Let’s be honest: by the time January hits in Minnesota, we’ve all got a little bit of cabin fever. We crave the sun, the skyline, and the feeling of being out, but the “RealFeel” temperature usually has other plans.
At Reveal Rooftop Bar & Lounge, we decided that “patio season” shouldn’t be a three-month window. Thanks to our state-of-the-art retractable roof, we’ve officially declared war on the Minnesota winter.
Here is how we bring the outdoor energy to St. Louis Park, even when the flakes are falling.
The Magic of the Retractable Roof
Most “year-round” rooftops in the Twin Cities are just indoor rooms with big windows. Reveal is different. Our architectural retractable roof allows us to adapt to the sky in real-time.
When the sun is out, the roof is back. When a literal blizzard rolls through the West End? We close the glass, crank the climate control, and let you watch the snow swirl above your head while you stay perfectly toasted. It’s the visual of an outdoor lounge with the comfort of a luxury living room.
Spirits to Warm Your Soul
A winter rooftop experience is only as good as the glass in your hand. While we love a refreshing spritz in July, our Winter Menu leans into the bold and the boozy:
- The Bourbon Collection: With over 50 varieties of bourbon and rye, we specialize in flights that bring the heat.
- Signature Sips: Try our seasonal rotations—think smoked old fashioneds and spiced infusions designed to be sipped slowly.
- Tapas for Two: Pair your drinks with warm, shareable plates that keep the energy high and the conversation flowing.
The best part? You don’t even have to worry about the trek from the car. With our free parking, you can leave your heavy parka in the backseat and step straight into the vibes.
The “Winter Escape” You’ve Been Looking For
Located directly atop the AC Hotel Minneapolis West End, Reveal is more than just a bar—it’s the crown jewel of the West End’s most sophisticated stay.
Whether you are a local looking for a weekend “staycation” or a business traveler staying downstairs at the AC, you have world-class cocktails just an elevator ride away. By staying at the hotel, you can trade the winter commute for a night in a sleek, European-inspired room after the last round of drinks is served.
