Bar Brava

The Best Bars in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota | Eater Twin Cities

"Bar Brava’s natural wine offerings infused the Minneapolis scene with a bit of delightful funk when it opened in 2019. With a dedication to organically farmed, unfiltered, and wild-yeasted wines, this space is the Cities’ only dedicated natural wine bar — and made enough of an impression to garner a 2024 James Beard nod and a nomination in 2025. Pours range from Santa Barbara chenin blancs to French pet-nats. Wines are paired with a rotating cast of long-term guest chef residencies in the kitchen. Currently, that means modern American Chinese fare from chefs Mike Yuen and Tony Gao. Keep an eye out for weekend pop-ups on Instagram. Reservations available via Resy." - Natalia Mendez
