A small downtown gem, Eli’s Food and Cocktails delivers excellent food and local craft beers in a cozy, friendly environment. The downtown bistro offers far more than the familiar bar food, including original weekly specials. This is a great spot for dinner before a show at the Orpheum, or First Avenue and a quick walk from Target Field and Target Center. If you’re in the mood for comfort food, the Mac n Cheese is a skillet full of cheesy, melty bliss - being rated in the top 10 best in Minneapolis. Eli’s also offers a full bar with a decent wine selection. If you haven’t checked them out, it’s worth the stop during your next trip downtown.
