One of the most unique bars in downtown Minneapolis. Located on the 27th floor of the Foshay. Excellent and strong signature drinks
Nathan WrightSeptember 25, 2015Nice atmosphere and great views from the top floor of the Foshay. Not sure if this bar is a well-kept secret because it is rarely packed. They make a good martini.
TJ KJuly 3, 201527th floor of the W is where you will find the laid back cocktail bar. Elegant and dimly lit fun. Delicious cocktails. I only wish the music was better.
Cole KennedySeptember 28, 2015Love the vibe up here. Sure, it might not actually be a secret speakeasy, but it certainly feels that way. Plus, the lounge chairs and dark light are very sexy.
Nelson V. GuevaraNovember 20, 2018Try any cocktail in this trendy place in downtown Minneapolis. You won’t waste your time. Great place!
- Nelson V. GuevaraNovember 20, 2018Great location overview of the city, great decor and great cocktails. For sure coming back here.
City PagesDecember 7, 2012Voted "Best Make-Out Spot" by City Pages in 2012! This sexy bar serves specialty martinis and not-so-standard bar snacks. Enjoy one with your sweetie on the velvet covered couch in the Moon Room ;)
Gordon WrightJune 9, 2015Good location at the top of the Foshay Tower. Crowd is a mix... Some nights it's cool, other nights it's all tourists from Iowa and Wisconsin.
I LOVE the vibe here with the lighting and comfortable relaxed seating. The bathrooms are unique as well.
Cheyenne BrooksAugust 31, 2018Amazing atmosphere. I'd be here all the time if I lived in the state! Get the absinthe marg!- City PagesFebruary 24, 2011Voted as having the Best Cocktails by City Pages 2010 Best of the Twin Cities, Prohibition serves cocktails as they should be: well balanced, innovative, and tasty.
Rachel MercerAugust 21, 2012You can order from the full menu of the steakhouse downstairs (Manny's) - the ambiance and the view up here is better, and quieter.
Vinayak MJanuary 13, 2014Sammy the bartender is hilarious! and an awesome person. Go for happy hour 5-7pm.. then don't leave.- Arielle LenoxMay 23, 2018Fun specialty cocktails on the 27th floor with a fantastic view of the city!
Trevor NelsonMay 4, 2013Choose your seating carefully if you have a weak core - you'll be slumped back if you grab a chaise. Just sayin'.
Andy NobleNovember 6, 2011Great hidden secret in Mpls om 27TH floor...my kind of place! Try an Old Cuban
rhys parryJune 17, 2014The Vieux Carre tastes like cough syrup, and I mean that in the good way *cough*
Kristina BurrisDecember 31, 2012Very cool place. Would be better if they had more food items on the menu
Chris ENovember 6, 2014A little underwhelmed by "A Sip in Thyme" -- very unbalanced, might as well be drinking straight gin. Maybe just an anomaly, but I only have time for one drink...
Paul NovareseJune 22, 2018Too crowded, not enough seating at the actual bar. The seating options are mostly aimed at large groups.
Monica BongartJuly 28, 2010Fun! Great venue for small group. Can be difficult to mingle with larger groups
Natalie SmolichDecember 28, 2012The wait here is unbelievably long. Been waiting for our drinks over 30 minutes now.
If you want a quality hand crafted cocktail that you'll love, ask for Tony.
If it's a quiet night, don't be afraid to put it against the glass.

"One of the very best breakfast cafes in the Twin Cities!"

"Try the "Behind the Green Door" cocktail. It bubbles like a geyser and tastes light and fruity. The bubbling is caused by a pellet of dry ice. It's not on the menu but still available to order."
