We headed down to the Blue Goose and were treated to some of the best craft cocktails in town.

We also came on a night where the Fabulous Armadillos happened to be playing in their theater which was a fantastic atmosphere!

The servers were educated on the menu and helped us make decisions about drinks. We ordered basically across the menu and alcohol types and didn't have a bad drink. Having to enter through the back of the building makes this feel like an exclusive club or a little bit of a speakeasy.

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.

Everything was excellent, although I think I could skip the lobster roll next time. My boyfriend ordered the pork belly as a starter and the hot plate for his entrée. We both loved the pork belly, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! He also had so much fun cooking his meal on the hot plate, which made for a unique dining experience. The service was unbelievable! Our waiter was incredibly attentive, helpful with any questions we had, and really made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. The restaurant was decorated for Halloween, which was such a fun touch, but it still maintained an upscale, high-end atmosphere. Overall, we had a great experience, and I'm already looking forward to going back!

Service is friendly and well-paced, despite it being packed when I was there. Booths are spacious, comfortable, and make up most of the seating. -- The calamari was SO light and crispy, and had a slight heat to it. It might be the best calamari I've had in the cities. -- The sangria wasn't too sweet and easily chuggable. The ice pop is a fun touch. The espresso martini was incredible and had a good balance between sweet and bitter. -- The crabcakes were flavorful and the lobster mac and cheese was saucy and had large chunks of lobster. -- The japanese milkbread was warm, fluffy, and buttery. It comes with three pieces. I wish the whipped butter was topped with more salt. -- The steak in the steak frites was tender and pre-sliced. The fries are thicker and are on the softer side. -- The carrot cake was so delicious and you could really taste the ginger and spices. The key lime pie was delicious too and not too tart.

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 guy that greets you asks for the password (yes they actually have a secret password!) then he takes you through a metal door into the bar. Love the decor and ambiance. Lots of nooks and places to sit where you are not smashed right up against another table. The food is really just snacks which is fine since this is more of a go there after dinner kind of place. The cocktail menu is extensive, almost overwhelmingly so. I typically go with my gut when it comes to cocktails but because of so many options I asked one of the cocktail servers for a recommendation and was not happy with the result. I honestly think since she was so young, she probably doesn't have much experience drinking craft cocktails yet so I can only blame myself. I did try my friends' drinks and they chose wisely. I am definitely looking forward to going back and trying something else.
