Alexandria

Alexandria has drawn vacationers to Minnesota's Central Lakes region since the 1800s, and its bar scene reflects that resort-town character - BarFinder lists 26 venues here, led by sports bars alongside a notable mix of wineries, breweries, and a distillery. Local spots like Pike and Pint Grill and 22 Northmen Brewing Company sit near the area's chain of lakes, while Carlos Creek Winery adds a different kind of stop for visitors passing through. It's a small-town scene built around lake-life tourism more than a dense downtown bar strip.
