Spirited Awards lists 2 Minneapolis bars among the best in the country
The Tales of the Cocktail Foundation, the hospitality nonprofit that hosts the annual spirits conference of the same name, has announced the Regional Top 10 Honorees for its Spirited Awards. The awards have honored outstanding work in cocktails since 2007, and this year, a couple of Twin Cities bars are getting some well-deserved recognition. The foundation's list of Regional Top 10 Honorees recognizes the work of individuals and bars/restaurants from around the world, including three regions in the U.S. Among them is Meteor in Minneapolis, which has been listed in two categories: Best U.S. Bar Team - U.S. Central and Best U.S. Cocktail Bar - U.S. Central. The bar was listed for Best U.S. Bar Team in 2024 as well. Meanwhile, the Gavin Kaysen-led Spoon and Stable has been listed in Best U.S. Restaurant Bar - U.S. Central, a category where it was listed in 2024, 2023, and 2022, among other honors it has received from the foundation. That's not the only recognition that Spoon and Stable has received recently. Earlier this year, it was announced that Spoon and Stable bartender Jarod Schiebout is a finalist to compete in the U.S. Bartenders Guild's national competition. The pair of Minneapolis drink hubs, as well as Public Parking in Madison, Wis. (Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar - U.S. Central), are the only watering holes to make the cut from Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Wisconsin. Though, the central region is represented by a broad swath of the country, with finalists in states that include Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Louisiana, and Texas. The 2025 Spirited Awards will be celebrated in a ceremony at the Tales of the Cocktail conference in New Orleans on July 24.
