Courtside Bar & Grill

Always great service and good food. The only negative is there is guy there going through transition (I apologize to the transgender community if I’m mistaken on this person) who appears to be a meth addict that is often there by themselves, that is really a poor loser. I feel bad because yesterday I publicly made a comment to this person about their poor manners and they wanted to get in a fight with me. I shouldn’t have made a comment to give this person the satisfaction that someone actually acknowledges their existence. I apologize to the other bar patrons and staff that I put a focus on this person who normal sits in the corner with their drink playing pull tabs until they deplete their monthly SSI benefit check, I’m guessing of course, but if true this is really quite sad. If true I pray for this person to be out of their misery soon.

Location is great in the heart of downtown Anoka across the parking lot from Serums. I admit I have not eaten food here but often visit during the nightlife.
The band Hitchville played this night on St. Patty’s day and had a lively dance floor. I love the space in this place but bartender service was very slow. It took us at least 10 minutes to get our first drinks after I tried to get one of the bartender’s attention several times. (I felt ignored) Yes, the place was busy but I’ve seen it much busier. Honestly, the male bartender wasn’t friendly when I finally got his attention and gave me a negative first impression… However, we did have easier service later in the night.
GREAT place to watch sports because many televisions! Look for local live music and events on their webpage.

Had a blast for our all class reunion, they kept up every step and it was a crazy night! Kudos!

Stopped after a funeral and took up many tables. The staff was excellent keeping track of the tabs. We had many apps and almost too many beers… great service! Enjoyed beers while celebrating a life cut short. Keep an eye on where you park, there are some 3 hour spots next door, avoid tickets! it’s next to the courhouse/​cop shoppe.

This place has the best all-​around burger I have ever had at a restaurant. It starts with a great bun, slightly toasted. The burger is always cooked exactly how you ask. Theu have a huge variety of burgers and you can also build your own. My favorite burgers are the bourbon barbeque with bacon and cheese, and my other favorite is the «Guilty as Charged» which has an egg on top. Great food, great service, amd reasonabley priced. Check it out if you’re looking for a good burger and fries!

Just got screwed out of $ 99 pot for bingo because the woman didn’t hear me yell it. How’s that my fault? She was rude and the way she handled it was unacceptable. I would definitely avoid bingo night!!!

Went here the other week with my Gf. Great burger, their was 15 different types of burgers to choose from. It also had a nice back patio.
I would for sure go here again if I am ever back in Anoka.

Service was slow but not so slow that we would not come back. We both ordered hamburgers both were cooked to the same temperature even tho I ordered meduim and my wife ordered medium well. Older crowd showed up for bingo night. We give it a weak 3 stars.

Like the unique signature burgers here. Beer selection is decent. Going to attempt the 312 burger challenge very soon.

We stopped in here for a drink on Saturday afternoon and ended up staying a couple of hours, playing BINGO. They had a MN Mega BINGO worth $ 18,000 (we did not win). We didn’t have any food, just some drinks but the wait staff was very friendly and the BINGO people were great. Super crowded — they also had a Happy Hour that was buy 1 get 1 free, which is always nice. The only thing that keeps this from 4 or 5 stars is the fact that of the 3 stalls in the ladies restroom 1 didn’t have any TP and the other was GROSS and I will just leave it at that.

Stopped in for our Downtown Anoka bar crawl. It took about 7 – 8 minutes to get a round of drinks. The place was busy, but not crowded. There were 3 bartenders and we were ignored. The place is kind of divey, it is kind of generic looking on the inside.
We came for the Daisy Duke shorty short contest, but that ended by 10, and from what I could tell, there were no remnants of the contest remaining in the bar when we arrived.
They had a country music band playing. The band was good, they certainly kept the crowd grooving. This is a typical North of 694 bar. Lots of rednecks, guys with backwards hats on, lots of slutty looking, slightly ugly girls.
We saw a woman sucking face with a guy with a huge wad of chaw in his mouth. It was amazing that they could use all kind of tongue and dude still managed to keep all the tobacco tightly bound under his lip.
There was a couple in their mid 50’s dry humping on the dance floor to Johnny Cash.
Lots of cowboy hats in the bar.

Cool place to hangout. Friendly staff, hot bartenders, down to earth bouncers. Try the Courtside Bomb shot, yummy!!!
