Erté and The Peacock Lounge	Details
Erte and The Peacock Lounge have an old European feeling, a Parisian Steak Salon in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Historic Arts District. The Lounge has a theatrical flair with the elevated Bird Cage Stage, showcased with floor to ceiling maroon velvet curtains. Pull up a stool and enjoy one of our specialty cocktails or mirco brews at the 32 foot zinc top bar with a mahogany raised paneled base. The old world charm continues when you enter Erte through massive mahogany doors into an inviting dining room with original tin ceilings 16 feet over head. The dining room is spacious and cozy with a wine bar that offers additional seating and there’s also a private dining salon. Erte has some of the best local musicians offering a variety of jazz, pop, blues, and original pieces Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Check out our website, ertedining.com, for the music schedule. This family owned and operated business offers memorable and uniquely chef prepared meals of incredible value. There's something appetizing for everyone; steaks, chops, fish, and hearty salads. Loyal customers love the traditional brisket, they always say it’s the best they’ve ever had. Remember to leave room for the desserts! Like everything else served at Erte, they’re made from scratch with the freshest ingredients. The key lime pie, creative cheesecakes, turtle brownies, and bread puddings are always rich and delicious. We’re excited about our new outdoor dining this year along 13th Avenue NE, it’s a thriving neighborhood with art galleries, the Ritz theater, and other fine restaurants. Stop by and check us out!
