Need a Cocktail Near The Super Bowl? Check This First.
Within the last 5 years a Cocktail Renaissance has hit the Twin Cities; Minneapolis, in particular. I've been covering the local cocktail scene since October 2013 as part of my weekly series "Mike's Mix," which airs on WCCO | CBS Minnesota. It's the only weekly TV segment on craft cocktails in the United States.
While the craft cocktail scene here is still young compared to cities like New York, New Orleans, Denver, and Seattle, we definitely punch above our weight. I've traveled the country sampling and comparing, and I can tell you that you're in good hands here.
Almost all of the cocktail bars in Minneapolis are closing to the public, temporarily, for private parties at some point this week. Check the list below to see if your favorite place will be closed, and when. Call ahead if you have any questions!
And, watch Mike's Mix Saturday mornings around 8:45a on WCCO!
