What an intriguing little spot in Northfield! I had never been there before, but stopped through while on a circuit of businesses included in the MN Drink Passport (got mine at the State Fair). Despite having a *distinctive* smell (which I am told is a by-product of the production process) we had a great time sitting at a tiny corner table, hemmed in on all sides by barrels, sipping on spirits and doing the NYT crossword. We really appreciated the house-made own bitters, tonics and mixers in the cocktails. A cozy place well worth a trip on it's own, or if you are in the area.

Don't get discouraged if you drive down and do t see the place. It us hidden in the back corner of the industrial park. Once you get inside, Loon Liquors does not disappoint.We had barely bellied up to the bar and our server poured us a small sample of the seasonal liqueur, which happened to be cinnamon (and delicious). The bartenders were all very friendly and made great recommendations. I mentioned I like dill after looking at the dill martini, but ended up not ordering it. While waiting for our drinks to be made, I got another small sample of the dill aquavit. Wow, that was good too.Had a wonderful beverage and took some goodies home too. Would strongly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

We have been here a couple of times and have enjoyed it. It's got a nice vibe and some rocking, unique drinks! They are priced fine and most are made pretty strong. Service has been decent. The only bummer we've found is that if you want a bottle of something, it is way more expensive to buy it there than it is to buy the same bottle from our local liquor stores. Great place to stop for cocktails though and to try some of their spirits!

How have a not written a review for this place yet? I have been there a couple of times now and I really appreciate and enjoy the laid-back vibe of this place. Smells of liquor mash waft through the dimly lit space. There is a sign that says this place is structured like a speakeasy and it totally works. Now on to the drinks. There is a great menu with quite a bit of variety to pick from, a little bit of classic and a little bit of experimental. Each drink is made with either bourbon, gin, or vodka that is made in-house. The Old Fashioned is very good, but I would also suggest any of the other bourbon drinks. If you want to take something home with you, you can buy their products right at the distillery. Their coffee liquor is absolutely amazing - smooth and sweet with just a hint of vanilla and cocoa. This has become my go-to coffee liquor in my home bar. Whenever I am in Northfield and have an afternoon to spare, this is the place I will probably go to relax and unwind.

I love to support local businesses and we are so fortunate to have this local business open. They have an easy way to make reservations online and check in when you arrive. The entire process feels very safe and clean as your temperature is checked upon arrival and then you are seated. Table service is offered in the lounge and outside patio and all the tables are socially distanced with homemade sanitizer on the table. However, the best part is the tasting all the delicious cocktails. Depending on your preference of gin, rum, whiskey or vodka based drinks, they have one for you. I particularly enjoyed the cherry vanilla rum and coke. I can't think of a better atmosphere to enjoy delicious spirits and be part of the local scene.

Great place! Cool vibe with original drinks and some twists on the classics. Free samples of their organic vodka, gin, and whisky.

I love this little place! You have to go on a bit of a treasure hunt through an industrial office building to find it, but you completely forget about where you are when you walk in. I went with friends and got the Rosemary Fitzgerald, which was refreshing and delicious. Note - the drinks are small but mighty. I had to sip slowly! I wish I still lived in Minnesota so I could try more of the drinks, but the next time I visit I might have to take some to go!

I've been here once and it didn't disappoint. They give you a decent list of unique drinks to chose from. I was with 2 friends and we shared 4 drinks. Its a little hard to find since it's in a location you wouldn't expect but i kinda like that. Inside is decorated with an urban feel. The outside patio is slightly small but adorable. They also provide board and card games if you're into that kind of thing. Looking forward to my next visit!

The ONLY place to go for artisan cocktails, modern/hipster atmosphere, and incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff. Best for two or a small group of friends. The owner (&guy behind the bar) hand crafted several drinks for our group based on our likes and dislikes (in addition to the several we ordered from the outstanding menu). He took lots of time to answer questions and show us the distilling process and equipment. Great prices, too!

Hard to find, but worth the hunt. Good selection of spirts and very attentive staff. First of many visits. Tried the Rye Whiskey Barrel Flight. Liked 3 of the 4 whiskeys. Taking a bit home.
