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

"Though Luna and the Bear has been open since July of 2023, its sibling bar relaunched as a gin bar called Moonwater at the tail end of 2024. While Moonwater has the mix-and-match gin and jam pairings that initially popularized its parent restaurant, the bar has an expanded menu with 50 gins and cocktails. Try a Negroni flight, sip gins from around the globe, and don’t skip the monthly rotating special cocktail crafted for each full moon." - Natalia Mendez

My partner and I were here tonight and were super excited to be there (our first time) so the experience we had really disappointed us. We were sat at the bar. My partner stated that he was feeling adventurous, wanted something spirit forward, and ordered a drink (The Moonwater) per the bartender’s recommendation. He not care for the drink at all as he wanted something more spirit forward and the drink was not (I tasted it too). He politely sent the drink back and the bartender (while still making him a new drink) proceeded to say twice (in an unkind, sarcastic way to the point where I almost confronted them) “not so adventurous after all are we?” My partner ordered the first drink in good faith, so I thought this was rude and uncalled for. His second drink and my first drink were fantastic, so the drinks are very good but the service left something to be desired and this was really disheartening.

All your gin cocktail dreams have come true. Pip Hanson cocktail menu. 50 gins. You can change out the selected gin in any cocktail for any of those other gins. Nearly 1000 cocktails. 🫠 Stellar.

This is the best Gin bar in Minneapolis. There are about 50 gins on the menu with a great house cocktail menu.

Great cocktail and gin selection in a nice environment. Bartenders are great! New cocktails coming out each time I have been here to try!

Finally, a place respecting the art of a delicious gin beverage! Offering a mesmerizing selection of gins and a creative delivery of flavors and botanicals, Moonwater respects the art of making a great, craft cocktail. I even enjoyed the little touches on the gin menu that showed what glassware the drink would be served in! A great gin menu, friendly staff, and access to Luna and the Bear's food menu make Moonwater the place for an enjoyable night out!

Such a quaint space! Attached to a fabulously cozy and delightfully aesthetic, existing restaurant, Luna and the Bear, this new addition is a joy to anyone who fancies craft bevvies and classy libations within a mostly foodies world. Showcasing a gin library of impressive caliber and curated cocktails from a highly talented, innovative Minneapolis bartender- you are in for a treat. Come lounge and sip on any of their mouthwatering offerings, and enjoy a richly comfortable atmosphere and find yourself over the moon with flavor and ease.

Great atmosphere and amazing service. The bartender, Drea, really knew her gin and made the experience top knotch. I will definitely be going again!

While the food and drinks were delicious, they deceptively charge extra for ice without noting it anywhere. The menu shows a gin for $10 but then on the bill it was $20. Our server told us there is a charge for ice as well as a “lounge” charge. Will probably not be back because of this as it’s an illegal tactic to squeeze more money out of people.

We were in the area and decided to stop by for a cocktail. This hidden bar is located inside Luna and the Bear. There's a black curtain that's across from the bathroom, however when I was there the curtains were already pulled to the side. Nice room, they serve food from Luna and the bear. It is a gin bar, all the cocktails have gin. Big cocktail menu with many options, my server has alot of knowledge about the cocktails and gave us recommendations. The drinks are strong too.
