Place has a super sexy vibe and low lighting. The perfect darkness level. Music the majority of the evening was a ghetto rap- should have been something cool and jazzy. A real mismatch for me but popular with the locals. Acoustics not great- not enough insulation to absorb the noise. Cocktails delicious- really great! Brandon the bartender described them perfectly. Loved the comfy bar stools. Hooks under the bar but a little too spaced out. Could use more. But glad they were there even if the one closest was in the way I started with the Tapaculo which was like a banana smoky Negroni Next was the Calluna which was like a lychee martini. Highly recommend!! read more

Flora Room is such a cute spot to come have drinks with your friends or on a date. They have a huge menu of cocktails and they are all so interesting. It was so hard to choose bc everything sounded so good. The bartenders were friendly and helpful. My friend and I sat at the bar and had several drinks before we headed out to our next spot. Was having too much fun so didnt take any photos. read more

The vibe of this place gave casual yet elegant. It was very speakeasy-esque. The food came from Porzana and was tasty. It was more little bites than full entrees. The drinks were great and the service was good! Definitely a place to hang with your friends and splurge a little! read more

This place has vibes! Swooped in with a decent size group (8) on a Saturday night so we had a bit of a wait, to be expected, but the host was super cool and got us squared away in fair time. This was my first trip and the space is small ish? Solid space for small groups, we definitely stretched the limits but they made it happen for us. The vibes are dark and moody, think, greenhouse at night with candlelights. Drinks were north loop pricing ($15-18) and all well crafted. I'd definitely recommend checking out and plan to go back. Our server was also super attentive. This place strikes like a great date night spot or chill night out with the crew. read more

This is what I like to call a happy accident lol. We were going to stop at the hewing hotel for a cocktail, but I didn't find anything to be too exciting there. Looked up the spot which was around the corner and when we got there saw there was already a little line. It's got that underground speakeasy Vibe so we were happy to wait a little bit. It took only about 10 minutes maybe at the door. Inside it's very dimly lit and kind of sexy with a lot of warm candlelight lighting. This place would've gotten a five star, but we actually got seated at our table and waited over 10 minutes for a server to come by while we watched him bust tables refill peoples water etc, even though he had seen us get seated. I always find that a little frustrating as it was definitely busy, but I think attending to guests first is important. What I will say is the menu is pretty outstanding. I love the design of it and the creativity of everything. The drinks we had were perfectly mixed and delivered in a very creative way. We ended up getting a slice of the chocolate torte and my God. It was one of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. I would be willing to fight somebody for another slice lol. Either way I would say pop in here cause it is worth the wait and price which I should note is pretty up there! read more

Located where the old Marvel Bar used to be. You'll need ID to enter, 21+. It's very dim inside so don't count on too many photo ops. Unless of course you intend to use additional lighting. That said, viewing the menu was quite the challenge, but the the server must have noticed me using my flash and brought over a little lamp which was helpful. Other than that he did seem rather standoffish, but that didn't damper things for my friend and I who enjoyed ourselves. We both got the burger which was good, but eventually began falling apart due to the sauciness. To avoid that, just cut yours in half (which I should have done). To drink I got the Tuco Tuco which was very delicious, not super strong, nor overly sweet. I would get again! She got the Old Fashioned which I typically don't like due to how strong it can be. However, theirs wasn't; it was good. It's not cheap place, and the menu isn't extensive for a full meal. However, it's cool bar to visit for a drink or two before a night out, or to take someone when you want to feel hip and swanky. It's a bit loud, so be prepared to talk loud, or if you're on a date cozy up real close. read more

The atmosphere is super cool, the cocktails feature more complex liqueurs and mixers. Our drinks were okay, I prefer a simpler cocktail so I asked for something that wasn't featured on their menu. They didn't have fruit so they substituted with a liqueur which didn't work well. Our server was attentive with filling waters and such but didn't share much menu or recommendation wise. I'd go back but definitely stick to the menu. We came after dinner so we didn't get any food but I'm sure the food is incredible since it comes from upstairs at Porzana. read more

I just love a good speakeasy! This one is one of my favorites. I loved the ambiance and great music. I sat at the bar and the service was great.

