Copperwing Distillery — Restaurant in Saint Louis Park

Summary: Nice 'chill' tasting room that's fairly small and cozy. Tasty unique drinks that are spirit-forward enough to give you a sense you're at a distillery, but mix-y enough if you're not into it.

I visited in the early afternoon, not a normal cocktail hour for most.. but I was on my bike and in need of refreshment.

The tasting room is nice. Small, cozy, and warm feeling. A few booths, a few tables, a few places at the bar.

The folks at the bar seemed friendly enough. I saw multiple people engaged with them and having a grand time. I was in a booth playing a board game with my wife while we sampled their drinks.

A solid selection of beverages to on that day. Spirits across the board. I chose two gin drinks, my wife picking their signature Vodskey. Creative and varied.

The bartenders themselves seemed a little unsure. The drinks were totally fine, but by the way they were constantly checking their lists for recipes made it seem like they were just getting used to the place. Then again, it could have been due to a frequently changing menu. To determine that, I'll have...

Though difficult to find, once found, you'll be glad you did. The speakeasy-esq nature of the bar is anything but pompous. The staff are knowledgeable about their product and not condescending to patrons who have questions. All alcohol is distilled on site and if you have ever been to a brewpub, you'll recognize the setup. Inside is cozy and can be considered small. If you are looking for a relaxed place to unwind and enjoy a craft cocktail and don't want to have to dress like like a flapper, this may be for you.

Pros: Tasty cocktails, knowledgeable friendly staff, pre-mixed to-go cocktails!

Cons: Small seating area, tends to be loud inside, hard to find.

If you don't want to hang out in the bar, they sell many of their cocktails bottled and ready to serve. Take it home and enjoy on your couch. They also sell their booze so if you want to, you can pick up a bottle and take it home and create your own craft cocktails.

I Recommend the strawberry gin. Forgot the name of the cocktail but it was dangerous...

Here from out of town, We were planning on having a date night here and were excited to try their Vodskey Mule and order a pizza along with some of the other drinks. The gentleman who sat us said he would get our drink order in just a moment. Also made the comment to the table next to us that he was partial owner. Sat there for 20 minutes before finally leaving to find somewhere that would like our business. It's rare i leave a negative review but this was the first I've ever experienced something like this and it completely ruined our night. I've been to dive bars that had better customer service. For $9-$11 drinks the level of service was completley...
