Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Albert Lea

For what was thought to be the go to burger in the Twin Cities, I'm not sure if Parlour is even a top five burger in the Metro anymore. Solid spot prior to a Wild game though.

Very crowded in a Wednesday evening, but we got a round table in the middle of the restaurant for six people. We could hear each other well despite the background noise. Good energy, excellent attentive, service. Menu is relatively small, but all six items were very good to excellent. Salmon, steak special, flatbread pizza, and skol burger all well rated very good to excellent. Second time here, will return. 

Great menu selection, consistently wonderful food, attentive service.

We have visited the Beacon at least 10x. It's a great spot on the U of M Campus to have a meal with our student , to have pre-game drinks and food and just to spend time relaxing. The food is good, the staff friendly and the atmosphere is a nice "getaway" near a location that is outnumbered by college student hangouts.

It was a nice place, service was pretty good for a Friday night. I'll admit there is no great parking in this area. So many spaces are blocked off for valet for another restaurant. This made it more of a hassle for folks who don't typically come to this area.
