Jess & Kellen's Food & Libations Recommendations

For those coming to visit for a few days and are not familiar with Minneapolis, here are some recommendations of places to try while you're here. They may not be for everyone-- these are just some of our personal favorites. There are plenty of other amazing options in the twin cities that aren't included on this list!


Places to eat

Stanley’s Northeast Bar Room

VERY dog friendly and a short walk from our house so we frequent this place a lot (with Rocco of course).
