Power breakfasts. Convenient business lunches. Romantic dinners. Five-course weekend brunches. Experience them all from the Nicollet Island Inn’s scenic dining room or beautiful outdoor patio and see why they consistently earn “Best Brunch,” “Best View,” and “Most Romantic Dining,” awards from regional and national publications. Private dining experiences are also available for any occasion.

If dinner in the main dining room isn't in your plans and the bar seems a bit too casual, join the piano lounge for a night of entertainment and musical stimulation. With high-backed chairs, low lighting and the beautiful musings of one of the Inn vocalists you are sure to lose yourself as the night streams on and the notes our baby-grand take your worries away.

Nic’s Bar & Lounge (located inside the Nicollet Island Inn) is the perfect spot to enjoy a premium beverage in a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Whether it’s after work or before the show, enjoy the carefully selected choices of micro-brews, small-batch bourbons, single-malt scotches and vintage ports. In addition to their full menu fare, Nic’s Bar & Lounge features a chalkboard bar menu offering burgers, sandwiches and small plates. The bar also offers a large “by the glass” wine offering from the Nicollet Island Inn’s award-winning wine list. And if the outdoors are more to your liking, enjoy the patio view of the Minneapolis skyline, just outside the bar doors (except in winter, of course).

Enjoy convenient free parking adjacent to the Inn. After dinner, take a stroll through the scenic Nicollet Island Park–or journey back in time with a horse-drawn carriage ride from the Hitching Company.
