This place is legit top restaurants in msp, why??? Because they have talent and imagination. Any one can buy great ingredients and high end products, but can you make sidewalk grass , spruce pine , lingcod , wildrice and strawberry taste good ?(Not a real dish just something off top of my head) That's talented and worth talking about , the folks here have talent. And if your looking for adventure of the palette look no further.

We have been to the bar once before and this food wasn't the best. We had hair in the potatoes (waiter kindly apologized and gave us a free drink which was perfect, thanks!) but the the lasagna was burnt and a few other not great food bites here or there. However, that being said the trivia was fun, the atmosphere and acting really gave us a good time. In the past the food was better but I'd still go back because they constantly change their menu and the staff really is kind. I highly recommend any pop up themes they do. Halloween was still better and food more inventive. Overall, please go and have a dinner and show with some friends.

Parking: Minimal parking shared with the gym in back, about 10 spaces and only 1 handicapped spot. There is street parking around the block though.

the food is all incredible, the drinks are all creative and delicious. the atmosphere is cozy and charming and fun. but the pace of the meal is absolutely frenetic. the amount of food and drink served is just way too much to consume, let alone enjoy, in 90 minutes. A slowed down timeline of 2 hours or more would've made this a 5 star experience.

We went and had a great time a while ago, so we were excited for another unique and delicious experience...but the prices have outmatched the experience. Clearly this is only meant for those with gobs of disposable income.

My partner KT and I went here for the spooky season event. Everyone was dressed up and used names like Chefry Daumer. All the food and drinks were of some variant of monster related fluid, flesh or bone.Beyond the ambiance and themed accoutrements, the flavor combinations where for the most part unique and well it together.Can’t wait to come back for another experience.

you will never have a bad time at Travail Basement Bar. this was our fourth visit and they just seem to get better with time. I always cringe a bit at the price when I'm making my reservation, but the experience never fails to remind me of why it's completely justified. run, don't walk.

What an awesome and amazing experience. The cocktails were delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and unique. The food was so very good. I could eat the seafood roll everyday for a year and still be excited about it. If you can, go, treat yourself, you won't be sorry.

Went to the haunted basement, everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Exceptional form beginning to end. Perfect service, food, drinks and so much fun! And I love that they spent the time to create a lovely NA flight to cater to non-drinkers. Everything is done in a thoughtful manner.

This place is so much fun! Highly recommend. We visited during the New Orleans theme and loved every minute of it. It was my husband's birthday and they brought him out a fun birthday cake shot. However, unless you can still drink like a college kid, plan to not drive after. It is a lot of alcohol in two hours, even with the food pairing.

As is expected from the Travail brand, no detail was too small. Seeing their name etched in ice for the toki high ball was just the beginning of an excellent journey through their imagination of whiskey drinks and the delectable selection of bar food.Travail has never failed to deliver an amazing experience everytime I come to visit the Twin Cities.
