Sweet Child of Vine is one of my all time favorite IPAs. Bring friends and play games in the taproom.
One of the best, and coziest, taprooms in the Twin Cities. I like their Day Tripper. As is par for the course, yes, there is a food truck outside.
For whatever reason, this place is popular with bikers. Like, bicyclists. Not the leather jacket kind. Well, some of them wear leather jackets. Not the point, though. Drink beer!
Come to me, beautiful molten cheese center. Make sure to wait a minute before chowing on your Jucy Lucy (or just cut it in half) and order a refreshing Grain Belt Premium while you wait.
Unbelievably good coffee, and all brewed by hand using Chemex. Try the Guatemale if they have it in - phenomenal taste.
Stumptown and Verve coffee available, and some very cool spaces inside to enjoy it. Check out the back room!
Ugh. Herzog & de Meuron can do no wrong. Oh, the art inside the building ain't shabby either.
Fantastic mixologists--so break out of old habits, let them mix a drink for you to your savory vs sweet liking. I'm drinking dill aquavit in their Astrid Projection tonight!
I'm a fan of the huevos rancheros. Nothing to write home about, but they get the job done.
It's good for sit down dinners, but it's truly great for drunk slices after a show at First Avenue.
As always from Dogwood, awesome espresso and pour-over coffee. Still miss Parka a bit, though.
Snag a fresh croissant and a cappuccino (with delicious Dogwood espresso) and sit at the bar to enjoy.
Long live independent bookstores! Sometimes, you'll get lucky and stumble upon a reading. Stay and listen even if you've never heard of the author!
Impeccable design blending rustic industrial and mid-century Modern. Oh, and just about the perfect pour over.
Before Hard Times, I didn't know that vegetarian food could be so spectacularly filling and delicious. (Or considered delightful drunk food.)
You're pretty much always guaranteed to hear some solid rock and roll music here. It's best as your second or third stop of the night.
Tons of space, sleek mid-century decor and natural light make for an awesome place to get some work done. Their self-roasted coffee is top notch, too.
The fried walleye and chips won't disappoint, nor will the chowder. It's not New England, but it'll do.
Super cool space where they'll mix up a beautiful gin gimlet. Perfectly refreshing after riding your bike here.
As of now, this is the best dining experience you can have in Minneapolis. Every single element of the dinner service was perfect.
That's some good chicken. Tennessee Hot ain't too spicy, so go for it. Don't skip the mac & cheese either, unless you hate joy.
Love the vibe up here. Sure, it might not actually be a secret speakeasy, but it certainly feels that way. Plus, the lounge chairs and dark light are very sexy.
That tortiglioni rossa is the real deal. Nice bone-sticking Italian meal. Get it (and get wine too, duh).
The cool thing about Shaw's is no matter what day, what time, I'm always the most attractive person in here.
Clown Shoes Space Cake: a delicious double IPA from Massachusetts that'll make you happy.
It's Black Sheep, so you know it's gonna be good pizza. I like the 11: Persian beef, feta, cilantro, and Harissa sauce. Sorta spicy, but super delicious.
The Minneapolis restaurant scene continues to be the food version of playing the hits, and this is no exception. Get the elote, mushroom tlayudas, scallops, and Chicken Tinga Tostada.
One of our favorite restaurants in Minneapolis! Cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Do whatever you can to sit at the kitchen bar and strike up a conversation with the chefs!
Get the YOLO, because sodium is important. Also get the Pepe, an homage to a pizza legend, Frank Pepe's in New Haven. Lastly, the Broccolini is proof that vegetarians don't have to be miserable.
