Great place. Could use some additional external signage to indicate the really terrific restaurant inside. Staff is young and seems a little new at the job but everyone who helped us was eager to find answers to our weird questions and always looked to keep us happy. The food was surprising and very good, especially the charcuterie plate and the grits entree, which blew us all away. Adding delicious cocktails all around, I'd rate this a real winner.
A very nice place for some good Alcohol. The food is also very delicious. I loved the Ambiance and they also have Patio seating.
The staff are very nice and gentle. It is located in a very nice place right on University Avenue off of 280.
The only suggestion would be to please add some more vegetarian options. The menu is short and nice, but please try to accommodate options for people with various lifestyles. The place is definitely on the pricey side.
Overall a nice place for friends and dates.
It’s not every day that you find a cocktail bar like Hodges Bend. This place is refined and classy, but also super friendly and relaxed. Oh, and the drinks are great.
I had a delayed flight leaving Minneapolis, and needed to find someplace near the university to grab a bite and a drink after a really long work day. It was also blazing hot outside. As soon as I entered I was offered a glass of water at my table.
After wrapping up some lingering work tasks, I ordered a Prosperity and a Tobacco Old Fashioned. Both were very well-made. I finished the Prosperity too fast, but I managed to get a photo of the Old Fashioned - the little pink skull was interesting haha.
After my drinks I got the watermelon salad and a burger, also pictured. Both were great.
After a long work day, Hodges was a great place to unwind. I will definitely be back next time I’m in town.
