Winters get chilly in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and there's no better way to warm up on a cold day than with a steaming bowl of chili. If you have a hankering for something warm and spicy this season, consider this your guide to finding the best chili in the Twin Cities.

The Loon Cafe - 500 N. 1st Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55403
A beloved Downtown Minneapolis watering hole with a casual sports bar vibe, The Loon Cafe is known far and wide for its chili, which has repeatedly been voted the best in the Twin Cities. Try a cup or bowl of any of their six varieties, including Pecos River Red, Turkey White Bean, Veggie Chili, or the extra-spicy Pinto's Diablo Chili. The Loon Cafe is within walking distance of landmarks like the Minneapolis Central Library and Target Field and a short drive from countless Minneapolis homes for sale.
The Lowbrow - 4244 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55409
The Southwest Minneapolis neighborhood of King Field is known for its lively assortment of cafes and shops, and The Lowbrow is nestled right in the heart of the neighborhood of Nicollet Avenue. It's a great stop for locally-sourced comfort food, and their Bison Chili—served with house-made tortilla chips and a generous topping of cheddar and sour cream—is a perfect appetizer for one of their excellent burgers or sandwiches.
The Wienery - 414 Cedar Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN 55454
If your preferred way to eat chili is atop a hot dog, make a beeline for The Wienery. This charmingly unpretentious hot dog joint in Minneapolis' Cedar-Riverside neighborhood serves up more than a dozen variations on their classic Vienna all-beef hot dogs, including the Manhattan, which comes topped with a hefty helping of beef chili and optional cheese and onions. You can also get a cup or bowl of Wienery chili on its own or smothering a basket of hand-cut fries.
Burger Dive - 731 Randolph Ave., St. Paul, MN 55102
St. Paul has no shortage of classic American dive bars, and Burger Dive is truly a great one. They serve cold beer and unfussy pub grub, including house-made chili that can't be beaten. Burger Dive is within minutes of many St. Paul homes for sale, and their savory beef chili is served with cheddar, sour cream, chives, and a side or oyster crackers. Stop in Thursday through Saturday for karaoke 9 p.m. to close.
Surly Brewing Co. - 520 Malcolm Ave. SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
A bustling beer hall and microbrewery in an industrial space, Surly Brewing Co. has gained a reputation for crafting some of the best beer in the Twin Cities. They also serve a menu of elevated comfort food that pairs perfectly with their various brews. The chili is a real standout, bursting with flavor from slowly braised beef brisket. Enjoy a bowl with a frosty pint of Cruising Altitude Lager or Furious IPA.
The Uptowner Cafe on Grand - 1100 Grand Ave., St. Paul, MN 55105
With its classic '50s diner atmosphere, The Uptowner Cafe on Grand is a beloved breakfast and lunch spot in St. Paul. The cooks in this cozy joint consistently turn out diner staples like burgers, club sandwiches, BLTs, and patty melts from the open kitchen in full view of the patrons, who happily chow down at the counter or in one of a handful of booths. Uptowner chili is a house favorite, made with lean ground beef simmered in a spicy sauce.
