Brunch Menu

I booked our group a wine tasting for a friend's birthday online, and this was such a fun experience that they offer! Note, the wine tasting is $22 per person - I couldn't find the price listed when making the reservation on Tock. The interior and ambiance in here is amazing - you could really spend all day in here and have no idea what time it is! I love the elevated rustic feel. There's plenty of seating, and i can't wait for them to open their patio in the warmer weather! The only downside was that Sunday that had a DJ BLASTING music all afternoon, to the point where we couldn't hear each other or the employee doing our wine tasting. We all got headaches - plus the music didn't fit the vibe of the winery at all. I'd make a suggestion for a live guitarist or a DJ that plays more acoustic style music. Luckily, Jonathan (who ran our wine tasting) was so understanding and tried multiple times to have the music turned down. The wine tasting itself was fabulous and Jonathan knows their stuff! They were able to give us so much interesting information about each wine we tasted, plus gave wonderful recommendations. The tasting includes 5, 1oz pours - but Jonathan was definitely a little heavier on the pour which we appreciated. It was a very busy Sunday, so the timing between each glass was long - but Jonathan apologized a few times and gave us an extra pour for the inconvenience which we so appreciated! I'm someone that likes a sweeter wine, and doesn't drink red wine, so I loved using the tasting to figure out what I liked! My favorite was the Bumbley, I wish they bottled it so I could take it home. Otherwise, I loved the Reisling, Blanc, and Timber Rose. The best part of our tasting was that Jonathan did a Porron off the bar for us to celebrate our friend's birthday! They said that over the weekend they'll do it if you're up at the bar, so try asking next time! Overall, this had the potential to be a rough experience with the loud music and long wait times - but Jonathan was such a joy to work with they made it a fun experience. We will definitely be back for some trivia on a Wednesday night and just a day/night out for some wine!

I've been to Axebridge once or twice before for trivia night, but this weekend we made a reservation for a wine tasting to celebrate a friends birthday and it was such a great experience! We got there around 1pm on a Sunday and it was definitely more crowded than usual for that day/time. The one downside to this time was that there was a DJ in playing music pretty loudly the entire time we were there. If it was night time this would have been fun, but as it was 1pm on a Sunday it was just a bit too loud to hear each other talk and we ended up having to yell to each other over the music. The star of the show was the sommelier/staff member helping us, Jonathan! They were so friendly and super knowledgeable about all of the wines on the menu. We had a few questions each pour, and they answered us in perfect detail to help recommend the wine we'd like the best! We had a bit of a wait between pours due to it being busier than expected, but Jonathan gave us an extra pour at the end to make up for it which was so nice! Since we were also there celebrating a birthday, Jonathan told us about a tradition from Barcelona called a porron and let us try it! This was such a fun time, a great memories, and definitely made our friends birthday so special! The tasting was $22, definitely worth it for the amount and variety of wines you get to try. My favorites were the Itasca, Bumbley (praying that they start selling this by the bottle soon it is so good!!), timber blanc, and the riverside ruby. My group is already planning a day to go back!

Vibe: This place is stunning. It is very spacious and plenty of seating for small & large groups. Seating ranges from high top tables, couches by the fireplace, the bar and the patio (weather permitting of course). They also offered various board games to keep you company. Drinks: They had a good variety of wines ranging from dry to sweet. Not a red wine fan? Well, lucky for you they've got an array of wine ranging from white, sparking, red and more. Service: Not sure what you like? The servers got you covered. They have such an incredible team. They were extremely attentive, welcoming and treated us so kindly. They do offer light apps to pair with your wine. They also serve brunch so make sure you check their website for more details. I will definitely be back to do the wine tasting and brunch. but I highly recommend you check this spot out, you'll love it.

