Marvel Bar

Among the first in Minneapolis’ new wave of cocktail bars, this sexy, dark, basement drinkery is nestled beneath another fine North Loop establishment, the Bachelor Farmer. The libations, tapping ingredients such as licorice root, tamari and nori, might be some of the city’s most inventive and certainly revel among the fanciest when consumed at the sleek, marble-topped bar. If you stay for a few after a Scandinavian-inspired dinner upstairs, there could be cause for dancing between the colorful and plush wingback chairs that pepper the lounge.