Such a cute spot underneath Porzana! I love the vibes and the music is the perfect volume - not too loud, which makes it easy to hear whomever you're talking to. The espresso martini may actually be the best I've had yet! It was delightfully sweet, but not overly sweet. Bar staff is really nice and the booths are so comfy. Seating is first come, first served so my group of 6 did have to wait a while to get a booth, but such a fun space. Will be back for sure! read more

The Flora Room was super vibey, intimate, sexy, dark, candle lit. Drinks were superb. High prices but quality, pretty drinks. Parking was pretty difficult on a Friday. We got in right at 5 but looked like there was a wait line while we were leaving a few hours later. I did street parking but ended up getting a ticket since I went past my meter time so just be aware about your meter time! Didn't get to try the food but it looked so good! Servers were very attentive. Overall great experience. read more

The flora room was a super cool spot to grab a drink with friends! The picture menu was helpful even though some of the fancy ingredients were a surprise because I didn't know what they meant. I got the pichi drink and it was really good! I stayed away from the stuff on the glass because I think it was spicy, but the drink itself was great! I loved how attentive the waitstaff was because our waters were never empty! The only downside was the extremely dark interior. It made for a cool ambiance, but nobody could see the menu that well. There were a lot of flashlights being turned on to look at the writing. Other than that it was a really cool experience! read more

Been hearing about this place for quite some time now, and I finally went! I was so glad that I did. Went on a Saturday right around 6pm, pretty early, but a really good time to come because it was not yet too packed and we got to pick if we wanted the bar or a table. We ended going with the bar. Ordered some cocktails and eventually ended up ordering the burger, burrata, and the tallow fries. MY GOSHHH. Everything was incredible. The fries were light and crispy with the perfect amount of salty flavor, served with a ketchup and a nice aioli. The burger.. yep.. I will definitely be back here for this burger. A lovely smash burger on a light, lovely, pillowy bun with the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side so you could add as much (or as little) as you liked. Amazing and incredible. 10 outta 10. The burrata was good.. not my favorite way to eat it.. the bread it was served on was a little too crispy and just didn't serve the burrata in the best way, but nonetheless.. not bad at all. This is underneath Porzana.. so you need to go the back of the building and down some stairs and through the sage green door. The service was lovely, our bartender / waitress was so sweet and helpful. The ambiance in here is a 10 outta 10 and I really really enjoyed it. Will be back. read more

We came here after dinner at Porzana. I ho-hum groan at the speakeasy concept. At least this place isn't in the back of a bodega, with a secret buzzer and requires a reservation code, given only by a secret email address, etc. You just walk in the entrance under the sign and seating is first come first serve. How nice. I was happily surprised that around 7pm, this place was buzzing. We had to wait a few mins to get a seat. Dark and moody, lots of vibrant conversations, loud music, it was great to see. It reminded me a little of NYC. We had a couple drinks and our server was friendly and brisk - here, gone, back with drinks in a flash. I really like this place. read more

Great dirty martini with hand stuffed blue cheese olives yum. Oysters were delicious as well, the natural I enjoyed more than the dressed just because the dressed were a bit spicy for me! Ambience was amazing. read more

We came here after eating at porzana for a drink and it had amazing vibes! My friend sent us in for the tequila and egg white drink, but it wasn't on the menu. When we asked our waiter what he recommended and what they were known for he brought up that drink and said they could still make it off menu. We went for it and it was delicious! The name started with the word all, but I can't remember what exactly it was called. very delicious and can't wait to go back. read more

