Now introducing the Elixir Lounge!
Brought to you by Swanky Entertainment Inc., the Elixir Lounge is a casual cocktail lounge and restaurant in the heart of the ware house district Downtown Minneapolis on the corner of First Ave. and Fourth St. The vision for Elixir Lounge is to be a warm inviting place you can come for a great cocktail and a conversation at the same time. Which seems obvious for a bar and restaurant to provide, but finding a bar on First Ave. where you can go and not have to shout over the blaring music is hard to find. The strip is getting saturated with crowded, noisy, bars that specialize in Jag bombs and Vodka Red Bulls. We would like to be the place where you can go to enjoy great cocktails with friends in a comfortable lounge atmosphere.
Elixir Lounge will offer affordable innovative cocktails we call elixirs, small plates and appetizers, and creative Panini style grilled sandwiches. A creative emphasis will be on the small plates and appetizers which groups can easily share. Such as truffle Mac and Cheese, variety plates of mini burgers, specialty cheese plates, and mini grilled cheese sandwiches made with Gouda or other gourmet cheeses, and spiced potato wedges served with specialty dipping sauces. We wish to provide these items in generous portions at economy friendly prices ranging from $4-$10 per item.
The atmosphere at Elixir Lounge is accentuated with warm earthy colors, elegant lighting, and funky comfortable couches which provide excellent lounge areas for friends to gather. The music and entertainment to be provided will be similar to something you might find in a swanky cocktail lounge in Las Vegas, featuring live acoustic music and eccentric lounge performers.
We think our concept will be a great addition to Downtown Minneapolis. We look forward to serving and catering to the business class professionals during happy hour, and the sophisticated late night crowd seeking a unique place to gather with friends for excellent food and cocktails.

If you are not white, DO NOT go to this place!!! It is an extremely racist bar!
The first time I went to Elixer, I went with a group of my white girl friends. The service wasn't the best but was half decent; I guess as expected at all DT MPLS bars. The second time, some friends and I went to Elixir to meet up with some other friends, and were told that it was told there was a private party. Funny that the bouncer at the door would tell us that and refuse our entry when our friends were inside already.
After this little episode I brought it up to a few other friends, and they've also experienced similar at Elixir. RACISM, is pretty much what it came down to. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!!! My friends and I will NEVER be going back!
