I had dinner tonight at the Loft and it was a great experience altogether. The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious. Our bartender, Rylee, was very attentive and made sure to check up on us consistently. I will definitely be coming again, just for her great service.

It’s a happening place for UND and other students and the Grand Forks AFB crowd from what I heard. My friend and I went when there wasn’t any crowd and it was nice. There are games and pool tables and you are allowed to drink while playing. ...

Top tier establishment. Went there the other night and these guys were playing SpongeBob on the TouchTunes. Shoutout to Rylee for skipping it. All the staff from security to management have always been professional, fun, and attentive.

Fun spot to walk in to and get a drink right when you get up the stairs. Fun brews on tap for their mug nights and always have great specials everyday. They have all games from darts to pool tournaments and lots of room to dance the night away.

This place is the top bar in grand forks from not remembering the night to bouncing there! No better community bar than the Loft! Shout out my guy Brett for holding that place down and also shout out Riley for shutting off that kid who played SpongeBob three times! She a real one ...

5 year Loft vet that would not want to get black out wasted anywhere else in town. Plus a custom made playlist that is straight gas with no spongebob. Standard burg slaps, chef Carver should be on hells kitchen fr. Bartenders are my second family, really feels like home.

This bar has a well balanced atmosphere! It has that rustic antique tavern feel to it. For entertainment there are slots, pinball, paid and free pool tables, and a few other games. The food was also delicious! Wings burgers and appetizers make up the majority of their menu. The staff was absolutely amazing! I Would recommend this place!
