O'Shaughnessy Distilling Co.

We had the most amazing time hosting our TWIN Cities NACE (National Association of Catering and Events) here this week. Not only did the food and craft cocktails (and mocktails!) blow us away, the service was top notch and the space it truly BEAUTIFUL. Our tour guide for the distillery tour made it SO FUN! Thank you for putting on such an amazing evening!

We were seated in a very cozy spot on a Friday evening when it was fairly busy without a reservation The server was so kind and helpful. She had terrific recommendations. The food was fantastic! We loved the brussel sprouts and the lobster roll. Great ambience, great service, great food. A bit pricey but worth it.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding with 60+ guests in the Potato Bar (upstairs private room). The space was absolutely amazing, but the service, food and drinks were truly next level. In selecting a venue for our reception, we prioritized food over anything else. During our pre-event tasting, the exec chef came out to introduce himself and learn what we were looking for. After about 30 minutes of discussion, we ended up pivoting the whole menu. Our expectations were exceeded on our event day. Everything turned out fabulous and our guests commented it was the best wedding food they'd had. The staff was extremely attentive and knew the exact moments to pull aside me or my bride (particularly when I was getting too socially overloaded)! We would have our wedding there again in a heartbeat and not change a thing. Thank you, O'Shaughnessy for making our wedding day truly special! (Photos to be added soon)!

This distillery is awesome! They have good food, good drinks, and a great tour! Irish + Bourbon is my absolute favorite thing to come out of O’Shaughnessy Distillery

We enjoyed our appetizers and entree as well as the whiskey flight. Great interior decor and ambience. Relaxing environment for an after work cocktail.

We did a family night out here where we did a reserved whiskey tour/tasting as well as dinner afterwards. It was such a wonderful experience! The tour was really interesting, our guide was fantastic, and the tasting was great. The food afterwards was also great. The Brussels sprouts, caramelized onion dip, and the ravioli were some of our favorite items! I also loved the smoked maple old fashioned. We can’t wait to come back with friends!

Wow! Where to begin. Courtney, Hannah, and the team helped me put on an exceptional event in their private room; equipped with full AV, tons of great food and drinks, and private tours of the distillery (which..my customers LOVED). They even helped me ship out a package last minute to my next event destination. I couldn't recommend hosting an event here more. In addition - the space in general is just WOW! What a vibe. My clients couldn't stop raving about it. We will be coming back!! Tell everyone you know.. this is THE PLACE!

I’ve only had drinks here, never tasted the food. But the drinks are AMAZING! Being a bourbon lover, I tend to pick the bourbon drinks-so their Old Fashioned and Beorn were super delicious! Tried the haystack, interesting-overall good, but I wouldn’t order it for myself. Also tried the Prospect-another super delicious cocktail!! Overall, can go wrong with a delicious cocktail at this place! Staff is wonderfully nice, ambiance and decor is stellar! (The bathroom is amazing!) Highly recommend!

I hosted a group business dinner here recently and the service was exceptional. Lovely building, clean, and great drinks! I look forward to hosting another event here. Thanks Andy and team!

On a trip to town my friends suggested we check this spot out. We met for an early dinner and I was super impressed with the vibes this newer distillery presented. The industrial vibes, and darker interior was complimented by the high tops and bar. The bar back was hidden behind doors which was a really cool way to keep a clean/crisp front to the entire bar. We each grabbed a cocktail and most of us got the lobster roll along with some fries...and it was FANTASTIC. It might actually have been better than the drink. Or I may have been really hungry. But I'd like to go back and find out which. Either way, I think I'd be very happy.

I have been going to O'Shaughnessy since it opened. It was too convenient not to try, located as it is next door to Surly Brewing and a short walk from Malcolm Yards (it's especially dangerous now that they have opened a path directly between the Surly yard an the O'Shaughnessy patio). I have been to O'Shaughnessy for trivia, for Derby parties, for birthday parties, for dinner and for whiskey tastings, and none of them disappointed. I am not a whiskey drinker, but the tasting experience was awesome and out guide very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole ambiance of the tasting room was fantastic- you think you are entering some sort of castle basement, but with more comfortable furniture and better lighting. The food has always been great. "Small plates" is misleading, as it is very easy to make a complete dinner out of the Caramelized Onion Dip, Smoked Whitefish Spread, fries, and Scotch Egg. Oh, but then there are the handhelds! (Lobster Roll, yum) And the mains! And bring back the lobster mac! Don't even get me started on the desserts. I have never had a bad plate of food there. And the cocktail menu not only changes regularly, but it can be different depending on whether you are sitting upstairs at potato bar, in the main dining room, or on the patio near the drink truck. My only complaint is that sometimes I fall in love with a cocktail, and then come back and it's not on the menu anymore (Fujinobu, rosemary gin cocktail, RIP), but the upside is that I always get to try something different, rather than ordering the same favorite every time because it's just too good. Highly recommend for both food and drink, or as part of an all-day excursion to the area.

