"MINNEAPOLIS Young Joni is one of our favorite places in Minneapolis for blistered pizzas and Thai sausage skewers. But look for the red light in the alleyway right outside to find BackBar, a warm and cozy speakeasy where you can order pickle pizzas (a so-weird-it’s-good version of the Minnesota State Fair specialty) and fun cocktails. We like the Sazerac with chicory and coffee, but there are also well-balanced non-alcoholic mocktails." - anne cruz
