Enjoyed the wine flight options and the tasting experience and info about wine. Feels clean, bright, and new, and the bathroom is nice. There's a room in back they activate for events. There was a small vendor sale in there. They also have cute merch, jewelry, and goods for sale. They're on the higher price end. They offer free coffee from the Nespresso machine which is a nice touch. They have their own wine shop next door that is kind of expensive. Buying a bottle in the winery and corking it to go is a more affordable option if you plan to drink it right away.

Whether you know wine well or just want a fun glass with friends, it feels welcoming and not intimidating. Their wine list is super curated with some really fun options and I love that you can do "fights" (flights) of most of the by the glass options. I especially love their boards, some of the best presented charcuterie style boards I have seen. They pair so well with the wine and are perfect for sharing. The space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed with lots of little seating areas that make it feel intimate but still social. Service is great too. Friendly, helpful, and always willing to give recommendations.

A long table, plush bench seating with small tables, high top tables, comfy chairs with tables, and a bar area make up the varied seating options. There was a piano player that was excellent, played lots of songs we knew and some beautiful tunes we hadn't heard before. Not too loud or too soft. The sound was very good, considering this is a long narrow building with hard surfaces. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly, smiling, efficient. We ordered a veggie and hummus platter and a charcuterie plate with our wine. Both were okay, about what you'd expect. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. We will definitely come back again, the place was hopping and it's really fun to have a new wine bar in downtown Owatonna!

The rotating menu was always the best part -- new wines, seasonal snacks, and just enough change to keep things interesting without ruining what works. Every visit felt like a little surprise, but never in a "what happened to my favorite thing?" kind of way. The cozy vibe was unbeatable. Dim lights, warm atmosphere, and live entertainment that somehow made me feel like I was in a movie scene about a person who has their life together. (Spoiler: I do not. But I felt like I did when I was here.) I genuinely hope it survived COVID, staffing shortages, economy chaos, and whatever plot twists 2020-present through at local businesses. Please still be the same. Please still have the vibe. Please still have the best wines I never thought to try. If I ever come back to town, I'm heading straight there -- no questions asked. Five stars forever. Try them out if you're in uptown!

We had heard about Prohibition before, and given its historical significance in the Foshay Tower,…read morewe had to check it out! Located inside the Foshay Tower, there's street and valet parking available! We entered through the W hotel lobby and took the elevator up to the 27th floor! We were met by a fun, retro-inspired lounge with many couches and tables available in a 360-degree set up. It has Prohibition-themed decor, but I wouldn't quite call it a speakeasy, as there wasn't any guise to entering or accessing the space. My only critique is that the space is quite dated, but not in a cool way. It could really use an update to the paint and interior to maintain itself as a "destination" versus just another hotel bar with a view. The bartenders were quite friendly and helpful during our visit. We had an Old Fashioned and a Paper Plane during our visit! Both cocktails were absolutely delicious and perfectly made. Now, at around $26 each, I would expect that level. Overall, a cool, historical spot to grab a drink!
