This is the tale of the pizza place that is so much more than a simple pie shop, although Young Joni's pizza is really good. The menu also includes small plates like a house-made Thai sausage lettuce wraps, Japanese sweet potatoes topped with undulating bonito and a fiery, snappy kimichi, this is exactly how we love to eat right now. Plus, there's a back-bar, speakeasy with some of the best cocktails in the city.

For over a quarter of a century Brit's Pub has been Minneapolis's own little corner of the UK. The pub is known for nights by the fireplace in the winter and lawn bowling on the rooftop deck in the summer - with a whole lot in between including legendary TV football (soccer!) and rugby events. We are also proud to have a unique range of Private Event spaces, many with their own bar and fireplace.

Although named for the boats used to catch lobster, Smack Shack the restaurant was launched in 2010 from four wheels – a food truck serving lobster rolls from a land-locked downtown Minneapolis parking lot. Owner Josh Thoma had a great recipe and a belief that appetite for fresh lobster in the Twin Cities was as strong as any coastal city.
