Featured Bars and Clubs


http://www.hubertsmpls.com The Target Center location of Hubert's shares a name and a lineage with the sports bar that's been a Metrodome-vicinity fixture since 1984. But where the original location cozily serves the Vikings crowd these days, this Hubert's massive size more comfortably accommodates pre- and post-game visitors from the full-to-capacity Target Field crowd, as well as concert and Timberwolves attendees in the same building. If you can't get a ticket to the big game just a few dozen yards away, Hubert's gigantic sports memorabilia collection and TVs in every conceivable viewing area (yes, including the restrooms) should help make up for it.

http://www.jetsetbar.com If you're in the mood for a little slice of Manhattan, this hip, minimalist bar aims to please. The layout is heavy on whitewashed walls, stainless steel and black leather furniture, accented by neon blue and purple lighting. Compared to the handful of other GLBT bars in town, Jetset features a more mature, impeccably dressed crowd, a solid selection of dance beats, and bartenders to pour you a martini that will make you forget you're in Minneapolis (maybe literally). This urbanite's dream is easy to miss; there's no sign hanging anywhere, and the entry is barely lit, save for a little jet plane lit up in the top corner of the window. But it's that stealthy approach that makes this venue feel ultra-exclusive. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.kierans.com After a 16-year run in their old location on 2nd Avenue, Kieran's relocation into Block E has proven to be a boon for the venerable downtown Minneapolis Irish pub. Live Celtic music, classic yet lively decor and a wide selection of affordable yet creative menu items make it a good destination for gameday, happy hour and dining-out crowds alike.

http://www.leesliquorlounge.com This wood-paneled honky tonk bar has seen a bit of renovation and redecoration since Target Field sprung up a stone's throw away. But make no mistake: Lee's Liquor Lounge is still the same home to working-class country, roots and rock music it's been for years, and it's a great place to catch a show and tip back a beer or two without blowing your budget.

http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/index.html The Living Room is the W Hotel's ultra-posh centerpiece, perfect for sipping fine cocktails by candlelight or dancing to a live DJ into the wee hours. The club is arranged like no living room you've ever seen, with an immense floor plan dotted with Art Deco sofas, ornate lighting, enormous leather chairs and an open fireplace. Check out the sky-high selection of liquors climbing the walls, or rent the attached Speakeasy for private occasions. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.the-local.com How much wood would a wood-carver carve if a wood-carver would have free rein to fill up an enormous space with bars and sculptures and snugs and whatnot? Answer: A lot of wood. A lot. This much wood makes you crave an Irish whiskey and a pint of Harp, which are exactly what the Local seems to sell a billion of on a Saturday night. So it's a great place to drink, a swell place to collect the phone numbers of comely strangers. And if you know what the gossip columns have reported happened in that one snug off near the bathrooms, give yourself extra points for knowing your Twin Cities tongue-twisters down cold.

http://www.skywaytheatre.com Like the larger music room downstairs, the upper level of the Skyway Theatre hosts frequent DJ and live music nights, especially focusing on cutting-edge electronic dance artists in genres ranging from techno to dubstep. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.thelooncafe.com One of the tip-top see-and-be-seen destinations for older U students and younger corporate suits. The fact that their burgers are spectacular doesn't help keep the crowds down. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.theloopmpls.com The Loop boasts the largest 360-degree bar in Minneapolis, though it's far from their only selling point: happy hour deals on their excellent appetizers and a large drink menu are more substantial draws. It can get crowded on game days and weekends, but even then the atmosphere's more vibrant than stifling. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.lyonspub.com Located right in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, Lyon's pub has been a convenient and welcoming place to meet up before or after any big event since 1984. With a spacious new addition, Lyon's Pub can easily handle the crowds, while also providing free shuttles to patrons before Vikings games. The bar also features affordable specials during its happy-hour, a wide-ranging menu, and deals on game days as well. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.mackenziepub.com A busy hangout for show goers from the State, Pantages and Orpheum theaters, as well as Target Field fans willing to walk a few blocks. A scenic place to grab a selection from the extensive specialty beer list. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
In its place at the front of the Nicollet Mall Milennium Hotel, Martini's makes no attempt to tuck itself out of the way -- just turn your head to the left after entering the revolving doors, and there it is. This play at visible accessibility makes Martini's one of the more up-front and inviting hotel lobby bars in the downtown area, and its namesake drinks make it one of the classiest.

