Italian pastas, craft cocktails, and happy hour bites served
"A new Italian spot in Northeast with staples like fried polenta and arancini and a menu centered on pastas, including dishes such as blueberry-ricotta-filled agnolotti and orecchiette with wild boar and beef meatballs. The restaurant replaced the Sonder Shaker and is run by the same team." - Jeffy Mai
"The Sonder Shaker, serving burgers alongside green curry mussels and grilled peach salads, has the feel of a modern American brasserie. Happy hour bites (think karaage and surf-and-turf tacos) are served alongside cocktails on Fridays and Saturdays, from 10 p.m. to midnight." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"Sonder Shaker, just across the river from Nicollet Island in Minneapolis, has a hearty happy hour food menu: Fill up on a wagyu burger, surf ‘n turf tacos, or pork sliders. If you’re looking for something lighter, try the strawberry poppy seed salad. (Note that this isn’t the cheapest happy hour — most dishes are around $12.) Two dollars off all cocktails, beer, and house wine by the glass, daily from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 10 p.m. to midnight. On Sunday, happy hour runs all night." - Alex Lodner, Eater Staff
"I read that Sonder Shaker in Northeast will reopen for dine-in with a new chef, Tyler Johnson (formerly of Hope Breakfast Bar), with dine-in service expected to resume by May 12." - Joy Summers
"In Northeast I read that Sonder Shaker has hit pause with hopes to return one day, citing financial losses in 2020 and the prospect of further COVID-19 spikes; the restaurant pointed to reduced capacity, the Minneapolis ban on bar seating and service, and a lack of consumer confidence as insurmountable hurdles for now, and plans to sell cocktail kits at a local liquor store while waiting for the landscape to shift." - Joy Summers
