“We love this place. Family friendly, great beer. Great trucks available if you get hungry. Great variety of beef. We just love it. Don’t to mention Dingo on Thursdays!”

“My fiancee, a few friends, and I all came here for Trivia Mafia. None of us had been here before and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was and the overall drink and food offerings. I got an Old Fashioned (which was excellent) and my fiancee got a Negroni. One of our friends got the Mule and everybody said their drinks were fantastic (and potent). I didn't have any food but everyone that did said it was tasty. Most of the options were flatbread type meals/snacks with lots of variations on that. Trivia was also great and the distillery had a dedicated space for that. The service was fantastic throughout and we'll definitely be coming again. 5 stars from me!”

“Great service! Cool atmosphere. The flavors were good, especially the potato salad. The chicken karaage was cooked perfectly, but the flavor was a little unbalanced for me. The plating was beautiful and appetizing. We like the variety of alcoholic, nonalcoholic and THC drinks they offered. There is minimal seating, we sat at the bar so we hope they can grow and have more options. Overall, nice and comfortable place. We’d go again to try more drinks and other dishes.”

“I really liked the amount of different/cute decor they have, and it's all really nice looking. The employees were extremely helpful/nice too. The only thing is that everything is really expensive, so it's hard to justify going there for things.”

4654 Co Hwy 61, Moose Lake, MN 55767, United States

“This place has amazing potential but needs a new chef. Food was low quality. Salad only had iceberg Lettuce. Suggest adding breakfast options especially Sunday mornings. Patty melt served with wrong bread. It was served like a French dip. Meat was dry and chewy. Bread stick was hard.”

“The atmosphere is elegant and relaxed. I love the colors!! Wished the place was a little bit bigger. Service from our waitresses was mediocre. The first waitress barely came to our table, we had to get her attention multiple times to put our order in and to check on our status of our drinks (since it took about 20+ minutes for 2 drinks) and she seemed unhappy, maybe it wasn’t a good day for her? Our second waitress was okay. The food & drinks were beautifully done. We ordered the salmon spread, green goddess salad with chicken, the egg and asparagus, the Tuscan chicken and risotto and vegan ravioli!!! The salmon spread and egg and asparagus was my FAVORITES!!! As for drinks, (it was my Mom’s bday) I had the pretty in peach & Anne with an e. Both were delicious!!! We spent $159. It’s a good vibe to go for a couple of drinks and apps.”

2610 E 32nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55406, United States

“I had been here with friends years ago when the cocktail bar was open. I remembered they had amazing drinks, so I stopped in to buy a bottle of their gin before I had to leave town. I ended up accidentally crashing a private gin-making party, but everyone was so so so kind! I met the owner and the distiller, and they were truly the nicest people ever. The cocktail lounge is no longer in operation, but you can get their liquor in local liquor stores. Highly highly recommend!!!”

213 N 3rd Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401, United States

“Chef Baaska and his team along with the staff at the restaurant put on an excellent experience that rivals some of the most famous sushi restaurants in the country. The fish itself is certainly the top tier of quality and freshness that you’ll find, they go above and beyond to import a beautiful selection. The menu is focused and has several options for a sushi eater. Reservations are recommended as space can be limited, and I’m sure it helps the restaurant to be planful. We should help them offer us this amazing sushi by being punctual and committed to our reservations when it comes to this level of quality and preparation. Go try Cobble and it’s safe to say you won’t regret it.”

515 Washington Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55415, United States

“Here for drinks with my softball team. It definitely is a cool, safe space. If you’re a gay guy! Kind of a bummer for the lone lesbian, but I still had a good time. Ladies, next!”