I really enjoyed my time here! There is a parking lot located around the building (I made the mistake of parking on the street, the lot is not readily visible). I ordered the Bourbon and Honey Glazed Steak Tips and French fries with aoli and ketchup, and the mocktail version of the Fleurdally, as well as the Salted Caramel Cheesecake. First and foremost, the steak tips were AMAZING. I love the sauce, and asked if they sell it (they don't). I'm definitely coming back for more of these - my only complaint is that I want MORE! The fries were nice and crisp, and the aoli was delicious. The ladies that accompanied me liked it so much, they ordered their own with their entrees. The Fleurdally was nice, but a little sweet - I hear that can happen with mocktails, though, so I plan on going back for the full version to compare. Last but not least - the Salted Caramel cheesecake. Holy guacamole. This was heavenly, just the right amount of sweet without being overpowering. I also loved the popcorn that they have on the side. Our server was attentive, and overall the atmosphere was relaxed, but still nice enough to feel special for a friend's birthday!

This place is incredible! I had no idea this place was here. I was in town for work and while nextdoor at Surley Brewing, another amazing establishment when our waiter suggested we check out O'Shaughnessy Distillery. The place is upscale and gorgeous. The craft cocktail list is extensive. Bar tenders were friendly and informative. This place is definitely on now my list whenever I'm in Minneapolis.

I came here during a yelp event and have been here several times with friends. Every time I come, the drinks are great! The service felt fast and knowledgeable on their beverages. The ambiance is a really cool place to bring someone on a date, or a hang out with friends for some fancy vibes!

Happy hour offerings (food wise) have scaled down to chips & dip and flatbreads. It's a slight bummer but the ambiance well makes up for it. Even with arriving at 5pm (right when they open), I was pleasantly surprised to see the parking lot well on its way to being half full already. Clearly enough people have whiskey happy hour on their mind! ;)

I'll preface this by saying I'm a 100% American Whiskey girl. I've always preferred the flavor over Irish. I drink a lot of whiskey and I've been to a lot of distilleries. I've come here a few times with friends for drinks and a tour, but never food so this is not a complete review. The ambience is classy in an old warehouse with a big parking lot in Saint Paul. The behind-the-scenes distilling rooms were immaculately clean and the copper stills are a sight to behold! The tour guide was great & thorough, and the service is always pleasant. I appreciate their innovation and trying to bring a unique product to market. My friends love the place and their food. I haven't been swayed by the Irish American blend, but it's definitely an experience to try out and decide for yourself!

Updated review, they still rock. So consistent. This time around I did the standard old fashioned and also the Beorn which is their Irish + Bourbon, Burnt Honey, Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters. Such a fun and flavorful twist on the traditional old fashioned. Service to phenomenal as well!

Fun variety of cocktails and nice space with attentive service. Also really liked the chips and dip!

I've been wanting to dine at O'Shaughnessy for a while, decided to celebrate Galentine's day there. It was snowing, but the staff was out shoveling which was nice. The distillery is beautiful. Large windows, views of the stills and barrels with dim lighting. Our reservations were at 7:30, we were seated right away at a small table near the window. Because it was our first time they brought out tastings of the house whiskey and bourbon. The bourbon was young, but not bad. We had the Brussels sprouts to start. They were excellent. But that's where the good dining ends. I ordered the fish and chips, the first round was ice cold and soggy. My sister had the vegetable sandwich, which was okay but bland. The cocktails and mocktails were tasty. I would go back for those but not the food.

We were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday over at Surly and he wanted a nightcap here. It's a quick walk over and has great ambiance. When you enter you have an immediate sense of calm due to the low lighting and decor. He enjoyed the Belfast coffee which was suggested by our server. That was one of the best coffee drinks I've tasted. Would caffeinate here again!

