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.

Copperwing Distillery is a fantastic place to visit. Its obscure location in a St. Louis Park…read morewarehouse neighborhood adds to its allure. 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.

The ambiance was so nice, no one being too loud, no music so loud the table could hear and talk with one another. As for the food, I can't find enough words to explain how GREAT everything was.

The cheeses used complemented each other and the lobster perfectly! Even the bread served alongside was just right. Burgers, fries chicken sandwiches were excellent!! This is my favorite restaurant!!

The food leans more beer-forward pub cuisine than whiskey-focused dining, which is worth knowing going in. I had the short-rib ravioli: if you like meat and cheese, you'll probably be happy. The mushroom flavor was the standout for me. It also arrived with a breadstick that had a distinctly Fazoli's-esque vibe. I did not dare eat it. Overall, I'd dine here again. It checks the boxes for a decent, reliable meal with friends, especially if you can take advantage of the patio.

Wow. Spectacularly awful. If you like cold (and I mean COLD)…read morefood and pretentiousness this is the place for you. Now I will say the Tomato toast and the cherry sour drink was good. However, it started going downhill when a dish was brought out by a runner before any of the other dishes and was set on our table without silverware. She left without bringing silverware and it would be a full 5 minutes before our server was able to be flagged down to get us silverware. We noted that this dish needed to be refired and brought out with the remaining dishes. After 15 minutes more the rest if the meal came out, and you guessed it, the original "needs to be refired" dish came out 5 minutes later. My wife's pasta was cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. Think I just opened a can of chef boyardee's and poured on a plate cold. It was disgusting. Oh and the "refired spaghetti" (buttered noodles) was also cold. The chicken parm (which their version is deep fried chicken) was warm but unseasoned and the breading was oil sogged because the frying oil was clearly not hot enough. This place gets 1 star. My favorite part was when the runner was doing her makeup in a mirror behind the hostess stand in the middle of the dining room. At a price of $183 for two for pasta this place needs to rethink their workers, their menu, and how they are going to keep attracting people. Shut down for three weeks and learn how to run your restaurant! That the Strib gave these guys a glowing review is beyond me. Very emperor's new clothes.

The service made an already great dinner even better. Everything we ordered was delicious. The cacio e pepe ravioli was rich and perfectly done, the ribeye was cooked beautifully and the potato churros and chimichurri that came with it were incredible. The pork chop was another standout, and the grilled watermelon salad was such a unique combination of flavors and a perfect way to start the meal. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that we wouldn't get again. Great atmosphere, great service, and seriously amazing food. Martina is absolutely worth a visit if you're in Minneapolis. We'll definitely be back!

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.

We also split a charcuterie board, which had the perfect variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, and accompaniments to pair with the wines.

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.

The flatbread was a bit disappointing, but the other two were pretty good. The steak was cooked medium rare, as ordered, and had a very good flavor. The chicken was tender and juicy and had a nice sauce.

We were seated and had a view of the pond or water. Our server, Bryn, brought us a few glasses of bubbles to start while we looked at the menu. Bryn gave us some good recommendations, and we went with the Redstone breakfast. Redstone is known for their ribs, so what else could I choose? I selected a full rack of ribs, and the meat fell right off the bone. They had the perfect blend of BBQ, smoke, and tanginess. The sauce was not runny and stuck to the ribs. I didn't even bother with the fries. The coleslaw was mediocre and was lacking in flavor, but the ribs were heavy. We had a few glasses of wine to quench our thirst and relaxed and had great conversations as we caught up. Bryn checked up on us and made sure we had all we needed and provided perfect service. The bathrooms and restaurant areas were clean, and there was tons of free parking in their lot.
