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.

We were seated as soon as we arrived in a large comfortable booth as we had requested. Our server was Shannon and she was friendly and did an excellent job. Our food and drinks were tasty and made to order. We’ve been there several times. It’s a great start before a gopher hockey game.

We checked in with the hostess and we were immediately seated in a comfortable booth as we had requested. Our server, Breta, was very friendly, pleasant and knowledgeable. She did a great job. Our food was tasty as were drinks. We had a nice meal before we went off to watch the Minnesota Gophers hockey game.

Nice to have a reservation so you know you’ll be seated. Busy, crowded and NOISY on Gopher game nights. Staff is excellent at handling the rush. They get the food and drinks out in prompt fashion and don’t get rattled by the crush. Short walks to the various arenas. Want to keep The Graduate a secret so I can always get a table!!!!

The Beacon Public House has a new menu as of a week or so ago. My wife and I tried the Pork Belly Bowl and Carne Asada Tacos, both were very good and could be easily a meal unto themselves. In addition, I had the Pappardelle Bolognese. It was good and a lighter pasta option, but I would have liked a bit more flavors included to provide a more gastronomic experience. As always, the service was outstanding, not only with our server, but with those around the restaurant including the bar tender and hostess. An overall very enjoyable experience!
