16 Best Cocktail Bars near Circle Pines

“What a great find! The salsa had a little heat which is a nice change from all the other Mexican places.The steak street tacos were great! My husband had the chicken burritos and he said they had good flavor and plenty of food on the plate. The menu is extensive and there was a board as we walked in with new items. Make sure to leave room for the tres leche cake! Best I've ever had, nice and moist.Our waitress was fantastic, lived her recommendations! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.“

“This place is 10/10 and the people are 20/10! I was there last night to celebrate my husband’s birthday and they went above and beyond with helping me pull off the surprise. When some of the balloons I had floated off, they got a ladder to get them for me. I brought a cake with me, and they provided plates and cutlery for us which I did not expect!! Everyone was absolutely incredible and I’m so grateful for all they did. THANK YOU.The drinks are amazing and the atmosphere is beautiful. It’s a wonderful place for a date night, hang out with friends or a place to celebrate your birthday. I highly recommend!“

“Absolutely loved the Camden Social. The owner was very professional and welcoming. Went there for Saturday brunch and they had a jazz band playing live music. Ordered the French toast, eggs, and sausage. The sausage was so well seasoned and full of flavor. And the French toast omg so good. Probably one of the best French toast I've had. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. Thanks for a great experience.“

“Ok, I'm visiting Minneapolis to see my kids and grandkids, and my two sons and I decided to come to a new dinner and drinks spot. We were quite impressed by the food! OMG! I had the goat cheese toast and it was superb. I know what you're thinking...goat cheese toast??? Yes! It has the creamiest goat cheese with candied walnuts, thyme, figs, honey, pesto, and a balsamic reduction on a toasted ciabatta. Wow! All those flavors in my mouth made me want to sing!! Hahaha We also got the lemon Caesar salad, and the BBQ Brisket Melt. So good! BBQ flavor was rich and delicious, with a juicy and tender brisket. We also ordered ALL the desserts. LOL The pistachio cheese was, hands down, the best cheesecake I have ever had. What a surprisingly delectable taste combination. The pistachio with the creamy cheesecake, think graham cracker crust and the whipped cream and ice cream was so delicious, I made a scene. Haha! The pineapple Bundt cake was soft, moist , pineapply and so damn good. The chocolate torte was good, delicious but nothing super surprising. The strawberry shortcake was the dessert I was most excited about, but it was disappointing. We did not like it. The shortcake had a really strong bitter flavor. Weird and not pleasant at all. We sent it back, it was that disappointing. But...the rest of the food and beverages were absolutely a do-over! We will be back!!!!“

“Nicole was an absolute gem and was so thoughtful throughout our stay. We just moved to the area (and told her this) she made sure to make our service top tier. She poured our martinis in front of us and poured a lowball for the boys at our table. Such a blast!! Happy to come back“

“Went in thinking of a typical late night bar menu.If bars had a separate class rating for the late night menus and creativity- this would be the place.Exceeded expectations completely, well done. The cheese curds and steak bites both had a really unique (and delicious) touch. The bloody Mary mix is also next level.They also have a variety of top shelf whiskeys, nothing like a Suntory Hibiki, but they have a good selection.“

“Great spot with options for full sit-down meal, bar meal and apps and cozier seating next to bar. Now that they serve breakfast, the menu has something for everyone for every mealtime. (eggs, pancakes, veggies, chicken wings, salads, burgers). Local and standard beers on tap. Good happy hour. And always, if you you are dipping, get the red pepper sauce. Yummy all around food, drinks and people!“

“I don't know where to start. I stopped at Oliver's because it seemed to be less busy than the other restaurants around and I was looking for a quiet place to eat. Walking in, you see an open kitchen and are greeted by a smiling hostess. The menu has great options ranging from burgers to wagyu steak. All of which smell delicious. The atmosphere is really chill and cozy. And the service was excellent. I did appreciate the few tvs they had along the bar, but not having them as a giant distraction. Overall just a great vibe and experience. I look forward to returning again and again!“

“My Son took me there for a late lunch on yesterday Friday Jan 20th, and I was so impressed by the food and service ...The food was fresh! and large portions too, so delicious! and the waiter/ server was so nice and pleasant, and so was the atmosphere and music. I will be returning. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating.“

“First time here, good food, service was good, they made a bigger deal about needing a reservation than it needed to be. We came without a reservation and it felt like we needed an act of Congress to get a table even though the restaurant is only half full. Still a good night out but could have been better,“

“It is interesting how often we forget the tried and true and rush to the new. The Tattersall distillery was forced by antiquated Minnesota liquor laws to move to Wisconsin if they wanted to increase production in their distillery. However, their tasting room in the Thorpe building in Northeast Minneapolis is still open. Instead of waiting hours at the "hot" new places, come on back to Tattersall. It was started in 2015, and has been going strong since then.We made reservations, but even on Saturday night we did not need them. We sat at the bar as usual, and the two bartenders were awesome. They were extremely knowledgeable about all the various spirits made by Tattersall, and we had little tastes of some of the new items as we ordered.I did a flight of their two new gins and their absinthe. I liked them a lot. One gin gets a two week aging in chardonnay barrels. This takes the hotness out of their original gin in a very nice way. It doesn't leave it oaky. Apparently it has won a number of awards in various competitions. The Rosso gin is new, and it is very good! Apparently they added rose petals and berries to their mix of botanicals. It is a very nice gin.We tried two cocktails. They change their cocktail menu every 3 months, so it is good to stop in and have a look. My husband had the Houndstooth, which is rye, amaro, meadowsweet, and black strap bitters. We saw a lot of them heading out to other customers. Their take on a classic gin-based negroni was really good. Their orange bitter liqueur, their amaro, and their sour cherry liqueurs gave it a cherry back note that was quite interesting.They only serve popcorn, pretzels, and beef jerky, but there was a pop up Asian restaurant in the Thorpe building if you wanted to get food. They also have a room where you can buy their spirits. Nice!At $12 and $13 for most drinks, it is also more affordable than the newer glitzy places. It was a super relaxing place for a cocktail. And I love not having to drive around in search of parking!“

“Good, fresh food, selected by you, cooked in front of you, with the sauces you select. What could be better? All you can eat, so gluttons beware. A large variety of tasty cocktails available as well.We went with friends and loved it! Gluten-free options available, which is good. Lots of different meats included (e.g., beef, pork, chicken, lamb, imitation crab, shrimp, tilapia).Give it a try!Vegetarian options: Lots of veggiesDietary restrictions: Gluten-free options“

“We stopped in for a drink and chicken nachos after a long day. Lots of room in the parking lot.Our waiter was outstanding. Very fast and knowledgeable.They were happy to leave the onions off our dish, Much easier than having to pick them off to placate my sensitive innards.“

“Came for the songs of the 70s. Very nice sing along show. Casino - Gin, cherry liquor and lemonade. $14. Good , easy to drink. Wife had smoked duck. I got the walleye $32. Both were good. Walleye even good the next day. It was a very big fish, about 9 inches long. Service was good by Sally S“

“Isaac was beyond professional and fun. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much. I really love the new menu updates. We had the Cajun Alfredo as well as the chicken skewers added bacon and pineapple. It was amazing with drinks of course bloody Mary and old-fashioned. Amazing service hands-down coming back every time thank you Isaac.“

“Food was good, hash browns were AMAZING. Seriously, I want a full plate of them next time. The jam is delicious as well. The $20 mimosa deal is an absolute treat. Nice place with large timbers and huge windows overlooking the golf course. Excellent service as well! My only ask is for some breakfast steak options.“
