Patio Happy Hours in Minneapolis
16 bars and restaurants with outdoor patios and happy hour specials in Minneapolis, MN.
Updated
In Minneapolis, patio season is practically a citywide holiday—the first genuinely warm Friday empties offices onto every available outdoor seat. The range is enormous, from North Loop rooftops and warehouse-district sidewalk tables to lakeside patios near Uptown and the relaxed beer-garden lots of Northeast, and each pocket of the city offers a different flavor of outdoor drinking.
Because demand so far outstrips supply during the short season, strategy helps. Lakeside patios near Uptown and Bde Maka Ska fill fastest on warm evenings; North Loop and downtown rooftops draw the after-work crowd and the pre-game overflow when the Twins are home or there's a show at the stadium. Transit is the smart play for patio-hopping downtown, since parking tightens near the ballpark and arena. Many venues carry the same happy hour deals to their outdoor seats.
Browse the list below to find Minneapolis patio happy hours across every neighborhood. When the weather cooperates in this city, the outdoor seat is always worth the wait.
