Luna & The Bear - Kitchen & Libation House 18 West 26th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55404

"Came to Luna & the Bear for a quick brunch after a high recommendation from a friend. Ordered the farmers skillet as well as the Luna Burger and flavors were there and perfection in cooking was on display. Not only were the potatoes and fries, perfectly cooked but well seasoned as well as high-quality ingredients throughout. Had a bear paw cocktail which was very subtle and still well balanced. The overall interior aesthetic was great to add to the scenery and the soundtrack being played was great as well. I would highly recommend popping through Luna & the bear kitchen and libations house for a good quick brunch or meal.l and great customer service! I will be back with more friends."

"This place is the definition of 5 stars. They have a killer Happy Hour menu (all day Sunday) that features $5 "Schooners" (huge beers). Food was delicious and thoughtful. Our server, Cory, was perfect; attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We will absolutely be coming back here. Highly recommend the "Gin & Jam" drinks!"

"Went to Luna and the Bear for restaurant week. The food was good and our waiter was spectacular. The cocktails were the star of the show though. Luna's gin and jams really are some of the best drinks you can find on Eat Street. Will definitely be visiting again soon!"

"Let start off properly. The menu, diverse. The food, absolutely wonderful for its offers. The freshness is fully in the flavor. The drinks great. I had the old fashioned and it was very well balanced, and the gin and jams are wonderful. You have to try the fig and orange. Bon appetite!"

"This is a hallowed space in Minneapolis dining and drinking lore, so there were probably some reservations at first whether the new kid on the block (literally) was going to carry the torch upright. WELP. Luna & The Bear is spectacular. Gin & Jams are a deceptively simple but highly novel cocktail concept, and affordable enough that you better Uber/Lyft if you start experimenting with the various gins and jams in combination. The food was great when they opened, but now they've gone Super Saiyan. The Americana burger is one of my top 10 burgers in the Twin Cities, the BBQ Mac is killer, the cauliflower freekeh will make you feel good about the choices you've made, and they even have an excellent Iowa tenderloin sandwich-- which is rarely seen in these parts. tldr; L&B is absolutely crushing it right now, and I'm thrilled they're the restaurant that is occupying that space-- hopefully for years to come."