I found this gem from a Yelp event and I had a great time. They have an adjacent parking lot with street parking also available. The service was great. The booths look large and they also have the view of inside the distillery in the back. We ordered a few things from the menu and I was quite surprised how good the the food was. I would definitely recommend!

Yes please !! This place is part of the ( Trifecta ) we call it here , start at Malcolm yards walk here or drive over and I next is this fun distillery!! And surly brewing co next door ! Fun place to host wedding event upstairs or private parties !! Great food !! And amazing staff !! This place is an A plus ! If it's a first date or friends and fam ! I would highly recommend !!

Stopped by here for a later than usual bite and drink after a show downtown. Plenty of parking, big open space with plenty of seating on tables and couches. Big screen TV was playing the gophers / Michigan game. We got seated and got waters right away. The server was very helpful with questions we had and provided useful recommendations. They are known for their whiskey so I ordered a whiskey flight and the wife ordered a cocktail. We also ordered some food. Didn't feel like full entrees so ordered a couple of appetizers and a flatbread. BOURBON & HONEY-GLAZED STEAK TIPS - These were tender and the bourbon / honey sauce was very tasty and flavorful. Really good accompaniment to the whiskey. CAPRESE BRUSCHETTA - One of the best bruschetta we have had in the cities. The pistachio pesto with the balsamic glaze and the burrata and perfectly toasted bread had a great mix of textures and flavors. The creaminess from the burrata mixed with the tanginess of the glaze and tomatoes and freshness of the pesto all blended together for a delicious bite. MARGHERITA FLATBREAD - A good flatbread. Nothing out of this world but a solid flatbread. I would be visiting this place again for the food and the whiskeys for sure.

This is one of my fave place. The foods are amazing and the whiskeys are even more amazing. I can't believe there is a place like this, one that I can call local!!! Definitely the hidden gem of twin cities. Every time I came here, I'm never disappointed in ANYTHING. Gorgeous sexy place - checked Service - Exceptionally Checked Ambiance - classy and cozy (like your rich uncle's (that you like) cozy library Foods & Drinks - Checked checked checked You can't go wrong here, either going on a date, celebration, just another wednesday night, you'll be happy. This time, we were hanging out at the bar and met 2 exceptional bartender. Cody that is an expert of all things herb-y & fermentation process etc and Sabrina that is a (you guessed it) whiskey connoisseur (watch out she has expensive tastes), These 2 really made our night, and we def. learnt a lot from them.

FOOD/DRINKS: While I cannot say I am a whiskey connoisseur, this place was awesome! My friends gave the whiskey raving reviews, but my key like pie cocktail was phenomenal. Not to mention to bruschetta was some of the best I have had. SERVICE: Our waitress was super nice and offered us all a free sample of the whiskey for being a first time customer! AMBIANCE: The inside looks awesome! I took a walk around the building and there were a lot of fun nooks. We sat in really big, fun booths- perfect for a large group. The outdoor patio is also really cool, and even has some yard games. LOCATION/PARKING: Really cool location next to Surley Brewing. A little bit outside of the city, but worth the drive. The parking lot is massive, so you'll never have to worry about street parking.

I can't say enough about our evening at O'Shaughnessy. We sort of did the "whole package," meaning we took a tour of the distillery, we participated in a tasting, we had drinks, and then we had dinner. All of those experiences were amazing. I'll start with the tour. While I've been on numerous brewery and winery tours, I've never toured a distillery. This tour was excellent; not only was the tour guide knowledgable and personable, but he obviously is very passionate about distilling and it showed in the quality of his presentation. The tasting was also extremely well done, and while you will taste spirits from other distilleries (since this place is so new that their first batch has not finished aging yet), we really enjoyed that part too. I can only hope all distillery tours are this good. As part of your tour, you will have the opportunity to buy a voucher for an old fashioned cocktail and a food menu item for a very discounted rate. I would *highly recommend* you do this unless you just don't drink at all. Dinner was phenomenal. The menu is sort of a smattering of different items, but everything pairs well with whiskey/bourbon. The cauliflower is a must-try; this dish was perfectly cooked and spiced (it's a bit on the hot side). The BBQ sandwich was also good, and while I usually don't eat or like dairy-heavy dishes, the bruschetta was just light enough for me to enjoy it. Drinks were great too. I liked my old fashioned, and my wife had a non-alcoholic cocktail she liked too. Service was knowledgable and the perfect amount of attentive and friendly without being overbearing. They have a nice gift shop, and the outdoor seating ambiance is very pleasant.

