We went here after a day of exploring the area to scope out neighborhoods to possibly move to from the NYC area... I thought people in our home state were rude but the waitress here literally threw the coasters on the table and seemed more interested in the guys performing at open mic night (which was awful except for one kid who killed it). We couldnt have a conversation. I called before we went in to make sure it wasnt too late to order food but when the waitress got to the table 10 minutes after we sat she said "we stop serving that menu in literally 4 minutes so if you want something pick, like, now". So incredibly rude. Other waitresses were just sitting at the bar with friends. I guess based on the behavior of the waitresses I shouldnt have been surprised to see a vending machine in the bathroom which the sole use was to sell $3 pregnancy tests. The womens bathroom alsp smelled of stale urine. Needless to say this place left a really bad taste in my mouth (and not just from the bland and hard as a rock French fries).

As a new face to Mankato Ive never felt so welcome anywhere else. From the bar tenders, to the waiters and waitresses, the kitchen cooks, and even Bob the dishwasher. Customer service is what they strive for and they provide. These people make you feel like theyve been friends with you since high school and the meals are unlike anywhere else in Mankato, with a variety of dishes that will leave your mouth watering for more. I recommend this place to everyone I meet in the Mankato area. If you are new to town or coming back to town for the first, second, or third time since the 70s, 80s, or 90s stop in and see Pete, or any one of the staff at the bar,and they will take care of you, and your family as well as provide a few laughs along the way. Seriously, a fun, welcoming, people pleasing atmosphere that is difficult to find now days.

Always fantastic food! I highly suggest the wings- the best I have ever had. I do feel the menu is a good value. Good portion sizes and high quality food. Definitely the place to go for a night out for some drinks/good company.Plenty of nice flat screen TVs to watch the game and still be able to hold a conversation with the people you are with. Servers are quick to refill your beer and provide that good service you seek when you go out to eat/drink. A bar scene yet nice sit down atmosphere. Very clean and refined atomosphere. I say go there at least once- you will want to go back for more!

Went there for brunch today. It started out with a bang. One of the best Bloody Marys I have had. I was just about to dive into my bacon and eggs and they were cold! Not even lukewarm just cold. Bacon and eggs taste terrible served anything but piping hot. The prices are on the high side for a bar menu and especially if its not done right. All in all I was disappointed. Drinks=good Food=overpriced and cold. I am sure I will go back, but not for brunch.

Worse place ever in Mankato had a other customer attempt to pour her beer on me for obeying their no smoking untill 9pm rule on the patio manager at the time was awesome but when brought up to the owner of the establishment we got asked to leave after I was basically assaulted go elsewhere warm beer too try rounders just across the street much better and way better service

I have been here many times for drinks, and for drinks its a nice change of pace. As far a food goes, not so great. The food was nothing special and fairly bland. Our waitress looked as though she was ready to go work out, not ready to work. We were not checked on very often and had to ask for things a few times.

Ive always had lousy service at Pub 500, which is a shame, because it is such a nice looking place, great atmosphere! Its hard to get peoples attention, the bartenders are inattentive, and the food/drinks are overpriced for what you get. Watch out and go across the street to the best bar in town, Blue Bricks!!!

Good food menu, especially for fans of seasoned wings and slow-cooked meats. Three season patio and nice dining room in this newly-remodeled venue make for a nice dining experience. Easily the most low-key and "adult" option for evening food/drink in Mankatos downtown entertainment district.

Great selection of beer and delicious pub food that isnt just burgers. I havent found anything on the menu yet that I havent enjoyed. Staff are polite and they offer nightly happy hour deals that are reasonable. The patio is a great place to relax in the summer with a drink after work!

This is our go to lunch spot when we visit Mankato to see our Mother. I really like the turkey sandwich, while my wife & Mother both enjoyed the black bean burger. The service is always very attentive, although it has never been that busy at during our lunch visits.

The girlfriend and I were just combing through rural MN and we came to Mankato. Got a room for the night and then went out drinking. Pub 500 was a pretty welcoming place. The bar tender (Peter) was warm, welcoming and entertaining. Worth every penny.

Customer service satisfaction at its best here at pub 500. The Mgr was very polite. Came to my table to ensure I was enjoying my lunch...food was good, service was great all around....This Was My First Time Here but It Certainly Wont be My Last

We love this place and try to make it a point to come down at least once a week for their wonderful food and great beer selection and we consistently get Brittany as our server and couldnt be happier five out of five all the way!

Clean, the music is usually passable, the food is good, plenty of beers to try, and the games are on but the TVs arent invasive. Quality place, and their breakfast is top notch. Dont leave without a bloody mary, if you can help it.

Popped in before KISS at Verizon Center... Had a few drinks which were all good, but the bill came and was a little pricey. Got a *perfect* Black and Tan and they gave me the extra bass lager they used in it to top my drink off!

Good hangout for grown-ups. If youre looking for a great atmosphere and wide selection of beers, Pub 500 is great. Food is mediocre: its okay, but doesnt match the price. The homemade potato chips are the one item you should try.

The service was great along with the food. The workers were enjoyable to watch as you could tell they got along well. The bands are fun to watch. I didnt realize they served breakfast too, so that will be my next visit there!!

Great sweet potato fries and if you are in the mood for a walleye sandwich, they have a really good one! I like trying new beers here, they have so many I havent tried them all yet, but its fun to experiment.

Either this place is too loud or Im too old. I do applaud the good work these people do in the events they host, but the band accoustics are awful. The food is OK and I do like the spag. feeds they do.
