Volstead's Emporium - Minneapolis

This used to be one of my favorite spots but it's gone downhill. I had reservation for 7pm and was seated at that time. A server didn't take a drink order until after 7:15 and we didn't even get the drinks until 7:40 (and apparently they were out ofone of the cocktails). The normal full menu is gone so we got hummus (dips) and didn't even get that until 7:50 pm. Hopefullytheir service and food get to where it used to be. Live music on Friday night saved it from a 1 star.

A fun and unique speakeasy experience. The drinks were decent but could have been improved a bit. The small food menu looked nice.

Loved this place and I would have never known where it was so thank goodness for the line of people! Cute underground location, live music, decent food, great drinks and very friendly staff! I would definitely go again. If you have reservations don?t standin the long line, go to the door, knock and let them know you have reservations.

Can't say enough amazing things about this place. The owner is amazing and saved the day. There was a mishap in communication between the bride and the staff for a reservation for 12 on a Saturday night for a wedding dinner (not their fault). 1.5 hoursbefore the ceremony I called to see if I could drop off the wedding cake only to panic when there wasn't a reservation. Theowner was amazing and worked with his staff to get us a last minute reservation. We were seated in the amazing peacock room. Thefood was great and the service was wonderfull. This place had such an amazing vibe and the decor was super fun. I won't spoiltoo much of their secrets because you should go find out for yourself.

Came here a few months ago and just remembered to review. I love these gems hidden under such humble surroundings! The fact that it was designed like a true Prohibition-style speakeasy with the inconspicuous entrance and doorman makes the experience feeltaboo but so much fun! We were visiting Minneapolis and had to come check it out. They did not disappoint! The space has been sobeautifully curated. It's got a sexy, intimate feel to it. It was perfect for our out-of-town date night! Drinks were fabulousand the food was good but if I were to come back, it'd be for the drinks, for sure! Definitely check this place out!
