Dish and Drink Spotlights: What to Try on Your Next Visit to The Rabbit Hole

Picture this: you are in the North Loop and you are hungry. There are plenty of places to get a decent meal, but you aren't looking for decent — you want excellent. That's when you should direct your feet to The Rabbit Hole.

Far more than your typical sports bar, The Rabbit Hole's food menu features elevated takes on classic American bar food. From the appetizers to the salads to the burgers and sandwiches, everything is crafted with ingenuity and presented with care and flair.

Whether you are coming in for a happy hour snack, a full meal, or a late night dessert with one of the best cocktails in Minneapolis, we have what you're looking for. From updated and unique versions of the classics to dishes that Minnesotans might not be familiar with yet, there is always something cool to try at The Rabbit Hole.

This Month's Featured Dish: The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich

Chicken sandwiches have been having a moment. It seems like every fast food joint is trying to push their own version of the same chicken plus pickle sandwich as the best thing ever, but they are so similar to each other that none of them really stand out.

That makes The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich at The Rabbit Hole one of the must-try dishes of the summer. It gives you heat, slaw, and thick pickles on a soft bun for a balanced flavor that hits you with spicy goodness without overwhelming your palette. 

To really make the flavors sing, ask for extra pickles and a Summit draft or pair your sandwich with one of our numerous signature drinks or a house margarita. The crispiness of the chicken, the heat and tangyness of the sandwich, and a refreshing drink will make for a culinary experience that you just can't get at a run-of-the-mill sports bar.

Signature Cocktails: See What's Shaking at the Bar

The Rabbit Hole food menu is not the only thing that will make your mouth water — there is also the incredible list of signature cocktails. Running the gamut from traditional favorites to totally unique inventions, you will be able to find a fresh flavor perfect for you.

If you've been asking yourself, "where are the best craft cocktails near me?" you need to look into The Rabbit Hole's Happy Hour — Monday-Saturday from 3 to 6 and Sunday all the way from Noon to 8 — to find your answer.

The House Old Fashioned

A classic cocktail for good reason, you just can't beat a good old fashioned. Rich, but not aggressive, the house old fashioned at The Rabbit Hole gives you the traditional flavor profile with a little something extra that you won't find anywhere else. And at only $7 during happy hour, it's perfectly priced for a daytime drink.

The House Margarita

It would be foolish to look at house cocktails without digging into the joys of The House Margarita. The Rabbit Hole's margaritas are made with balance in mind. The citrus flavors are front and center, but it never tastes too sweet or too sour. And as previously mentioned, it pairs wonderfully with The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich or any other spicy snack on the menu.

Drafts and Cans

Sometimes you don't want a cocktail, you just want a nice, cold beer. The Rabbit Hole has local craft beer specials on Summit drafts every happy hour as well as Kona Big Wave and canned classics like Coors, White Claw, Busch, and more.
