What to know

CrowBar opened as an East Side refuge for neighbors who care about music, craft, and community. Born alongside Voliere Spirits—the state’s first women-owned whiskey distillery—the bar doubles as a tasting room where cocktails are built from proprietary liquors and elixirs. Founders focused on hospitality that feels personal: knowledgeable pours, thoughtful zero-proof options, and a playlist that makes you stay longer. It matters because it reclaims a small corner of Minneapolis as a place for connection and craft.
