I had the best experience here !!Such a great cocktail room with the most delicious food I've had in ages The menu is shared with their new restaurant Laginappe(next door) and is New Orleans Creole style food and let me tell you it was fantastic Having traveled to NOLA in the past I can attest that this is the best style closest to authentic that I know of in the cities - sorry Mr Paul's!!The redfish is sooo delicious and I'm not usually a "greens"fan but those southern greens alongside the fish were a match made in heavenThe charbroiled oysters were good- just make sure u squeeze the lemon as it makes them taste betterThe crispy boudin balls were a hit, that sauce was yumThe cast iron jalapeño cornbread was out of this world!!! The apple bread pudding was soo good !! I need that recipeNow the cocktails were all delicious- the Bee Sting, Hurricane, Chicken Hawk were perfection Service was fabulous- and this place is amazing for their price point, I'll definitely be back!!Parking - available in the small lot next to the building *love that this is a community based operation and reopened after the MPLS riots- I hope they stick around for a while!!

Welcome back Du Nord! I've had many wonderful evenings and wonderful drinks with Du Nord back in the old cocktail room, so I could not wait to join them in their new space. It's been awesome seeming all the progress pics and leading up to opening day. I absolutely LOVE the new space in the Coliseum. It's comfortable, modern, and memorable. I really enjoyed looking at all the photos they have up. Onto the main event. Whereas I do miss a giant pickle along with my drinks, Du Nord staff has really upped the game on their food offerings! The jalapeño cornbread had the perfect texture and just the right amount of sweetness. My watermelon salad was refreshing and done just right. And the drinks, as always, were divine. Congratulations on your new chapter, Du Nord!

A time was had at the soft opening for Du Nord Cocktail Room, as a +1. #teamplusoneFrom the customer service, ambiance, yummy food & the hand crafted Du Nord cocktails , everything was chefs kiss. The ambiance & food scream NOLA, which is my favorite domestic city, with their charbroiled oysters, poboys, and my new fav, the watermelon salad.Conveniently located in the Coliseum Building (for OG South Siders, the old Dennys, but w/the door facing the lot), on East Lake Street & 27th street, adjacent to Aldi's, Wendy's & directly across from Auto Zone. #dunordcocktailroom #yelpmpls

Also sharing the same building with lagnaippe is the distillery bar. This bar was lit up in blue and very intimate. We sat at one of the couch sections by the windows and bar tender came to greet us, same person from the restaurant. We didn't order any food, just shots of tequila and chatted with the girls. Definitely recommended this place to hangout. Free parking in their lot.

We stopped by the cocktail room before a dinner reservation at Lagniappe (same building and owners). We were greeted right away, sat at the bar, and immediately loved the ambiance--the low lights, neon signs, rich colors, and live plants. I had the Apple Affair that was perfectly sweet and tasted like Fall. The bartender happily whipped up a tasty old fashioned for my partner as well. I appreciated that we were able to take our drinks to our dinner reservation as well.

So happy Du Nord reopened! Wonderful cocktail menu and attentive service. We snacked on fries which were great, need to come back to try more food!

Du Nord Cocktail Room has really upped their game since moving to the Historic Coliseum Building. First off, the space is moody, cozy and gorgeous. There are tables and chairs but also plush couches to chill on. The staff is so knowledgeable, friendly and sweet too. My brother accidentally spilled his drink (and he wasn't even tipsy at that point!) and they promptly swooped in to wipe everything up and remake the drink. But most importantly, let's discuss the food and drinks. The food is New Orleans inspired cuisine and pretty delicious for the price and amount. There is a good mix of gluten free, meat and vegetarian options. We ordered the oysters, grits and fried green tomatoes and really enjoyed them. The drinks were super tasty too. We thoroughly enjoyed the Bee Sting, French 75, Ring Around the Rosies, the Hurricane and the Marg. I was delighted to find out they can make a (darn good) gin gimlet as well. I can't wait to go back and try more!

We went in on Saturday night just before 10:00. We sat at the bar. There were about 20 people in the bar and there were plenty of staff on hand. We waited a good 20 minutes to place our order, before we decided to leave. We'd come across town for the oysters, so it was waste of time. I can't comment on the food because we didn't get any.
