Flying Dutchman Spirits

Such a great spot! It's ticked back in an industrial park and we visited around 10 on a Saturday. There were a few customers still hanging out but the bartenders said it was fully packed earlier. The space is big and they have live music on the weekends.We sat at the bar and grabbed a Mexican old fashioned and a Shut up and Take my money. Both were delicious! Not overpowering and nicely blended. I grabbed a tequila honey bee as well which was nice but not as good as the first two drinks. We also tried their Thai chili pepper vodka in a one night in Bangkok. I was worried it would be too spicy based on some other spicy liquors I've tried but it was the perfect amount of heat and blended nicely in the drink. It would make an excellent Bloody Mary! Service was top notch. You order in a QR code but we sat at the bar and had fun talking with Lauren and Christine. They were so helpful and outgoing and it was a nice way to end the night. We waked away wondering when we could make a return and bring friends! So glad we decided to stop.

One of the best MN distilleries, IMO. Every spirit I've had is smooth and well balanced. Their blue agave tequila is one of my favorites and something I drink in the rocks. Tried their spiced rum today and it's just as good. Not overly sweet or cloying like a lot of rums can be. Nice notes of cinnamon, allspice, and anise. The taproom is really laid back but can get loud and hard to hear folks you're talking with. The service of amazing and ordering by QR core at the table makes everything really smooth. They've got some bar snacks and Heggies of you don't want to order in. Their cocktails are all well balanced, strong, and not overly sweet. It's one of my favorite places to grab a drink since it's not pretentious like a lot of other cities lounges or "rustic" like you get in the country. Just a lot of people looking to have a drink or two and get some good conversation.

Some of the best drinks around, but have to dock for terrible service. Mexican Old Fashioned and Night in Bangkok are some of my all-time favorite cocktails. On the other hand, I have had two gin cocktails I haven't loved there, and I'm not really sure why. I think they just weren't what I expected based on the description they gave. I remember one was supposed to have spiced syrups, which I couldn't really taste. But the two I mentioned above, the Pina Colada and the Shut Up and Take My Money are all SO good. But the service has been awful (not a word I use often) both times we've been here which is why my review ends up at three stars.

Take a drive off the highway and you will find this beautiful cocktail lounge ran by Flying Dutchman Distillery in Eden Prairie. I visited for a cocktail after a great game of bowling that I actually won (an oddity, I am terrible at bowling).They make spirits from vodka to blue agave and gin to spiced rum. And did I mention that their cocktail list is MASSIVE. It took me nearly 10 minutes just to decide what to order. THey had a section celebrating the flavors of the season through Rhubarb and Lavender - and with the sun shining I had to get on some rhubarb action.Strawberry Rhubarb Paloma:An Agave based cocktail made with fresh Lime Juice, Strawberry Puree, Agave Nectar, their house made Rhubarb Simple Syrup, and Grapefruit Soda. The glassware is astoundingly beautiful (where did they get it from!?!?), and the drink matched the beauty. A hint of tartness comes through some of the citrus flavors with sweetness from the syrups and strawberry. The Agave base helps meld all of the flavors together into a Summery cocktail that anybody can enjoy._____

This is our go to spot for cocktails! Nick the bartender is wonderful and the GM is amazing. My daughter loves the non alcoholic drinks. The Mexican old fashioned is my favorite. It's a fun and casual atmosphere.

We went for the pie themed flight special. It was key lime, pumpkin, apple, and chocolate. Very delicious. Their cocktails are unique and it's fun to try ones that you normally wouldn't have.

I can not recommend this place enough. It is wonderful for date night, a girl's night, or a work party. There are many different types of seating, outdoor and indoor options. I've been there multiple times with live music playing. As for their drinks and every single one I have tried has been delicious! They have a very large drink menu maybe one day I will get through them all. They also make some nonalcoholic versions and they make it very clear when serving which I really respect. Our server was so welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful that we thought he could be the owner. If he is I can really appreciate him being so well involved, if it's not that's some great training. But honestly, we have always gotten top-notch service here.The aviation map near the front actually shows Eden Prairie and the exact location of the Flying Dutchman on it.

I've never heard of this distillery, but it was listed in a pamphlet book that I bought at the state fair last year. There was a BOGO offer. We stopped in here just after 9pm on a Saturday night. There was plenty of seats to choose from. They have scattered sections of seating that includes couches, chairs, rocking chairs and tables. There is a stage for live music, but the performer was packing up when we entered. They do not have a patio area. We were warmly greeted when we entered and they were very friendly and attentive the entire time. I ordered a Mexican Old Fashioned and was impressed with how smooth their drink was. It had a smoked orange peel and it was just right - not overly smoky. I'm a popcorn fanatic, so I ordered some to go. I tried the "double cheese" option, but unfortunately it wasn't very cheesey. I wouldn't purchase that again. In my opinion it was too dry. I purchased some coffee liqueur to go, but I haven't tried that yet. My friend enjoyed her grapefruit martini as well. I like that they don't over sweeten their drinks. My friend and I both agree that their customer service is refreshing. They checked in multiple times and gave us suggestions before we ordered. We didn't feel like a bother. When I paid ordered I realized I forgot to use my BOGO offer. The manager was super nice and voided the transaction and honored the voucher. We will be back again.

Visited since they opened. Love seeing the constant growth and updates to the space. Staff is very accommodating in any questions and also entertaining!

Told new owners? Nice new table and chairs, but now very slow service, October. Must use toast QR code on table that is poorly printed. Camera has trouble focusing. Determined problem with toast website QR reader. Another QR reader works much better. Atmosphere good, music good, no cover charge. However the can be service slow, and the drink was not good. When you charge $12+ for drinks and toast wants to add 18% or 24% minimum tip, people expect service. Liked more before they installed toast. Have privacy concerns with toast. Employee told me new ownership?. Seems to have staffing problems in October. Hopefully they solve problems shortly. Now 2 months later, service better, drinks good.
