    Unique experience, leaning into the Viking theme. They have a wide variety of mead, from traditional flavors, to spiced, to spicy (like habanero spicy). Seating is primarily in communal tables, with some individual table options. They have some card and board games that you can use while enjoying a drink or two. For food, you can enjoy some Heggies pizza and few panini options.

    I loved the atmosphere of the space. We had no idea this gem was in the NE metro. It's tucked away off of Hwy 61 not far from the Maplewood Mall. I'm thoroughly impressed with their Viking theme. From the seating to the souvenirs, to the decor. It was unique and well executed. I may not be the target audience for Meads. They all tasted a bit off putting to me, but I have to believe it was my tastebuds and not the product itself. Jul was the outlier for me - they were right, it tasted like Christmas in a cup (like a cold mulled wine).

    One of my favorite places to go when I visit my kids in Minneapolis. So many great choice of a wide variety of Mead, and a wonderful place for my silly grandkids to play while we relax and enjoy the mead. They also have some yummy flatbread choices and other snacks. It really is a super great place to come, especially if you want to enjoy a drink and also have the kids with you! Service is also quick and friendly. They often have events, so check their calendar!

    White Bear Meadery was worth waiting for the 4:00 opening time. Friendly service and hospitality. Food came in a timely manner and the decor was outstanding.

    White Bear Meadery has a great selection of meads made with local ingredients. There are so many delicious and unique options but I think my favorite is Midgard's Bounty! So fruity and has a perfect sweetness to it. The decor is so cozy, truly makes you feel like you're in a Viking's Mead Hall - fur pelts, long tables, chandeliers. If you are deciding between flavors; I suggest getting a flight, it is always fun to have more than one!

    I am a virgin mead wine drinker. In fact, I had no idea what it was until we used our pub pass to check it out. I went with the standard Vahalla. I didn't mind it as it tasted a bit like a smooth white wine. While I can't say I will become a mead wine drinker anytime soon, I do encourage you to try this place. It's very cozy (two tables and a bar area). If you sit at the bar you can chat and learn from the very friendly staff. Lots of Viking (Norse not football) items for sale and as decorations. Unique experience.

    This place is super neat and unique. WB Meadery was in our Pub pass and I don't think we would ever have checked this place out as I've never heard of it. We weren't sure what to expect as we are more beer drinkers and I have never heard of MEAD so it was a fun new experience. The girl working was SO friendly and told us a little bit about the space and was very helpful on what to pick out. The decor was very fun and they have a ton of snacks and even pizza. The space is small but they are moving to a new bigger location soon. If you have been interested in MEAD or just want to try something different I would totally recommend trying this place.

    As a dude in his 30s trying to find an alternative to literally all alcohol that doesn't sit well with my belly, I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. I've had mead before and always liked the taste so my wife and I decided to check it out! First off, love the theme. Love the Viking theme and all the bee stuff. Literally everyone loves those two unless you've been pillaged by Vikings or are allergic to bees. If you don't fall into one of those two categories, then this is the place for you. Immediately you'll notice how chill the atmosphere is. It's not pretentious or facetious as some micro breweries can be, or bars for that matter. The staff are so helpful. They're literally just waiting for you to even look like you might have a question and they're ready to answer it. We got all the meads explained and laid out for us. I'd recommend the flight option as there are a TON of options. Really can't go wrong with any. I did end up buying a bottle of the jule one as it's delicious. They have trivia as well and Id strongly recommend this place for anyone who's had it with drinking culture and over the top micro breweries.

    We really enjoyed our visit. The place is cozy with bar seating and 3 tables. Staff/owners were friendly and very knowledgeable about mead. They have a great selection of mead ranging from sweet to dry. They offer smaller flight sized to allow you to try a few. They have a wall of snacks, pizzas, and bee/honey themed gifts. We had a few drinks and played cards. I would recommend this place for meeting with friends and catching up, or going on a date.

    First time here for trivia. It is well decorated with Viking/Nordic theme. The staff members are very friendly. The food is good. The mead is very delicious. They have a flight of 4 glass that ranges from $15-20. They also have an Odin's board $97, which hold 20 mead.

    Membership purchased! The staff is friendly and attentive. We had two flights and a single small, our party of three ordered...Fenrir's Bite, Helbreder, Dragon's Fire, Dragon's Breath, Helbreder, Berserker Everything was great! Our top favorites Helbreder, Spiced Epele and Dragon's Fire. The location is very cozy...but not for long as they are very excited to make way with their new location just a couple miles away.

    Lighting, ambience
    Jen G.

    The lights are super bright. The mead is nice, but if I'm going into a Viking longhouse, it shouldn't be illuminated by the power of 1,000 suns. Honestly, the ambience is the only thing that makes me not want to come back more often, and I live nearby. Come for the mead, stay for the suntan. Skol!

    A whole mix of flavors over 2-flights.

    Bad mead tasted old. I have feeling they don't clean their lines. Owner is not kind to guest never going back.

    They have over 20 different meads, none of them disappoint. And the ambiance is like a Viking tavern, great place.

    Located 45-minutes from the cities, Winehaven Winery is a no brainer especially if you're seeking…read moreout a solid day trip. We ventured here on Mother's Day with no expectations and were pleased to enjoy so many components here. The parking lot is spacious, there is a small interior section of gifts, wine can be purchased (of course), visible vineyards plethora of both indoor and outdoor seating, clean interior, well kept bathrooms, friendly staff, etc. the list goes on and on. My sister and I got the dessert wine as we had just come from eating a large brunch and I absolutely loved it! Winehaven offers standard white and red wines but also does an excellent job with the specialty wine as well. The chocolate zom-bee was oh so good! As the description reads, "Chocolate Zom-Bee is a monstrous explosion of dark chocolate and deep grape wine flavors. This wine is sinfully delicious with decadent chocolate desserts as well as vanilla bean ice cream or fruit-based tarts and pies." Enjoy!!

    Such a nice winery. I try to visit at least once every summer. I went to celebrate my birthday but…read morewe ended up getting there 1hr before closing. I ordered a wine slushy flight but some of the flavors weren't frozen/ready but they were still good overall. Prices were fair. The patio is nice & overlooks the grapevines. They also offer indoor seating as well. I believe both times I went the inside was being rented out for private parties. The staff are nice & attentive. In the past we've ordered some flatbreads and they come out cut in a heart shape, it's super cute. They taste good as well.
