New Year's Eve In Minneapolis?

I%26#39;m going to be spending New Year%26#39;s Eve in Minneapolis this year and was looking for some advice on what to do/see....

Generally speaking, just looking for something casual/romantic in terms of a restaurant and then a place with a similar vibe for drinks towards midnight and perhaps dessert - so far have been looking at dining near the waterfront and checking out the fireworks... not too sure for a destination after dinner though for drinks/dessert and the countdown to midnight...

New Year's Eve In Minneapolis?

the Nicollet Island Inn is very romantic - and you can%26#39;t get more waterfront than an island in the river

New Year's Eve In Minneapolis?

NIcollet Island Inn is along the Mississipi river and there is a New year celebration just outside the Inn typically. You can also view fireworks from there - at 8 PM on 31st and 12AM when the new year strikes.

Agree on Nicollet Island Inn. You mentioned casual, which I expect to mean not loud and rowdy. My guess is that would be it. Fun, wiht a great view of fireworks, but lower on the decibel meter.

There are no fireworks in Minneapolis on New Years. They were cancelled last year.

what made you dig this old thread up?