Went on the distillery tour and tasting this past weekend, really impressed with their story and their facility. Hugely ambitious project to try and make MN a world player in whiskey. My favorite part (besides the tasting) was getting to see the product at each stage of distilling between the three copper stills. Our guide was super knowledgeable and really had an enthusiasm for whiskey. Definitely recommend!

Went to O'Shaughnessy for the first time to check out their decent happy hour. Very trendy space that gives off a "high back chair, cigar, and snifter of whiskey in the study " vibe. Service seems intentionally slower than most places to let you sip your drink and kill time. The clientele is a mix of leather arm patches, vineyard vines, and sales folks winning and dining. Got 2 of their old fashioneds for happy hour at $9/each and they're pretty good. Not too sweet and spirit forward. Started with the $10 mini "nordi board". Basically a lox board with some of the sharpest mustard I've had in a long time. The zucchini flat bread was pretty good. It's actually a flat bread and not just an oval shaped pizza like some places. The bread itself is like a pie crust, there's no sauce, and it's pretty bland when you don't get the cheese in a bite. The roasted cauliflower was good and rich. Perfectly cooked and fork tender the whole way through. The chermoula was good; not spicy at all and crazy rich from a lot of oil. The pickled raisins added a nice hit of sweetness to go with the salty capers and fatty relish. Overall it's pretty good but I might head next door to Surly's restaurant for food instead if I'm going here again.

Excellent service, great food and fantastic spirits. I had an old fashioned and a flight both of which were phenomenal.

Explored this place as part of a work happy hour and this is a gem!! Love the drinks and their food menu is extensive and delicious. The sauce with the roasted cauliflower is as tangy and sweet. The kettle chips were endless and made fresh. The dip for the chips was soooo good I wanted a whole jar. The zucchini flatbread had a little spice kick. The server gave great recs and explanations and worked with our big group to keep track of orders. I loved the space! It's warm and cozy and yet still airy. I came when it was snowing outside and it felt like a cabin! There's plenty of parking too!

Took some out of town guests here and it showed off Minnesota well!! Awesome hospitality and service. They brought complimentary samples of their whiskey and the food and beverages were delicious. Will definitely go back likely for Happy Hour!! HAYFIELD - Yum! SCOTCH EGG - Delicious!! BBQ COCKTAIL MEATBALLS - OK. Probably would not order them again. Happy Hour Menu: 4-6pm Tuesday-Friday $9 Old-Fashioneds, Mules, & Classics $10 Mini Charcuterie and Scandi Boards $12 Bacon & Brisket Flatbread $12 Zucchini Flatbread $6 Caramelized Onion Dip & Potato Chips

I've been here a few times since my first visit and I love this place! It is such a cool space, great food, and good drinks. This time I tried the Fujinobu and breadbasket, both good and we had a great time with trivia!

The fish had a very crispy outer breading, the breading was maybe a tad too thick but still excellent. Tartar sauce had a bit of a kick to it which was good! Som fish and chips places don't have good chips but these were great! I really liked the coleslaw they paired with the meal, it was an excellent refreshing compliment with some spicy-ness!

We went here for a quick bite and brewery tour. The food and drinks were great. We sat at the bar and I suspect people have to wait a bit for a table. The tour was awesome and involved a tasting at the end. Tons of information and really great whisky. The building is pretty cool too.

This distillery has been on our list for quite a while, and we finally paid them a visit with a group of seven. I had one of the old-fashioned selections, which was absolutely delicious. Nice selection of various drinks. My daughter-in-law is expecting so she ordered them without the alcohol. Everyone was very satisfied with their drink. One of the surprises is how good the food was. Three of us had the pulled pork tacos, and we all agreed they were excellent. One small complaint is the food came out not at the same time. Not a big complaint by our group since everyone was satisfied with their entrée. I should mention the brussels sprouts which we had as an appetizer were very good. Two in our party had fish and chips and were quite pleased. Very nice modern environment. Comfortable chairs at the table setting. You can go with sitting on sofas.

