We sat inside in a cozy corner but will return for the patio with the fire pit. Nice selections of food and cocktails. Whisky focused obviously and the server offered some great recommendations including a seasonal whisky slushie that was just what I wanted. Non alcoholic choices were available as well. Prices are on par for the city and 2026. A great place to bring groups of 4-6 with most seating areas suited for that size. It's decorated so classy and almost in a sultry but modern way. The venue is huge and it can be used for other events as there was a wedding upstairs going when I was there. Definitely a place I will return too soon!

Since I don't drink alcohol, I opted for one of their zero-proof cocktails, the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni. It had a subtle hint of pineapple, but the drink itself was a bit too strong for my taste. We also tried their new Irish Spice Bag, but unfortunately it wasn't a favorite. The dish was a little bland, and the curry sauce could have used more seasoning. Overall, this place just wasn't the right fit for my personal tastes, but I can definitely see it appealing to those who appreciate sophisticated cocktails and an upscale, stylish atmosphere.

It's a really cozy moody interior, with *no big lights* aka great low lighting and comfy seating options. When we went, there were just a few other parties there so pretty quiet. I liked that we had a whole corner to ourselves with a sectional couch of sorts and some chairs. They close at 10pm on a Friday night, which felt absurdly early for a cocktail bar. But, we were able to order and drink one drink during the ~45 minutes we had. They closed up shop promptly at 10pm. They had a classics and a "rumors" section of the menu. I didn't think the signature drinks were overly unique, with classics like Paper Plane making that menu side. I had a pomegranate mojito which was good! Consensus was that the cocktails were good not exceptional, especially for the $16-17 price point. We ordered churros for the table which were a table favorite! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but we enjoyed our time and could see this being a good option if you lived in the neighborhood and don't mind the early close hours.

They have QR codes on each table so you can order on your phone, and they have WiFi available. Alternatively, someone can take your order if you'd prefer! For the burgers, you can choose between the impossible patty or the black bean patty. For the chicken sandwiches, you can choose grilled or fried vegan chicken. For beverages, they have cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer, THC drinks, milkshakes, pop, lemonade, and more! There are so many options which is great! The fries are crispy! One of my friends went with the ranch fries which were good, but in my opinion it was not worth the $2 upcharge for the amount of seasoning that comes on them. I would recommend sticking with the regular fries and ordering a side of ranch as a dipping sauce instead! This is the only place that I'm aware of where you can get a vegan juicy lucy! It is very cheesy, and it's fun that there's a meatless version of a MN classic! It was messy to eat though so make sure to have a napkin nearby! I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and would go back! I think it's be a great place for hanging out with friends, especially if there are any vegans or vegetarians in the group!

Though I highly recommend making a reservation for the chef's counter to enjoy your dinner with a show. The bar area had great music, service, and served the full menu plus a bar menu with pintxos (Spanish inspired small bites) Food: Sangria: delicious! Well balanced Shrimp: The fresh herbs really complimented the rich sauce. One downside was that the baguette was drowning in olive oil, and I felt it took away from the sauce. Radiatore Pasta: rich, herbaceous pasta beautifully coated in the glossy sauce, toasted almonds added a nice textural element, pasta well cooked, generous, shareable portion, got a pop of lemon zest (wished there was more) Honey cake: moist, sweet, honey flavor comes through great. Hazelnut praline is crunchy, salty, nutty, great pair with the sweet, crisp, melt in your mouth honeycomb. Very sweet, but not one note. Super rich and luscious Churro: felt heavy/greasy, though the bitter chocolate sauce covered it/complimented it well. Can't complain too much as it is complementary!

So much so that we got an order to go and I went the next day and got another order to go for dinner. They were THAT good. I got the rigatoni and my date got casarecce. Both were excellent. The kitchen was kind enough to also give us two churros for dessert which were warm and delicious. Absolutely definitely will go again. A great choice for date night or dinner with friends.
