MINNEAPOLIS
Executive Chef Aaron Hagerdorn has announced that Prairie Kitchen & Bar, which just celebrated its first anniversary at Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, now features an inviting outdoor patio on Nicollet Mall, an expanded menu with summer specialties, and also utilizes three on-premise beehives for honey used in menu items and handcrafted cocktails.
The 5,500-square-foot restaurant specializes in locally grown and seasonal items that evoke the Scandinavian and farming heritage of Minnesota; Chef Hagerdorn is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.
The new, fully furnished patio seats 40 and features two stone fire pits, rustic tables, and six Adirondack chairs. The patio provides an inviting atmosphere for group functions and is near the Loring Greenway on Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis’ thriving downtown thoroughfare. The patio menu includes items that are meant to share, such as BBQ Bison Sliders and Smoked Trout Dip, and the patio drink menu includes an array of local craft beers from Minnesota breweries such as Summit Brewery, Lift Bridge Brewery and Big Bay Brewing Company as well as Signature cocktails.
