Troubadour Wine Bar — Restaurant in Minneapolis

I would leave more stars if I could! What a great place and a great time. We were looking for a fun way to celebrate a friend’s significant birthday and decided to look for a venue for a wine tasting. Having this intimate setting and being able to bring in a few elements to personalize the space for the Birthday Girl was fantastic. Logan made things even more special for us. He changed the color of the under bar lighting to match our theme and asked what kind of music the Birthday Girl liked. Those touches made things even more special for us.
