Drinks & Nightlife

This is really a distillery and they have now tapped the whiskey kegs. They have a Happy Hour but it only goes from 4-6. Drinks are good and very strong using their own gin, vodka or whiskey. I believe they have a coffee liquor too.

A must see in Minneapolis, just the regular exhibits are spectacular enough, but often they have special exhibits. For example, in springtime; the Art in Bloom exhibit which features floral arrangements which are meant to look like the corresponding art pieces. You can check their website for current information.
