Steady Pour — Restaurant in Minneapolis

Alright Steady Pour, we see you!

I’m a little sad it took me this long to visit this adorable NE establishment, but I finally made it & I am IN LOVE. With the recent (or not so recent) boom in cocktail lounges, it can be hard to narrow down a favorite but there is no doubt that Steady Pour will soon be on the top of your list of places to go… just be sure to save a seat for me!

On a beautiful Saturday evening I was greeted at the door by a kind bartender with a breezy “go get comfy, we’ll be right over”. One look around the lounge area and I just knew I’d be here for a while. The space is cozy in the best way. The velvet couch, chairs and well spaced-out tables gives it an intimate yet not secluded feeling. The bar area and other spaces looked welcoming too, and I can’t wait to visit again to check out another seating area. The lighting was perfect as the sun slowly set and the music was pure vibes.

The cocktails were delicious – the TLC, Pickle-tini and daiquiri were some of my faves. We overheard several other parties placing orders for the popovers and once they came out, they smelled so divine we HAD to order one for ourselves. Seriously, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The popover was fresh out of the oven and so warm and soft. The honey butter stole the show. Just get it, you’ll figure it out. Since my partner and I were treating this outing as a special date-night we decided to splurge on the hummingbird cake too. Now, we both are not “cake people” but oh-em-gee this was the best cake we’ve had. Not too cake-y but full of flavor and paired nicely with our drinks. I’m excited to try some other food options next time. I wouldn’t hate seeing another vegetarian dish on the menu but I am happy there is at least one. Another huge bonus is the free parking lot!

The staff at Steady Pour was great, I never felt like I was waiting long for service and I didn’t feel rushed at all. I could have spent many more hours hanging out....

My husband and I got married at Steady Pour on December 2, 2023. We fell in love with the space from our first visit, and the outstanding cocktails and friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff sealed the deal for us to choose Steady Pour as the location for both our ceremony and reception. We had an intimate guest list of 25 people, and Ari, Zoey, and Jeff especially helped us plan to flip the space from ceremony to dinner reception. Our guests admitted to skepticism when we first shared the invite for a wedding and reception at a cocktail bar, but we are still being bombarded with praise and amazement for how wonderful and “us” our wedding was. My mom is still talking about how wonderful the staff are. We catered our dinner through Steady Pour as well, and it was outstanding. Truly, Jeff, Ari, Zoey, Ellen, and the rest of the Steady Pour staff helped make our wedding at Steady Pour the best day of our lives. My husband and I are overcome with gratitude for Steady Pour and we wholeheartedly recommend them for hosting an event, enjoying great food, and sipping on some incredible craft cocktails. We plan to stop in as often as we can. Thank you Steady...

I will never not rave about this place! We had our wedding reception here in June 2024, and had an absolutely amazing time. Everything from beginning to end of planning was easy and so carefully curated. We felt so loved by all the staff. Jeff and Ari helped us navigate all the ins and outs of our special day and were so hands on, we felt so taken care of. Cherry on top every guest had a great time and loved the vibe, food, and especially staff. We had a specialty Old fashion of the night which was an absolute hit! Safe to say majority of our guests ended up ubering home due to having so much fun. A huge plus was the parking lot which is huge, free, and everyone could park overnight in if need be. Highly recommend everything about Steady Pour from the location to the food...
