Minneapolis' Most Exciting and Entertaining Piano Bar and Music Lounge

Nic's Bar & Lounge

Nic's Bar & Lounge is the perfect spot to enjoy a premium beverage in a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Whether it's after work or before the show, enjoy our carefully selected choices of micro-brews, small-batch bourbons, single-malt scotches and vintage ports.

In addition to a full menu fare--ranging from Maple Glazed Salmon Salad to the Char Grilled Sirloin, Nic's Bar & Lounge also provides our guests with a large "by the glass" wine offering from the Nicollet Island Inn’s award-winning wine list. If the outdoors are more to your liking, enjoy our adjacent patio view of the Minneapolis skyline (except in winter, of course).

Live Music at Nic's Lounge

In a continuing effort to bring a variety of live musicians to the Inn, we would like to introduce three new lounge singers. Maria Benson, Kristin Sponcia and Ashleigh Fumich will be performing on a rotating schedule Friday and Saturday nights from 6:30-10:30 pm. Our full menu is available in the Lounge, or join us for a glass of wine and dessert as you enjoy one of our wonderful summer singers.

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

Every Friday and Saturday night, the Inn features one of three different Minneapolis based singers. Be our guest as they entertain with their voice and our piano. Full dinning-room and bar menus are available as well as complete attention from our bar staff.
