Nicollet Mall

Discover Nicollet Mall, downtown’s main 11-block thoroughfare. The clean, welcoming street is a doorway to some of the best restaurants, shopping, entertainment and hotels in town. Here’s just a few things you’ll find:

Orchestra Hall / Peavey Plaza

Leading classical and pop music stars perform year-round at the acoustically-perfect Orchestra Hall. It’s also the home of the Minnesota Orchestra, which, led by Director Osmo Vänskä, has drawn extraordinary reviews for concerts both at home and abroad. Outside, Peavey Plaza offers an area to relax and take in music in the summertime (and to skate in the winter)!

Brit’s Pub

One of the most beloved bars in the city, Brit’s is a mingling ground for everyone, young and old, businessman or not. In the summer, lawn bowling on the roof is a can’t-miss.

Vincent: A Restaurant

One of the city’s premiere restaurants. Although it serves some fancy French cuisine, it also has amazing deals—like the happy hour Vincent hamburger (stocked with pork and gouda).

Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant

Minneapolis has the fourth biggest jazz scene in the nation, and this is probably why. A perfect venue to see stars and up-and-comers, the Dakota also is known for serving some of the best grub in town.

The Farmer’s Market

(May-October) Every Thursday, Nicollet Mall comes alive with fresh fruits, vegetables, organic goods and more. Bring your reusable bag and get in on the fun.

The Local

Known for selling the most Jameson whiskey in the world, this Irish bar has is dimmed and usually filled to the brim.

Barrio

Voted the hottest new restaurant of 2009, Barrio offers small, fresh plates, premium tequila and drop-over-dead-for margaritas. It’s also a great place to spend later night hours.

Macy’s

Once Dayton’s (and then Marshall Fields) this downtown shopping center has long held the heart of the city. Special events, like its 8th floor holiday showcase and spring flower show, make it a must-see.

Gaviidae Common

Gaviidae Common on 6th and Nicollet is your one-stop shop for upscale downtown shopping. The complex features Neiman Marcus, Talbots, Ann Taylor, Morton's of Chicago Steakhouse and more.

The Minneapolis Central Library

Designed by Cesar Pelli, this gem marks the north end of Nicollet Mall. The building’s stunning architecture (worth a tour in itself) is matched by the wealth inside—it holds the third largest per capita library collection of any major U.S. city.