One of my fave distillery tours EVER! Appreciated how easy it was to make and pay for reservations ahead of time via Spot On. The love goes to the Distillery's staff though =D The bartenders are lively. When I say lively - I mean more humorous and entertaining than any team of bartenders I've ever come across. Hilarious considering I'm from Sin City, but it's just true. It's that "Midwest nice" hospitality that I love. On top of that, the bartenders have mad skills. Still dreaming about their Keeper's Old Fashioned. MMMmmm.... The hubby also got a snack (Caprese Bruschetta) before our whiskey tour, and just devoured it with his friends. *SIGH* I should've gotten more than a small bite from his portion. Tour was pretty cool - always love the educational element to making alcohol. Intriguing back story to the distillery too. Of course, the best part was the tasting portion, which was honestly our second tasting at the distillery. *INSERT NERVOUS GRIN* We got to taste the bourbon and rye whiskey at the bar before the tour began. It wasn't just tasting the different types of whiskey either - it was more the conversational aspect of it with our tour guide that made it memorable. Already hinting that we need to go back. Until then... We'll just enjoy the whiskey we bought to bring back home - kept nicely in our luggage.

One of the best places in Minneapolis to go out with friends, have dinner, unwind or celebrate! The O'shaughnessy Team spared no expense and ensuring that everything is quality, intentional and downright outstanding. From the quality of the ambience, to the quality of the food, to, of course, the quality of the drinks... This place is one of the best to visit in Minneapolis! I was greeted by a host who was classy and smooth Just like the drinks I'd be getting later. Order the chips and dip right away don't even think about it just do it. Not only is it reasonably priced but it gets things moving and you won't be disappointed. The service staff knows exactly what they're doing. These are not just some cheap hires, but they know their stuff And they will give you the right recommendations for what you want. The happy hour is outstanding where you will get reduced priced food and drinks, which is the perfect place to bring your coworkers to after work to let out some of that post work stress. This place is excellent for bringing in private groups and to host multiple different size groups. The unique spaces they have created will be able to comfortably seat a small group of friends in a booth to an intimate dinner and drinks with the significant other to a larger group of people at a table upstairs to even private rooms that they have to make your event special and unique. This place is teeming with history. They made sure their story and their Irish-American history is fully present which I love! From the rustic barrels to the leather stamped menu covers, this place makes you feel like you've been whisked away to an Irish pub with your friends for a good old-fashioned Irish "hooley!" They have perfectly brought together, the best of Irish, an American whiskey, making traditions! Once your drinks arrive and you're getting settled in, order the smoked cheddar and bacon, corn fritters for the table. They will go fast so order to it if you can. For the vegans a d GF people at the table or the crispy cauliflower. We also got the charcuterie which was amazing and filling. I ordered my main course which was the brisket sandwich. The brisket is a 12 hour smoked sandwich with a maple citrus coleslaw. The bun was a little bit drier than I would've liked but the flavor was perfect. I grade my bathrooms as a 5 Star Bougie (clean, pleasant, smells great, picked up, in order), 3 Star Basic (like home with the basics and equally as clean) or 1 star Bad (filthy, paper towels on the floor, sink is disgusting, smells like a toilet, etc) ... this gets a 5 Star! This place is run like a well-oiled machine. There is no compromise of quality in anything I have seen. The servers are on it, the food presentation was perfect, the drinks were garnished to perfection and ambience was just right. This place is an absolute five out of five stars, you need to get here now!

This is a big open space with tall ceilings and neat atmosphere. There is ample outdoor seating in the summer months and an upstairs level. My first visit was during the summer so it wasn't busy inside and the bartender spent time educating us on whisky and the menu. They have an extensive drink menu with great selections. The hayfield drink has been my favorite since you can taste the honey. My second visit was on St. Patrick's day so it was busy and we were able to get a table relatively quickly after putting our name in with the hostess. They have decent food. The steak tips were good. The scotch egg was ok but had tons of Dijon. Overall this is a neat place with a classy atmosphere and great drink menu and good service. Highly recommend!

