I got their famous pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni and jalapeños. I ordered it to go so I had one slice in the car because I wanted to see what it tasted like pipin' hot and it was absolutely incredible. Their crust is very crispy and very good. They drizzle olive oil around their crust and usually I do not eat crust, but this was a crust that I didn't mind eating at all. Their pepperoni cups are super good. Tasted very fresh and almost tasted like it was freshly sliced or something or other. It is very different from the other pizza places you can tell that their pizza here is super fresh. I would rate this pizza next to the best with Wrectangle pizza to get an idea of the freshness and flavor. read more

Always love the plants and lights. They have a ton of NA options, but I especially appreciate their NA cocktails with no soda. The pizza is great, lots of options on the menu. Their private event space is also really nice and pretty spacious. Guests have to walk a little further for the bathrooms. Parking is usually hard with the lot, but I've noticed it's harder when Quincy hall has an event. read more

I think the best thing about Earl Giles is definitely the atmosphere and decor. They also have incredibly kind staff. We went for a bridal party meet up and our waitress was very nice and easy to talk to, she also answered any questions we had with a detailed answer! The drink I had gotten was the strawberry mojito (switched the rum for vodka, which they happily did and my friend ordered it NA which they also happily did) and it was DELICIOUS. I could've drank 20 if they weren't alcoholic. Our table got oysters, the crab dip, the house pickles, two pizzas and the beef tartare. The oysters were good, nothing crazy but they tasted clean. The crab dip was so so yummy. I would've bought it and brought it back home. The house pickles were good but nothing too exciting seeing as they're just pickles. The two pizzas I did not eat but all of the girls seemed to thoroughly enjoy them. Same with the beef tartare. The salad I got for myself (pictured) was so yummy!!! I wanted something lighter but not boring and I loved this! Something I would definitely order again. The only gripe I have about this place is that the time I went before this, I had gone with others and we had gotten the carbonara pizza and I thought it was very dry and pretty bland. The mule I had gotten also didn't really have a balanced flavor with the house syrup they said it was made with. Overall though, this place has good drinks, a beautiful big open space, and friendly staff!! read more

What a fun place to come. We go way back using Earl Giles products, and now we can enjoy their cocktail creations and food in a very nice lounge. Their pizza and parm tater tots are the perfect snack food to order here. Also you can buy smaller bottles of their whiskies in the gift shop. And I do have to say the Rye whiskey is very well made. read more

This is the first time we've actually eaten here and everything was so good! The beef tartare was the best we've had in a long time. We liked the seasonal pizza more than the regular, but both were pretty good. We also tried the artichoke dip as well as two desserts and we are already looking forward to coming back and re-ordering a few of those! Our server was great too- very accommodating. We loved our drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere...going from a bunch of sunlight coming in the space to the sun going down with gorgeous lights inside. It felt like the perfect evening (we were clearly there a while). :) read more

Our first visit to Earl Giles! We came for Sunday brunch and this place brings all the vibes. It felt like a place I would want to return to for date nights and group outings alike. Parking lot was large and easy to navigate. Our server and the host were really receptive to it being our first visit and explained their distilling process. The brunch menu had a great mix of foods from their regular dinner menu as well as some fun things for brunch like breakfast drinks and pizzas. Overall, delicious, great service, and I would absolutely return. read more

I have a new favorite desert, and it's the Budino. I have never before enjoyed pudding in any form or flavor, but I love this. Super rich, slightly salty, with the perfect amount of crunch, I have been known to order this and only this for pick up when I am craving desert after dinner. If you like Butterfinger candy bars, give this a try. You're welcome. Yes, I also enjoy their pizza and cocktails (and have reviewed them), but this review is basically just for the desert which I did not include in my previous review. Earl Giles also has a nice upstairs space with a bar and a mixing room that is great for large groups! read more

