"Bar Brava’s natural wine offerings infused the Minneapolis wine scene with a bit of delightful funk when it opened in 2019. With a dedication to organically farmed, unfiltered, wild-yeasted, and unfined wine, this space the Cities’ only dedicated natural wine bar. Pours range from Santa Barbara Chenin blancs to French pet-nats — they’re paired with modern Vietnamese bites from resident Khue’s Kitchen. Keep an eye out for weekend pop-ups on Instagram." - Eater Staff
"Bar Brava’s natural wine list infuses the Minneapolis wine scene with a bit of delightful funk. With a dedication to organically farmed, unfiltered, wild-yeasted, and unfined wine, this space is truly one-of-a-kind. Modern finishes like subway tile and Edison bulbs round out the Brava aesthetic, and small plates like pan con tomate and orange wine roast pork make for excellent pairings." - Justine Jones, Katy Spratte Joyce
