Inventive cocktails, hot dogs, and dive bar vibes with retro decor
"A bar that stocks naloxone kits and fentanyl test strips, promoting harm reduction as part of its hospitality approach." - Justine Jones
"A Minneapolis cocktail bar whose beverage director, Robb Jones, is slated to overhaul first- and second-floor bars at the North Loop food-hall project; Jones’s involvement signals a focus on crafted cocktails and a reimagined bar program across multiple levels of the hall." - Justine Jones
"This well-loved Minneapolis bar slings inventive cocktails, as well as low-ABV and non-alcoholic drinks, but also deals in some seriously good hot dogs — with a fusion twist. Try the Meteor dog with tangy kimchi mayo and crispy onions; the classic Frank dog with relish, mustard, and sauerkraut; and the Musubio dog with hoisin mayo, pineapple, and togarashi green onions. Its brick walls, Art Deco-style black-and-white floors, and frequent entertainment lineup make it a must-stop in the Cities." - Nina Raemont
"A long-time dream by local industry vets Robb Jones and Elliot Manthey, Meteor Bar almost didn’t come into fruition because of the pandemic — but it rose again, and three years later is standing strong. Unassuming and comfortable, it’s a popular industry hangout. The drinks are imaginative and complex, changing week to week with the bartenders’ latest obsessions: Recent inventions include a Granny Smith Manhattan and creamy nutmeg, vodka, and oat milk cocktail. Keep an eye on Instagram for fun weekly events." - Eater Staff
"We also tracked the rise and fall and rise again of Meteor Bar, a new dive bar from the superstar talent that was expected to dominate the year, instead they just found new and creative ways to hold on." - Joy Summers
