"In 2013, Chris Montana had the wild idea to start a distillery. A lawyer by trade, he thought he could build a business in the city he was fond of that would impact his family for generations to come. It's not just one spirit that his distillery, Du Nord, does well—L’etoile vodka, Fitzgerald gin, Mixed Blood whiskey, and two flavored liqueurs (coffee and apple) are all produced by the brand. Du Nord Distillery, whose cocktail room closed at the start of COVID-19, is currently in the midst of a massive redesign and scheduled to open in October 2021. All of Du Nord's spirits can be purchased on their website, on Drizly, and at select retailers throughout the country."

"Du Nord opened the Twin Cities’ first cocktail room in early 2015 and are proud to partner with local farmers for the grains used within. Spirits include L'etoile Du Nord Vodka, Fitzgerald Gin and Apple Du Nord, and an apple liqueur perfect for fall. The cocktail room is simple and comfortable, with lots of seating where a group can easily pass an evening with a rousing game of Cards Against Humanity and a few rounds of seasonal pours." - Joy Summers

This is the first time I had brewed coffee cocktail with Whipped cream on top. Amazing drink. People who like coffee will love this drink. I did not know that this a hot cocktail. But I might ask the bartender to make cold press cocktail. Not a big fan of hot cocktails.

I had been here with friends years ago when the cocktail bar was open. I remembered they had amazing drinks, so I stopped in to buy a bottle of their gin before I had to leave town. I ended up accidentally crashing a private gin-making party, but everyone was so so so kind! I met the owner and the distiller, and they were truly the nicest people ever. The cocktail lounge is no longer in operation, but you can get their liquor in local liquor stores. Highly highly recommend!!!

Arrived around 4:45 on a Friday and immediately impressed with the warm and welcoming atmosphere. There were a handful of kids, some babies, and mostly grown ups. I was admittedly nervous the establishment was going to be a bit pretentious but I was so wrong. Okay, the lines did take about 20 minutes but the bartenders were moving fast and I didn't take the length of the line to be due to their inefficiency-they were making craft cocktails and you can't rush the perfection of the drinks they made. We ordered Parkway to be delivered and enjoyed some pizza while enjoying our beverages. I really enjoyed my experience and look forward to returning!

Good cocktails. It was a bit noisy inside and it’s off the beaten path a little but it’s a cute neighborhood spot.

So grateful to have such an establishment in my neighborhood. They make very high quality spirits made with local ingredients. The tour is very interesting, the bartenders are charismatic and the happy hour prices are very reasonable. The cocktails are always evolving and fresh so every time you show up, it is an exciting new flavor.

Parking is terrible. Cocktails are good but very limited. They only serve gin, vodka, apple liqueur and coffee liqueur. Bar staff was really nice. We did the distillery tour. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. We had several drinks at happy hour too. My favorite was a gin drink with jalapeno. It kinda tasted like a spicy margarita.

Really great local distillery with some delicious cocktails. You bring / order your own food, but it has a really great, casual atmosphere that makes it great to sit and order a drink or two. Occasionally it seems like the bar is understaffed - I've been multiple times where it's taken quite a long time to get my drink, but it's well worth the wait, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to sit and wait.
