I hosted a private dinner for 14 people in May 2022 and Jeri made it a memorable and special evening! It was absolutely perfect and we have memories to last a lifetime. I'm attaching a photo because they let us add a little decoration as well, so you can see how fun the space looks. The food was amazing (steak, chicken, salmon, cheese board, veggies) and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. I would give extra stars if I could. Bravo to the kitchen and Jeri!

Trapeze is the private space for Barbette and it is a great and reasonable space for a small private gathering. We hosted a brunch and the pastries were delicious. The mimosas were really good. We got The salmon and cream cheese as a starter. Simply delicious. Nice place for a private gathering out.

CLOSED. Website still let us book a reservation, which was odd. It just made us a reservation at Barbette. We decided to get a glass of bubbly -- they didn't even have champagne! There was a cava and à crémant de Loire but no Champs, which was the whole reason we came. Cheese board wasn't well balanced in terms of bread to toppings ratio. The crémant was fairly bitter. Sparkling rosé was ok.

Hidden gem! The perfect spot for a girls night. The space is intimate, cozy, and feminine. The bartender made our experience extra fun by playing our favorite throwback pop music, bringing us dessert from Barbette (connected next door/same owner), giving us generous wine pours, and just having fun with us as we had a girls night with lots of wine and snacks. Great place for after-dinner drinks if you're not looking for the wild bar scene. This would also be a perfect place to host a bridal shower or baby shower (they do events too).

Server was extremely rude during my visit on 2/21. Asked a simple question and her response made me feel extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable which is odd because the environment seems the exact opposite. I probably won't be coming back and won't recommend it to anyone within my circle due to this poor first experience.

Was recommend this place by someone I work with and I was not disappointed! I went with a group of friends and got a table with no problem. The drinks were delicious and the small bites were big enough to share. It's located in a great area with plenty of restaurants nearby to grab dinner after. A lovely place for wine, bubbly, and cocktail lovers!

Amazing cocktails and bubbles selection! Would definitely recommend for a night out with friends. One of my favorite places to go to for drinks and apps!!

Trapeze is a jewel box of a cocktail bar. I love cozying up in the front window with a glass of wine and snack on a rainy day. Their wine list is full of unique choices (love the pet nat!) and their cocktails are inventive and refreshing. Kind, relaxed service. My only wish is that they were open every day of the week!

This review only applies to the oyster hour! We went for Oyster Power Hour and I'm pretty disappointed. The oysters were $1 each so we didn't have super high expectations, but they were sort of lukewarm(we devoured them right away). I'll give it another try with the actual menu, but given the choices of oyster hours in the twin cities, would probably not return again. Other than that, very cute place and great ambiance with a good selections of bubbles and drinks.
$1 oysters for happy hour - what more could you ask for?! This place is definitely a go-to on a Thursday-Saturday for me. They have champagne cocktails (if straight champagne isn't for you) as well as other cocktails and drinks! They also have smaller plates to share (or eat on your own ). The staff is also extremely helpful and friendly. Again $1 OYSTERS!

What a cute little hidden gem! A few of my girlfriends wanted to do a champagne bar and that's how we landed on trapeze. It's right next door to Barbette and very tiny! Probably only 20 seats in the whole place. The pink flowered wall made a beautiful backdrop for pics. They have a really nice drink list that includes some fun and creative cocktails along with lots of bubbles. I went with the unfiltered Prosecco and then followed by a glass of rose. Both were very refreshing with nice flavors. The food menu is limited but I would highly recommend the oysters. They were delicious! Very smooth and not briney at all. Some of the meats and cheese are good options but a little pricey for the portion sizes.

Need a cute place to enjoy a sparkling drink and a charcuterie plate? Trapeze is the place! Went here with a friend after eating dinner and it was the perfect night cap to the evening.