Flora Room is a speakeasy-esque hidden bar behind Porzana. It is in the middle of a small alley, but the sign can be seen from the outside. Once inside the first door, there are some stairs and a second door is a few steps away. Flora Room is inside the second door. Came here on my own on a Friday evening while visiting the Twin Cities. Got here a few minutes before open, and there was only one other group waiting. We were all seated promptly at 5pm. I decided to sit at the bar versus a table. It is dark and moody inside, but all the plants and greenery help bring a livelier vibe. Once seated, Edgar gave me menus and talked me through some food and drink options. I ordered the Ole (an N/A cocktail) and Chipas to start, then had the Southie and Pa amb Tomaquet. Everything was exceptional. Many of the syrups and mixers are made in-house such as the Pomegranate Grenadine (?) in the Ole. The Ole was bright, refreshing, and slightly tart -- a great drink to start off with. The Chipas were a delicious starter. They remind me of Pao de Queijo, which is a Brazilian cheese bread, often served at Brazilian steakhouses or bbq spots. These are smaller, but had a similar airy, texture with a mild cheese flavor. The dipping sauce they came with was divine too. The Southie has savory notes to it, with some tartness from the yuzu and a unique flavor from the shiso. It is also made with Genever, which Edgar explained is kind of a cross between gin and scotch. Amazing drink. It's not as floral as a typical gin drink and the malt comes through. The Pa amb Tomaquet was another excellent dish. It is essentially tomato bread, and reminds me a little of bruchetta. The Ilajua had great flavor with a slight kick. It paired well with the anchovies. The bread was perfectly toasted, with a great balance of crispness and softness. Overall, giving Flora Room a 5/5. Would give it a 10/5 if I could. The service (shoutout to Edgar for the great conversation, hospitality, and recommendations), ambiance, food, and drinks are exceptional. Would highly recommend to anyone and would definitely be back when visiting the Twin Cities. This is an awesome spot for solo diners, and I'm sure just as awesome for groups or dates. read more

came here with a large group for pre-dinner cocktails on a Saturday night. despite the large group, we were able to find seats in the back which was nice because we all got to sit together. the staff was prompt in bringing us water and taking our orders. I had the Calluna which was so light and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. Others had the Sao Paolo Girl, the Mediterranea, and the Sachamama among others and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would definitely consider coming back here to try more of their menu in the future! read more

Absolutely love going to flora for a cocktail! Think green house with mood lighting - it's candle lit and there are plants literally everywhere. They have such fun and unique cocktails, small bites, and even matches to take home (my favorite part)! Their fries are a delicious side to go with any of the cocktails. The lines are quite long on the weekends, especially around dinner time. They do not take reservations so try going later at night! read more

Had the chance to go to Flora Room for a friend's birthday! Loved the vibe of the whole place - plants everywhere and only candles for lighting (made it hard to read the menu ngl). The music choices were so good! The double burger was so juicy and the toppings came on the side which was really nice so you could add whatever you wanted. The standout ingredient to me was the cheese on the burger! It was so warm, gooey, and flavorful! Also had the NON1 which was non-alcoholic - loved that it came in a wine glass so you don't feel like you're missing out. read more

I visited Flora Room for a date night with my husband and what. a. vibe. This speakeasy style bar located in the back alley behind Porzana is so aesthetic! I've heard Flora Room can get busy but when we visited there was no wait and plenty of tables to choose from (~7:30pm). I loved that it was seat yourself. We sat at the bar and a bartender promptly welcomed us and got us water. In terms of the menu, we aren't sophisticated cocktail drinkers so I wish we would have asked the bartender what to order based on what we typically go for in a cocktail -- next time we'll ask! I ordered the Valentina and my husband ordered the Salacia. We both preferred the Salacia over the Valentina. The service was quick and the bartender was very friendly. Overall, this is a perfect spot for a romantic date night and I look forward to visiting again and trying their food! read more

