Ike's Food & Cocktails
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Despite the retro look of the sign outside, Ike's Food & Cocktails hasn't been a downtown staple for decades on decades. It just feels that way. Celebrating 10 short years on the scene, Ike's has quickly become a go-to eatery and bar, offering classy, white-tablecloth atmosphere and a wide-ranging food menu that runs the gamut from sandwiches and specialty burgers to chicken satay and parmesan cracker-crusted walleye. As the name suggests, there's also a full bar serving wine, craft beers, and spirits — the Weekender bloody mary is a particular standout. And if you're only getting as close to downtown as your layover allows, don't worry — there's an outpost of Ike's at the airport, too.
