Description

Eli"s is the primo neighborhood bar for downtown Minneapolis dwellers, the kind of place suitable for beer with a buddy or an intimate date. Housed in an old brick apartment building, the restaurant has a been-here-forever vibe. Nicely lit by wall sconces with walls painted ochre, vintage black-and-white portraits on the walls, and rich wood everywhere, the room has a chic urban feel. And the menu is divine, comfort food with a contemporary twist, with daily pasta specials and all entrées priced under $20. Try the black-and-blue burger made with smoked paprika, caramelized onions, and blue cheese. Bonus: The kitchen stays open till 1 a.m.--perfect for after a movie or show. Seasonal sidewalk seating.

    The Twin Cities' best places to renounce those foolish New Year's vows

    By Bridgette Reinsmoen | Wed, January 07, 2009

    Let's face it: The party's over and the hangover has begun. In these dire times, as incomes become less stable while gloomy, frigid days continue to brutalize us post-holidays, it's important not to be too hard on ourselves. In a festive New... More »

  • 2000 | BEST NEIGHBORHOOD BAR--MINNEAPOLIS

    There's a sign hanging behind the bar at Eli's that pretty much sums it up: "Where the regular people feel special and the special people feel regular." Damn straight. Even though Eli's sits at the southwestern edge of downtown, not far from Loring Park, there's a decidedly comfortable, neighborhood feel to the place. There's a just-rightness to the size of the bar: intimate, but not cramped. Stop in more than a few times, and pretty soon they'll know your name. Eli's walks a fine line... More »
