Brit's Pub, British pub and restaurant in Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, United States.
Brit's Pub is a British-style pub on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, with indoor bars, a dining area, and outdoor terraces on multiple levels. At the top, a rooftop garden holds a regulation grass lawn bowling green open to guests.
Brit's Pub opened in 1990 as a straightforward bar on Nicollet Mall and gradually grew into a multi-floor venue with outdoor spaces and a rooftop. Its growth followed the broader revival of the Nicollet Mall corridor over the following decades.
The pub draws fans of British sports who gather to watch football and rugby matches on large screens during major events. The mix of American regulars and visitors from abroad gives the place a relaxed, cross-cultural energy that feels natural rather than staged.
The pub sits directly on Nicollet Mall and is easy to reach on foot from the downtown core, with street-level access. The rooftop lawn bowling area fills up quickly on warm days, so arriving earlier in the day gives you a better chance of getting a spot.
The rooftop lawn bowling green is laid with real grass and built to regulation size, which is almost unheard of on top of a building in an American city. Staff can explain the rules on the spot, so no prior experience with the sport is needed.