With a beautiful interior and exterior to match, bountiful free parking in a lot, and delicious food and drink, O'Shaughnessy Distilling is a place that seeks to be a place where you just don't question your choices, because you know all of them are good. First off - the drink. I don't normally really enjoy whiskey, but I don't know what kind of a whiskey revolution I'm on lately because all the distilleries that I've visited recently have had some amazing whiskey. Granted, I'm drinking them in cocktails, so I'm being a bit of a wimp, but damn does this place make me reconsider all the times I automatically took out a whiskey based cocktail simply because I thought I didn't like whiskey. The Fujinobu is definitely sweet, and gave me hard key lime pie vibes with the lime, lemon, and yuzu, topped with a copious amount of coconut cream. I liked it, but definitely for the sweet tooths out there - felt like I was drinking dessert. The food was fantastic too - the calamari was served with an addicting sauce and also were perfectly fried and the squid wasn't overcooked and rubbery but instead, was soft and tender. The bacon & brisket flatbread was a winner for me - sweet, salty, savory, with a sprinkle of spice with the aji verde sauce bringing it all together as a flavor explosion in your mouth. Seriously so good. I was stupid, and off my game that night and didn't take any pictures, but you know what that means. I just have come back here. Frankly, picture or no, I'd gladly come back again because there's a big menu here to keep trying and I'll do so with pleasure.

A great spot for date night or an important celebration. It's a bit pricey so we only go once in a while but it's all great quality and unique ingredients. The setting gives an upscale-industrial vibe with the big metal staircase and brick. You can see the distillery from the dining area, super cool ambiance! There's a wide variety of seating areas: large booths, high top seating, bar seating, more casual couch areas, and an entire upstairs we didn't get to explore. I dressed a little fancier than usual and didn't feel out of place at all. It's definitely more of a place you go for drinks and small bites of food but they have a good sized menu and all of the drinks we tried were fantastic. My favorite part of the entire experience was the French Onion Dip and house made chips. You can also get extra chips if needed! We also had the charcuterie board which was a good size for the two of us. I would've liked some different bread, but the flatbread was tasty. We finished up the night with Beef Tips and they were so delicious I forgot to snap a pic. They were incredibly tender, the sauce was the perfect compliment, and the micro greens on top were a nice little pop of freshness. Overall, we had a fantastic time and enjoyed our view into the summer courtyard area from our table.

I've been wanting to try this distillery for a while now, and I'm so glad I finally did! The drinks and atmosphere made it one of my new favorite places. I can't wait to go back and try other drinks! As a first-time visitor, I got to sample both the whiskey and the bourbon. It was a fun way to start the experience. The server, Dan, was knowledgeable about both and very friendly and attentive for our whole visit. I ordered the Beorn and was very pleased with it. Others in my group ordered the Prospect and the Reynita and raved about them. If whiskey and bourbon aren't your thing, they have vodka and gin drinks as well! We ordered the fried calamari as an appetizer to share. It was tasty but not as hot (temperature-wise) as I'd expect for fried food. The flavors were impressive, though. There's a big parking lot behind the building, and it looks like they have a nice outdoor area for warmer weather.

O'Shaughnessy Distilling is a game-changer! From the moment you step in, the vibe is electric. The spirits? Phenomenal. Every sip is a flavor explosion. The staff is not just friendly, but experts in the craft. I have not had the opportunity to participate in the distillery tour, but it looks fun and something I plan to do in the near future. If you're into top-notch spirits and a seriously good time, O'Shaughnessy is THE spot. 5 stars without a doubt!

Good to great food, awesome space, great staff and better than you would expect whiskey. I'm generally not a big fan of local startup distilleries as good whiskey needs to age for several years. That is not a great business model for a small business so they tend to favor releasing spirits that aren't really ready or buying and reselling someone else's spirits until their own is ready. Else the don't have a way to produce revenue in the early years. When you see a two year old distillery selling a 10 yr whiskey you know they didn't actually make it. Tougher to determine is the younger stuff with no age statements. O'Shaughnessy does a bit of that as well, but there own whiskey is actually pretty good and not grossly overpriced like many. it's an Irish and American blend of pot (Irish) and column (Bourbon and Rye) stilled whiskey. Pot stilled is more expensive to produce whereas column is less expensive to produce. They wisely price their product to reflect the hybrid method.

Can't believe I forgot to write a review for this place. I came here couple times, one for the yelp event a long time ago. This place is right next to Surly Brewery. O'Shaughnessy is one of the best hangout places in the cities. I love their old fashioned, cocktails and their food. Delicious meatballs. The space is big and good vibe. The service is top notch. Street parking, and plenty.

