Big fan. Craft cocktails at a price that match the town size. Almost want to give a bad review so it doesn't become too crowded. Great place.

10 stars, this place is awesome. I would never have expected to find this quality of cocktails in rural Minnesota. What a lovely experience, we will be back!

Incredible drinks and food- I'm still thinking about the South Side cocktail with strawberry puree every single day. And the cheese pizza is heavenly! Wonderful atmosphere and the owner and staff were great! Would highly recommend to anyone and easily worth the trip from the Twin Cities!

We had a great experience at the Botanist. It is located in a historical building. They have a great selection of cocktails with descriptions to choose from. There are N/A options, including ice cream shakes that the kids enjoyed. They periodically have themed menus also. The night we were there, it was a Harry Potter themed menu. This is a unique place in a small town, so don't be sticker shocked $$. They were also advertising for a murder mystery night that you can do with a group of friends.

My husband and I had heard of The Botanist from some people traveling from the cities who happened to stop at the brewery in our town, so we went to celebrate our anniversary. If we could've stayed there all day, we would have. The atmosphere was spectacular - it's a restored bank building that looks like a high-end cocktail bar you'd expect to see in a large city. Adam (the owner/bartender) was so personable and made incredible drinks - he told us not to bother with the menu and just asked what we liked. He made me a hibiscus gin martini and then a hibiscus aviation. My husband had some whiskey sour and sage drink that he loved. The pizza was excellent, too! The bar started to fill up as we were there, and we had a great time just talking to the other people there. The Botanist is somewhere completely unexpected for a super small town like Mountain Lake, but it is absolutely worth the drive if you're not from around there.

I love the fact that we have a wonderful upscale bar in our small community! Adam is so friendly and knowledgeable! I have participated in 2 mixology courses, and learned a lot! The food and drinks are very delicious! I highly recommend this place if you're looking to relax in a fun yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Real deal quality craft cocktails at very reasonable prices. See their classics menu for traditional cocktails like a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Negroni or Vieux Carre. Or, check out their specialty menu for a rotation of fantastic and fun house recipe cocktails.

What an amazing place. I love how amazing the drinks were and how Adam was able to customize the drinks as per what you were felt like drinking. He is such a good mixologist. Our group had an amazing evening. I am sure we will be back again.
