    Everything about this place is amazing. I love the ambience, the friendly staff, the food (is so high-quality and well thought out), the music, the fresh floral arrangements, the wine selection. There is not enough nice things to say about this place honestly. I've been here multiple times, and have been hooked ever since my first time. It would be perfect for a date night, girls hang, catch up with friends, or even a celebration. We didn't know much about the wine they had on their wine list, but their owners gave us a wonderful description and suggested amazing bottles to partake in. My only critique is that I wish I could drink more bottles of wine in a setting ha ha. Make sure you go here if you're looking for a wonderful wine bar.

    Small Hours is officially my new favorite wine bar in Minneapolis! The vibe was perfect with cozy tables, natural light, and vinyl music. We were lucky enough to be there during golden hour which added to the overall aesthetic. It was the perfect mix of mellow yet romantic in the best way. The owner was lovely, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful when assisting us in choosing the bottle of wine that fit our taste. Make sure to try this spot for your next happy hour or date night! I will be returning for sure :)

    So much to like here with a few downsides. What I loved: 1. The concept. No one else is doing great tinned fish selections. This can hang with the best of Portugal, Spain, and Denmark. Simply served but some great quality abounds. Don't miss the Smoked Coho or the Fangst offerings from Copenhagen. 2. Boutique wine offerings from lesser known bio-sensitive producers and hidden worldwide regions. Even if you are a wine know-it-all, there are some interesting selections here to pique your interest. 3. That feel of a true neighborhood gem. This could easily be a small storefront in a European local neighborhood. It was unique for MN but feels so correct for the community. Why have we not seen something like this sooner? What I was less fond of: 1. It is a bit too cozy. The interior space is small and the perimeter seating is tight. While it could be great if you were looking for a date night spot forcing you to be up-close and personal with your party, it felt like everyone was jammed in like tinned sardines (pun intended). This would be a terrible spot to try to bring a larger group to and would be uncomfortable for those that may not know each other well. 2. The price point is pretty high. While there is good quality here, it is still tinned fish and lesser known biodynamic wine producers. I have been blessed to travel a lot and have had some of the exact same wines and tins in Europe. The markup here for these things approaches 150%. This is not exactly unheard of in many restaurants but keep in mind that this is kind of a semi-self serve spot where you have to go to the counter to place orders and pay your tab so it is not a full service restaurant. They also add in an auto service charge/gratuity so the markups are steep. 3. They were out of several things that we ordered. I am used to places running out of things towards the end of night because the fresh product that they have is gone. They only bring in so much fresh stuff daily. That is not what happened here. They were out of specific bottled wines and tinned fish products...these are things that hold for long periods of time on a shelf so running out of those suggests their inventory is too small for their demand. That needs to be corrected for a place that is primarily serving bottled wines and preserved fish. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely because I want to support creative operations like this and I do like the concept and the offerings. But it will be largely for a date night scenario when I am not starving and the markups will prevent it from being in any kind of a regular rotation for me.

    Small Hours is a small place with a small menu. But the food is delicious - the pork belly was a standout. Modern vibe with vinyl albums playing in the background. The menu is quite limited, but they have an extensive wine list. Order at counter and yet they add themselves a tip. Tin fish?

The server…read moretook the time to explain the menu, suggest an appropriate amount of dishes for 2 people (she said 4-5 depending on how hungry we were) and every single dish we picked was a banger. Sharing the dishes we got in order of my personal favorite: Hmong Cucumbers: sesame ginger vinaigrette, sesame seeds, fried shallot, garlic Fried Cauliflower: chili lime, hidden valley ranch dressing, herbs Curry Rice Ball: garlic cream cheese, blue crab New York Strip: grass fed beef, chili oil I opted for an N/A cocktail which was the Cucumber Cooler and I HIGHLY recommend it (or it's 21 yr old sister the "Cool as a Cucumber"). As a size 18 with hips, I was also very pleased that they actually give space between the tables so I wasn't sitting on the neighboring diner's lap trying to get in and out of my seat

It was fun to feel like part of the action watching the bartenders make cocktails and seeing the food come fresh from the kitchen. We ordered a few things to split between us: Curry Rice Balls (3 orders of 1), Roasted Eggplant with purple sticky rice, and Fried Cauliflower. This was the BEST fried cauliflower I've ever had - you've got to try it. The purple sticky rice and eggplant was also yummy. Now that I've written this review, I'm craving the food. Definitely coming back again!! As I'm writing this review

Drinks range from wine to bear to alcohol from Black brands. Service: Customer service was always been top notch from the bartenders and owner was so helpful in providing overview of the game, local culture/clubs, MN having the most golf courses which shocked the hell out of us. He have us basic lessons, advice on clubs for women and beginners, stance, what par meant, and hand positioning. Overall personable guy and went out his way to ensure we were good and had some background about golf and MN golf culture. Very genuine. Let the record reflect that I'm not saying that because he's from Chicago (the best city to Eva do it ) ijs Price: Very reasonably priced with options to golf for 30 mins increments. We paid 80 for 1.5 hours which was just enough time. I'm not sure about the food so I've included a menu. I didnt order anything personally this time around. Ambiance: It was an overall great experience for my 2nd time around. Last Summer that had a mixed with a DJ and it was a great turn out. Intergenerational crowd with lots of photo worthy spaces and seating areas. Very comfortable high top tables and lounge area with open space to mingle. They have great artwork, open spaces yet felt inviting for times when networking is appropriate. It would be great for corporate events or mixers. Great lightening, private party spaces and the bar area is nice. I'm glad I remained open to trying it out again after delcaring "golf wasn't my ministry" I just needed a lil more education and hands on basics. I look forward to what's in store for Par365 10/10 would recommend!

I will definitely be back.

I went with the Mexico City cocktail that has a smoky yet fruity taste to it alongside a black salt rim. Delish. Then I had a mini gin martini which was the perfect size to try it out (on the happy hr menu). We'll be definitely back in the future to dine in. Their brunch menu looks great and their patio overlooking the city - can't beat those views! Remy and Brady were our awesome bartenders who were friendly and helpful with suggestions.

It was a beautiful 70 degree Wednesday in the spring so I HAD to find a patio to soak it up before second winter. We tried another spot nearby that didn't have their patio open yet, so we made our way here to see if we could get lucky. We were put on the waitlist, and walked across the street to take in the view. About 20 minutes later, I received a text that our table was ready. We must've gotten there just in time because they started turning people away or telling them there was over an hour wait. They were understaffed that day. We placed our drink orders, an Amber Beer and the Mexico City Cocktail. Before the drinks arrived, the waiter came over with two sangrias and said, "I know you didn't order these, but do you want them anyway?" I said absolutely they won't go to waste! The sangrias were light and refreshing, and the Mexico City cocktail was extremely balanced and delicious - not overly sweet with a yummy black salt rim. For our mains, we decided on the Wild Mushroom Fettuccine and the Cubano. I am not joking when I say we both said OMG after our first bite at the same time! Both of these dishes were packed with flavor. This might be one of the top two Cubans I've ever had. Highly seasoned. As for the fettuccine, it was extremely umami and my partner finished it in under 10 minutes. I would absolutely give this place a try whether you're taking a sunny walk around the area or want a fancier dinner date. We parked a few blocks away on the street and paid.