Beautifully crafted cocktails with perfectly balanced flavors! Our server Ellie was very helpful in selecting cocktails to our liking and they didn't disappoint. The espresso martini was smooth and slightly sweet, with the perfect amount of coffee flavor. The pionello was smooth and tropical, with a perfect amount of spice. The bourbon Root beer Float was creamy, and the liquor complimented the ice cream in an unexpected and cohesive way. As for food, don't skip the truffle fries! They come in a good portion for sharing and are perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The margarita was thin crusted and refreshing, but definitely go for the bruschetta if you're looking for something to fill you up.

Excellent happy hour and dinner during a weeknight at O'Shaughnessy! The building is beautiful inside and very comfortable, although I must note that you feel as though you're in a sketchy part of town. Drinks and happy hour specials are great - so many wonderful cocktails to choose from! Our server was efficient and friendly enough, always ensuring our glasses weren't empty. Entrees were excellent, good flavours, with the Fish & Chips and Lobster Mac & Cheese stealing the show.

The vibes of this place are incredible. We sat outdoors and there was a lot of space for lounging, walking, and activities. They had bags set up as well! It was a beautiful place that was perfect for a chill night. Dogs are welcome! The food was pretty good, but it was pricey. The scotch egg was delicious, but was expensive for just one egg. Other menu items were delicious, but again, I wouldn't go just for the food. They even have whiskey ice cream! They do have a 20% service fee that is not exactly tip. The server explained to us that it does not include tip, and if we would like to, we would add that on ourselves. I wish they would just do the necessary price increases on the menu items and not charge a service fee. Overall, it is a fun place and somewhere you should try at least once.

Amazing place. Drinks were so yummy. Everything was a great value for the dollar. Service was excellent. I would 100% recommend for drinks and appetizers or dinner. We will definitely return.

Love O'Shaughnessy! Food and drink were great, per usual. Fairly pricey however. We always go with another couple, and sharing from their "Shareables" menu is great.

Oh my goodness, this is so good. The whiskey is so good and we are eating dinner here. We have ordered steak tips and a scandi board. The history of the distillery is fascinating. Food was good and interesting. The steak tips were perfectly cooked. The scandi board was larger than we expected. Very good.

First off, this place is stunning! They have a nice happy hour and it's a cozy place to hang with friends. Service was pretty good during our stop here. We had a big group and it was busy. We all ordered a cocktail. I wanted to try a Boulevardier here. I was hoping it would taste more whiskey forward, but it wasn't. It still tasted good with my food. A few got a mule and it looked so cute (crushed ice in a metal cup) and made me want a mint julep (I wish they had!). It was happy hour and I got an assortment: (not all on HH deals) - $4 single Mahi Mahi taco - best thing I ate here! I could have eaten the dinner! The taco was well balanced with spice and flavor. Not fishy and had good texture. Yummy! - Scandi Board - on HH menu - this was scrumptious. The smoked fish was a tad fishy.. the potato salad was so creamy. The crisp bread was plentiful too. It was exciting to make an adult lunchable. - Calamari - I'm a calamari connoisseur and the flavor was spot on and the sauce reminded us of Raising Cane's (this is a great thing!). The only downfall was the carrot slaw made the calamari soggy. It was edible but lost some of its appeal. - We came back later and got the Drunken Cherry fig Bruschetta. It looked prettier than it tasted. It was oddly savory and sweet. Almost savory dessert. I wanted to love this. The bread was soft and fluffy but this needed some crunch to it. Overall this atmosphere and for/drink are stunning and fun. I would definitely eat the tacos again and there were a few other things that looked tasty. I was able to try a handful of the other cocktails and they were pleasant and many different than your typical signature cocktail menu. Check it out!

