One of the most unique bars in downtown Minneapolis. Located on the 27th floor of the Foshay. Excellent and strong signature drinks

Nathan Wright

Nice atmosphere and great views from the top floor of the Foshay. Not sure if this bar is a well-kept secret because it is rarely packed. They make a good martini .

TJ K

27th floor of the W is where you will find the laid back cocktail bar . Elegant and dimly lit fun. Delicious cocktails . I only wish the music was better.

Cole Kennedy

Love the vibe up here. Sure, it might not actually be a secret speakeasy , but it certainly feels that way. Plus, the lounge chairs and dark light are very sexy.

City Pages

Voted "Best Make-Out Spot" by City Pages in 2012! This sexy bar serves specialty martinis and not-so-standard bar snacks . Enjoy one with your sweetie on the velvet covered couch in the Moon Room ;)

Great location overview of the city , great decor and great cocktails . For sure coming back here.

Gordon Wright

Good location at the top of the Foshay Tower. Crowd is a mix... Some nights it's cool, other nights it's all tourists from Iowa and Wisconsin.

Arielle Lenox

Fun specialty cocktails on the 27th floor with a fantastic view of the city !

Rachel Mercer

You can order from the full menu of the steakhouse downstairs (Manny's) - the ambiance and the view up here is better, and quieter .

Stuart

Stiff drinks, great atmosphere, some of the best views in the city .

Jessie Schlosser

Try and be as big of a raging tool bag as possible, you'll fit in!

Vivian Wang

Pretty chill bar . I got a whiskey sour and it was good

Trevor Nelson

Choose your seating carefully if you have a weak core - you'll be slumped back if you grab a chaise. Just sayin'.

Chris E

A little underwhelmed by "A Sip in Thyme " -- very unbalanced, might as well be drinking straight gin . Maybe just an anomaly, but I only have time for one drink...

Arun D'Souza

Beautiful Decor and Historically Significant!

L K

Too crowded , not enough seating at the actual bar . The seating options are mostly aimed at large groups.

Expensive drinks for Minneapolis and they’re often done wrong

If you want a quality hand crafted cocktail that you'll love, ask for Tony.
