    [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a fun experience at a super cool speakeasy, you need to visit this place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were out to celebrate our friend's birthday and decided to go check it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You enter through a red door and buzz for the "postmaster". Once you give the password, you enter another room and it's like you've stepped into the 1920's era - so cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers were so attentive, fun and dressed in '20's attire. The cocktails were delightful and the appetizers flavorful and tasty! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was live entertainment that night and it was a performance by Gary LaRue. He was spectacular! Such a great entertainer and wonderful singer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We met the co-owner and she was great! I can't say enough about this place! We loved it and will definitely be back!

    Took my family out to check out some speakeasy bars and we made it in time for this place. We walked down the steps and looked at one of the mailbox for the secret password. The owner is really nice, he gave is a tour and history. Then lead us to the bar towards the back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is like 1920 era, secret bar behind a post office.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The kitchen was already closed, so we ordered cocktail. The bar tender gave us a sample of the different cognac she had on the shelf to see which one was good. We liked the one bottle on the left, however it was an expensive shot.

    Thank You for a delicious and entertaining evening of drinks & appetizers, we loved our (1st) visit and looking forward to our next visit with flappers in tow!! Our Bartender, Katie, welcomed us back in time to an era of the '20's! Great ambience, we didn't want to leave! #katie #smoker

    Oh I love this place! We've a few times and the food has been great and so was the service. We love the vibe downstairs! So cool the music and drinks are amazing! Definitely one of my favorites in Anoka

    Shhhhh...it's a hidden speakeasy hidden practically across the street from the Anoka County Government Center! Actually it's downstairs in the old Anoka Post Office! First you find the entrance, then knock at the door. The gentleman guarding the door will help you find the "password" to get in. It's like going back to 1920's Prohibition Era! Our friendly door guide showed us around! I can't wait to find some flapper clothes & come here and try their appetizers with a Bees Knees cocktail!

    First time there- we wanted to go there before we move farther away next month. Very cool space, knowledgable bartender and delicious craft cocktails.

    This place is awesome. The food is so delicious. New menu, new chef, new decor, but the bartender, David, is STILL HERE thank GOD. Full menu available at Nucky's on Wednesday nights. Get the maple bacon old fashioned.

    Delicious guava beverage.

    My husband and I came here for his birthday, and then we did dinner after. It is a fun bar in the basement of the old post office with the prohibition era vibe. You enter through a back door disguised as a post office. You need to know the secret code to get in! I found it on their Facebook page. One of the partners answered and showed us around and explained the history of Nucky to us. There is a full bar with lots of delicious drinks. All along the walls were pictures from that time period. It was fun. Dress was business casual but some guests were in flapper dresses, which makes it even more fun! If I lived closer I'd definitely go back more. On the main level of the old post office was a restaurant, Club 300, which we went to after.

    Delicious drinks and awesome atmosphere! Had a great time.

    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.

The wait at the table was longer than we anticipated but luckily for us, there were some bar seats available. The bartender at the moment was Cameron. He gave us the rundown on the food and drinks and made several recommendations. We started off the evening with the Don Corlone. It was very tasty and also an Andorran Martini. Both drinks were delightful and were semi-sweet but not too sweet. The mixture of the Don Corlione had a perfect blend of citrus and sweetness. We then ordered the pastry puff poppers and they were amazing. The sauce complemented the pastry puffs and the filling left you wanting more. To finish the night we ordered tiramisu, cheesecake, and some bubbles. Thank you Cameron for the amazing service and experience we hope to be back again soon.

