50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hopkins

“Great experience as our first time!“

“Fun vibes, great staff and wonderful drinks!“

“We love coming here for a couple cocktails and burgers after work! I would definitely suggest coming early in the evening as there is typically a large line waiting by the time we head out between 6-7pm.
The mai tais and burgers are a favorite, and they have Wild State cider available which is great, especially since more than one mai tai can be a bit much!
Service has always been friendly and they're always playing fun music.“

“Amazing cocktails and food!“

“Welcoming bartenders! Amazingly crafted cocktails! The BEST whiskey sour and the old fashioned was also very well done! Came back for mocha martinis to end the night...hands down the best decision! 5 stars!!!“

“If you're heading to a Twins game, skip the stadium food and check out Trópico just steps away. As a Venezuelan, I can honestly say this place is incredible. The food is authentic, flavorful, and made with love. The Arepa Pro and Chicken Arepa are some of the best I’ve had, even compared to back home. Perfectly cooked, generously filled, and absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, with friendly service and colorful decor that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. This is not just a quick bite, it’s a full experience.

Support this amazing small business and treat yourself to real Latin flavor. Trópico is a gem near the stadium and it deserves all the love. You won’t regret it.“

“Loved it. Great for a date night.“

“Just found out about these guys and was blown away!! Amazing selection of spirits and cocktail menu is A+. Bartenders know their ish. Will be back soon!“

“Love the food, and atmosphere.“

“Love this place!!! Finally was able to go! I went during the Halloween season so I was able to try something off their Halloween drinks and off their normal menu. We liked all the drinks we ordered! The staff were super nice and chill and had great knowledge of the drink they were making and had great descriptions about the drinks! The atmosphere was the greatest!! So cute dimlights yet bright with all the starlight going around too! Highly recommend for date night!“

“So good! Excellent customer service and the food is to die for! 100% recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family!“

“-Vinai MN- My friend and I wanted to try Chef Yia's restaurant due to being homesick and wanting hmong food. We were met with such great service and sat where we could see the work area. Chef Yia was so kind and started us off with a complimentary appetizer, rice Curry balls. We ordered and the food came so fast. As soon as I took a bite, my eyes started to get teary because it tasted like food from home. I started fanning myself to not cry which Chef Yia saw and asked if the food was too spicy. We then started to explain that we were not from MN and were feeling a bit homesick and how the food reminded us of home. Chef Yia then said, here let's do this. He returned with a pot of beef soup that consisted of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, beef and green onion and white rice and shared that this dish was one of those dishes that we would eat at gathering and events. We we so shocked and so at loss with his kindness and compassion. We both took a bite and immediately lighted up. It tasted like my mom's cooking 💓. As we were nearing the end of our meal, Chef Yia told us not to stuff ourselves too full and surprised us with a complimentary dessert which further awed us. We were so lost at words for Chef Yia's kindness, generosity and comfort. We chose the Lava Cake and it was soooo good! I normally don't like sweets but we devoured this 😋. 1000/10 would recommend.“

“Want an AMAZING dinner? Then this is your place! We had the collard greens dip and the Minnesota Meal. Both were outstanding! Will be back - and will bring friends!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥place & love the area I recommend everybody to get the experience“

“Perfect food and vibes. I’ll be back.“

“An unforgettable first date night experience with my husband! We dined at this beautiful restaurant for the first time and were truly impressed. The food was sophisticated, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented—each dish felt like a special occasion. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. What stood out even more was seeing the owner so hands-on and present, ensuring everything ran smoothly. You can tell this place is run with passion and care. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Our server and the staff were amazing! We came in to celebrate a birthday and they made our night so special. The complimentary items were a surprise that added to our positive experience. The overall vibe and ambiance was lovely! I acknowledge you're a sushi place, but a few more vegan or vegetarian options would have been appreciated as 2 of the 5 people at our table were vegetarians.“

“Recently stopped by this super cute Tiki Bar. Great experience! The food and cocktails were awesome. Staff and servers were very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was very cool. Looking forward to hanging out on their patio very soon. I especially LOVE that they don't do the stupid and annoying QR code thing like lots of other restaurants these days. Nice to go somewhere and have an actual menu to look at and a human server who can answer questions, etc. Will definitely go back!“

“The venue is a little too “homie” for my tastes, but the food was amazing!“

“wife and I drove 6 hours to eat here. we have made the trip multiple times over the years. came in Wednesday early afternoon and got great service. I wish I could remember her name, I would give her 5 stars. love coal fired pizza.“

“Love this place. Kitchen is open late. Drinks are tasty. Food is excellent. Staff is so friendly. 😁“

“Highly recommend Mr. Paul's Supper Club for a fun night with friends or a date night. I would suggest you make a reservation as it was hopping even on a Sunday night. We sat at the full service bar with Dante hooking us up all evening. He is skilled in his craft, made an amazing Old Fashioned and provided excellent drink and food recommendations. Food was absolutely awesome starting with some oysters, main course of lobster gnocchi finishing with apple crisp. Diverse menu with plenty of options. Courtney treated us like kings and took the time to ensure we were well taken care of from start to finish! Great experience, go see em' you won't be disappointed. #MrPaulsSupperClub #edinarestaurants #ThingsToDoInEdina #50thAndFrance“

