a space unlike any other.
Nestled in the heart of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, The Whim boasts 15,000+ square feet of airy white walls, soaring timber ceilings, sprawling vintage brick, and a vibrant romance reminiscent of the roaring ’20s. Inspired by European art and industrial beauty, The Whim is the perfect space to create an experience.
the patio
Complete with trees and cafe lights, the patio is an ideal spot for lawn games and to catch the sunset during cocktail hour.
THE EVENT SPACE
Our 14-foot ceilings are the perfect height to curate a canopy of lighting, floral, and custom installations to create a one-of-a-kind event. Keep it simple or go elaborate. Either one will be show-stopping.
the Suites
We provide two on site getting ready suites designed for the ultimate luxury experience.
mixed-use rooms
Whether it be for cocktail hour, dessert displays, photo booth areas, additional getting ready space, or simply a quiet place to retreat, we offer two mixed-use spaces to be used as you wish.
the speakeasy
Our underground speakeasy is the perfect spot for late night libations. Customize as a 1920’s speakeasy or your favorite late night bar - either way your guests will LOVE this unexpected space.

Some people believe that spaces sell themselves.
We believe it's the experience that sells the space.