Relatively easy to find, though you do have to hunt a little bit, Flora Room sits behind a nondescript metal door leading down a short hallway to the entrance. Take a long moment to allow your eyes to adjust if you're coming before sunset; this space is DARK. It's also perfect. Once your "night vision" kicks in you're surrounded by a nice bar, numerous bistro-style tables and booths. Candles adorn the tables creating a nice, cozy place to settle in for drinks. Once seated in comfortable chairs at a table, we were quickly greeted and provided with menus. The cocktail selection is relatively "small" but really nicely varied. Prices seemed a tad steep but frankly, given the quality of the drinks I'd say quite worth it. I started out with the Evita, a nice flavorful gin-base cocktail topped with a nice egg white foam. Very tasty. My wife opted for the Tapaculo, with gin, mezcal, pineapple, banana and bitters over ice. Also quite good. There are also bites available from the associated restaurant I can't recall the name of mine but I can say it was delicious. Bread-like bites with a really tasty dipping sauce. To close out the visit I selected Palo, a smoked aged rum cocktail that was really nice and rich. My wife chose the Nahualito with rum, walnut, amontillado and white chocolate. All should be on your radar. Flora Room really fit the bill for a nice, intimate speakeasy-style spot to spend time. Dark and cozy. Savory cocktails and friendly service will stand out and make you want to return. I know we'll seek it out if we return to Minneapolis again. I hope so.

We had no idea where to go, but heard to go down an alleyway behind up-down and then saw a random door that we had no idea was the entrance until another group came over! We knocked and they slid the door hole open to speak, it was so fun! Felt like a real speakeasy. Once we were in, we were seated in the back. There was an hour and 1/2 limit, but that was plenty of time for us to have a drink. I ordered the Me Espresso and my husband ordered the special of the day, which was a scotch with a special twist. Both were delicious! Definitely a little pricier, but the atmosphere made up for the cost. Overall I would definitely recommend! Next time we may wait for a booth to be served out of a window in the wall, did not know about that until we got there! Such a fun touch.

Luckily I had a reservation, or the guy behind the door acted like I wasn't getting in. I got a spot at the dimly lit bar right as the 1st set was starting. The band was fun; a 4 piece with Trombone lead. They were playing some jazz standards which was good for this crowd. The bartender was great. She made a couple unique drinks, including one off the menu called airmail, which was a version of a French 75. It was a great night all around, and I hope to make it back again while I'm in town.

We went back today and while it was still good, definitely wasn't as good as it was last time. The jerk chicken plate removed the beans, changed the rice, and got rid of the sauce so it wasn't as good though it was a bit less dry than last time. They also removed the Ropa Vieja from the menu which was our favorite. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and was not impressed. The fries with it were good. The drinks were still great. Service was friendly but slow (drinks, food, and waitress all slow). Another in our party got the blackened salmon which was really good. Unfortunately, I was so nervous they would remove or change the menu to be worse, which is a common theme I've noticed with 4 different restaurants by these owners now, so I was so bummed to see that's exactly what happened. Such a cool vibe, great drinks, and a really cool new patio - but the food needs a bit of work - bring back the Ropa Vieja and the better jerk chicken!

I entered through the west side of the building that noted Lucky's, fear not, when I entered and told the host I was looking for the Mudd Room she gave me precise directions to get downstairs! Once downstairs I came upon the nice single toilet ladies room. I proceeded in to the bar, asked the blonde bartender where the music would be? She pointed to the stage @ the end of the bar and said it could be loud right by the speaker so she'd recommend sitting a few tables away. She said the parties near the stage were tabbing out if I wanted to sit there? I said I would take a seat @ the end until they were through. Shortly after I sat down the very friendly brunette server brought me a glass of ice water... thanks! She remained attentive all night, filling my water three times. Despite not looking over the menu she was very thoughtful when she popped by just to say it was last call for the kitchen, did I want anything? I meant to get the gals names, I did not, sorry. Music wasn't too loud; the acoustics and lighting were great since the speakeasy is already dimly lit. I don't anticipate this was my last visit; very much looking forward to catching another gig here or meeting friends for drinks! The friendly and attentive service are my number one fast and hard rule for a venue... no matter how good or bad the drinks or food are.... they 90% determine if I will return. These two knocked it out of the park... thank you for such a welcoming and attentive inaugural visit, cheers!
