11 Wells

This was a great chill spot for a casual Friday night outing with great cocktails. My sister and I went because we wanted a fun social night out. The drink menu has good variety and fun cocktails. We enjoyed chatting with the staff about the drinks and learning how they came up with different recipes. I got the Manhattan which was delicious and the "Can We Interest you in an Egg in this Trying Lime". Both were very good.They had a live band which was nice to hang out and listen to. Another perk was the building had a large parking lot! Not something we expected heading into St. Paul. If you want a fun cocktail spot but that's chill and not pretentious, I recommend this spotThey do not have food but have a rotating list of food trucks!

Have been a fan of 11 Wells ever since they paired up with Sweet Science ice cream to make some cocktail-inspired goodies (admittedly, over a decade ago). I remember back to when the distillery was basically a hallway with tanks. Anyway...When they opened a cocktail room (again, I know, way late on this review), it was pretty exciting for the East Side. The space itself is a little different, with a sitting space right where you walk in and the bar further in the back, but I suppose that is what happens when you are located in the remnants of a historic brewery.Bartenders are friendly. Biggest drawback here is they are a small, craft distillery, so you may not find the spirit you're looking for. But! Be a little adventurous amd you'll still find something you'll enjoy

Stopped in tonight. The friendly PJ and another gal were slanging drinks. It was Whiskey Wednesday so I went that route. I put the task on PJ to decide which whiskeys and go ahead put one on the rocks and the other neat. He gave me a Rye on the rocks and a Wheat neat. Both were as delicious as the company was delightful! I was surprised it was just another fella and myself in there for most of my visit @ roughly 5:30 on a Wednesday. Good to know for future stops! This is a great little hidden gem, tucked in off of Minnehaha. Turn @ the yellow BREWERY sign or you'll miss it. Parking is easy in the shared lot w the brewery. Thanks bartender PJ for such a lovely visit and distiller Seth for the delicious mmmms. Cheers!

We've been to this spot's neighbor more times than I can count, and we finally decided to stop in to this distillery over the weekend! Such a cool vibe, passionate staff, and yummy cocktails. Can't wait to add this one to our regular rotation when we make the trek out to St. Paul!As you arrive, you walk into a big space with tables, and in our case, some live music. You have to walk through the main sitting room to find the bar, tucked in the back of the space. The bar wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon, so we were able to make some playful banter with the bartenders, got their recommendations, and ultimately gave them creative license to show us what they wanted!I ended up with an Old Fashioned, made with their in-home Rye Whiskey. Perfectly spirit-forward, with all the lovely joys of an Old Fashioned. Definitely one of the better ones I've had in St. Paul. Can't wait to come back and check out the other spirits they have to offer!

Amazing place to get your cocktail fix in'. Good price. Amazing taste. And local! And bunch of things to see

Fun environment to hang out in, quality service. I was there at an unusual time so it wasn't busy. There are a lot of cool events throughout the week, so maybe that's the best way to visit.

Not sure it's a destination, but it's a solid little industrial micro distillery with some interesting products like a barrel aged gin and some good infusions (their allspice dram is my house mixer for tiki drinks). The cocktail menu is basically their spirits plus basic mixers, nothing fancy like other lounges. That's my one star off -- I always want it a little more fancy. It's also not much ambiance, eg not a good date night. I came here for my Minnesota Distillery Passport stamp, but probably won't be back till I need another stamp. Still, if you're in the neighborhood worth a stop!

Located in the former Hamms Brewery. Has the feel of a Speakeasy. Excellent drinks. Very helpful bartender. She was patient with us as we decided on drinks. Highly recommend.

An amazing place with a wonderful environment! Not to mention their handcrafted liquor options! The staff is very friendly/accommodating especially if it's your first time! The live music there just makes it that much better! I was personally helped by a girl named Mary that works there and she definitely made my experience here amazing!

Great Staff! Friendly and flexible, but the owner was rude! We rented for a private party, and the owner felt the need to stay and watch us. Felt very uncomfortable as he was just sitting by the couches, watching our party. We asked the staff about him, and agreed and had our backs. They went over and informed him it was a private party and we felt uncomfortable. He left us alone after that, but at the end, we found him later and thanked him for the venue and hospitality, but he did not acknowledge anything or say anything to us. GREAT STAFF - TERRIBLE OWNER!
