In summer this is a great spot to eat fish and sea food. Lines are long, go on off times. This is right in Minnehaha Park next to Minnehaha Falls and has music at night and a variety of wines and beer.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is really a distillery and they have now tapped the whiskey kegs. They have a Happy Hour but it only goes from 4-6. Drinks are good and very strong using their own gin, vodka or whiskey. I believe they have a coffee liquor too.

This is a newly opened bar for ciders where the fruits used have been "foraged" in our neighborhood and beyond. The ciders are fun and some are unusual. Very close by and sometimes they even have music.

Sightseeing

This is an iconic bridge which crosses the Mississippi below the upper falls of the Mississipi - everyone, I dare say; that visits Minneapolis must walk over this bridge at least once - close to Guthrie Theater if you are going there

A must see in Minneapolis, just the regular exhibits are spectacular enough, but often they have special exhibits. For example, in springtime; the Art in Bloom exhibit which features floral arrangements which are meant to look like the corresponding art pieces. You can check their website for current information.
