Pikok Lounge

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Pikok Lounge is the cocktail bar at the front of Minari in Northeast Minneapolis, sharing the address at 323 13th Avenue Northeast but running its own drink list and its own food menu. The name nods to the Peacock Lounge that operated in the Twin Cities for more than two decades, and the room is more casual than the dining room behind it. Hours run Sunday through Thursday from four until nine, with Friday and Saturday stretching to ten, and happy hour covering the first two hours every day. Korean flavors carry through from the kitchen into the glass, which gives the bar a point of view of its own.
