Nightingale

"Nightingale reliably has a row of tables out on Hennepin Avenue. Swing by for oysters and cocktails." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Located on a bustling section of Lyndale Avenue in Uptown, Nightingale’s dog-friendly patio is the perfect place to enjoy the cool, clear Minnesota nights this autumn. From 11pm-1am every day, get $3.50 rail drinks and tap selections, $5 wines and select cocktails. Also on their late night menu: a number of small plate offerings, ranging from their classic cheese plate to a rotating selection of seasonal bruschetta." - Eater Staff

"For a pre- or post-show cocktail, LaBlanc has you covered, too. 'If you go to the Jungle Theater, you get a cocktail at Nightingale.'"

"Nightingale is a reliable stop for oysters, cocktails, and warm, brasserie-like dishes like smoked chicken liver pate, scallops with almond gazpacho, and hanger steaks. The atmosphere is casual and neighborhoody, but with enough sparkle for a proper weekend night out. The kitchen is open until midnight; drinks are served until close at 1 a.m." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

"Nightingale has been an Uptown Minneapolis classic since Jasha Johnston and Carrie McCabe-Johnston opened it in 2012. Casual and neighborhoody — but with enough shine that it feels like a night out — it’s a reliable stop for oysters, French fries, and cocktails. More than 10 years in, Nightingale still has a buzzy vibe, and is always packed on weekends." - Eater Staff
