Best Happy Hours in Minneapolis

200+ bars and restaurants with happy hour deals across Minneapolis, MN.

Minneapolis runs 200+ happy hour bars across the North Loop, Uptown, Northeast, Lyn-Lake, and Eat Street — a scene shaped equally by long winters (driving an indoor cocktail-and-craft-beer culture) and aggressive summer patio seasons. The North Loop leans upscale with hotel-grade craft cocktail programs; Northeast Minneapolis is the brewery district, with Surly, Indeed, and Bauhaus running $4-5 happy hour pours of taproom-fresh beer; Uptown and Lyn-Lake keep neighborhood-bar pricing alive with $4-6 wells; Eat Street has the most diverse food-and-drink combos. Minnesota allows happy hour drink specials but caps on-sale liquor sales at 2 AM. Sunday brunch happy hours starting at 10 AM are widespread, and patio happy hours from May through September are a cultural fixture.
