Best Happy Hours in North Loop

The happy hours we send people to in North Loop, Minneapolis. Part of our full happy hours guide and the North Loop neighborhood guide.

Bar La Grassa

The North Loop happy hour by which all others get measured. Half-price bruschetta board, five-dollar wines by the glass, a bar room that fills exactly at 4pm for a reason. The soft egg and lobster bruschetta has earned a place on a thousand best-bites lists.

Spoon and Stable

Gavin Kaysen’s flagship turns into the best deal in the metro from 4 to 5:30. Dollar oysters, half-priced burger, half-priced wines and beers. Fine-dining service at bar-tab prices for ninety minutes a day.

Saffron Restaurant

Sameh Wadi’s long-running Mediterranean restaurant runs a happy hour built around the bar menu’s mezze board. Half-priced glasses of natural wine, lamb sliders, and hummus that has ruined every other hummus for you.

Char Bar

Daily happy hour at the small bar inside the Butcher & the Boar building. Four to six, every day, including weekends. Reasonable cocktails, snacks built for the program, and a room that knows exactly what it is.
