The Brass Hat — Restaurant in Waconia

Love going to Brass Hat. The drinks are incredible, the food there and at Bode Grey's is amazing, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. My favorite drink is the smoked old fashioned, but there's so many others that are fantastic too. I try to find any excuse I can to stop by for a drink and bring family and friends to introduce them, too!

I also just want to give a quick shout out. Last night, I brought my extended family from out of town to Brass Hat. When we got there, the place was very busy and they had maybe 15 min where they were totally slammed. Because of this, there was a little mix up with getting our drinks. When I went to the bar to ask, they were incredibly apologetic and jumped in quickly to make the drinks. They went above and beyond to make it right, ensuring that we were well taken care of the rest of our time there. It was a minor mistake but as someone who's worked in customer service, I know it can feel really stressful to have even minor issues that pop up - especially when it's really busy. I really appreciated the staff's response and hope the owners and managers should know that the team on last night was fantastic.

We can't wait to continue to support Brass Hat and...

We went here on a Friday night to watch live music and have dinner/drinks. It was busy but we luckily snagged a table. I’m a gin girl and both their gin cocktails were awesome, and I also tried a tequila one that I loved. We all really enjoyed our meals too, and thought the portions and prices were good. The basement speakeasy vibe was fun and the wide open set up was great for music. Our server offered to split our bill (in reference to other reviews which claimed they don’t) and she worked so hard all night to keep up with the fully occupied tables....

We stopped in after a lovely Italian dinner at Bode Grey’s. If the building that houses both was a house, Bode is the front entrance and The Brass Hat is the basement walkout behind. This place is a hoot! The staff is fun and engaging, the drinks were top notch, mixing flavors & fun holiday themes. The speakeasy is dark and mysterious and we went during the Holiday season so the overlay was a scream complete with Grinch and A Christmas Story themes everywhere. Dark atmosphere, campy lights, an ominous Octopus behind the bar- grab a hideous Christmas...
