17 Best Cocktail Bars near Excelsior

“Nice restaurant with a cozy vibe. Went for Valentine’s Day and got a reservation a week prior with no problem. Food was good but came out warm vs fresh/hot. Not sure if that was because it was a busy night but was expecting more for the pre we paid. Would give them another shot in the future on a less busy night.“

“My husband and I had a night out last night and the atmosphere and meal at the new Eden Prairie location was impressive. The Smoked salmon salad was one of the best salads I’ve ever had. My husband raved equally about the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Fantastic service. We used to go to Maple Grove location, it’s exciting to have a B&B closer to home.“

“Absolutely beautiful space, felt like being on vacation. Elevated takes on classic favorites. Not the cheapest, but perfect place to enjoy the evening. Go for dinner and have after drinks at the Hi-Fi bar when you finish. Too notch service and friendly vibe. Can't wait to return!“

“We came as a group of 5 for dinner (work outing). I had 3 of their cocktails which were good. The steak bites were very good, I don't even like steak. Cheese curds weren't my favorite, they had seasoning in the batter and the dipping sauce had a kick. I had the fish sandwich and a side of Mac and cheese. The fish sandwich is huge. It was pretty similar to other cod sandwiches, just large. The Mac and cheese was good. I would likely go back to try the Mac and cheese pizza. Parking is never easy in that area.“

“We recently had the pleasure of using Mr Pig Stuff for our wedding, and we were thoroughly impressed by their impeccable service and delicious food. From the very first consultation to the process of working with John on the final details, the week before our big day was a pleasure. The staff was professional and attentive but also incredibly friendly, they were highly accommodating, seamlessly adapting to our last-minute changes and special requests without any hesitation. It was evident that they were dedicated to making our day truly memorable. In fact, some of our wedding guests were so impressed by Mr Pig Stuff that they were already considering using their services for their own upcoming events. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our special day!-Zakk Trudeau and Shelby Reetz“

“A great stop for Happy Hour with friends or family meal. The selections are delicious, the service fantastic! Looking forward to an outstanding Mother's day brunch. It's one of my favorite places to dine.Parking: I've always found a spot. During special mall events it be comes more of a challenge, but I have always been able to park conveniently.“

“This us a fun place. Beautiful and had kind of a classy comfortable feel. Dress up or dress casual. Food was delicious, hot and served perfect. Only complaint is prices are a bit high for the food but not so bad I won't come back. Would recommend!“

“This is our new favorite sushi restaurant! We have now been here a few times and we are never disappointed! It is never overly busy. The service is excellent. The food is phenomenal! This last time we got the sushi for two meal it is was well worth the money! We got a beautiful tray of sushi and two miso soups and salads. Everything was delicious!“

“This is a lovely spot for lunch or brunch. My third visit, with a friend who had never been before. He had a salad with crispy chicken, and I had the mushroom ravioli and a side salad, everything was really great. Our server was not super attentive, but the place seemed busy when we were there. It was easy to have a conversation, and we enjoyed the light bright atmosphere.Parking: It's in a Nordstrom in a shopping mall, so there's plenty of parking for the mall.Kid-friendliness: It's more of a grownup lunch place. I would imagine kids would enjoy something different.“

“We always have a really really nice experience here and tonight was no exception. We sat in the Bar area and Tami took wonderful care of us. The “Bad Hombre” cocktail is one of my favorites and I had been craving one. The food which is consistently outstanding was tonight as well. The Birria Tacos were so so good. Easy parking and lovely festive community atmosphere. So happy this small business is so fantastic!“

“Their beer is "ok," but the food - especially the pizza - is incredible. They do a nice job on mixed drinks and have a decent bourbon selection. As a beer aficionado, I wouldn't come back for the beer alone. However, the food and the service (and even some "live" music) give cause to this place being a good option for meeting old friends or having an enjoyable evening out of the house.“

“Wife and I had dinner here on 3/8/24. The margarita's were great. The Chicken Tinga & Carne Asada tacos were some of the best we've had and the service was great. Only down side was the noise. It was hard to carry on a conversation across the table.“

“It's small but I great Mexican spot in Long Lake. I was there for lunch and was promptly greeted. Complimentary chips and salsa can put within 3 minutes of me being seated. Their salsa has a kick and was chunkier then most places. I loved that!!!! I ordered the chimichanga with shredded beef and rice. The chimichanga was good and it came with tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. The rice I'm fairly certain was packaged rice based on the size of the peas. It was pretty good. Service was excellent. I was checked in on several times. My plate was taken away before the check was presented. I also liked they had a napkin dispenser at the table. As a chronic spiller it was nice to have extra on hand. I would go there again when in the area.“

“If you like corn, I highly recommend the polenta fries!! But be careful, because they come out piping hot, but the amazing sauces will help cool them down. Veggie lasagna was fantastic...really mad I forgot my leftovers. We've been here several times & have never left unsatisfied.“

“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.“

“The salad was delicious, the Bleu cheese dressing was Awesome.I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken was good but the Alfredo sauce was missing the cream, the garlic and the Parmigiano.I basically has a lightly seasoned butter sauce; I even had my wife try it to get her opinion. Her pasta dinner also was bland.It's possible that Axel's may Excell as a Steak and Seafood house but pasta is definitely Not their strongest meal choice.“

“Had a really nice service/bartender his name was Owen thought he was a little young but he was able to remember the movie where Danny DeVito played character named Owen from Throw Momma from the Train he is really polite and so was the young lady that did the cleanup afterwards and the young lady that told me about the food and big shots out to Michael from Nike Wellness Outlet in the Ridgedale mall he's the one that directed me to Tavern Grill.
