Always in search of a nice speakeasy experience, we came across Anoka Hardware Store while in…read moreMinneapolis before heading off to visit friends. It was a bit of a trek through rush-hour traffic from our hotel but so completely worth the trip. Discretely located through a door marked only by a red light above it we were warmly greeted by gentleman behind the hardware counter. We were prepared to answer with the password to let us in but for some reason it wasn't asked. No big deal. You are then sent through a door into the beautifully dimly-lit space of the speakeasy. There is plenty of seating, with small tables and some booths. We were shown to our table and greeted by one of the great, friendly hostesses. Drinks are ordered directly at the bar with one of the attendants. You immediately pay for your order which will then be brought to your table. Different but really a nice idea. The music was also nicely unique, with a mix of oldies from the 50's and 60's. An old black and white James Cagney movie played silently on one wall. In terms of the cocktails I have to say these are some of the most delicious and finely crafted drinks I've enjoyed. I began with the Start Your Engine, a delicious gin-based drink. My wife had an absolutely fantastic smoked Old Fashioned, smoked in a large box for a minute or two. Wow! Probably the best we've ever tasted. My second drink was another gin cocktail, the Last Word, which I'd been wanting to try for some time. A fine gin supported by green Chartreuse and lime, this was simply sublime. Highly recommended. The bar and menu is quite varied and extensive, so you're sure to find something to your liking. The space has a great vibe and mellow ambiance. Sufficiently dark, cozy and very nicely and eclectically decorated. Service was outstanding and informative. Reservations are recommended. Like many such places you are "limited" to 90-minute timeframes, which sometimes seems like not enough but ultimately works quite well. The quality of the cocktails, space and service all make for a really enjoyable time. Well worth many visits.

I will say the few staff we asked for help did generally help by pointing in the direction the item would be in but I felt like none of them were so busy that they couldn't walk us to the area (as they couldn't tell use an exact aisle). We did eventually find everything we were looking for. I generally just like browsing around. I found some bublr flavors I haven't seen other places. It sounded like someone was playing the piano upstairs but maybe it was just a radio, the escalator to go up was out of service so the elevator was a bit busy and not worth exploring upstairs. Overall not too many complaints!

Even a red cedar 4x4x10' will be $20 less than what you'll get at Menards or Home Depot. And that is just on one piece of wood. Plus, it feels like they take care of their employees as I see some of the same people and this is from shopping here multiple years.

Can someone explain to me how can we pick it up ourselves if the order is too big for them to deliver it? PLEASE? 3/11 My husband calls, they say " Oh let just wait until it gets here - NO communication- whatsoever 3/13, My husband decides to stop into the store to speak with someone.

WTH .. What kind of crap is this. He wanted to speak to a manage right away and was told "OH they are all in a meeting" they will call him BACK ! it has been a WEEK and NO ONE has called us BACK. We are done being nice! SERIOUSLY Please give us our money back! stop stealing PEOPLE MONEY, stop taking advantage of PEOPLE!!! I just want to say, First and foremost my husband and I have been nothing but nice about everything, We have been patient and HOME DEPOT's management TEAM have been nothing but Disrespectful and liars. You know maybe, if the MANAGER LINDA LEE, spent less time complaining about her worker to my husband she would have maybe did his order correctly and we would not be in this situation.. So unprofessional for her to tell him how stupid and incompetent the other 2 worker were that didn't help him correctly. WELL, LINDA you also did not help us properly and now we have lost $3800 dollars and HOME DEPOT won't call us BACK.. All I have to say is you guys need to make this RIGHT........ This is not what you do to your customers!!!! FIX THIS! We are at a point were we need help, If anyone knows how we can legally get the help we deserve please let us know. This is not fair at ALL!!!! We deserve a refund, we did everything right but HOME DEOPT DID NOT, if you can fullfill your contracts then you need to give people back their refund