Cheese Curds

What a FIND!!!!! While in town for the holidays I wanted to explore the new restaurants and businesses in the north loop. After a google search I stumbled upon Axebridge. So I popped in on a Saturday night, my sister was running late so I sat at the bar while waiting for her. When I arrived the place had just finished a wedding so I was the only person there. All of the staff were very friendly and took care of me right away. I started with flight that included a white, rosé, and red option. I actually enjoyed all three but decided to stick with the white Frontenac Blanc for the evening . I also ordered the small baked fontina which was actually mind blowing, all of the flavors danced on my tastebuds with each bite. The bubbly warm cheese and touch of honey with rosemary is rhetorical best combination ever created. When my sister arrived she ordered a wine cocktail aka a margarita and cheeseburger w/rosemary fries.The cocktail was handcrafted by Cody who really knew his mixology because the cocktail was very close to a margarita. I had a few bites of the cheeseburger and it was warm, juicy and full of flavor. And to our surprise it was a double decker, the truffle mayo was an extra special treat for the already hot, fresh and very tasty rosemary French fries. The seating areas around the restaurant offer a different vibe for anyone who visits there are some semi private couch areas, larger booths, high tops, table seating and cozy chairs. The entire restaurant has barrels all around that have wine in them waiting to be bottled and shared. I loved Axebridge so much I had to share them with my friends so we returned for trivia night on Wednesday and played "Trivia Mafia" in the champagne room. We arrived a little before 6 and had to chance to partake in a few happy hour options before starting the game. The trivia was fun, challenging and something different to do for a mid week option. I will definitely be back with family and friends when I come back home and recommend Axebridge to anyone visiting Minneapolis!

Wine slush and water on a hot day!!
Joanne E.

We had such a lovely first experience at AxeBridge! Great atmosphere, a really comfortable vibe while still being chic. Our wine slush was delicious on such a hot day! And our food was delicious! We can't wait to come back for that cheese board again!

Axebridge is my favorite place to go in the North Loop! They have great wines and food, the service is always good, and the overall ambiance is so much fun! We went to their happy hour - $5 glasses of wine, wine shots, and appetizers. We had the spinach dip and the cheese curds with rosemary honey. Would highly recommend the cheese curds although the spinach dip was not my favorite. It is hard to go wrong with any of their wines though. Definitely will be back!

The girls and I spent a Sunday afternoon doing a Wine Tasting at AxeBridge! We were celebrating a birthday and Jonathon took wonderful care of us. There was a DJ playing, which felt like a strange vibe for a Sunday afternoon, but we had a great time commiserating with Jonathon about how loud it was. You step downstairs to enter the tasting room and it is incredibly beautiful. Set in the heart of the warehouse district, they have used and enhanced all of the rustic charms to create a really interesting and calming vibe. There is a bar in the middle with tables and a few lounge areas surrounding it. There is also a glass-walled Champagne Room if you are looking for some more privacy. We had the Signature Tasting Experience, where we enjoyed 5 1 oz pours (but Jonathon was plenty generous with us). We had a whole menu to pick from, and they recommend you go from the lightest to the heaviest, so we (mostly) stuck to that! My absolute favorite was the Bumbley, their honey wine that they mix with a fruit infusion. I also enjoyed the Sparkling Rose, Riesling, and Timber Rose! (as you can tell, I prefer a sweet wine :) ) As a little bonus, Jonathon did a Porron off the bar for us! They stood on the bar and poured the wine directly into our mouths with the special Porron pitcher. This is usually a Friday and Saturday night thing, so you just have to ask for it if you want this fun experience! They have a lot of variety of wines and how many you can try in a sitting so I look forward to going back and continuing to try! I have also taken a trip out to their sister winery, Schram Vineyards, which was so beautiful and worth the drive out to Waconia. We had brunch before our tasting, so we didn't get any food but they have a decent menu of brunch and appetizers. Your server will take your order but once your food is ready, there is a counter outside the kitchen where you pick it up. There were also a few groups that had small leashed dogs with them which was fun!

Great wines, fun frose's/frozen wines, lots of space to hangout with friends indoors and out, friendly faces and surprisingly good food! Axebridge is such a vibe- dark and moody inside with wine barrels, patio with tables outside- it's the perfect gathering spot. They also have a wine club membership with pretty good perks if you are a frequent goer. I've never had a bad time here. Definitely get the meatballs and shishitos to snack on!

Stephanie A.

Such a cutie cozy space!!! Will be back for sure. It's very industrial feeling, like a modern, spacious speakeasy, and as a bonus they have really fun decorations for the holidays. Great for a date, girls night, or hanging out with friends! The wine I tried was not my favorite, but I went out on a limb to try something new and I should have stuck to what I know I like. Putting this on my new list of faves!

Sarah B.

The perfect north loop vibe, ambiance, and addition to the neighborhood. This place will thrive off of the crowd in this area alone. It's beautiful inside!! The staff is super friendly as well. The wine was better then I expected, usually I try MN made wines and I can't even choke them down but the mill city red was easily my favorite of the flight I got. The flatbread was GF as well, it was good - very salty though, not sure what that was about?! Everything is a little overpriced for my liking but for their location and vibe, they're able to do that in NOLO. Happy their open, long awaited. Good little spot to pop in at here and there but won't be a priority for me or a regular!

