50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hopkins

“Great experience as our first time!“

“Fun vibes, great staff and wonderful drinks!“

“Amazing cocktails and food!“

“Dang. I'm gonna have to come back, like, immediately. Their french onion dip, wet martini, lemon drop cocktail, and egg sandwich (yes, you're reading that correctly) were all so freaking good! They get pretty crowded on a weekday after 6:30, so maybe plan to get there a little early.“

“I’ve been to L2 2-3 times now, I am obsessed with the green sauce chicken and the Ube fries!! The drinks are creative and strong too (love the tom yum drink)! Service has been just ok every time I went and some of the fried apps are a little over-seasoned/salted but otherwise a place I will prob frequent more!“

“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.“

“Came here for the cool atmosphere and cocktails but what wowed me the most was the unbelievable food. Every dish we tried was delicious and unique. They put in your food orders one at a time as you need them so the food was fresh and hot every time it came out.

Our server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and the atmosphere was very unique and fun for a date night. Would highly recommend!“

“-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.“

“Love the food, and atmosphere.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“They have great food with tons of vegan options and a wonderful patio! Today I ordered my favorite dish a roti wrap and it accidentally came with chicken instead of the vegan chickpea version. That’s never happened to me there before. They felt really bad about it and made me a new one and comped my meal and that of my friend. That is above and beyond an excellent customer service. I highly recommend.“

“Great food and great service! Highly recommend!“

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

“Great business that cares about our future, city, and ALL of the people of Minnesota! Viva NightingaleMPLS!“

“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“

“I’ve now been here twice, both times with a reservation, and it just doesn’t live up to the hype everyone gives it. The food is delicious but I’d just recommend just going to the actual restaurant. No matter where you get seated it will feel cramped and you will be really close to your neighbors. The staff was super nice but rarely checked on us, it took an hour to get our first round of drinks BOTH times I’ve been.“

“I can’t begin to say how much we enjoyed our dinner here. Highly recommend it!“

“Good cocktail bar with a fun tiki-style atmosphere and a relaxed social vibe. The setting seems great for tropical drinks, casual conversation, or a night out with friends. Prices are on the higher side, so it feels better for a special stop or evening drink rather than a quick budget visit.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This restaurant in Minnesota is truly a wonderful find. Today, I had the pleasure of trying the trio appetizer, which included ribs, cream cheese wontons, and egg rolls. I also ordered the fried pot stickers and the Black Pepper Pork Belly. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and the flavors were even more impressive. My favorite among the appetizers was the coconut cream cheese wontons; it was my first time trying them with coconut, and the flavor was absolutely remarkable, making them a unique and special item. The egg rolls and pot stickers were delightfully crunchy, warm, and full of delicious flavors. The accompanying hot sauce and their house-made sweet and mildly spicy sauce were also quite enjoyable.

I would highly recommend this establishment if you are looking to have a pleasant time and engaging conversation with your cherished loved ones.“

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

“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.“

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

“I’ve been wanting to eat here for a while and today was the day! I had the Breakfast Burrito and my friend had the Poutine. Both were incredible and the best vegan food I’ve had. I’ve been vegan for many years, but even those who don’t typically follow a plant based diet will love this place. Great coffee and friendly employees. I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything! Wait time was accurate, food was outstanding in presentation AND taste, staff was warm, welcoming, and friendly. We will be back!“

“The food always hits so good! I love eating here and the portions are giant! The drink list is also fantastic. Can't wait until its warmer to enjoy their patio again!“

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

“This place is amazing! food is on top! they make you feel like family!!! Overall the best place i’ve been too!!!!!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Dusty’s is a NE MPLS treasure. Live music & DJs + cheap drinks!“

“Delicious food and fun atmosphere!“

“We had a table of six last night and everything was delicious! The atmosphere was beautiful and the vibe was laid back but buzzy. 100% recommend!“

“I stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Ramp Valet service was greatly appreciated. The atmosphere of the restaurant was awesome, the house old fashioned was perfect, the house burger and fries excellent.
The waitress told me it was happy hour so the already reasonable prices were even less.
As I was leaving a band was setting up.
If I lived a little closer this place would be a regular spot for me.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Heidi was so helpful! The food was fresh and well seasoned. Great tasting guacamole and fresh made chips! Clean inviting space! Chipotle never again!“

“Just went here for drinks and small plates and really enjoyed it! I will say it's a lot darker irl than in the photos, so I'd suggest sitting at a booth or at the bar. Those spaces appeared to have more candles n lights. Also, the door is in the back of the building, don't go through Porzana. I had a couple drinks, empanadas, and dessert. Everything was tasty. Yes it's a spendy place, but I feel like you do get what you pay for. Will definitely come back to celebrate some occasion soon.“

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

“Great cocktails and brunch in a fun, comfortable atmosphere. Our bartender was friendly and they have a nice, dog friendly patio. Will definitely go back!“
