The Monte Carlo wings (Beijing Style) are the bomb dot com. Hot and crispy with a salty, sweet, and spicy dry rub on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Get a basket to share. No regrets.
The North Loop may be so hot right now, but the Monte Carlo has been holding it down since 1906. Sit at the bar with a martini and the famous wings , or get the traditional steak .[Eater 38 Member] Read more
You know what they say, "atmosphere! atmosphere! atmosphere!" The Monte Carlo has plenty of that amazingness. Make sure to get a classic cocktail while you sit at the bar to complete the experience.
The Roasted Sirloin Au Jus is a wonderful pile of meat atop an island of pumpernickel bread , all floating in a sea of savory gravy .
Sandwiches , a ruling Caesar salad , and a laid-back Sunday brunch make Monte Carlo a convivial place to be. Read more
Voted top 10 Martinis ! Now that you're all grown up and graduated from Scooby Snacks and Colorado Bulldogs, the bartenders at the Monte Carlo are ready to pour you what you've been missing.
One of the best patios in the city . The martinis here are perfect and classically done. Not to mention the generally endless liquor selection . They don't have ginger beer though.
Voted top ten chicken wings ! Each bit of the wing brings a different spice flavor. Not entirely savory, not exactly sweet, it's an entirely unidentifiable, familiar flavor.
Chicken wings , seafood pasta and classic cocktails . Also, the bartenders are great- knowledgeable and amiable.
Good vibe, strong drinks and throw back bartenders . In the summer the patio is the spot.

Loved dinner on the patio . Nice atmosphere. Cocktails are $12 but you get two drinks worth.
Food is delicious, cozy atmosphere (upscale without being pretentious ), friendly staff
Great drinks and the wings app is very tasty. Great service from Kristine and others!
The reviews are true; the Monte Carlo wings are that good. Enjoy the patio before a Twin's game. It's an easy walk to Target Field .
If you want a sandwich , you can't go wrong with a burger -one of the best downtown- or the Cajun chicken sandwich .
Best Grasshopper ever! Heart this place!
The godfather of Minneapolis bars ... life would be worse without it! My favorite for years!
Brunch on the patio , the bloodies are still great after 20 years!
Order the wings . They're so much better than "bar wings ". Savory spices crispy yummy addictive not mindless red spicy sauce
5-spice wings , Szechuan green beens, roast sirloin au jus ! If Tim is bartending ask for the Annie/Manny martini :)
Nothing beats the Monte. Allison & TIM are the best. Free valet parking . But always tip!!
Enjoy a drink at this modern bar in an old school restaurant . An unexpected place to see and be seen. You will feel like a movie star lounging with a dirty martini ...
The patio is great for Happy Hour . The inside; not so much.
Cocktails are served in a pint glass with a cocktail glass. One drink is basically a double.
Try the chicken wing basket. It's not on the menu but it makes for a complete meal. Best wings ever!!
The chicken & calamari is phenomenal....... ???? ????
Represents an era you can attempt to relive for a classic drink or four
OMG The wings here will change your life!
The chicken wings with Worcestershire sauce .
Make sure you ask for Eric! And get the wings , they are freakn amazing!!
We had a party of twenty two and had to split our own bill of almost 1k. To say the least we will not be returning here for any event .
Liver and onions are out of this world
Enjoy an old fashioned at the oldest bar in downtown Minneapolis
When the weather is nice, this is one of the best patios in town .
Enjoy the patio views over dinner at Monte Carlo in the summer.
One of the few places (unfortunately!) to get liver and onions !

You should try the wings here, as well as the spicey beans.
The meat is WELL DONE. If you like it medium, order medium or even medium rare!
Great place. Don't get the House Salad . It's just half a bag of lettuce.