http://www.marvelbar.com This speakeasy at the back of The Bachelor Farmer is where the term "liquoratti" was aptly coined. The drinks are astounding, boundary-pushing, and delicious. Pip Hanson sets about creating new cocktail sensations like a Zen master. The room is perfectly dim, elegantly furnished, and perfectly constructed to woo the cool kids. Just be certain to grab a bite before you go; Marvel Bar serves the best drinks in town, but they don't serve food. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.memorylanesmpls.com Bowling and rock music collide here on a regular basis. The stage is set up across four of the 30 lanes on weekend nights so you can go for that elusive 300 game while rocking out to cover bands, local bands and a smattering of touring bands from nearby states. In front is The Flashback Cafe with a menu featuring burger and fries-type fare. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.townhallbrewery.com One of the best brew pubs in the city, the Town Hall Brewery boasts a 36-foot mahogany bar, 5 on-site-brewed beers (including West Bank Pub Ale), a whole bunch of single-malt scotches, and some first rate burgers. Two big rooms and patio seating give it an expansive, lively feel. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
A fixture of the Warehouse District dating back to the days when those buildings housed the gears of Minnesota industry instead of condos, the Monte Carlo has spent more than a century as one of the classic gems of city dining. Sandwiches, a ruling Caesar salad, and a laid-back Sunday brunch make Monte Carlo a convivial place to be. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.thenewsroommpls.com The News Room is probably too bright and cheery to be an "authentic" newspaper hangout, but it certainly is an inviting place for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a drink. The menu hits plenty of highlights at each meal, from steak and eggs for breakfast to the vegetarian "Tree Hugger" for lunch to a salmon dinner and Chicken Roulade, which has a breast stuffed with goat cheese, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes, all wrapped in a brick pastry. Breakfasts are typically under $10, with lunch sandwiches running a bit more and dinners ranging up to the mid $30s for several steak items. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.nomadpub.com There's sports bars, and then there's the Nomad: the West Bank watering hole -- home to an immense selection of tap beers from around the world -- has proven to be a Minnesotan soccer fan's best friend by becoming one of the best places to catch footie tournaments on TV. They also boast a great patio, an enclosed lawn tailor-made for bocce, and a stage that features regular visits from up-and-coming local bands. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.odonovans.com This classic Irish bar benefits from a prime location -- a short distance from Target Center, Target Field, and Hennepin's theater district -- but it's not just its proximity to downtown Minneapolis hotspots that factors into its appeal. A homey atmosphere, replete with welcoming woodwork, plush upholstered seats and a stone fireplace, makes it a classy destination to tip back a few. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.palmersbar.net Palmer's is one of those bars that's just as likely to have a busy Tuesday afternoon as it is to have a packed Friday night. That doesn't necessarily make it a dive, though -- amidst a neighborhood filled with venues offering craft beers and rock shows, it fills a more down-to-earth role as the West Bank's blue-collar neighborhood bar. Amiable staff, an open summer patio and live music by local folk, blues and country notables make it a worthwhile destination. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.starwoodhotels.com Once a private retreat for convicted fraudster and utilities mogul Wilbur Foshay, Prohibition distills contemporary class and shakes in the spirit of alcohol's most infamous era. Swallow your vertigo and ride the elevator from the W Hotel's elegant lobby to the 27th floor, where you'll enjoy spendy signature cocktails in comfortable, candle-lit spaces. Creep into a quiet loft for added solitude, and be sure to check out the skyline views. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