Visited 12/21/25. Earl Giles as "Jingle Giles," is simply magical. The decor is perfection and goes so well with the restaurant itself. The lot had plenty of space on this day, usually when I go at night I have to scrounge for a spot. Service was great throughout with our waitress being really accommodating and kind. The holiday drinks were super fun and had a lot of variety which was perfect for our group. I got the red nose drink (ended up tasting like an adult Shirley temple of sorts which I was into), while my sister got the holiday margarita, and my mom got one similar to a Paloma (apologies for not remembering the name)! I got a taste of all and they were all really great options that I would recommend. The harvest salad was the surprise standout of the day. Super flavorful and we loved the blue cheese crumbles on top. Would easily order this again (have to admit it would be hard to decide between this and the Caesar though because they are both really great). Pizza was solid as per usual! My sister and I both lamented the loss of the Mac and cheese pizza but the ones we shared were solid. Loved this little holiday excursion! Our mom made us promise to take her again next year so you know she also approved . read more

Came specifically for the holiday pop up bar. They''re booked and busy, no reservations available practically all month. So I went around 4pm during the week as a walk-in. The only option was seats in the lounge or the bar. Opted for the lounge with couches since it's comfortable, roomy, and a fine alternative to a table for us. I'd come once before and there was a 45 min wait even for the lounge. The seasonal holiday drinks were decent. I had the holiday cosmopolitan which was ok and included cranberry and mint. It was flatter than I expected. Could use some Prosecco to brighten it up and a dash of mint syrup and more citrus since the mint leaves didn't really come through in flavor though they made for a cute mistletoe. The egg nog shot was great and the truffle fries with grated manchego cheese are super delicious. It's beautifully decorated. I had higher hopes for the drinks and would consider giving another try. read more

Love, love this place. Drinks were all incredible, pizza was fantastic and our server was attentive. The atmosphere here alone makes it worth coming. The place is covered in plants. It feels like a fresh blend of greenery and industrial. The food here is top notch! Order the potatoes with harissa sauce! It's a must! So savory, and the harissa sauce is to die for. We also ordered the pickle dip which was good and only got better the more you ate. Maybe not for you if you're not a pickle lover though. Lastly we ordered the pizza indeed. The roasted poblano and jalapeño added a nice kick without being over the top and the chorizo was delicious Ns flavorful. Can't recommend a visit here enough! read more

The restaurant itself was beautiful. The food fell flat. The desserts were especially tasteless. The burger was not seasoned and the dip was bland as well. We really wanted to love this place but it was not the most enjoyable meal. read more

We went to Earl Giles at 530 pm on a Saturday. We walked in without a reservation and were sat at the bar. I would HIGHLY encourage a reservation if you want to sit somewhere specific/ get in right away during busy times. Food 5/5. We had an old fashioned and dragonfruit drink. They were both very good. I love spice, and this place hit it out of the park. Everything was perfectly balanced, fresh, and spiced well. We had the pickle dip, Doritos, pepperoni pizza, and the smash burger with tots. I have zero complaints! If you're on a date and don't want to get messy, the smash burger isn't your option. It was amazingly delicious and ended up all down my hands. One small note is if you get pizza they come out when they're ready, so not always together with other food. Service 5/5: all of the bartenders were very attentive, friendly, and prompt with service. Ambiance 5/5: we sat at the corner of the bar, so had some extra room and we loved it. This place can get a bit loud, but we were able to hear each other. Do note that the dinning room is made up of high tops, low tops, and couches. If you want something specific make sure to ask for that. Overall we loved this place and will be back. read more

We came around 11 am on Saturday, which is right about when they open. It wasn't busy at all and we got seated quickly. We chose to sit in the lounge area on large couches. They were comfy and the plants and space make a relaxing environment. Their cocktail menu is extensive and impressive! Along with their fantastic NA/Zero Proof drinks!! Very impressive. My drink of choice was the Rabbit Kick. Great color to it, nice flavor from the carrot juice, gin was hardly noticeable, did not taste the vanilla at all, but that's okay it was a good drink. Refreshing. We ordered the house pickles. They are a generous amount so share them. They were very good though and I did bring the rest home with me. We tried this interesting dish Beets that had coconut cream, papaya salad, and fried shallot. The beets were fantastic and the coconut cream so light and fluffy without a sweet taste. The papaya salad added a nice spice to it. Did not care for the fried shallots on top, wasn't sure if it was because of their texture. Maybe they weren't crispy enough or just didn't feel like they added much to the dish, but as overall happy with the beets and brought the rest home for later. We had the Pizza Indeed which I have to say I have tried before and it is incredible! Great flavor, texture, not too greasy. The crust is soft enough to eat though not too soft and doughy. I remember when I first tried it I was nervous about having hot honey on a pizza, well was I shocked when it was so good!! I like this place and would come again!! Mostly for their extensive cocktail list and amazing pizza and exciting atmosphere! read more

