27 Best Wine Bars in Minneapolis

“Milly’s is an absolute gem in Minneapolis! The wine selection is impressive, with a great variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options that catered perfectly to our group. The food, especially the charcuterie boards, was delicious and beautifully presented. Don’t miss out on the French onion soup! Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. A special shoutout to Timothy, the sommelier, who was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick the perfect pairings for our meal. And the owner, Brandon, was so welcoming and personable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I chose to celebrate our one year anniversary here today. It was both of our first times dining at Broders’ and we enjoyed everything about this wonderful experience! Upon arriving we were attempting to take a selfie photo outside and one of the employees opened the front door and asked us if we would like him to take our photo. Tyson so kindly took several photo angles and opened up the door for us as we walked in. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s warm and inviting home. Our sweet waitress helped me select the most delectable glass of wine I have ever tasted. Words cannot explain how delicious the pasta was… we lapped up every single drop and were in absolute food heaven. To top it all off… we were treated to a free dessert of our choosing along with two chocolate cocoa truffles on the house!! After we finished our meal we went across the street to their storefront to purchase some pasta and sauce to enjoy at some point in the coming weeks. We will definitely be back for all special occasions and certainly for our two year anniversary. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience and meal this is the place!! Enjoy!“

“We absolutely love The Tasting Room! Every time we go it feels like a little culinary exploration. This time we had the charcuterie board with a wine flight and finished with the lava cake and dessert wine, and everything was phenomenal!

Nico and Drew is always so helpful and makes the best suggestions. We love being able to tell them what we like and have them recommend different wines and pairings for us to try. It crates a unique experience and is so much fun. One of the reasons we keep coming back.

The food, the wine, the atmosphere and the service are always amazing. Definitely one of our favorite places!“

“Love this place. I feel comfortable going there by myself and just sitting at the bar.“

“Phenomenal dining experience!!\nDifficult to choose from so many choices!! Quality is amazing, portions are generous, and scrumptious!!\nWe enjoyed the octopus, bruschetta with ricotta and tomatoes, mushroom confit, branzino and pasta with tuna. \nOur served, Sidney, was professional, kind, and very careful with our food allergies. She’s an incredible asset to your restaurant!!\nWho would have thought you could get such an incredible Italian meal in Minneapolis? This place is a must!!“

“-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.“

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

“Small Hours was on my list and although we had little time we could make it for a glass of wine. I loved the atmosphere and how cozy it was. Since I am from Spain I checked both their wine and food menu and I was very pleased with their selection. They closed after we left and Bobby from Phoebe Bridgers started playing - It was just magical to hear it from the very dark street. A 10/10.“

“I can't get enough of this place! I've been here many times and have loved every single visit. Last night we celebrated my birthday there, and Venus and Eva made my night so special.

The vibes are always great, the food never disappoints, good music, and incredible service.“

“I represent the old school that remembers this as Anthony's Warf. Back when they played Grateful Dead before the preppy crowd showed up. Loved this spot back in that day.
A group of college buddies and I decided to re-create our wonderful happy hour days there under its new name, the Cabana Club.
I got there early, around 4 o'clock, to reserve a table for 6 - 8 people. They were totally unwilling to work with me, saying that they needed at least half my group to be able to give me a table. Then, when half my group showed up, they still would not give me a table for six. Make up your mind! We ended up with six people, crammed around a table for four. Not the end of the world but ...
That being said, they had a good crowd on a Tuesday night. Just keep it in mind that they won't accommodate your group unless they all show up on time. Unrealistic.
Once we had a table, our server, Matt, was outstanding. HH beer at $5 was a good deal and the HH Smash Burgers were very good. Still an outstanding location.“

“We had a fabulous dinner! Our waiter was Patrick who made our evening grand! Highly recommend this steakhouse!“

“This restaurant is 100% the G.O.A.T for the Twin Cities restaurant scene. It has for many years been consistently excellent in all aspects. Derek D, our server tonight, was excellent. Host team did a great job accommodating our table request. The food is perfection.“

“The coffee and treats are excellent, great staff, and a lovely space in the atrium to sit for a few.“

“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.“

“We had a great dinner last week with our family of eight! Bethany was our server and she was fabulous!!“

“Someone at The Capital Grille must have read Will Guidara’s Unreasonable Hospitality, because this experience was such a perfect example of what it means to make people feel genuinely special.

In casual conversation, we mentioned that we were headed to a show at the Orpheum that evening and that we had gotten married three weeks earlier. That was it. We weren’t there celebrating our wedding or expecting any special recognition.

But they listened.

Before we knew it, little confetti hearts appeared on our table, and later they surprised us with a complimentary dessert, beautifully arranged on a tray to acknowledge our recent marriage.

They were small gestures, but that’s exactly what made them so meaningful. They noticed something personal, remembered it, and found a way to turn an ordinary dinner before a show into an experience that felt uniquely ours.

The food was fantastic, but what we’ll remember most is how they made us feel. Thoughtful, unexpected, personal hospitality like this is rare, and The Capital Grille absolutely nailed it.“

“We were looking for a place for an anniversary brunch, and found this. Great patio seating, view of the lake (we’re going for a walk around the lake when we finish), fantastic food. We split a dish and it was plenty. And they do a refill on drip coffee.

We are 100% satisfied and will return!“

“This coffee shop is adorable! Get the lavender London Fog, it might be the best ever!“

“The coffee and treats are excellent, great staff, and a lovely space in the atrium to sit for a few.“

“My first time my husband and I had dinner here it was wonderful. Food was top notch. Service with our server, Jenny, was impeccable. When there was an issue with our food, Zack, the manager for the evening, went above and beyond to make things right. We will be back.“

“Wonderful environment, delightful atmosphere, Delicious food and extremely friendly employees is what greeted me. Definitely will return.“

“Restaurant quality food and drink for half the price and the best scenery in the twin cities.“

“Fun place to hang out with ny husband for date night. Cocktails were great, loved the piano music. Would return“

“they are renovating their kitchen therefore they only had raw sushi available. this just sucked because we were not told until we sat down. i made a reservation for my partners birthday so it sucked we had to pivot and go to another restaurant.“

“The turkey leg from The Kitchen by Baked Brand is straight fire🔥 so tender, flavorful, and addictive I could honestly eat one every day. The mac and cheese is hands down the best I’ve ever had creamy, cheesy, and perfectly baked. My only suggestion would be to leave the turkey leg whole, so I can enjoy breaking into it myself!“

“Went there for breakfast. Unfortunately the bar was open during my stay but breakfast was served there. Typical grab and go stuff but the hot breakfast item they did have was amazing and really good value. I was stuffed after eating that breakfast“

“In Fargo, service is not great. i had one bite of my meal and told waiter he could take it. He never asked why, if anything was wrong, just grabbed it and walked away. I wasn't expecting anything other than for him to know why my meal was not hardly touched. He never came back to table until he brought us the bill.“
