a wonderful night out!
10/10 give this place a shot

Such a cool place to go for dinner! Food was amazing and I really enjoyed the tortellini pasta. The root beer cookies for dessert sound weird but I swear they are so good!! Our waiter was super nice and the place itself has a cool atmosphere.

Easily one of the coolest bars I have ever been to. We stopped in for a quick drink and we’re immediately impressed with the decorations in the space. The entire bar is a giant ship! They also have headline news articles spread throughout the restaurant and each room is separated into categories of news stories. Our bartender was also incredibly nice and made some perfect cocktails.

This is a bad picture but their root beer cookies were phenomenal!! We were skeptical at first but warmed up to the idea! The service was fantastic and the vibes were cool! Definitely recommend.

What a unique place. Jonathon was phenomenal and came in with a great recommendation. Did the smash burger. Flavor was spot on from first bite. Got some ranch for my crispy hot fries and surprised that it seemed homemade. To top it off what a neat location. The atmosphere was so unique and welcoming.
Def recommend!

Delicious food and fun atmosphere. Two friends and I went last night and couldn’t decide what to order so we split three dishes. The Fish & Chips, the pulled pork tacos and the tortellini. The batter on the fish and chips melted in my mouth. The flavor of the sauce on the tortellini was amazingly tasty. Will definitely be back!

Love the roasted cauliflower and the chimmichuri steak salad. Both are super fresh and healthy tasting. I'm very happy with the service that Molly provided last Friday night. I loved their Butternut Squash Soup. Wish they'd bring it back. It was incredible.

Very creative theme. Enjoyed the experience and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Went with a large group because we were in town for a volleyball tournament. Great service and excellent food. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Even with 25 or so of us, the food came out hot and fresh. Definitely recommend The News Room.

Upon walking inside, the first thing that catches your eye are the old newspaper headlines adorning the walls. Next comes the wonderfully created vintage sail ship that hovers above the bar, carrying bottles of liquor.

T.V. screens are scattered about showing different sports games. I would have preferred a variety of news programs on the T.V. screens...just to keep in theme of its namesake.

We started with the Brie Curds. Light tempura coating with melted Brie inside and accompanied with a warm blueberry sauce...totally worth the trip just by itself.

My wife ordered the Almond Chicken Salad. Very flavorful with a light hint of citrus in the dressing. We both found the dish very pleasing.

I decided to try the Manhattan Barrel Aged Gnocchi. Upon the first bite, my eyes rolled back and I was in heaven. The thinly sliced steak was perfectly cooked to medium-rare. The Gnocchi was perfect, with a coating of pepper over it. My wife isn't too keen on pepper, but I absolutely loved it. I finished my dish, and my wife's dish, and decided we need to come back and try some of the other menu items. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had an AMAZING time at The News Room. We were trying to post up for the Villanova/Michigan game and they were a bit packed but the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great spot in front of a tv with our game.

The food was awesome as well. I went ahead and built my own burger, but the menu is so eclectic that if you can’t find something on it you are crazy.

Overall, this may be a new staple for me and my travels to MN.

Visiting from out of town, this place was a great find for a casual dinner. Pleased to find they had a gluten free bun for a burger and it was honestly one of the best I've had in quite a while. Lots of visually interesting details and great cocktails as well. Would return!

Another place I’d give more than five stars if I could. Great food and wonderful atmosphere. Bar area is really cool. Entrees range from $15 to $30. Good local beers as well. Try the castle danger cream ale.

The News Room is exceptional. Even if the food and service was mediocre (which it definitely wasn't) the decor and ambiance would have been worth it! The food was excellent - salmon and berry salad. Our server was great - attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommended.

Great food and unusual but beautiful decor! Started with Monte Cristo Croquettes - very creamy and delicious. The bacon and fried rice had the most wonderful smoky flavor, while the gnocchi was pillowy soft, smooth and rich. We will be back!
