All were great. In addition they let us try a few additional cocktails. Gina, one of the owners, shared recipes and talked about the place. Her energy alone is worth the trip down there! If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend getting a couple of drinks there.

They do close in the early side (7:30), but had some of the best bourbon and ryes I've had in the Minneapolis area. The owners were there and gave us some samples and insight on the distillery.

My friends and I did a distillery tour and found ourselves at this establishment. It was a rainy…read moreday, so we were eager to seek shelter inside. Upon walking in, we were amazed at what this venue had to offer! You couldn't tell necessarily from the outside, but this place was huge. Lots of areas for you to take a seat and converse with patrons. You could sit at the bar; they had plenty of table-top seating and at least 2 areas with comfortable couches for a more intimate experience. We chatted up with the bartender, asking for suggestions, and I ended up going with a That Raspberry One and a Barrel Aged Gin Old Fashioned. Both tasted absolutely fantastic and were appropriately priced. Additionally, I had left an important card at the distillery, so I called them to make sure it was there. They said it was and were happy to mail it back to me. That's incredible customer service! I definitely will be back again.

It is a huge space with all sorts of seating inside and out. They also have foosball and a shuffle board which are always nice. The drinks we had were also quite tasty. We tried the Bourbon Paloma, Cry Baby Bloody Mary, and Old Fashioned. All of them were quite tasty. The Old Fashioned was my favorite. The bourbon Paloma was also quite tasty. I think one thing that might make the drinks better would be some higher quality mixers.

Since I don't drink alcohol, I opted for one of their zero-proof cocktails, the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni. It had a subtle hint of pineapple, but the drink itself was a bit too strong for my taste. We also tried their new Irish Spice Bag, but unfortunately it wasn't a favorite. The dish was a little bland, and the curry sauce could have used more seasoning. Overall, this place just wasn't the right fit for my personal tastes, but I can definitely see it appealing to those who appreciate sophisticated cocktails and an upscale, stylish atmosphere.

I hadn't been since they moved to the new location and have definitely been missing out. We were…read morethere right at open during the farmers market and there was an initial rush that died down after 15 or so minutes. The bartender was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the products; answering some questions I had about proofing. It's in a great spot downtown right next to the farmers market with plenty of street parking. There are a few sidewalk tables but a nice open space inside. The inside doesn't allow dogs, however, due to their kitchen. Speaking of... The pizza was pretty good! I feel the most important part of any pizza is the crust and that was the best bit of theirs. The fresh ground flour adds a ton of flavor and they got a decent char on the bottom and rim. The prices weren't terrible and 1 pizza with some booze fed both of us. My only gripe is that they go heavy on the cheese so the (excellent) crust can't hold up to the weight and wetness. That's made a bit worse by they fact that they use a high-moisture mozzarella so there's a lot of grease that can soup the whole deal up. All in all they make fantastic spirits, service is great, and now have good pizza at a decent price. I think this may be my go to spot for meeting friends when I'm in Northfield.

This is a very interesting spot to visit. We were hungry for pizza and chose Loon Liquors as it was…read morethe closest to us. We are glad we did as the pizza is fantastic Neapolitan style pizza with high quality toppings on delicious dough. We loved "white" sausage pie and the pepperoni honey pies, both perfect versions of these classic pizzas. The bonus was the in-house liquor! We bought several bottles of gin and vodka that we look forward to sharing with friends! The team at Loon are eager to please and do nice and helpful. We can't wait to visit again!

Surprisingly the Dubai Chocolate drink was my favorite. My mom ordered a few snacks & enjoyed them especially the Japanese snack mix. I'd definitely like to come back.

It's a "Through the Looking Glass," experience. It's like imbibing in your wealthy uncle's basement bar. Known for its aperitifs, Dampfwerk requires navigation. Izzy and Wyatt were our navigators and bartenders. They were great. Everything we tasted was refined, delicious and special. Dampfwerk would be unique anywhere in the world. This is a place to surprise friends and guests from out of town. By the time I arrived at Dampfwerk, I was already tipsy from spending time at another distillery. (My spouse does the driving, thankfully.) Thus, I can't remember what I drank, but I know I had a great time.

The space is big and they have live music on the weekends. We sat at the bar and grabbed a Mexican old fashioned and a Shut up and Take my money. Both were delicious! Not overpowering and nicely blended. I grabbed a tequila honey bee as well which was nice but not as good as the first two drinks. We also tried their Thai chili pepper vodka in a one night in Bangkok. I was worried it would be too spicy based on some other spicy liquors I've tried but it was the perfect amount of heat and blended nicely in the drink. It would make an excellent Bloody Mary! Service was top notch. You order in a QR code but we sat at the bar and had fun talking with Lauren and Christine. They were so helpful and outgoing and it was a nice way to end the night. We waked away wondering when we could make a return and bring friends! So glad we decided to stop.

It seemed that there was not enough staff with only two servers covering the floor and that resulted in some pretty long waits before we could put our order in or get the check etc. It did gar a fun vibe where people could hang out, grab a bite and a chill drink. The menu does appear to change out every week which was confusing and also meant that the menu we found in their website was different so some plans had to change. If you are looking for something specific or having a tight agenda may not be the place for you but if you are okay to just hang out and go with whatever is in front of you then no issue!

Copperwing is a working distillery, and the bar is not embellished to whisk you away from that environment. I like that. Copperwing has a place of its own amongst the thousands of drinking holes in the Twin Cities. You're imbibing in a distillery, but at a bar with a mixology and a bites menu. The cocktail list is interesting, and what I drank was delicious. I also drank shots of some of the different booze Copperwing produced. (It was a lot of liquor. The next two days were rough, and stupidly, we went to another distillery afterwards. I will never learn, and I'm 75 years old.) Liquor is like wine. We all have different tastes and palates. I liked one of Copperwing's vodkas, but not the other. Several of their offerings have won national awards. That's something everyone in Minneapolis can be proud of. Jack was our bartender, and he was gracious and accommodating. I will return to Copperwing Distillery soon, but will drink with more wisdom, sticking to one kind of booze and will drink lots of water.
