Want the scoop on sensational meetings in Minneapolis? Consider The News Room, a newspaper-themed restaurant on Nicollet Mall that serves up diversified American fare alongside a full bar for beers, wines, and cocktails. Planners can book a full buyout of the restaurant for more than 200 attendees, and smaller spaces like the Quiet Room can host more intimate dinners. The restaurant’s staff also can assist in crafting prix fixe custom menus to match the group’s palate.
“The quality of our food is paramount,” says Emily Odenthal, events coordinator and front of house manager at the restaurant. “We have a scratch kitchen, going so far as to make even our ricotta cheese in-house, and we continually update the menu and offer seasonal specials.”
