We had our wedding reception here and it was amazing. I want to give a huge shoutout to Cathy the Front of House Manager. Every detail and logistic was taken care of while my husband and I were able to relax and celebrate. We had it in October and it was perfect with the outdoor space. Highly recommend Norseman for any event you may have, or just going for just drinks and food with a few friends.

We loved this place because it didn’t just offer the typical dishes you usually find. We ended up ordering almost everything on the menu; we enjoyed every dish so much. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient.

Really liked this place. Great cocktails, good food, fun staff! We had a few pizzas and I found the brie and pear pizza delightful (added bacon and this is the correct choice). The old fashioned and last word are really well made as well. The place is nice and has kind cozy vibes. Great place to grab drinks with friends and still be able to hear the conversation.

The cocktails are delicious! I had the Strawbarb gimlet and the Pineapple Express. Both were delicious, packed the perfect punch but did not lack on flavor. I also had a piece of cheesecake and it did not disappoint. We went on a Saturday afternoon, there was plenty of patio space to enjoy our drinks outside. Patio is dog friendly! It’s a vibe, would recommend.

Norseman is AMAZING! We hosted a wedding celebration for family and friends and everything turned out perfectly! Staff was top notch, food was absolutely delicious, drinks are incredible and atmosphere was perfect!
All of our family and friends raved about the reception and everyone had the best time! The option for indoor and outdoor seating for a reception is so refreshing! Our guests utilized both spaces the entire day.
I’ve planned many events throughout my careers and Norseman is by far one of my top venues to work with. Cheers!

Went here for a comedy night 2/20. Got a classic old fashioned, fries, and the Nordeast special pizza. It was one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. Also got the scorpion fishbowl (pictured). Very good deal, $26 for sooo much alcohol. 4 of us drank it. Everything seems very reasonably priced for the absolute quality of everything. Definitely coming back here. Especially when the patio is open when it’s warmer

My husband and I went here. It was a really nice experience. The drinks are a little pricey, but the experience made it worth it. The staff was nice and it was an upscale place.

Big variety of drink choices. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They serve a handful of appetizers and pizzas. Fun spot for a double date night. Soft lighting, good music, cozy atmosphere.

This place is quite the interesting find. It has a highly eclectic drink menu, presumably due to the art of cocktail craft that goes into its design. This place is not 3 Busch lights after work. They clearly take pride in their craft and the quality (and price) reflects that. Their cocktail (manhattan, last word, and strawbarb gimlet) were delicious. The pizzas are of the 12 inch variety and not more into a new York style crust and California style toppings. They use quality ingredients for excellent flavor. The cocktails are more craft than process, but I have no complaints. They really lean into the flavor profiles and a wide breadth of complementary flavors. My only criticism is how busy they got after our first order and they probably could have used an additional bat tender to keep up. He was hustling, but only one man.

Updating my review. We visited Norseman distillery on Taft St. in Minneapolis again, and I still recommend it! I love that they do flights, so you can try 4 of their offerings at a time. I tried both gins, their aged aquavit, and their Danske aquavit. They were all interesting. I find navy strength gin a bit “hot”, but a little water fixed that.
Their cocktails are excellent, imaginative and fun. My husband had the Kafka on the Shore. It is very complex and topped with a shitake meringue!! I had the Yellow jacket, and despite my trepidation, found it super good. Their Reyk cocktail, which is whiskey based, was also well balanced. They have a super interesting way of smoking the cocktail and serving it.
We tried one of their pizzas. Great crust, wild toppings…we had the banh mi pizza. Good but not great.
The bartenders are super knowledgeable about their products and about cocktails. You can get things at the bar you cannot buy. That is very cool indeed.
I highly recommend stopping by!
