I would just note that the Monte Carlo will feel very old school compared to a lot of the others listed—it’s an older more family-leaning crowd. Great martinis though!

I like Bar Rufus at the Rand Hotel [beautiful Art Deco treasures and uplifting design] on Marquette
On the fifth [I think] floor is a delicious French restaurant which also serves cocktails - Blondette, which has a retractable roof allowing you to see some lovely views of the architecture.

Adding:
HaiHai for a fab food/ cocktail combo. I just love it there.
And if you like a piano in a bar with a past, I love Nye’s. Beware, their cocktails are very strong and their happy hour is thus very happy .

Whenever someone tells me that they're going to visit Minneapolis, where I lived about 25 years ago, I always recommend Nye's. Such a fun place. Order the relish tray with your cocktails!
