The Monte Carlo Bar & Café is one of the oldest establishments in Minneapolis’s warehouse district, and it wears its vintage status with pride. The bar is old-school copper-and-brass, the back wall is nothing but liquor bottles stacked to the ceiling, and photos of famous people and local celebs who have dined and drunk there are everywhere. A favorite of the after-work business set, the atmosphere in the bar tends to be one of civilized fun. Just about anyone can hoist a few here in comfort and class, and the bartenders are especially well known for their martinis, of which they have an impressive variety.