The mocktails are delicious! Not overly sweet like at most places. The place is huge with strands of lights and so many plants. Service was friendly and the server made good recommendations for drinks. The pickle dip was really good- the pickles in the dip were crunchy. The gluten free pizza was ok- the crust had a weird texture. My friends liked their food a lot and also loved the decor. A huge parking lot is such a bonus for NE Minneapolis . I will for sure be back! read more

Earl Giles Distillery is one of our favorite spots in the Twin Cities. The atmosphere is welcoming, the cocktails are creative and expertly crafted, and the food is just as impressive. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, dinner, or meeting up with friends, the experience is consistently outstanding. The staff is friendly and attentive, and it's clear they take pride in what they do. We always leave looking forward to our next visit and would highly recommend Earl Giles Distillery to anyone looking for a great night out. read more

Such a fun holiday spot during the Jingle Giles pop-up! I made a reservation a month in advance to ensure we could enjoy all the holiday decor and menu. My only downside was that we were seated in the upstairs away from all the lights - there were just a few blue string lights and a yule log on the TV. I would suggest that in the future, the reservations should be placed in the main space, and walk-ins be flowed through the back. Good news is, the holiday menu food and drink was fantastic! My husband loved the salted caramel old fashioned, and I loved the N/A lingonberry seltzer. It was sweet, light and delicious - plus very festive! We then shared the Caesar salad - I am obsessed with the bread-y croutons. Finally, we ended with a pepperoni pizza with hot honey, and it was perfectly flavorful and not too floppy. Overall, would recommend the Jing Giles pop-up other than the seating situation! read more

Fun spot that is beautifully decorated for the holidays. Lots of festive and holiday themed drinks. The crab artichoke dip was a hit across the table. It came with fried breadsticks that are reminiscent of a fry bread. The French onion pizza was quite good too. The meatloaf was tasty and looked like a small portion but was surprisingly filling, especially because the flavors were very robust. read more

The holiday pop up bar was a perfect time to visit Earl Giles. It was so festive and the place was hopping. We ordered drinks while we waited for our table, as we went without a reservation. I had the espresso martini and my hubby had the gin and tonic, both very good!! We sat at the bar and the service was subpar. We had some grace as it was very busy but we continued to have to flag down our server. We ordered the pickle dip which was good and the short rib pizza with neither of us cared for. The horseradish mayo overpowered the entire thing and everything was a bit too salty. This place had a fun atmosphere and we can see the draw but unfortunately we won't be back. read more

Jingle Giles is such a fun holiday pop-up and definitely worth checking out if you want full festive immersion. We tried a few of their seasonal cocktails; the Evergreen Collins, Comet & Cupid, and the Spiced Hot Chocolate. Heads up that all of the drinks lean very sweet and the alcohol is pretty light, but they're still fun and fit the theme perfectly. For food, we shared the Caesar salad, truffle fries, and the National Treasure pizza. Everything was super tasty and came out quick. The pizza had great flavor without being overly heavy. Service was one of the highlights. Our server, Gia, was fantastic. She was friendly, quick, and genuinely in the holiday spirit. The whole staff kept the energy upbeat even with how busy it gets. Atmosphere is where this place shines. It's decked out floor to ceiling with holiday décor, lights everywhere (lv18 million!!!), and a vibe that makes it easy to get into the spirit whether you're here with friends, a date, or a group celebration. Super fun stop if you're looking to celebrate the holidays in Minneapolis. It's festive, lively, and great for a night out, just know you're here more for the experience than craft cocktails. read more

