Located in the marble lobby of the former historic Patterson Hotel, Peacock Alley will envelop you with a sense of history.

Decorated with priceless antiques, magnificent stained glass, and a wall of old photos, this bar and restaurant, the oldest in North Dakota, opened its doors in 1933 at the end of prohibition, and it is still the city’s gathering place and the venue for the most important meetings and celebrations.

Its spacious bar is famous for 18 kinds of classic and special cocktails and an excellent selection of wines and beers. Head Chef Dustin Swenningson will treat you to delights such as Salmon Crusted Bavarian Pretzel with smoked salmon and flavorful asiago cheese, and you can have a choice of superb cuts of beef such as Teres Major Steak with goat cheese and tomato bacon jam.
