The editorial take
Chatterbox Pub pours an award-winning, locally rooted draft list alongside 18 house cocktails and a dedicated non-alcoholic section. The beer program is the centerpiece, with MUG pours like Chatterbox Speakeasy Lager and Pryes Royal Blueberry Sour at approachable prices. Cocktails span classics and house inventions, while wines and spirits cover the bases without much risk. A reliable stop for drinkers who want choice without pretense.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Chatterbox Speakeasy Lager in a MUG for a crisp local pour, or try the Pryes Royal Blueberry Sour if you want something fruit-forward. Cocktail drinkers should consider the House Gin & Tonic or the No MasPalabras, both priced at $14.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who value a broad, locally focused draft list will find plenty to explore, and cocktail fans will appreciate the range of classics and house creations. The dedicated NA section also makes it easy for non-drinkers to find something beyond soda.

- Draft beers run $7.50 to $14, cans and bottles $4.50 to $7. Cocktails are $10 to $14, wine by the glass $9 to $11, and spirits pours $7 to $14.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beer menu is the anchor: an award-winning, curated draft selection that leans heavily on local Minnesota breweries, with sizing options from GLS to Tall. It's paired with a surprisingly deep cocktail list and a rare dedicated NA program that includes creative options like Lavender Muley.
