The Briar
Cocktail bar
👍👍 This is my new favorite spot in NE!! The atmosphere is so peaceful yet vibrant…lots of good spots to plug in a laptop, and just overall clean and great environment! I love the big windows and that they have food options vs. just pastries (like most coffee shops). I’ve been here like 5 times in the l...

Flying Dutchman Spirits
Distillery
👍👍 Hidden gem! We tried the Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, the Ooh You Fancy, and the Pinacabra. The Buzz, Buzz, Buzz is a new favorite cocktail of mine and is made with their own habernero blue agave. You taste the flavors of the spirit, not just the heat. They had live music inside, an outdoor patio, and they had...

PILLLAR Forum Cafe & Bar
Coffee shop
👍👍 This coffee shop is a great new addition to Central Avenue. The owner was our barista and he was super friendly! They’ve got yummy drip coffee and a rockin’ atmosphere. Everything is put together very well. There’s low table seating, countertop seating, and a quieter space in the back. The bathrooms...

Francis Burger Joint
Hamburger restaurant
👍👍 I’ve been to Francis twice now and both times, I left with a full stomach & heart and shaking my head in bafflement at the fact that fast food is still being made out of dead animals. I mean it actually is really weird, when you stop to think about it - and when you try Francis and realize that easi...

👍👍 This place has the best cocktails and their staff is excellent. Have nothing but great things to says about the hardware store. Some of the bartender whip ups I've had are insanely good. Was never into cocktails that much until going to the hardware store. Highly recommend to everyone.

👍👍 Had a few glasses of wine, absolutely amazing! Also had the pepper poppers as well, absolutely delicious!

Skaalvenn Distillery & Cocktail Lounge
Cocktail bar
👍👍 Sometimes places surprise you. This is one of them. First, this distillery is in an industrial park in Brooklyn Park. Second, to find it, you have to walk through multiple very boring gray carpeted hallways. There is continual signage, saying almost there... which you need because you can't believe...

Emerald Lounge

👍👍 My wife and I stopped in for a couple of cocktails. We hadn't been here before, and living in the neighborhood, wanted to check the place out. First, it's a bit cozy. Nothing right or wrong with that, that's just the way it is. So be prepared for that. The drinks are incredible. We had already eaten...

👍👍 Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remember reading about this place. Please don't let the name and outward appearance deter you from dining here. This place has it all. I highly recommend this very unusual but very excellent restaurant! Their cocktail program is the brainchild of Bennett Johnson,...

Elusive - Botanical Bar by Dashfire
Cocktail bar
👍👍 It was a little scary walking in alone because you have to walk through the dock door and down a long dark hallway next to all the equipment but it’s a cool concept! I didn’t realize there was parking outside so I parked in the residential streets and walked around the building, but there’s plenty o...
