This North Loop cocktail utopia isn’t resting on its Oliveto and Gatsby laurels. Your favorite bartender’s favorite bar keeps pushing the envelope. In the past year, drinks captain Pip Hanson and crew dabbled with low-proof pairings in the Bachelor Farmer, amped up Marvel’s flight and punch programs and introduced unusual hits including a seaweed-steeped Scotch and the optimally bitter After Eight. And Hanson just unveiled yet another sweetness-free musing via the invigorating and appropriately named Superdry. Don’t expect this back-to-back James Beard semifinalist to start coasting now. 50 N. 2nd St., Mpls.; 612-206-3929; marvelbar.com