We visited Earl Gilles for my birthday after hearing good things about their pizza, and I have to say, the pizza itself did not disappoint. We arrived on a Thursday at 6:30 PM and were told there would be a 10 minute wait for a table for two. We were fine with that, but ended up waiting 30 minutes. That's understandable during busy hours, but what was frustrating was finding out--from the bartender--that we could've just taken two open spots at the bar. The hostess didn't mention that was even an option, and instead we waited around when we could've been enjoying our night sooner. A simple suggestion from the front of house would have made a big difference. We were intrigued by the French onion dip appetizer listed on the menu, but when we got our physical menus, it wasn't available. There was a pickle dip through which we enjoyed. We also tried the National Treasure and it was absolutely delicious--crispy on the outside, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I love a loaded pizza and this pizza was loaded with pepperoni! It was the highlight of the night. It was my birthday week and our bartender said she could give me a birthday shot to celebrate. That was a nice gesture, but I told her I wasn't currently drinking. Instead, she whipped up an NA French 75 version - let me tell you - one of the best shots I've EVER had! I want that in a drink form - so refreshing! Overall, Earl Gilles delivers on food, especially the pizza, but the service and communication could use a bit of tightening up. I'd go back, but next time, I'll check the bar first. read more

We had book club here and enjoyed it! We were sat at a couch and some chairs around a table which was nice for book club and drinks but got a tad tricky once we ordered food. We got pizza, which was great and they have some fun seasonal flavors as well. We also tried the butterscotch dessert, fantastic, and the churros, those are a pass. The pickle dip was also a favorite and the grilled bread was good but a little too charred. Overall a great casual spot that's good for groups and for hanging out! read more

We had so much fun at "Jingle Giles" last year we had to make it a tradition! We were lucky enough to get a dinner time reservation after somebody cancelled so keep checking if you aren't able to get your desired time right away! Drinks were 10 out of 10 as usual and my husband is obsessed with the Duritos. So festive and fun and lots of different seating types available. The pickle dip came with so many chips so be ready to share with a group of you order that. Be sure to save room for dessert because the Butterscotch Budino was heavenly! read more

stopped by at around 6 PM for a drink and pizza. The place was pretty full, probably because it was a Friday. we were sat at the bar because tables were coming at some point. I still think the reservation system needs a little bit of work, because there were so many empty tables yet the bar was the only place we could be sat at. our bartender was friendly and attentive, and I had two of the Serrano hurricane drinks which were absolutely delicious and just the right level of spice. The pepperoni pizza was also really good and had some yummy crust. read more

I enjoyed the large open space here. It's a lively atmosphere decorated with tons of dangling ceiling lights and plants. Plenty of tables and even some cozy reading chairs encircling tables. Business varies based on times of the season. There's been times where a large group of us can walk in around five without reservations and get a table without issues. They occasionally host holiday themed events and it's impossible to get a table without a reservation. Their menu is wonderful! They have a huge selection of cocktails and NA drinks for everyone. They also serve appetizers, pizzas and sandwiches. I tried the potatoes with a Quincy Cosmo drink. The potatoes were nice and crispy on the outside but were overpowered by the red harissa sauce. I would've preferred just a drizzle of the sauce but the potatoes were drenched in it. As a table, we shared the Ricks pickle dip. It was a great snack for everyone and the chips were tasty even without the dip. The dip contained dill so that may be a turn off for some. I wasn't impressed with my cocktail but maybe I just made the wrong choice. Either way I still enjoyed my time here. Service was excellent and parking easy and free. read more

Finally made it to this distillery, it's beautiful! They have a huge parking lot and building, one side is the distillery and restaurant, then the otherside is the banquet hall for weddings and parties. We walked in and saw lots of plants and gold lights. We were in awe. They have craft cocktails and full menu with a huge pizza oven on the side. Behind the kitchen you can see the barrels of liquor and distillery. Tours and tasting are available if you sign up online. They had 2 parties in the back and each table sat easily 8 - 10 guests. Craft cocktails were delicious, I will have to come back and try the food. read more

