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 decor is fun with things to look at with every turn. We just missed happy hour but we were here for the wings as we had heard so much about them. These are not your saucy, messy wings. They are full of flavor and so good! As someone who prefers the messy experience, I would still order them again! Go up one spice level from where you are comfortable as the spicier they are, the more flavorful they become. I normally am very mild and got one mild flavor and one hot. The hot was amazing! The mild was good but not as good as the hotter one. My husband had the boneless wings which were also wonderful! The server was attentive and kept our drinks full. Over all, it was a great experience. Next time I will try some of their other food. The pizza looked so yummy as it was brought out to the table next to us. It is impossible to leave here hungry!

We headed downstairs to the speakeasy for a drink after dinner and it was a fun vibe. Neither of us were drinking (dry January) and I was disappointed to see they had no mocktail offerings! The waitress said they could try to make us something without the alcohol, but my drink was nasty. It's 2026, time to add mocktails to your menu!!!!

The servers were so attentive, fun and dressed in '20's attire. The cocktails were delightful and the appetizers flavorful and tasty! There was live entertainment that night and it was a performance by Gary LaRue. He was spectacular! Such a great entertainer and wonderful singer! We met the co-owner and she was great!

Crispy hash browns are covered with melted cheese, jalapeños, olives, peppers, and onions, while the grilled Polish sausage adds a smoky, savory bite that ties everything together. The sour cream and salsa on the side let you customize every bite. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and it's the kind of breakfast that keeps you coming back. If you're in the mood for something hearty with plenty of flavor, this is an easy recommendation. A great choice when you're craving a serious breakfast.

I did not have that experience at this location. I walked in and I was asked what I wanted to drink and was not sure. The server was on top of things and checked on me several times. I did not feel as if the service was bad. I glanced around and others were getting taken care of promptly. I only had drinks here and no food but the place is clean and the staff was very friendly. I hope to make it back there again to review their food but speaking to a few of the people there I heard good things about the food from other people. The beer was ice cold and they did have a large selection non alcoholic beers it looked like. I will go back to try their food. They have some golf putting area that well I don't understand how and why golf but people like golf. There are other classic bar things in here including bingo.
