    Rum Row Tiki Bar: After the meal we ventured down the staircase to try out the speakeasy cocktails. Years of Darkness ("Old-Fashioned" - Larry Cumberbatch - 1938) | 1938 Black Pot Still Jamaican Rum, Lightly Aged Pot Still Jamaican Rum, Pimento Dram, Petite Canne Shrum, Xocolatl Mole Bitters, and Angostura Bitters

    I cannot believe that a place like this is almost in my own backyard! I have fallen in love with tiki bar culture in the last couple of years but sadly Minnesota doesn't have much of a scene. But Rum Row aims to change all that. Before I dive in, keep in mind that this place is in it's infancy. Staff and wait times are slow and the kinks are getting worked out. Give it time and it will all fall into place, if anything, this place is headed in the right direction. The first thing this place gets right is that the bar is "hidden" as all good tiki grottos should be. This one finds itself in the basement of Dangerfields. After you descend the stairs, you are transported to a dark, dimly lit room with palm and bamboo lining the walls (and also fake plastic brick, ha), but it really sets the mood. The only bright light comes from the bar and huge rum display behind it. For rum selection, they have a lot to choose from ranging from all parts of the world. The drink menu is composed of many classic tiki drinks from famous curators such as Trader Vic, Don the Beachcomber, etc. As a tiki nut, I recognized many of the sources where these recipes came from, somebody did their homework here. I tried the Three Dots and a Dash and it was a perfect tiki cocktail. Not too sweet, layered, and detailed in the sips. I took a peek behind the bar and was satisfied to see that many of the syrups appear to be homemade and the juices fresh pressed. Nothing replaces the taste of fresh lime juice and homemade orgeat. I give this place 5 stars because of the authenticity and experience they aim to create. It is on the right path to success. The only thing this place is missing is the ability to purchase tiki mugs and barware with your drink or have exclusive merchandise to purchase separately. As a tiki collector, it is like not having a gift shop attached to a tourist attraction. I want my shirt (er, tiki mug) after my trip has concluded. If you are looking for just a bar, this place may not be for you. This is a TIKI bar so that means a certain culture and methodology is followed to bring the guests a certain experience just like what you might find at a speakeasy or pub bar. This place is not a pub, speakeasy, or hometown bar, it is a TIKI bar. If you are looking for those types of bars, the one upstairs in the restaurant will be to your liking. Drinks may take longer because there is a lot of steps to making them, just give it time and relax. You are on vacation time now.

    I think this might be one of my favorite spots for drinks & a bite yet. With a smaller (and more carribean & only rum) menu, you still have a handful of delicious items to choose from. I wish I would've let my phone eat first because I promise you I would've had so many more pictures. Here are the main things you need to know: Perfect spot for groups - why go downtown to a bar when you can have the experience of one right in Shakopee? Tons of seating in the basement floor with a bit of a speakeasy feel. While some people might just come here to drink, I highly recommend grabbing a bite, too. You'll end up staying much longer! We ordered a LOT, but here are my "eh" experiences: The Cubano - dry, too much condiments to try to liven up the taste. Sushi taco trio - I just should've known, let's be honest. I wouldn't get it again. Nope. Here are my "YES, I want more" experiences: Jerk chicken skewers - seriously so damn good, felt like I was in Jamaica again. All of the flavor combinations were on point. The blind tiger - yes, yes, and yes. We ordered 3 batches and I ate almost all of them every single time. Calypso chicken wings - simple and to the point, not too outlandish for your picky eater and a crowd please for the table.

    Meh. What a let down. Unfortunately we had two very lackluster experiences in back to back weeks with Shakopee House and then Rum Row Tiki Bar. I mentioned in my other review it's possible that some of this has changed since we went as we went within the first month or so of opening but we haven't felt like venturing out to try again. Will we eventually? Probably, but it's certainly not on the short list of places we think of going when we want to stop out for a drink or two. We stopped by after attending an event nearby and thought why not have a few drinks for a night cap? As always, the parking lot is a mess. I won't go into this too much, but just know if you're going to be swinging by here or Shakopee house to be prepared to circle the parking lot and/or park in an adjacent lot and walk over. Both times we visited someone had blocked off one of the lanes to the other parking lot effectively making it useless. So annoying, stressful, and chaotic. Never a way you want to start/end your evening. Now the good things: the decor and remodel of this place is incredible! I could look at this stuff for hours. The idea of the hidden bar is fun too - unless you don't like the booze they are serving (which I don't, I think it was a tequila bar) then you can't partake in it which was a little bit of a let down but I get it. The drinks were good! However, if you're going to call yourself a tiki bar, I need these drinks to be served in tiki glasses, over garnished, and obnoxious! Tiki bar's are supposed to be an experience! Unfortunately that's lacking a bit here. Things to be improved upon: service!! Ugh, we drew the short end of the stick when we arrived for our night cap, it was very clear to us that our server was new new, not inexperienced new, flat out first day new. We saw her once, and then when we paid our bill. We had bartenders/hosts/and other servers take our drinks (the two sets we could get) and deliver our drinks, and remove our drinks. I kid you not, we were there for an extended period of time simply because no one checked on us and our server was no where to be found for us to flag her down. We did see a handful of other servers who were simply killing it, so we could've had better service but unfortunately did not. On top of this, they put us at a two top high top near the BATHROOM. Like right next to the bathroom doors. Talk about a mood killer. I'd recommend relocating that table or getting rid of it all together. Overall, meh meh meh. We were very disappointed in this one.