We came here in search of a quick afternoon bite and outdoor seating. We weren't expecting much, so O'shaughnessy was a wonderful surprise. The outdoor seating area is beautiful. Our server Brady was fantastic. The food was delicious. WE SHARED: - French Fries (Some of the best fries we have ever had, so good we got a second order, both sauces were yummy and the fries, especially the second batch were crispy perfection.) - Lobster Rolls (I was wondering how good these could possibly be since we're in the middle of America... no where near fresh lobster, but they were amazing) - Chicken Skewers (Juicy flavor bombs!!! I read that the chicken skewers were dry and salty, and was bummed I'd ordered them. So glad we did, they were perfect!) - Scotch Egg (Crunchy, crispy, savory, melty yolk, and that French onion dip!!!!) - Crispy Cauliflower (It wasn't crispy, it was soggy, but it was still delicious -that sauce- but I think it'd be better just roasted maybe roasted to prep and then re-heated to serve). Sauce is life, and every sauce we had here was amazeballs. WE DRANK: - Irish + Whiskey neat (rocks on side we thought it was better neat but got to to try it both ways) - Fujinobu (when this little cloud of a cocktail came out it made everyone smile, and it was delicious) - Shirley temple (no bright red grenadine here, they've got the fancy stuff, which made a g Everything was amazing. We'd order everything that we had again. While we were outside they were testing the speakers at Surly Brewery then playing music that was loud AF. It wasn't necessarily bad... although I wouldn't have wanted to be sitting outside at Surly (I've become an old(er) person who says "turn that music down it's too loud"). I would say that when Surly is cranking the music maybe O'Shaughnessy should turn off their outdoor speakers because otherwise it's dueling music.

Get the cookies with ice cream, they make the perfect combination. So good!! This is the place to come for a night cap after going to Surly's. This place has fewer kids and allows dogs. If you have a date, this is the more intimate spot to go. Waiters were kind and attentive. They have a nice lounge area too that is great for long winter nights.

O'Shaughnessy is worth the hype. Reservations are a must. I went on a Saturday night and it's a busy spot. We didn't do the tour but could see people walking through it and it sure looked fun. My friend and I were seated on the second floor in the cool oversized Mod Men chairs at a small table. We could overlook the first floor and had a great view of the distillery. We ordered a Sconnie board and a scotch egg. The Sconnie board was DELICIOUS. I think that might have been the best smoked salmon and white fish that I've ever had. Their mustard is really good and ties all the munchies together. Their potato salad is pretty good, and the scotch egg was delicious. A bit overpriced for just one egg. But there's no dispute it was a damn good scotch egg. My friend had never had one before so it was a high bar scotch egg! The whiskey sauce and the mustard are complimentary flavors with the egg and sausage. The whiskey was delicious, we stuck to our standard preferences of a whiskey sour and a whiskey ginger. Needless to say it's a tasty whiskey and went down too easy. We stopped in the little shop afterwards for a small take home of their classic keepers heart and a little keychain for the memories. They have a parking lot in the back/ side but it was full so I parked on the street for a whopping $1.25... pretty reasonable. It's next to or backs up to Surly. We popped over there but we're too full to consume anything else and just grabbed their THC tonic to go. These two spots are probably a pretty awesome summer outdoor scene. I much prefer whiskey and bourbon over beer but with the two places nearby, all the whiny beer drinkers I hang out with can get their beer fix at the same time. This is worth the drive into "the city", it's easy to get to, hassle free parking- in the winter but I bet it's more challenging in the summer. Don't hesitate, get your Minneapolis Whiskey on at O'shaughnessy!

The whiskey tour was so much fun and very informational. The tour guide was great! He gave us a lot of knowledge. We love the food and drinks there as well. Very cool place to come and see. The ambiance is great!

Went on July 2, 2024 again. We have gone on this day for now two years to celebrate my late father's birthday. For the second year they did not disappoint. The waiter Adam was so patient with our large group and he did a fantastic job. The food was delicious and of course the drinks were amazing!! Thanks for everything and see you in 2025.

Um yeah, this lived up to the hype. I'm not even a whiskey drinker, and this just shot up to the top of my list of places to bring out-of-towners to shock and awe them. Sultry, vibey atmosphere with comfy leather furniture and a delicious menu of food and cocktails to indulge in. The interior is truly stunning: Tons of seating areas below, several on the sides that can be sectioned off for privacy, and a casual upper level woth darts and a view. Outside patio and upper level seating, too! We had excellent service from start to finish, and our server recommended some great cocktails. I had the Caislean and Payanelo, and both were EXCEPTIONAL. And that's coming from someone who doesn't drink whiskey! Most can also be made NA. Food was shockingly good, too: we enjoyed everything we ordered, but especially the chips and dip, and the meatballs. Can't go wrong on either side of the menu! Awesome spot to tuck in for a happy hour, date night, or work event. Grab a bottle of their whiskey to bring home or gift to a loved one. Next time, I'm definitely going to schedule a tour! From here, head to Surly or Malcolm Yards :)