Wine flight
Christina K.

This place is adorable! Barrels of wine turned into tables, rustic wood and fireplace. A Porsche parked in the middle. Staff is very friendly. My sister and I ordered wine flights and a charcuterie board. The wines were clearly labeled and explained and so we then decided to get a glass of our favorite/ another wine to try. Ace bridge offers a decent selection and offers a club program to unlock access to exclusive wines and more. If you order food, they hand you a buzzer and you pick it up at a designated area once buzzed. Wines are readily available at the bar. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend for a date night, happy hour, girls night, or whatever :)

Genesis M.

It's a very cute place and great to have friends over or any small gathering. I was able to try their slushy and that was tasty! I was a bit let down by the cheeseboard as I figured wine and cheese are the best pairing so the cheese board would be up to par with the wine and was just not really impressed with it. Over all service was great and they have a deck in the back for more seating so that's always welcomed!

Emily H.

This winery is a perfect stop for any wine lover or amateur wine fan. The space is huge and super cute! They have a decent happy hour menu which I love to enjoy out on their patio. Probably one of the biggest patios in north loop. I loved it so much I joined their wine club which gets me free tastings and a percentage off their products! Perfect for work HH, girls outing, date night.

Rustic Roots Winery is such a hidden gem just outside the Twin Cities and absolutely worth the day…read moretrip! The vineyard landscape is BEAUTIFUL and makes for the perfect relaxing night or afternoon. The refreshing white wine pictured was delicious and perfect for a warm day outside. The flatbread was exactly what you'd expect for a light winery snack, but super reasonably priced which I appreciate! Definitely bring a DD so you can take advantage of their awesome bottle pricing instead of just ordering by the glass! Their social media is also worth checking out because they host so many fun events like yoga, concerts, private events, and more. Such a peaceful atmosphere with great vibes all around. Can't wait to come back!

When you arrive, there is ample parking up the winding road, and the slight elevation provides a great vantage to look out at the surrounding hills. There are several spots to sip wine, both inside and outside. There is capacity for large events with many-sectioned outdoor bar and an entire tent in the back. MN wine is no my favorite in general, but I really enjoyed the wine slushies on a hot day. Worth visiting to drink and eat and enjoy the scenery!! PS. I also witnessed a guest have a medical episode, and the staff were extremely attentive and caring in making sure the individual was recovering.

We came in a Friday night, excited to try a new place that seemed to have a good menu. I wish we would have read some food reviews first. We asked to order an app and have our food come out later. We got the pretzel bites which seemed like something bought at Costco and warmed up. After those were set down our food came out about 2 minutes later. My wife got the pizza and I've never seen her not enjoy a wood fire pizza. I got the gnocchi which had a hard crust and seemed VERY overdone. I sat at the table googling if gnocchi should taste like that, maybe I'm the wrong one for thinking that it's always supposed to be really soft. Either way, I couldn't eat it. It was hard as a rock. Our server came and checked on us once saying "I'm just awkwardly checking on you" which wasn't really a check in? The next time she came all she said was "are you getting full?" never giving the opportunity to ask how things were, offer another glass of wine, or give us a chance to ask questions. When she asked if I wanted a box for my meal I declined--as someone who worked as a server for 10 years you should realize when someone only takes one bite of a dish and ask them if everything was ok. She never did. We were super disappointed to say the least.

We tried a few different flights of wine and flat breads and enjoyed the beautiful view of the vineyard. The place is truly breathtaking, and at the time, they had live music playing outside. Jenna made some very good recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. ::Caution:: I still gave this place 5 stars because this has nothing to do with the service or the quality of the food or location, but we were picturing a nice, calm brunch, sipping on wine, not a Chuck E Cheese experience. Apparently, we were upgraded to the deluxe Chuck E Cheese package and were seated around lots of parents who decided to bring their young kids to a vineyard. The kids were running wild around tables and crying and screaming. Not one parent corrected their kids' behavior and just let them run around like free-range chickens. There were also people complaining that there were no non alcoholic drinks that they wanted at a vineyard. When I went inside there seemed to be no kids indoors. While another group could not control their kids and kept knocking things off the table, including glasses of wine. No one seemed to mind outdoors because most of the people had young kids, so be warned that this may be a possibility, so research your days before you go. Overall, if you remove the kids running wild and crying, the service was fantastic, the wine was good, lots of parking, the ambiance was incredible, and the food was good.
