Lounges in Fargo

Fargo's cocktail lounge scene is one of the most surprising in the Great Plains — a city whose remarkable transformation into a tech hub (Microsoft, Google, and dozens of startups have established significant presences) creates a cocktail market of unusual sophistication for a city in the third-least-populated state in America. Fargo's extraordinary creative community and its genuine Great Plains character create a lounge environment of remarkable Upper Midwest vitality.

Fargo's NP Avenue cocktail corridor represents North Dakota's most vibrant emerging cocktail scene — a former railroad district where outstanding cocktail bars serve the most dynamic economy in the northern plains. Fargo's remarkable combination of Microsoft's second-largest US campus, a thriving startup ecosystem, and the genuine Great Plains character of the surrounding prairies create a cocktail market of unusual Upper Midwest tech-agricultural character.

Sky's Bar and Lounge is Fargo's premier cocktail lounge — a sophisticated upstairs bar with panoramic downtown views, craft cocktails, and a relaxed atmosphere that serves as an alternative to the high-energy nightclub scene on the Broadway strip. Fargo's professional community and the state government workforce who relocate from other parts of North Dakota have created sustained demand for upscale lounges like Sky's that offer a premium evening experience above the typical prairie bar.
