50 Best Cocktail Bars near St. Louis Park

“Loved it. Great for a date night.“

“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!!“

“I’m a local to the area and decided to go to the reveal rooftop to have some birthday drinks, and it was the best decision. The night was great, the atmosphere was great, the drinks and the food were great too. Brian helped to take care of us and he did a fabulous job!“

“I've been to this location four times, the food has been great everytime, my favorite is the deviled egg open face sandwich and banana bread latte. Even the busier times I've visited the service has been good and attentive. Couple things to note, seating near the door can be pretty uncomfortable especially on a cold day and there is an hour limit per table, which is not based on when your order is taken or receiving your order but from when you arrive at your table, even if they're busy and orders are taken well after you've been seated. Two minutes after collecting payment we were informed of this rule, although the host wasn't rude when sharing this it felt a little less than appreciative of our business, not sure I'll return because of this.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch on the patio. Was interested in a bitters & soda and the server recommended mixing the rhubarb and cardamom, which was delicious and refreshing. Followed that with the Chix Correa sandwich and a side salad. Wow! Really creative flavors and well-executed. Could tell everything was made from scratch and with high quality ingredients and care. Also the decor was fun and hip, the music top-notch, and the staff kind. I look forward to coming back soon!“

“Fun vibes, great staff and wonderful drinks!“

“Steady Pour is great for any event! They have such a wide verity! Thier bartending team is wonderful. I also love to just purchase thier mocktails to take home and make out own.“

“Great menu for GF, Vegan, and Vegetarian as well as for meat eaters. Fresh and local ingredients. Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Friendly staff. Parking lot and located off a bus line in a walkable and bike friendly neighborhood. If you liked the food truck, then you will love this.“

“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.“

“I go to Minneapolis every year for Vikings football. In October I went to Norseman for the first time. I arrived just as they were opening, about 12 noon. Had a great time and loved the whiskey. I ordered a sampling of four drinks and had lunch. Enjoyed the service and the people. So now back in New York, I ordered Norseman whiskey online. I'll be back next year. SKOL!“

“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!“

“having my clubACB getMC patch finally the recognition we deserve“

“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.“

“Even tho, there are interesting things on the menu, I got the cheeseburger. OMG, best ever!
And the truffle fries - tasted of truffle without being way too greasy. We had a 2nd order for the table.
It's a special, soulful place, our group were all very happy“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere. 180 from upstairs Billy (which I also enjoy). The music was like my late 90s/early 00s Spotify Playlist. Server, drinks and food were all amazing. Only small knock was we ordered apps (gyoza and edamame) about 30 mins before sushi and got the apps after one roll and the same time as another. Minor comment on an otherwise great evening.“

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

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

“Great tour by Cade. Beautiful facility and even better whiskey. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Incredibly friendly staff, so gracious to our large party. Food was fresh, appetizers were hot and tasty, vegetables were crisp and delicious, and the Szechuan soup base was approachable spicy- they didn't hold back on the numbing spice, thankfully. A wonderful place to go for a hotpot meal with a staff that clearly cares about serving top-quality meals.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Minneapolis Cider Co is easily one of the best spots in the city for great drinks and an even better atmosphere. Their ciders are consistently flavorful—bright, crisp, and creative without being overly sweet. There’s always something new on tap, and the staff is happy to help you find a cider that fits your taste.

The taproom itself is spacious, inviting, and perfect for everything from a casual night out to meeting up with friends. Between the pickleball courts, events, and rotating food options, there’s always something going on, and the vibe is upbeat without feeling chaotic.

Service has always been friendly and quick, and the whole experience feels really well-run. Whether you’re a cider fan or just looking for a fun place to hang out, Minneapolis Cider Co is absolutely worth a 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!“

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

“Great staff. Plenty of menu selections with weekly specials. We've become regulars. Going back tonight.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Amazing food, good service, lovely patio“

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

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

“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!“

“New menu coming in March!“

“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!“

“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.“
