The World’s Best Bars 2009-2022

October 4, 2022October 4, 2022 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

Today was the official announcement of 2022's World's 50 Best Bars - congratulations to Paradiso in Barcelona for being named the World's Best Bar! Best of lists are often imperfect, but they are also interesting – especially if you dig into how they are crafted. One of the lists I’ve been following for a while … Continue reading The World’s Best Bars 2009-2022

About a week ago, the Instagram account for Healthy Pour posted an amazing series that should be required reading for everyone who is in or enjoys the hospitality industry. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Healthy Pour (@healthy.pour) My first reaction was joy. Here was the message I've been trying to share … Continue reading The Message that Matters

Tales of the FOMO

July 27, 2022 ~ Kate ~ 1 Comment

Or as they call it in New Orleans, FeauxMeaux. Most people hope to see a second line when they visit New Orleans, unfortunately, I saw one before leaving for the airport. I'm not going to lie - there was a tiny part of me that tried to rationalize the idea of going anyway. "Most people … Continue reading Tales of the FOMO

Since this seems to be our summer of "DO ALL THE THINGS," we are headed south to experience a full week of Tales of the Cocktail. Here's how the schedule is shaping up so … Continue reading Tales of the Cocktail 2022

One pandemic “later” . . .

May 26, 2022 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

It's cute that I thought 2020 would be the year I got back in to bar blogging. That, obviously, didn't happen. I finally got around to going day by day through my 2020 Google Maps timeline in order to see just what an impact the pandemic had on our habits. The drop would be even … Continue reading One pandemic “later” . . .

Minneapolis Behind the Booze — The Passport Program

January 29, 2020 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

I've been wanting to check out Tattersall's new Clover Club for a while so I'm really excited about this event! Don't have a Winter Passport? They're now half-off and still valid through April 15th so you have no excuse. (The discount will be applied when the passport is in your cart, the site still shows … Continue reading Minneapolis Behind the Booze — The Passport Program

2019 Bar Logging Data!

January 16, 2020 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

I recently completed a Data Visualization and Analytics bootcamp and it was really exciting to put some of the skills I learned to use – even if just to see how many bars we went to in 2019! (If you want to see the other impact bootcamp had on my life, just check out the … Continue reading 2019 Bar Logging Data!

Updates and a new project

January 15, 2020January 15, 2020 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

After neglecting this site for most of a year, thanks to my decision to complete a certificate in Data Visualization and Analytics, I'm back and trying to give things a bit of a makeover. I've added a Maps page - you'll find maps for several of our trips coded to tell you places we liked, … Continue reading Updates and a new project

It’s Summer Passport Time! 134 drinks for $10!??!?

May 22, 2019 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

Hey, remember a few months ago when I posted about the Winter Passport cocktail program and how it was a really great deal - and a stupidly great deal with a promo code? GUESS WHAT IT'S SUMMER PASSPORT TIME!   It's bigger, it's better, it contains an ad for the USBGMSP, and there's a pick-up … Continue reading It’s Summer Passport Time! 134 drinks for $10!??!?

Booze for History Buffs

February 1, 2019 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

A couple of years ago, Summit Brewing and the Minneapolis Institute of Art teamed up and made a Tudor Ale for a special event at the museum. I was lucky enough to make it to the Summit taproom while they still had some and it was delicious and fascinating! I remember thinking it was a … Continue reading Booze for History Buffs

Come to @meteor_mpls tonight until 8pm for delicious @bodegaslustau cocktails to benefit @sts_wellness If you want to experience the pinnacle of Northern hospitality, then you need to make time for @demi.mpls - we’ve dined at some amazing restaurants around the world but the care and kindness at Demi floors us every time we’re fortunate enough to visit. They knew we were celebrating our “Marvelopement” and surprised us with Cheetos at the end of the meal. (@marvelbar famously had pickled eggs and Cheetos as their only food options.) We had coffee on the patio today, for the first time what? November?? It will be a while until the yard is visible but at least our bistro table is good to go! Finally made it to the River Falls @tattersalldistilling location. Felt like a fitting way to finish up our morning at UWRF for admitted students day - looks like we’ll be spending a lot more time over here! Six years, so many more to come! Home sweet purrrrrrrrr. It took us three tries to get these Patatas Bravas @redwindowsf and they were worth the effort. We ordered a second plate. No better way to end a lovely SF trip than potatoes and sherry cobbler. A post @bourbonandbranchsf drink in The Library. B&B was part of how @_cmikk fell in love with cocktails and we hadn’t been back for a while. The drinks are still delicious and we confirmed that my candy version of their Frank Lloyd Wright is damn close.
