Love that the menu changes. If the aerated cheesecake or the rabbit saddle w/ sausage comes back, order it! Brunch is delicious, the live music makes it very unique, the building is a gem.
Albert MAugust 23, 2014Atmosphere: excellent, jazz band, live music. Food: great, the lamb is excellent. Overall it's a great restaurant with very good service, good food and super good music!
City PagesMarch 27, 2013The opposites-attract concept has never been so deliciously extreme. An eclair with chewy maple-glazed pork is dressed with creamy, sharp cheddar cheese & stuffed between slices of a sugary bun! Read more
Chase MaxwellSeptember 19, 2015Fantastic, albeit pricy, cocktails. Beware the strength of the cocktails! All proceeds from the cover charge go to the musician, which is a laudable model. Fantastic ambience—perfect for dates.
EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014The wings are frenched to resemble lollipops, cured in a mixed-spice dry rub, smoked over hickory wood, then flash-fried and garnished with green-tomato chutney and smoky barbecued carrots. Read more
Lisa PercyFebruary 16, 2014Colonel Mustard! Drink menu was outstanding. I loved the For His Majesty. The Salty Caramel Macarons are to die for. I want to go back for the 10 course meal at the chef's bar.
The Pickle Jar is the original from the PickleBarrel 500, and only $6! Value!
Good selection of whisky and cocktails. Food is spendy and if it’s busy on a show night you’re sort of fending for yourself. Come for the outstanding music.- Lynn StudenyFebruary 10, 2015I ate at the Icehouse for the first time on Saturday. Great atmosphere and the steak skirt was excellent. Overall, very impressed. Would defiantly recommend and go again.
- City PagesAugust 5, 2014The concept behind the new Icehouse was to create a fun-for-all restaurant and music venue on Eat Street, with a chef-driven menu of imaginative, elevated small plates. Read more
Peter EklundFebruary 22, 2020Never had the food, but their $6 mini cocktails are fantastic! Try the one with absinthe, it's amazing. Great venue for slam poetry
Thursday nights they have a surprise five dollar food item and three dollar drink so be sure to ask what it is that night! Strong drinks so you get your money's worth. Great service-Tim is the man.
GuyApril 12, 2015A Negroni, Aperol in place of the Campari. Talk to the bartender about Cocchi Vermouth di Torino vs Kina Lillet.
Heavy TableJuly 25, 2012The trio of cured salmon is fresh, silky, and served with a kick-ass dill, rye, and anchovy marinade. Be sure to order the bourbon caramel sundae to top things off. Read more
Amanda B.March 4, 2014Splurge and get the $10 foie gras add-on to the burger. Even if it's lunch time. It was the best burger I have ever had!!
The pork cutlet at lunch is amazing! Little apple slaw and brie. I do no bun and salad instead, but it's still delicious! Great brunch on weekends too!
Georgia AnsleyDecember 4, 2015Such an amazing place for brunch and live music. The food is amazing and everyone is very friendly.
- Jay JacksonSeptember 5, 2019Great, creative food. Wonderful craft cocktails, i recommend the icehouse rocks for $6. Also a great music venue. Win - win!
Mpls.St.Paul MagazineDecember 18, 2012Best Hipster Hangout: New School 2012: Here’s how you know you’re in the right place: The walls are fragrant cedar, the drinks have clever names, and the servers are mustachioed. http://bit.ly/UPfToG- City PagesNovember 13, 2012Voted City Pages top ten craft cocktail bars! The drink menu goes on for days, with every sort of classy cocktail, from frilly girly drinks to the Robert Mitchum whiskey collection.
John EichtenApril 10, 2013Apparently Tuesdays with Bunny Clogs are either Date Nights or Girls Nights Out here. Awesome sound system designed by music mixer Jay Perlman!
The craft they put into the space, the food and the drinks is amazing. Grab a seat on the far side of the balcony for the best seat in the house.- Arielle LenoxJuly 5, 2018Such a cool atmosphere with great live music. Good spot to go for dinner and hangout all evening!
Abby Anderson JonesMay 28, 2015Love the Bloody Marys here! Great brunch menu, including brunch sandwiches.
The Satan Laughs and Spreads His Wings is delicious for sipping. Stronger than it tastes, for sure.. You'll feel it in the morning if you have too many!
Awesome Reuben. Fantastic brisket sandwich. Great veggie burger. Awesome service. Matt and Brian are great!!!!!!!Awesome customer service
- City PagesJanuary 30, 2015Best invention since sliced bread! The Sipping Shot is too big to be tossed back, but to little to be an overpriced cocktail. Read more
Angela ChangJune 30, 2013Never leave this place without ordering the apple pie. One of the best in town :)
Nathaniel HoodAugust 3, 2013Excellent environment. Great setup. Creative drinks. Slow service, but the blame goes to the waitress, not establishment. Certainly recommended.
Get any slice of pie for dessert. You won't be disappointed.
Adrienne WDecember 15, 2013Sipping shots are amazing. A local beer + a sipping shot = ideal Gentleman's Set
Awesome vegetarian food you should try, even as a meat-eater.
Stephen KoontzNovember 24, 2014You go there for the good local music and you're surprised by the quality of food
Nathan MoralesJune 16, 2012How is this place not packed? A $5 cocktail list by Johnny Michaels should be at the top of your craft cocktail must sees!- Stephen KoontzAugust 29, 2014Mustaches everywhere. I feel like noting this as a hipster hangout is the least hipster tip I could leave.
Leah MicheleDecember 9, 2012Great space, great sound system for live music. Casual atmosphere. Less than stellar service, though.
Great music and sound, try several of the delicious cocktails for $5, delicious oysters n shrimp po' boy!
Olives: you get about 70-80 really good olives. Most still have pits. The marinate is great.
Have a blushing belle for a late night sweet treat. Leave your lips luscious for those good night kisses.
Rachel MusolfJuly 6, 2012Service = not great. But good sippin shots rocks style. Hopefully will get better in a few months. Hopefully the music will get better as well... Atmosphere is different & enjoyable.