After work happy hour meeting. Great venue!! Love the ambiance of this place. We only had appetizers and a pizza but they were great. Oysters on the half shell. Chesapeake Crab dip was wonderful. Bread sticks similar to funnel cake done real well. We also had the fish fry which got high praise. Ordered the National Treasure pizza and can recommend highly. Finished off the food with their Churros and one order of Budino. Don't ask, just try it. Beverages included Old Fashioneds, a Carrot juice cocktail, Espresso Martinis and a couple more thrown in. Our server was fantastic!! Very attentive but not overly bothersome. Very knowledgeable. Plenty of parking when we were there, but might get crowded if they have events going on. They also sell a variety of mixes and syrups. Need to get back down to this place again soon!! read more

I love the vibes here! As a plant lover, the plant decor is top notch. It's inviting and relaxing and the lights, TV's and crowds make it fun. The service was fast and friendly. A few items in which we were interested were out. Which was disappointing. The national treasure pizza is flavorful and delicious. The ratatouille could use more veggies and sauce. The drink I ordered came with a large ice cube with the name Earl Giles on it. That was cute, but you can imagine how little actual drink there was. The pickles were tasty, but a bit too sweet for me. I'm a spicy, savory pickle girly. The potatoes with the harissa sauce were delicious! The pickle dip was more savory and good, but lacked pickles. It's cute spot for some bites, nice ambiance and vibes. read more

Went here on a COLD Friday night. A week prior to going we looked online at reservations and they were booked out a bit but it said that they do still take walk ins. We got there around 7 and were able to get a table right away. It was pretty busy but not packed. It was my first time visiting and I thought it was super cute. All the hanging lights, the plants, the art, loved it. Some of the plants needed some tlc but overall great concept. We ordered a few drinks and food (mostly pizzas). I tried the Pizza Indeed w/out the chorizo. The pizza was good. Love a good BOP. A bit pricey though. For drinks I had the Borealis Hurricane & Blackberry Lavender Sling. The Hurricane was good, I didn't really care for the lavender drink. The waitress was nice, very attentive. Seems like a generally cool place to hangout. They have a really nice size parking lot. read more

Earl Giles is a STAPLE location for birthdays, celebrations, out of town guest, or a simple happy hour. I have watched them evolve since they opened and they continue to stay relevant. Their cocktails have such unique flavor combinations and there is an option for all palettes. They even have added to their menu with a significant amount of mocktails that are just as decorative and flavorful. I also believe they have some of the best wood fired pizza in the area, making this place a well rounded spot for dinner and a drink. The staff is accommodating and I have had several successful large party reservations! Not to mention the space is beautiful, there is table seating, high top seating, and even living room style seating surrounded by beautiful plants! read more

We hit up this cute place for a girls night. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. Plants and lights everywhere. They have a cute sitting area with couches all around but we got seated at high top which was cool. We started off with their version of a hurricane which was so good. After that I tried the lemonade with lavender (I didn't like that as much). They have pizzas and a few handheld plates as well as some apps. I got one of their pizzas which was tasty. Parking is great. They have a huge parking lot which is not super common for this specific area. One thing I would recommend. If you need to go to the rest room and are scared of walking alone.. bring g a buddy it's pretty far and it's not the easiest to find, although they do have some nice art to look at on the way. Perfect place to try some cute cocktails and good food. I do recommend making a reservation (I think that's maybe how you get the couches). Although, we didn't have one and we were seated right away. read more

My most recent visit was to the Jingle Giles Christmas theme bar, and it was phenomenal. During special events it definitely gets busy, but they take reservations which is helpful.

It's always a good & delicious time! read more

I came to Earl Giles because they are one of the few spots that do Christmas decor around the holiday times. Their Christmas decor... amazing. You definitely feel the holiday spirit. The food was also delicious. We had: Brussel Sprouts, mushroom pizza also called A Good Trip, and their holiday special Swedish Meatballs. The Brussel Sprouts were good, charred topped with apples on a cheese sauce. If you like Brussel Sprouts you'll like this. The mushroom pizza was really good. Great mushroom umami and garlic flavors. The crust is fluffy and smoky from the wood fire oven. The Swedish meatballs were spectacular. Meaty and savory. The gravy had nice Christmas elements (hints of cinnamon and cardamom?). The service was good, nothing bad experienced at all. The drinks were nice and fun (especially their Christmas special drinks). This spot was popular, and the wait was about 2 hrs. Reserve ahead if you can. read more
