About

Black Forest Inn doesn't look like most gay-friendly spots in Minneapolis. It's a family-owned German pub run by the Christ family since 1965. The atmosphere is authentic, with dark wood and classic pub decor. A cobblestone courtyard hosts a whimsical beer garden. The crowd leans mixed gay straight, making it a comfortable spot for anyone.

Hours are the same every day: 3pm to 9pm. That gives you a window for early dinner or a pre-nightcap beer. The courtyard is the main draw in warm weather. If you're exploring Dinkytown, it's a solid choice for European food.
