Okay if you have read any of my other reviews then you know that this is going to be a good one too haha! If you have never visited public domain better yet, if you have never been to a place that specializes in drinks made to you then I'm going to need you to grab a friend grab your significant other and head on down and go check my boy Miles out! Now the drinks that are pictured please don't ask me what they were because he came up with some stuff that all I know is they tasted good they were good and if he were to be able to duplicate whatever he did that would be amazing because every last one of them will come out something different. A friend and I wanted to go out have a glass of wine or a cocktail and we decided well let's just try this out something new and different and the video got cut short so hopefully whatever you guys get will suffice, but it was all very very good very good!!! We did share the appetizer platter and it was just enough for two people where each person got about two of each of every item on the platter and then to top it off with the drinks was just enough. The atmosphere was definitely on point the later it got we didn't notice that the music went up more so it didn't make for talking to one another a little bit more difficult and that was maybe about an hour and from when we got there around about 6:00 7:00. The coconut shrimp was so good though honestly everything was just surprisingly good The chicken they try to do I guess they'll take on the Korean barbecue chicken it wasn't bad but it was a little bit of a miss. But nevertheless You just got to try it! Now of course you're reading this and all I'm doing is just boasting but how it works is the bartender will ask you what are your typical drinks your go to when you go out if it's wine if it's a spirit if it's a cognac and from there he may ask you some other questions about yourself and from there he concocts a drink specifically to you. So as vague as it may seem sometimes simple is what works, don't overthink it just go with an open mind go with fun and a good time and trying something new. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and again hear the pictures and the little video of what we had 😊😁💜

No menu, no problem. Drinks are an alchemy of your whims and the bartenders’ skill—a novel Twin Cities experience that I’m excited to return to. 3/3 drinks were a hit at the table, and the cod fritters: quite delicious.

I cannot recommend this place more. This is hands down the best cocktail bar in the Twin Cities and is comparable to the elite cocktail bars we’ve been to in NYC and SF. If you like actually good cocktails, you *must* come here. Plus, you...Read More

1st time there since their re-launch - enjoyed the service and custom cocktail creations. Food menu is a light menu, perhaps needs a little more attention to make this 5 star. Service was great, cocktail masters explained the drinks and ingredients. Something...Read More

Fantastic little spot. Custom drinks from bartenders that are truly craftsmen/women. They did a great job of taking what we like and crafting drinks that were both new but also spot on. Great vibe and very cozy. Will definitely return!
