Young Joni

The Best Speakeasies and Hidden Bars in Minneapolis and St. Paul | Eater Twin Cities

"This adults-only hidden bar behind Young Joni is just as popular as the award-winning restaurant it’s attached to. Sneak down the alley and look for the red neon light, which indicates if the bar is open (a limited number of customers are allowed at one time inside). This intimate room, cloaked in dark florals and velvet, feels like your chic grandma’s basement setup. (That is, if your grandma had a 1970s-era reel-to-reel playing in the background.) Grab one of the rotating-themed cocktails — they recently riffed on baseball — or stop by for Social Hour from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Seating is first-come, first-serve." - Natalia Mendez
