Stanley's Northeast Bar Room (2500 University Ave. NE, 612-788-2529) is an inviting and casual neighborhood bar that has the best dog patio in town. When it's warm enough, the dogs are invited to dine on the patio with a three-course menu. In the bar itself, the service is friendly, and it's a great place to watch a game with your friends while hoisting a few. The menu is elevated pub grub, including Nordeast pickles, banana foster pancakes, burgers (there's a vegan one), and bowls. If you're a chocolate lover, you have to try their chocolate explosion bread pudding with chocolate ice cream.
