- The Monte Carlo wings (Beijing Style) are the bomb dot com. Hot and crispy with a salty, sweet, and spicy dry rub on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Get a basket to share. No regrets.
ShawnSeptember 28, 2015You know what they say, "atmosphere! atmosphere! atmosphere!" The Monte Carlo has plenty of that amazingness. Make sure to get a classic cocktail while you sit at the bar to complete the experience.
Cole KennedyOctober 11, 2015The Roasted Sirloin Au Jus is a wonderful pile of meat atop an island of pumpernickel bread, all floating in a sea of savory gravy.
City PagesAugust 21, 2014Sandwiches, a ruling Caesar salad, and a laid-back Sunday brunch make Monte Carlo a convivial place to be. Read more
- One of the best patios in the city. The martinis here are perfect and classically done. Not to mention the generally endless liquor selection. They don't have ginger beer though.
- City PagesDecember 12, 2012Voted top 10 Martinis! Now that you're all grown up and graduated from Scooby Snacks and Colorado Bulldogs, the bartenders at the Monte Carlo are ready to pour you what you've been missing.
- City PagesJanuary 25, 2013Voted top ten chicken wings! Each bit of the wing brings a different spice flavor. Not entirely savory, not exactly sweet, it's an entirely unidentifiable, familiar flavor.
Chicken wings, seafood pasta and classic cocktails. Also, the bartenders are great- knowledgeable and amiable.
Good vibe, strong drinks and throw back bartenders. In the summer the patio is the spot.

Jocelyn WilliamsAugust 1, 2013Loved dinner on the patio. Nice atmosphere. Cocktails are $12 but you get two drinks worth.
Clyde NJJune 21, 2017Food is delicious, cozy atmosphere (upscale without being pretentious), friendly staff
Great drinks and the wings app is very tasty. Great service from Kristine and others!
Drew G.August 20, 2011The reviews are true; the Monte Carlo wings are that good. Enjoy the patio before a Twin's game. It's an easy walk to Target Field.
If you want a sandwich, you can't go wrong with a burger -one of the best downtown- or the Cajun chicken sandwich.
The godfather of Minneapolis bars ... life would be worse without it! My favorite for years!
T DeraDecember 10, 2010Order the wings. They're so much better than "bar wings". Savory spices crispy yummy addictive not mindless red spicy sauce
5-spice wings, Szechuan green beens, roast sirloin au jus! If Tim is bartending ask for the Annie/Manny martini :)
Beth KaufmanDecember 3, 2009Enjoy a drink at this modern bar in an old school restaurant. An unexpected place to see and be seen. You will feel like a movie star lounging with a dirty martini...
Nothing beats the Monte. Allison & TIM are the best. Free valet parking. But always tip!!
Brennan StoutMay 7, 2013Cocktails are served in a pint glass with a cocktail glass. One drink is basically a double.
Try the chicken wing basket. It's not on the menu but it makes for a complete meal. Best wings ever!!
Stephen KoontzAugust 24, 2014Represents an era you can attempt to relive for a classic drink or four
Make sure you ask for Eric! And get the wings, they are freakn amazing!!
Mechelle BrownFebruary 2, 2014We had a party of twenty two and had to split our own bill of almost 1k. To say the least we will not be returning here for any event.
When the weather is nice, this is one of the best patios in town.
One of the few places (unfortunately!) to get liver and onions!- One of the few places (Unfortunately!) to get liver and onions!
Nolan VaughanMay 22, 2014Shortly after killing his first victim. Andrew Cunanan stopped in for a lite dinner.
Wings are the best! Dry rubbed with a million seasonings of sweet & savory.
Nicole NottinghamMarch 27, 2011Ask for seating in the mainroom. Call ahead for reservations in a booth.
Make sure to ask for Eric; he's the funnest bartender!
John LeschNovember 28, 2010The meat is WELL DONE. If you like it medium, order medium or even medium rare!
