The Living Room

Located on the first floor, The Living Room is the hotel bar for The W. I made several visits While in town to celebrate Prince, I stayed at The W and made a few visits to The Living Room. The W was one of the host hotels for the official Prince Celebration 2022 festivities and the official welcome party was held at The Living Room. As to be expected, this party resulted in lots of people who came to dance, drink and to celebrate the 'Purple Yoda from Minnesota'. Surprisingly, this space was an excellent option for the party it has a dance floor area along with a large well-stocked bar which easily accommodated everyone's drink choice. Add to that, they had a few Purple drink specials for the night which were tasty. The bartenders did a great job in processing the nonstop drink orders and the servers were kept very busy throughout the night. When not used for parties, the ambiance is much more laid-back. As the name says, it has more of a 'living room' feel. In addition to the long bar, there are many sections of lounge seating (chars, couches, etc.) which are perfect for unwinding. Even after the party, the bar continued to be well-stocked; so well-stocked that a friend and I made a couple of discoveries while sipping one afternoon. To our surprise, they had a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle (10 year) along with a bottle of Weller Single Barrel. It's rare to find either at a bar; having both made for an amazing find. My friend and I quickly made it our mission to empty both bottles so we would each have a souvenir from The Living Room (we succeeded). Following the welcome party, the bartenders could have been a bit tired but that was far from the case, they were as energetic and welcoming as they were at the party. If interested in food to go with your adult beverage, they work directly with Manny's Steakhouse (also attached to The W) which means anything from appetizers to a complete steak dinner can be ordered and enjoyed while in The Living Room. On future trips, whether staying at The W or not, I will make a point to stop by The Living Room for an adult beverage or two.

Great vibes. They serve food directly from Mannys so it's awesome. Great cocktails. Lovely fire and just a nice place to start your night before heading elsewhere or catch a drink. They usually have a dj which is awesome. The waiters are super nice and helpful and do their best to serve you. Overall this place leaves up to its name. Very laid back like you're in your living room getting ready for a pregame. Enjoy!

Great atmosphere and well-crafted drinks! Bartenders and servers were kind and gave excellent service. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

Great kick back area for out of towners, Friday's and Saturday's local Djay's good food and drinks, grown and sexy atmosphere.

This is my new favorite bar in Minneapolis! Swanky, posh, and not pretentious. The live DJ spins fabulous dance music and people start dancing after a few cocktails. The crowd is classy and it gets pretty packed later in the evening. We went on Sat. night and our vodka tonics were only $7 which is reasonable for an upscale place like this; I'm pretty sure they used Grey Goose vodka too! I didn't even know this place existed until I ate at Manny's; this lounge is like a hidden jewel in Mpls.! I highly recommend taking your out of town friends here. Part of the decor reminds me of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance video.

The Living Room has always been a staple when I visit Minneapolis. The ambiance is set up very nicely as there is the main bar area with many sections of lounge chairs, which makes it great for either a group or date setting. The DJ right up front with a dancefloor and typically the music is house or EDM. The décor is high end, to go along with many unique cocktails.It's not the cheapest place, but as I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate The Living Room as the crowd is more mature than other destinations in Minneapolis. Check it out when you can!

Super chill spot! Lots of spots to sit and relax with whoever you're with! Live dj on Friday nights from what I'm seeing now. Very cool spot to hang out at and have a few drinks!

I really liked this bar I stayed in w hotel and it was nice that this bar downstairs. We stayed 3 nights we went there 3 nights hehe. So fun place. Djs are good. All the servers are super polite

Nice place to have drinks with a lounge atmosphere. Bartenders were very nice and pleasant. Live music on the day we were there

Stopped in for a drink and snack after a long day of air travel. Food and drinks were both excellent. To top it off, Catie was a phenomenal server. Just the kind of pleasant and thoughtful person you hope to encounter at the end of a long day. Cheers!