Looking for a downtown hideaway to go with your friends that has great drinks. Here it is! Thoughtful cocktails and the atmosphere is great to have those intimate conversations. Great service and atmosphere. The only reason this isn't 5 star is because I had one of their plum hand rolls, and it is profoundly overwhelming. I'm not sure what it was, but it was INTENSE. It's hard to explain what the flavors were - but it was like they took a bunch of taco seasoning/other stuff and just soaked it for eternity. I'm sorry to be so straightforward but I just hope it gets improved because that place could easily be a staple of the Minneapolis culture. read more

Went here for a birthday celebration on a Saturday night and it was crazy busy. We got there early to secure a table which we ended up needing to put together multiple tables. Shorty after the doors open the place was filled. We ended up with about a party of 10 or so. We were served at our table but with it being so crowded it looked like it's a walk-up bar style otherwise. We ended up ordering a few rounds of drinks and food. I ordered the Miami Girl & Alsace (I think) for drinks and popcorn chicken & fries for food. The drinks were good and presented well. The food was also good but I felt like the chicken was a bit over-seasoned and salty. Overall I'm glad I got to experience the Flora Room, not sure I'd be back just because it's so busy but it's a cool place! Parking was a bit rough in the area but they do have valet which is nice. read more

This place has been on my bucket list since it opened, and I finally made it over with a gal pal for a Monday night cocktail! HIDDEN ENTRY: Flora Room is located beneath Porzana - you'll want to go to Porzana, walk along N 2nd Ave, and back behind it you'll take the staircase down. You'll see a light above a door next to the dumpster (yes, really) and enter this speakeasy space from there! AMBIANCE: 5/5 This is the star of the show for sure. Dark, moody, botanical, and green with live plants - the decoration and vibe is immaculate. So cozy and great for date night or evening night caps! We were the first to arrive on a Monday night, so had our pick of seats - I highly recommend a half-circle booth. They have bar seating and 2- and 4-tops in the middle. You can even enter the glass space where plants hang along the back wall and find a few high-top tables in there as well. DRINKS: 5/5 The cocktails are very playful and eclectic. I LOVE that the specialty drink menu has hand drawings of what the cocktails look like and have in them - I always want to see what they look like before ordering! I had to go with the Alsace because I'd seen awesome pics of it, but we had a hard time choosing. Alsace was amazing - and my friend enjoyed her cocktails, too! SERVICE: 3/5 This was a surprise - for such a tailored experience, the service was confusing. We had 3-4 different servers throughout our time there - and inconsistent periods of time would pass between getting checked in on so we had to flag someone down to order food and another round of drinks. It felt so strange that we didn't have an assigned server, and service was very abrupt. FOOD: 4/5 We ordered the fries and two handrolls - we loved the fries, and the handrolls were really good! They were a bit smaller than I expected, but still fun and fresh. Their food menu is pretty limited, which I don't mind, but wish they had more easy apps/shareables for folks like us just wanting to sip cocktails and snack on something. PRICE: 4/5 Oof, those prices are steep. One of the cocktails is $30, and most of them are in the $18-$24 range. Each of our small handrolls were $9. The cocktails were so cool, but it felt cost-prohibitive to have more than one during our visit. It was fun to come and experience it, but not sure I'd be back for anything other than a celebratory single cocktail. read more

Wow can you say details?? The ambience in here makes you feel like you transported somewhere moody and magical. From the plants to the candles to the cute sketches of each drink in the menu... just beautiful I got a NA drink the Enzo which felt like a mimosa's fancy cousin. I did feel $10 was a teeny bit steep for NA but hey it's 2024 what else is new? My husband got the old fashioned which was great and we split some delicious fries. Live this place. We did come on a Saturday at 5:30 ( opens at 5) and it was packed. Also, no street parking was available anywhere near it so we had to pay $12 for a garage...boo! read more

