20 Best Cocktail Bars near Long Lake

“My wife and I stopped into San Pancho Mexican Restaurant in Long Lake during their soft opening and were very impressed. Although the restaurant has been around for several years, it’s now under new ownership as of mid-January by the Luna family, and the difference was immediately clear. The food was outstanding—authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care and passion. This wasn’t rushed or generic Mexican food; you could truly taste the quality and pride in every bite. The service was just as wonderful, with a sincere and welcoming host and wait staff. The restaurant has also received a beautiful facelift. It’s clean, recently renovated, and filled with bright colors and décor that give it a warm, authentic Mexican feel. We had a great meal and are excited for their official opening. We’ll definitely be back! — Hans and Keaton Frees“

“Ryan was the absolute best server that I have encountered in my life! I have an anaphylaxis food allergy. He was so on top of making sure that whatever I ordered wasn't going to be an issue. He checked with the head chef 3 different times about different entrees, so I could have the best experience. We are from out of town and will definitely be back due to the great service provided. Ryan, thank you so much for being so attentive in regards to my allergy. Tonight's experience made your restaurant, one I will always recommend.“

“Recently stopped by this super cute Tiki Bar. Great experience! The food and cocktails were awesome. Staff and servers were very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was very cool. Looking forward to hanging out on their patio very soon. I especially LOVE that they don't do the stupid and annoying QR code thing like lots of other restaurants these days. Nice to go somewhere and have an actual menu to look at and a human server who can answer questions, etc. Will definitely go back!“

“Had a great time tonight at Tequila Butcher celebrating a friend's birthday. Great food, great drinks, Ryan was our waiter, great fun!“

“First time here and I highly recommend it. Great food and big portions for your money. Will return!!“

“The service is horrible. Waited 20mins before getting someone to take just our drink order and it was the bartender from inside not even our server that noticed we were still sitting there with nothing. Then barley good service once our waiter did finally come. We all could have had another drink but never could since we werent asked till after we were done with food. Food was actually really good and good portions for the price. But the service ruined it. I can't recommend this place and don't know if we will back. Plenty of other places with good food that actually have good service.“

“Food is amazing and so was our server Abraham!“

“You won’t go wrong here. They’ve figured it all out.“

“Stopped by for dinner on a coworker's recommendation while visiting out-of-state for business. To my tastes, this is the overall best dining experience I've had anywhere. Top notch food, top notch service, excellent views of the lake, and a nice steel drum band while I was there.“

“Delicious food and fun atmosphere!“

I never believed it until I was helped and cured of my 3 years genital herpes with natural herbal medicine from Dr MOMOH which he sent me to drink! his natural herbal meds saved me and my family from herpes by curing the virus permanently and I'm so grateful for this. You can also get help from this great and powerful Herbalist“

“Was at Moes's Char House Chanhassen with Sarah Morgan . Pulled $250 in Pulltabs. The waiter, an Excelsior Dufus, would not let me use 3 credit cards, he demanded cash. I tipped him $30 and then the manager yelled at me for shorting the tab. $50 in cash had gone missing from the table as the Excelsior Man giggled at me. I tipped him $30 more and left. Don't go to Moe's Char House!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service at The Tavern Grill – Minnetonka What a wonderful dining experience! From start to finish, everything flowed beautifully — even with a surprise 20-top arriving while we were there. Our server, **Sam**, was EXCELLENT!!🌟 She handled everything with grace, professionalism, and a warm smile that made us feel genuinely cared for. Her timing, attentiveness, and positive energy elevated the entire evening — she’s a true gem and a reflection of great hospitality. We were also so impressed by the **manager**, who personally stepped in to bring out our appetizers with such kindness and professionalism. It showed true leadership and teamwork — and we noticed! 👏 The food was delicious, the atmosphere vibrant, and the service absolutely top-notch. Thank you, Tavern Grill team, for going above and beyond to make our evening special. We’ll definitely be back — and asking for Sam! 💛🙌“