    Tiki bar We had the Knickerbocker, Years of Darkness, and Batten Down the Hatches for cocktails. The drinks were all winners, if you are unsure trust the assistance of the servers. They were spot on with their suggestions. We had the Cubano and the Papas Rellenas for food. The Cubano was what you would expect and was good, the papas rellenas while good were just lacking in the wow factor and were missing the crispy exterior I was expecting. Overall great place for drinks it's top notch, for food it's good. It's pretty dark in here so we did the get any good food pics. It shares the lot with the upstairs restaurant so it can look packed and still have tons of room downstairs.

    Wow, this was a nice surprise I had no idea this was here or had this kinda potential! They did a beautiful job with the remodel. It's totally tiki! The entrance to this speakeasy alone is filled with so many details. It's a fantastic way to feel like you could escape the winter snow. The service was charming even though there was a wait. It was a busy place and we did not make any kind of reservation. But once seated we were well taken care of. THE DRINKS!! They were so fun and I have NEVER had my drink served with a banana created to look like a dolphin before. That was amazing. Still feel I got a full portion even tho there was a dolphin in my cup. The Rum selection is massive. The drink was made very well and excited to try others. I think this is a great spot to grab some drinks after a meal upstairs at Shakopee House even tho they served quite a few appetizer options there. I am so happy Shakopee has added place like this!

    Bar moved to back of tequila butcher. You can order from their menu or tequila butcher's menu. Vibes are not tiki bar but drinks are 10/10. The bar is a nice place to sit back with friends. It's not psycho suzie but it's definitely worth a visit. If you like rum this place has amazing stiff rum drinks. We ended up getting food from tequila butcher menu and the appetizers were solid. In the summer they have a nice patio as well. It kind of felt like tequila butcher absorbed the tiki bar form shakopee. But not in a bad way. If you need night out with friends or date night this a solid choice. The staff was great and friendly as well.

    What a fun place! Set in the basement of The Shakopee House restaurant; it is reminiscent of a Speak-Easy. Great atmosphere with a Tiki-Bar theme with the largest selection of Rum I have ever seen. The waitstaff were fantastic and really made the experience! Highly recommend you stop in for the experience!

    Love this new speakeasy! Fun. Friendly. Great ambiance. Great waitstaff. Feels like a place you'd only find in a downtown area. Highly recommend.

    First off, let me just say, anything, and I do mean ANYTHING is an improvement to Dangerfields. That being said, Rum Row is actually a really cute little basement tiki bar. The atmosphere is very laid back, and the lighting and mood is low key and pleasant. It is loud, as sound just bounces off the old brick, and it's a little hard to hear your conversation, but hey, it's a bar. Drinks are top notch. Fantastic flavors that really punch you in the mouth. They definitely don't skimp the pours, and you know you're drinking alcohol for sure. Food is just ok. We had the wings, Cubano Sandwich, Ropa Vieja, and the Jerk Chicken Skewers. Flavors were all good, but nothing to write home about. Wings are rubbery, probably because they're smoked and then reheated by the taste and texture. A quick bath in the fryer would do wonders for them. Plantains were the highlight, but everything else was just meah. But again, it's a bar. For a fun date night, or a nice way to end the night, I can definitely see this as a passable drink spot. Just maybe eat first.

    Well second time going back to check for improvement and I am left with more disappointment. The novelty of having a Tiki drink served in a Tiki Mug is quintessential to a positive Tiki experience, I asked to have my drink served in a Tiki mug but told that could be arranged if a card was put on file in case Tiki Mugs walked away. This is bizarre, understandable but bizarre and definitely negatively impacted the experience.

