Bar Rufus

Bar Rufus operates within the historic Rand Tower Hotel on South Marquette Avenue in Minneapolis, offering an elegantly designed cocktail bar adorned with swanky velvet furnishings and quirky artistic touches. Named after Rufus Rand, an accomplished World War I pilot and aviation innovator, the bar features skilled mixologists crafting innovative cocktails like the Lavazza espresso martini and the Minneapolitan—a blend of Minnesota-distilled gin, lavender syrup, and fresh lemon juice. The intimate venue combines its refined cocktail program with an elevated modern American menu featuring braised beef, specialty cheese curds, and artisanal charcuterie.
