I was scrolling through the Downtown Rochester, Minnesota Facebook page to see if I had missed anything interesting and I came across a reel for this new spot in town.
It turns out, they quietly opened at the end of January this year and I'm just now learning about it. So I wanted to pass the information along to you.
New Cocktail Lounge Open in Rochester, MN
The place is called Pereira's Wine and Whiskey Lounge. I'm not sure of their exact opening date but the first post they shared on Facebook with their hours was on January 25th.
The inside looks really cool, with different themed rooms, "thoughtfully curated offerings", and a "laid back, yet sophisticated lounge".
Obviously they specialize in wine and whiskey but they also serve up craft cocktails. Every Thursday they also have live music.
