Tullibee is the restaurant inside the Hewing Hotel at 300 N Washington Ave in Minneapolis’s North Loop. Its menu is built around a custom wood-fired hearth and ingredients from regional farms, forests and lakes, and diners come for refined Nordic-leaning cooking and well-made cocktails in a restored warehouse setting.
The restaurant takes its name from a freshwater whitefish native to Minnesota lakes, a fitting choice for a kitchen that cooks with fire, follows the seasons and draws heavily on the Upper Midwest (source: Hewing Hotel). Expect smoke-kissed proteins, foraged and preserved elements, and plates that change as local harvests shift. The room keeps the building’s late-19th-century bones, with exposed brick, heavy timber beams and warm lighting. Those details give the space the rustic-chic polish that makes it a regular pick for anniversaries and celebratory dinners. The bar program leans seasonal, so ask about house cocktails before ordering wine.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book ahead through OpenTable, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings. Twins home games and downtown events also fill North Loop dining rooms quickly. Weeknight and early-evening tables are easier to land and quieter for conversation. Confirm current hours before you go, since hotel restaurants adjust their service seasonally. Target Field and the Target Field Station light rail stop are a short walk away, and the North Loop’s boutiques and breweries make it easy to extend the evening.
