Minneapolis: Downtown Central
See All Lists
1. Andrea Pizza
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 630-2882
This is by far my favorite pizza by the slice place in the Downtown Skyways. The slices are really big and are the closest thing to New York or East Coast style pizza I've yet had in the Twin Cities. I actually had a very similiar slice of pizza on…More »
2. Arby's Restaurants
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 339-6848
Category:
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
I'm more of a fan of the dining atmosphere than the food. This is an incredibly large space that feels more fancy than your typical fast food joint. It's very centrally located too, you definetely feel like your're in the big city here as it is right…More »
3. Bayou Cajun Cuisine
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 332-2308
Categories:
Cajun/Creole,
Korean
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
For about 5 years I've came here and ordered their spicy bourbon chicken and jambaylaya rice combo and it is extremely good. The only problem I've ever ran into in the entire time I've went here is on occasion the rice can be a little to hard or a…More »
4. The Brothers Deli
Best Pastrami I've had in Minneapolis, I usually get the Pepe Sandwich, it is so good. The marble rye with thier house made Pastrami and melted pepperjack go so well together.
Nice dining atmosphere too, unless you have to settle for a table with a…More »
5. Candyland
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 332-3220
Category:
Candy Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
This place has got thee best caramel apples anywhere, everything I've had from here has been very good but these are what make Candyland a destination for me. They make their candy fresh and if you happen to be here during the day you can smell the…More »
6. The Cowles Center
Minneapolis, MN 55403
(612) 206-3636
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Hope they have concerts here too because the acoustics are excellent. I was here briefly for the grand opening, open house on Sunday. Wish I coulda stayed longer but by the time I had found out about it I already had other commitments.
This is a…More »
7. Foshay Tower Observation Deck & Museum
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 215-3783
Category:
Museums
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
I think every resident of the Twin Cities, and especially visitors should go up to the observation deck of the Foshay Tower. I've been up in alot of skyscrapers and monuments all across the country and this, while on a smaller scale has a similiar…More »
8. Gluek's Restaurant
Minneapolis, MN 55403

Categories:
Bars,
Music Venues,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Well I've been here 5 times since my last review and am still extremely satisfied with the food, atmosphere and service at Gluek's! Not sure why some reviews call the food here "typical bar food" I cannot think of any bar that serves as good of pot…More »

9. Greek Grill
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 305-9163
Categories:
Greek,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
This was such a nice retreat from what had to be one of the hottest days of the year. Seemed like air conditioning wasn't invented yet in most places including where I work. I was in major need of a cooling off, and while I was hungry my stomach was…More »
10. Minneapolis Central Library
Minneapolis, MN 55401
(612) 630-6000
Category:
Libraries
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Coolest library I've ever been in, this review is a long overdue one for me. I've never reviewed it since it's such a great place that I wanted to make sure I didn't leave anything out. Since I discover a new study spot or an amazing selection of…More »
11. IDS Center
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 376-8000
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
The five stars is for the Crystal Court, which is on the ground floor of the building. I like the tower of the IDS Center only because its a landmark and our skyline would look weird without it. However if you like all - glass skyscrapers this is one…More »
12. Ike's Food & Cocktails
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 746-4537
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Bars,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
I was attracted to this place because I heard they serve some food from Charlie's Cafe Exceptional, the famous Downtown Minneapolis high end dining place of yesteryear, that most all longtime Twin Cities residents are sentimental about. As a history…More »
13. Macy's
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 375-2200
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
I was inspried to write this review because of a couple weird negative reviews made today by 2 different 1 review Yelpers, both which didn't even make any sense. I'm here to say I'm a fan, not so much of Macy's as a store but the Holiday displays at…More »
14. Minneapolis Skyway System
The Minneapolis Skyways are in alot of ways a gigantic mall, but a much more interesting one. Personally I don't mind our cold temperatures in Minnesota most of the time. I can't stand extreme heat and humidity however and that's the way the Twin…More »
15. Murray's Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 339-0909
Categories:
Steakhouses,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Murray's has 2 things I love, great steak and old tyme grandeur, both are extremely hard to find anymore. It's a bit pricey, but good steak usually is no matter where you go, and for the quality of the meat Murray's is definetely not overpriced. If…More »
16. Nicollet Mall
If you're in Downtown Minneapolis you'll probably end up somewhere on Nicollet Mall whether you make it a destination or not, because it is in the center of it all. It's a 12 block outdoor Mall that has large patio sized sidewalks, and a narrow road…More »
17. Orpheum Theatre
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 339-7007
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
The Orpheum is my favorite auditorium space to watch concerts in the Twin Cities. As much as I love the style and location of the State Theater, I think for these kind of performances the accoustics there are awful compared to the Orpheum. I've seen…More »
18. Peter's Grill
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 333-1981
Category:
Diners
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Peters is my favorite place to eat breakfast Downtown. Its good food served in an elegant Art Deco era interior, and yet it is priced more like a Perkins. The French Toast is excellent, as are the hashbrowns. I also like thier apple pie, tastes great…More »
19. Pizza Lucé
Minneapolis, MN 55401
(612) 333-7359
Categories:
Pizza,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Pizza Luce is definetely one of the best places for pizza in Downtown Minneapolis. I don't think it's thee best, but they do make good food. It's sauce has a very distictive taste to it and contains what I believe is some kind of stewed tomato, the…More »
20. Shanghai Wok
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 333-7798
Category:
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
I'm updating my review because of a recent negative one. I do believe Phil simply didn't order the right thing. I too haven't been too impressed by thier Sesame Chicken, however it had been such a long time since I'd had it that at the time of my…More »

21. Target
Minneapolis, MN 55403
(612) 338-0085
Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
As a person who lives and works Downtown, and doesn't drive this store is a blessing, without it this car free lifestyle wouldn't be as practical. It's currently the only large grocer Downtown, and you can get pretty much everything else you'll ever…More »
22. Target Center
Minneapolis, MN 55403
(612) 673-1300
Category:
Stadiums & Arenas
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
I really wish I could give Target Center more than 3 stars but I can't because the sightlines and sound in it suck. I'd go easier on it if it was a stadium because those venues are alot larger, but an arena shouldn't be as bad as this. Oh, and forget…More »
23. Target Field
I think we've got the most unique, and stylish ballpark in the Country. The experience is worth it even if the Twins lose. I've been to many stadiums and this is right up with Fenway, Wrigley, and Yankee as my favorites. I don't think I've seen a…More »
24. Trieste Café
Minneapolis, MN 55402
(612) 333-4658
Categories:
Delis,
Mediterranean,
Greek
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
I was walking by the Lumber Exchange yesterday and the smell of Greek food cooking sort of drew me in, it has a tendency to do that. I wasn't even considering Greek as it's usually something that I crave more in the Summer than the Fall.
That's one…More »

Category:
Hot Dogs
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
One of the pleasures of eating lunch Downtown is discovering neat little places like the Walkin Dog. I got 2 ballpark style hot dogs and a caramel shake. The hot dogs tasted good, nothing extraordinary but the shake was fantastic, better than a DQ…More »