I imagine it would be really nice in the spring/summer as there is a horse track right outside of the restaurant which would provide a great view to a race. It definitely got a little loud just sitting inside They had a large variety of options to choose from on the menu. They also offered a great and surprisingly extensive Happy Hour Menu which we got there in time to take advantage of.  We got the burger and thought it was very tasty, we love a good caramelized onion. I thought it definitely needed some ketchup to balance out the heaviness of the onions and cheese with a little bright acidity. I also thought the patties themselves were very good, thin with a slight crisp to them with a soft bun and melty sauces and cheese. Since it was a happy hour option the burger did not come with any sides like it would have as an entrée. We also got fish tacos and we were a big fan of the slaw and pineapple mayo which brought a balance of sweet and savory to the dish. Only came with two tacos (at least for happy hour) which might not be enough food if you're hungry. The hot smoked salmon was one of the more unique items we tried. The salmon itself was super tasty - salty and smoky just what you want. They use the smaller scraps of salmon that wouldn't work in their Wood-Fired King Salmon entrée and incorporate it into this appetizer which is great sustainability-wise! The salmon came with a creamy ricotta, salty capers, crunchy crostini, and sweet and acidic pickled red onions. We liked this combination a lot but felt it could have used even more sweetness/acidity, maybe just adding a couple more onions to the dish. We really enjoyed the 'Garganelli' pasta dish. It was creamy and indulgent with pieces of lobster and freshly shaved parmesan on top. The chili added a really nice layer of heat but wasn't overpowering. The server was nice enough to split up everything we had over the evening to share (which explains the two small portions in the photo). MN Mule - 8/10 Pretty average but solid mule. However, it was served in a plastic spam cup which elevated the whole experience. Margarita - 9/10 Very good margarita - we were told it was a house made margarita not from a mix. Very bright and fresh flavors that definitely let the tequila shine. Overall would definitely recommend!

    Food was very good. Happy hour and prices were attractive as was the service…read more Mostly hard surfaces and quite loud even though less than half full. Next time will be a patio visit. Excellent dessert selection. Loved the deconstructed key lime pie. Not to be missed.

    Great food, great service, there's not much I would change!…read more Mr. Pig Stuff recently moved into a new location and I have to begin by saying, their new space is beautiful. It's gives off a modern whiskey house/southern rustic vibe. Plenty of indoor seating and a cute patio with an indoor/outdoor bar top. I have eaten here 3 times in the past few months and my experience has been the same each time, wonderful! My two favorite meals are the Smoked Chicken Wings and The Pile sandwich. The chicken wings: I'm the type to always sauce up any wing I get. Pig Stuff's wings will come out dry rubbed with your sauce in the side. At first I was hesitant but now I know why! Their dry rub is fantastic! The flavors are Smokey, savory, and salty - easily eaten on their own. The meat is very juicy and falls off of the bone! (8.5/10) The Pile: this is a sandwich consisting of brisket, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, and coleslaw. It's a monster of a sandwich and could definitely make a mess but OMG it is tasty! The sandwich comes with BQQ sauce, but who needs it when you have the juiciness of the pork, smokiness of the brisket, creaminess of the Mac & cheese, and the tang of coleslaw! It's almost hard not to finish this sandwich. (9/10) Another favorite are their fries. Fresh, crispy, and well seasoned. You can also get them as garlic parm fries where they drizzle their wing sauce across the top - YUM. (8/10) Lastly, the service here has always been impeccable. You're greeted with a smile by everyone. I have yet to meet a server or bartender that wasnt engaging. Looking forward to coming back around!

This is something that we get many places because it's my husband's favorite and we both agreed this was our favorite coconut shrimp so far in the Twin Cities. I got the Asian slaw salad with Aji tuna. I've had this before, it is so good especially the shoyu dressing. It sounds boring to come here and get a salad, but it's just delicious especially with the crunchy macadamia nuts. My husband got the loco Moco with short rib and loved it. We got fries on the side.

We made a reservation on both occasions but didn't have to make it too much in advance so it's always worth checking on. Service is always spectacular with a huge attention to detail and really customized spiels about the menu. The things I've recently tried for drinks have included the spritz del ambratta, the fiore, and a sparkling red from their wine selection. I find myself going back to the Fiore and would recommend that most although their wine is a solid selection as well. In my opinion, the best starter combination is the focaccia plus the lemony beans. The focaccia is solid and it's so good to dip in the mixture that the beans are doused in. The Caesar was decent as well but you can't miss with that other combo. Then, of course, the mains. If you love creamy pasta, do yourself a favor and get the cavatelli. One of my favorite dishes I've had there; I kept almost comparing it to an adult Mac and cheese. Great for sharing if creamy pastas are a bit too rich for your liking. The lasagna is always a close second and you can't go wrong with it. My friend adored the pickle pizza and I thought it was solid too although I would still probably get the cavatelli or lasagna if you are between that and the pizza. Another great shareable. The saffron spaghetti was decent with some really good bite from the noodles and the taste of saffron really coming through, but I would probably get those other dishes before I would order that. On the first occasion, I was there we were celebrating two of my friends' 30th birthdays and H&S did such a good job of celebrating and making them feel special plus they brought out French silk pie cannolis for us plus glasses of sparkling wine, so I would highly recommend this place as a celebratory dinner. I hope it becomes a big mainstay in twin cities/twin cities adjacent cuisine.
