Terrible set up. Broken up into two separate rooms. The side that serves food doesn't let you order cocktails. The side that serves cocktails refuses to serve food. When you ask about either at the wrong side the servers give you attitude. Will not be coming back.

Tre was fantastic. The Jabberwocky punch was complex and wildly fun. A wonderful experience all around

Stopped into Minneapolis‘s latest cocktail bar. Incredibly creative menu. Both the cocktail menu and off the menu creations are top-notch.
Bartenders are fun and engaging. Food is limited at this point, but the menu will expand over time. Looking forward to coming back.

Fabulous, friendly, bartenders! Drinks were well composed and perfectly balanced. Not so strong it was obnoxious but enough that I felt a bit buzzed as I exited. ;)
Tip: Right now all cocktails are $10 between 5-6pm which is a steal!

A friend and I hung out here for a few hours the other day and we tried maybe 7 of their cocktails and every single one delighted. Incorporating exciting ingredients in ways that kept us charmed rather than feeling forced or gimmicky. To top it all off, it was great chatting with Liam as he kindly guided us through the menu. Wish reviews weren’t limited to 5 stars, I’d give em a solid 5.5 if I could

Cute little cocktail bar in the heart of Northeast! They are currently only serving cocktails - no small bites! Also, it’s fun that the cocktails served there are not available at the sister restaurant next door (Step Chld). Tried “The Siren” and “Political Heartburn” both were good - would go again!
This is what a cocktail bar can and should be. A relaxed, chill, elevated neighborhood bar atmosphere. Solid cocktails and an assortment of unique bottles of all kinds to explore. Friendly service. Good tunes.

The environment here is perfect for a quick cocktail or a longer date night. I tried the Flora of Neverland cocktail and the curry mushrooms with coconut rice. The Flora is an amazing earthy/floral drink with beautiful presentation, and the curry was simply delicious. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, this is a charming new spot in Northeast and it's absolutely worth a visit!

This place is a hidden gem. It has some great craft cocktails with a solid mix of flavor notes and spirits set in a relaxed, confidently cool bar. The bar tenders were top-notch, both knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely worth a visit.

Wildchld is a cocktail bar. It has only been open for about a month, and represents a collaboration between the distillery Dampfwerk and the restaurant, right next door, Stepchld. They have a very curated collection of liquor behind the bar, and they base their created cocktails on this. I asked for their gin cocktail that was the least sweet. I started with the Flora of Neverland, which was gin, a jasmine tea syrup, versus, lemon, and falernum. It was fine, although a bit too sweet. It had a nice herbally note. However, you should never top drinks with something not edible. My husband loved his Bone-a-fide, which starred a Dampfwerk whiskey you cannot buy, a bone marrow washed Armagnac, umeboshi, and bitters. It was complex and excellent.
Their riff on a mai tai was pretty good. It has rum, lime, toasted orgeat syrup , and spices. I had the Siren, which was particularly recommended by the bartender. It was billed as sake, apricot brandy (although they actually used an apricot eau de vie...), lemon cordial, seltzer, and something called espirit de Midi. It was a total bore.
Most of the cocktails are prebatched. That is not a bad thing, but it is hard to judge the skills of the folks behind the bar.
I will go again, but I might wait until they have changed their cocktails out of summer mode. One food item is available, a coconut rice dish.
Be warned.... University Avenue in front of this place is currently under construction, so getting there and parking is rather a pain. We were able to find a meter about 2 blocks away.

Came here on a whim for a pre-birthday dinner drink. I was blown away by the service, menu, and quality provided here. Liam served us and had us laughing the whole time. Such a great vibe and addition to the city
