Scoops Pub

Looks smaller from the outside, but when you walk through the front doors you’re greeted by a good ol’ northern bar scene with tons of space. Plenty of locals around to make you feel at home. Food was AWESOME. Huge menu to choose from. Had the chicken tender melt and «Julie’s wrap». Both were excellent! Very friendly service with a smile! Will definitely come back!

We came here on a Monday night because I wanted to treat my boyfriend to some birthday drinks. We had never been here before but it was a good opportunity to try a new bar in the area. For a Monday night, it was busy and we could tell even before stepping into the bar. Their big parking lot was nearly full and when we entered, customers packed both the tables and bar. We quickly realized it was bingo night, and felt a little out of place amongst the older crowd, but it was entertaining to watch.
I got the feeling that locals like to come here a lot, whether to mingle with peers on a weekend or grab a quick drink on a weekday. We were of the latter. My boyfriend chose to get a beer and I got a whiskey sour. When our bartender brought them to us, she gave us two of each. We thought it was a mistake, but assumed that it must’ve been a 2 for 1. So hip hip hooray for cheap drinks! The only downfall of this was that the bartender wasn’t the best at making drinks. At least she was a kind lady. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt because I haven’t tried any of her other drinks… but the whiskey sours were all sour and no whiskey. Scratch that. It was all sour+some melted ice cubes. Watered down drinks with no alcohol taste to them is a no no. My boyfriend’s decision on getting a beer was a solid call. I felt like even with the 2 for 1 deal, it wasn’t worth my money to pay for drinks that were barely drinks.
We didn’t try any of the food however, a man came up to the bar counter and asked them to recommend a burger to him and I have to say, their options sounded amazing. Based on their description, I could tell their burgers are of the greasy nature with all the right fixin’s. Maybe I’ll have to take a look at the menu next time we’re in.
Their bartenders all seem like down to earth people, and one of them has such a hardy and infectious laugh. I’m sure most customers have a good ol’ time here… but based on my experience with my drinks, I’d have to say that drinking before you come out to this bar might be a better option.

My wife and I come here a lot. A great place in my opinion. Service is great! They have a ton of dart boards, some pool tables and even Buck Hunter and Golden Tee. Poker a few times each week and bingo as well. The food is great! Heggies pizza and awesome burgers. Nothing fancy about this joint but that’s what is cool about it. The servers are friendly bit my over the top. They also serve breakfast each morning and have specials during all MN sports events.

I love it! It’s a total dive! The atmosphere is rocking tho! You got bikers, lesbians, right wingers the whole nine yards and everyone seems to just fit right in together. No one is judging and that’s fabulous! Food is good and drinks are reasonably priced. Go let your hair down. No one will care!

I am giving Scoops 4 stars because their happy hour well drinks are super cheap! They have a great area for Karoke and they have lots of floor space. There is outdoor seating pool and darts (on a machine). The bartender and waitresses are great about checking if you need anything. All credit card transactions require a ten dollar minimum which is something to keep in mind.

Well, I am usually here on the weekends, when my Blaine or Coon Rapids friends are out. This is definitely your typical «local» sports bar.
There have always been a lot of people when I go. Not that it’s the greatest crowd, but at least they’re usually a relatively young crowd (in this area, you sometimes pop into a place to find only old men in the waning years of their lives).
Darts and pool can keep you entertained, if your not entertained enough people watching.
Summary: Typical sports bar, good prices, normal mixes (not weak or strong), and a descent weekend crowd. Check it out if you’re in the area and bored.

RickyRox Karaōke is one of the best in town. Huge stage. powerful amps and top produced music so when I do Madman across the Water or Black Dog it’s authentic! Scoops has two for one on anything and buck fifty burgers are a steal and so are the 35 cent wings! Very down to earth atmosphere and the bartenders are HOT and sweet! This place rocks on Wednesday nites, and if you want to hear top singers. this is the ticket. See my reviews also at New Art Salon for your next color or cut!

Ok, so here is why I give Scoop’s three stars:
1. Darts and a jukebox: Obviously, it takes little to make me happy. Give me a game of cut-​throat cricket and a fistful of quarters and I’m happy as a three-​year-​old watching Dora the Explorer.
2. Solid mixed drinks at a decent price: Add that to the above combo and I’m set for life. Things will get progressively better and surprisingly enough, my darts skills improve proportionately to the Captain Diets I consume.
3. Here is the real reason I like this place: No matter what happens, or how you feel, you will always be one of the most attractive people there. I’m not sayin’, but I’m sayin’. Everybody needs a self-​esteem boost occasionally, and this place delivers like a couple of Xanax.
I am not a Coon Rapids person and would not have picked out this glass bead in the rough on my own. Blame a boy. On our second visit there, some random bought us shots of Goldschlager because they said we looked good together (see above #3). I will always come back for more of that. The food is good, typical bar food and the bartenders are great. Only real complaint is that they lost their best server Artemis (awesome guy: real name) to somewhere down south. The guy was a walking Wikipedia.