Flora Room - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Flora Room is the newest speakeasy although some liken it to a cocktail lounge. Its located in the North Loop beneath Porzana's Argentinian steakhouse. Side street parking can be limited however there's valet & a parking ramp across the street. Every great speakeasy is a bit incognito. You can find the valet on the right side of the building, follow the ramp and continue to the back entrance. We arrived at 5:10pm and the place was already packed! Its the perfect spot for a date, solo, or girls/ fellas night out with it's dimly lit atmosphere with a mirrored backdrop at the bar. The florescent lit plant atrium is lined with top tables that seat up to 3 people. The coveted sage-green velour booths were snug for four of us, however we were comfortable. There is also seating down the middle, between the bar and atrium which is cozy. The swanky indoor atrium feel is what makes it a vibe along with the music and service. As self-proclaimed high-low girl, Flora's menu didn't disappoint. Food is served up until 12am and they offer shareable apps and a variety of cocktails. Food/Drinks 5/5 Alsace $19 | The Tuco Tuco $16 | Popcorn chicken $13 | French fries $9 Chicken has a parmesan season/ fries we were shocked tbh. Even cold they were unmatched! Reminds me of Parlour fries! The star of the night: Not Fried Chicken Ice Cream $12 (vanilla, white chocolate, corn flakes).The chef included a Kit Kat in the middle for fun, it's flaky texture was savory while not being too sweet! Total: $80 (including the tip) The service was great the first time around with bartender being attentive and helpful with suggestions. Our second time was great then we switched booths where my friend didn't have such a great experience with the waitress when she requested a straw however she redeemed herself with shots for the table, a meeting of the minds and everything was smooth sailing moving forward. Flora is a vibe, if you're planning a trip, arrive early! read more

Awesome spot for unique drinks and vibes (+ bar snacks!) This place gets pretty busy and is first come first serve, so definitely plan a bit before coming here! The entrance is behind Porzana doors if you follow the ramp down on the right side of the building. I had a great time with our group of 3 at this place! We ordered fries and all got our own drinks. Drink prices are a bit steep ~$18 but considering location and overall vibes, I can see why. Great service and very attendant server. read more

What a beautiful speak easy. Its a nice place to bring a date but it is loud. I wish they would play quieter music so that it wouldn't feel so much like a club They had cute cups for moscow mule and others, and a very eclectic drink menu. They even had non alcoholic drinks. I got the NA drink with yuzu in it and wasnt a fan. It was very sour and..not very interesting. Didn't even taste the yuzu. I wish bars would put NA drinks in cute cups too. Ok, heres a must have if you visit here. Get the chicken sandwich. It is seriously the crispiest, juciest chicken fried sandwich I'd had in my life. The fries are good but they are overly crispy and feel like the innard potatoes were all sucked out. They grew on my though and I did end up eating it all. But get the chicken sandwich! read more

Maybe it is a five star experience if you actually get in for a drink. We wanted a quick cocktail after a lovely meal at Porzana. We walked over and went through the door to the bar. There's no signage at all, so we walked in to a fairly busy bar but with plenty of seats open. Several other guests walk in at the same time. All of sudden a random guy that just looks like a patron walks up really aggressively and says "I'm gonna need yall to back up".... No explanation, no "sorry guys can we go back out and I'll get you guys seated". Just sends us into a hallway and shuts the door . Then comes in, doesn't apologize, continues to be rude AF and proceeds to let everyone know it's going to be 45 minutes to sit at a bar that easily had 10 open seats. There are a lot of places in this neighborhood with better service. Cute though. Would have liked to try a cocktail. read more

It is so great having this space be occupied once again. I had high expectations coming into Flora Room and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed! The person at the door escorted us inside, which was lovely. The space is gorgeous. The place was pretty packed, but a friend and I were able to grab a couple of spots at the bar. Our bartender was excellent! They were super attentive, even though it seemed to be a busy night. I ordered the Alsace, which was described as similar to Marvel Bar's Olivetto - a drink I have been missing for years! And it was incredible. Perfectly balanced, delicious, and a bit nostalgic. Other highlights : - Has all of the old charm, but with a breath of new life. - Staff is a well-oiled machine. - The photos of each cocktail in the menu are unique and extremely helpful in choosing a drink. read more
