An accomplished pilot in the Lafayette Flying Corps in World War I, innovator in American aviation, father, and husband, Bar Rufus captures the essence of the man who built the house in which we are all summoned to gather and play.

Vibe is great, it’s adorable in there with the swanky velvet furniture with quirky additions like the feet on the couches. Feels upscale, but not stiff. They also had French music playing. Oh, and the wallpaper in the bathroom was a Loons print!

Jeremiah was the MAN, we were trying to find somewhere to kill time while our wife’s were at a concert. This was one of the only places open, and it was well worth it. We made friends with our bartender Jeremiah, and it was a great time. I would make sure to check out the gorgeous atmosphere and great service.

Not a great spot for groups but looked nice for a date or double date.

Absolutely fabulous! If you love a well prepared martini, order the Rufus. No expiation necessary. Best Oysters I’ve had in MN. It’s an unearthed Gem. Came for wedding Anniversary “stay-cation” and will be back!

We went during Grandma’s, so this review is just based on that. The server was really great, but seemed over-stretched. They service was pretty quick at first, but then really slowed before we got our food, and it felt like almost triple the time to get the main course out. The food was ok, but again probably just busy, and understandably so. Would probably go back to try another time, if we make it back up before Grandma’s race.

Had such a great time here, I ended up coming for a second night in a row so I could bring my coworker. Drinks are outstanding, particularly the really impressive Martini presentation, some of the best oysters I’ve ever had, and Jordan is a super fun bartender who makes you feel welcomed and engaged, and who has great recommendations for whatever else you’re looking for in the area.

Cozy bar in downtown area. It’s good that they’ve daily happy hour but it doesn’t actually feel like an happy hour! Happy hour menu is very limited. Not sure if I would visit again.

Beautiful, luxurious space with limited bar menu. Pricey and I wasn’t crazy about their food menu, but you’re paying for the ambiance, which is lovely.