“Love this place! Love every single drink that was served here I'm so happy that I don't need to think about the next drink to order and just tell them what I'm looking for in a drink! The bartenders are super knowledgeable and cool and knows how to carry a conversation and not be awkward! And the music might be a bit loud for people but still taxable and I personally really like dimmed places!“

“Had a great time tonight at Tequila Butcher celebrating a friend's birthday. Great food, great drinks, Ryan was our waiter, great fun!“

“The space may be small but is very clean, beautifully decorated and has a group of amazing staff. The breakfast skillet was loaded with scrumptious potatoes, sausage, onions, egg and cheese served with THE best tasting whole grain bread. The special Apple Fritter “not sure the rest” with the homemade dunking sauces were heavenly. Highly recommend, and yes it is worth the wait.“

“I, quite literally, had the best meal of my life here! We shared the samosas, grilled scallops, grilled salmon, butter chicken, and a ginger chaitini. The flavor in these dishes was something I have never experienced at any other restaurant. They genuinely have a menu that caters to everyone’s likes and tastes. The service was wonderful and the owner was incredibly kind and eager to share his passion with us. I will 100000% be coming back and I highly recommend you go as well!“

“This place was absolutely amazing! I ordered the salt & pepper fried tofu (as everyone recommended) and it did not disappoint — perfectly crispy and flavorful. I also tried three different soup base options with loads of fresh veggies, and everything was delicious, but my favorite by far was the spicy Szechuan base — rich, bold, and just the right amount of heat. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. They confirmed the peanut sauce is vegan, but the Thai chili sauce contains fish sauce, so keep that in mind. The atmosphere is cozy with low lighting — perfect for warming up on a cold Minneapolis day or for a relaxed date night. Would definitely come back next time I’m in town!“

“First time here and I highly recommend it. Great food and big portions for your money. Will return!!“

“Food was very good. My mom got the shrimp lemon and chicken pasta which was FANTASTIC 10/10 on that. My dad got the pot roast stroganoff which was also fantastic another 10/10. I got the prime rib French dip which the sandwich was fantastic, however the au jus was very bland which was disappointing. The tater tots were awesome. Would definitely eat here again!!“

“Came here with our kickball team after a game and we all were happy with the last minute pick. Efficient and extremely tasty food, good happy hour deal, nice patio, and very kind staff! Will absolutely be back here! Highly recommend the Birria tostada wrap, elote, churros, and chicken verde salsa tacos!“

“First visit here for a birthday dinner. Honestly, I'm surprised this place wasn't packed with people. The food is outstanding, interesting ingredients, unique combinations, a 4 Page cocktail list, and unexpected desserts. All of this in an elegant atmosphere with a server who was always quietly checking in. We had a lovely evening and I can't recommend this restaurant more highly!“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“Great food. Homemade taste. Locally sourced. Affordable. Friendly, efficient service.“

“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.“

“My waiter Addison was great and very attentive. However, the short rib sandwich was over cooked and over priced. On line there were a couple of items that I didn't see on the actual menu while at the restaurant. We were given the lunch menu at the front door, this really confused me, later Addison eventually figured it out. The rest of the experience was nice. The comedy acts were funny, except for the second to last guy, that totally bombed, as part of his act was to call all women bitches. He was poorly prepared, and otherwise was not funny at all, and should not be invited back.“

“they were super sweet and the food came super fast! The food was pretty good but a bit expensive! Family friendly and good drink options as well!“

“Food is amazing and so was our server Abraham!“

“The food and drinks were great. Highly recommend this place. Tequila selection is amazing.“

“New menu coming in March!“

“Went here on the 4th of July for dinner,one word...AMAZING!!!“

“Everything I have tried has been amazing. Also the marks are so good! The new shimp option is very good!“

“Such a fun place with the BEST steaks! Great cocktail list too. Would highly recommend.“

“We’ve used Mr Pig for the last few years for many birthday parties and it is always a crowd pleaser. Our guests love the hog roasts and augratin potatoes as their favorites 🙂. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hog roast/catering service for their parties!! Most importantly, it comes highly approved by our favorite birthday boy 🐶 who gets to see his BFF’s each summer for his very own birthday plate 😁 🐶.“

“Visiting Pittsburgh and this was a great stop with a friendly staff (Kudos Tyrone) and great drinks! Fun time with the putt putt (beat my husband). If in Pittsburgh area this is a must stop!“

“Wonderful ambience, incredibly talented musicians. You really couldn’t ask for anymore.“

“Went here on the 4th of July for dinner,one word...AMAZING!!!“

“Just got a personal Hawaiian pizza! No matter what you get...always great! The young man host was EXCEPTIONAL that checked me out ( he brought my pizza to my car and went inside to grab extra blue cheese dressing for me.) If only he knew...his kindness was the light I needed during a really rough day. Thank you!“

“I have loved Dusty's for many years; and a Dago Works with potato salad is always a winner!“

“Excellent service! Abbi W was our server and she made the dinner so much better! Good food doesn’t matter without good service. We will definitely be back and ask for Abbi!“
