Staying downtown weekend of 20, what do I do?

Plan on hitting the art MIA, what else can I do? Is there a good lounge in the evening that is not crazy loud?



Staying downtown weekend of 20, what do I do?


I%26#39;d check out the Mississippi riverfront - Stone Arch Bridge, Nicollet Island, St. Anthony Main, the locks, the new Guthrie %26amp; observation ledge.





For lounges, maybe the top floor of Chambers Hotel, and rooftop outdoor bar at the top of rNormans/Seven, and maybe top of Foshay W hotel.





Here%26#39;s a site page for travel to Minneapolis / St.Paul

Staying downtown weekend of 20, what do I do?


Maybe Brit%26#39;s Pub or Kieren%26#39;s Pub - also a few in the warehouse district or across the river in St. Anthony Main area, that aren%26#39;t too loud and crazy.




Solera is a nice tapas bar in Mpls with a rooftop bar. Walk along Hennipen Ave at night and check out the night life. You can tell which places are loud from the outside. The Bulldog has a huge selection of good tap beers and great kobi beef burgers. I also like Bootleggers Bar in the Warehouse District.





During the day check out areas by the Miss Riv in Mpls. Stillwater is great river town. Summit Ave in Saint Paul is lined with historic victorian homes and you can check out Grand Ave one block south for restaurants and bars. Check out www.citypages.com for what is going on the weekend you are here.




If you%26#39;re into the arts, then I%26#39;d also second the Guthrie Theater - enjoy the overlook and the architecture. Then there%26#39;s the Walker for the exhibits, sculpture garden %26amp; restaurant/view. It%26#39;s across from Loring Park which is basically a nice stroll with some fabulous restaurants - Nick %26amp; Eddies, Joe%26#39;s Garage (rooftop) %26amp; Cafe/Bar Lurcat.





If there%26#39;s a gallery crawl that weekend, don%26#39;t miss it.





Nicollet Mall has great patios for people watching.





And be sure to try and catch some local music - Kierans Irish Pub and 331 Club appear to have some fun shows that weekend.





And pick up that week%26#39;s City Pages magazine, at most restaurants/bars.




Thanks to all of you!
