Focus on Substantial Shareables

Rather than large entrees, come and enjoy a couple shareable plates for the table. We focus on local providers and great taste while making these shareables substantial enough that you won't leave hungry.

Great Cocktails

We pride ourselves on making some of the best craft cocktails in the Driftless Region. From our Cranberry Old Fashioned to our 102 Manhattan, we have a clear focus on bourbon, but with enough variety to satisfy everyone. We utilize Four Roses as our house bourbon and Tattersall (a Minneapolis/River Falls distillery) spirits for all our cocktails. And, for the Norwegian in us all, we have a variety of aquavit cocktails as well upon request.
