With its gleaming skyscrapers set amid glittering lakes, Minneapolis makes for an attractive and fun getaway. A truly year-round destination, the city offers activities for every season. In winter, one can explore the downtown area through more than seven miles of glass-enclosed skyways. In addition to keeping you warm, they create a lively thoroughfare filled with specialty shops, restaurants and services. Whether you want to escape the winter cold or the summer warmth, the Mall of America offers shopping, dining and entertainment options for any time of the year and every member of the family. Art lovers have plenty to see at the Minneapolis Art Institute, Walker Art Center and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, which all house world-renowned collections. The theater scene is thriving. With more than thirty theaters, Minneapolis has more seats per capita than any U.S. city except New York. See a Broadway show and enjoy dinner and live jazz at a fabulous restaurant. With kids in tow, check out the Science Museum of Minnesota, where visitors can produce their own video, or come face to face with a shark at the UnderWater Adventures Aquarium. In summer, the action moves outside. Known as "The City of Lakes," Minneapolis has 22 lakes located within city limits and many more in the surrounding area. In town, hordes of locals and tourists in-line skate or stroll around Lake Calhoun, stopping for ice cream along the way. Just outside of town, Fort Snelling State Park offers outdoor recreational activities from hiking to biking and golf to boating. No matter when you visit, Minneapolis offers lots for everyone to enjoy.

Our mission is to provide a fun, safe, environmentally-friendly way for groups of adults to get some light exercise and fresh air while touring interesting parts of the Twin Cities. We rent the entire bike as well as single seats.

Hilarious, thought-provoking original comedy, improv and satire for over 50 years! Brave New Workshop also has a unique and versatile event space with custom entertainment options.
My wife and I met two other couples last night to see "Angels we have heard are high," a hysterical holiday-themed show not for the faint of heart (some language and themes that some might find offensive or crude, but we laughed our heads off). It was comprised of multiple short skits performed by four talented actors - with the two women being truly amazing! The short skit format was good because it kept things fresh and moving along. Intimate little setting with the small stage right up close - no bad seats. There is also a small bar on-site where you can get beer, wine, and other beverages - convenient while waiting for doors to open or during intermission. The time flew by, and I found myself craving more at the end. We will definitely be back to see what other productions they put on. Definitely for mature audiences only.

My guilty pleasure. I love this place. Bartenders have an attitude and are somewhat surly, but that’s okay with me. This place is really slamming on a weekend night and a great place to spend an entire day on a February shitcold day. The Reubens are amazing. Really good bar food. Not sure about salads or anything healthy in any way. Hands down my favorite bar in Uptown.

The Loop is a fun, casual restaurant/bar located in the North Loop of Minneapolis. We serve lunch and dinner. We have a great Happy Hour and on Friday and Saturday nights we have a DJ and dancing starting at 10:00pm. Come get in The Loop and see why we have been a local favorite since 2006.
Very enjoyable pre Twins game lunch. Restaurant is following good Covid protocols, so felt safe. Santa Fe Salad was wonderful, tasty chicken, corn relish, avocado. Juicy Loopy burger and French Dip also very good. Seasoned fries were very thin and crisp.Our server was very good and made sure we had every thing we needed. Comfortable warehouse chic decor. We will definitely be back.

Live entertainment with dueling pianos for a sing-a-long, comedy, and fun. It's Life at the Top of Your Lungs!
