Rouge 41

Nestled behind the beloved Red Bench Bakery in Chaska, Chef Andy's new speakeasy is an absolute must-visit. With a passion for food and baking that started when he was just eight years old, following in his mother's footsteps, Andy has crafted a space that blends nostalgia, creativity, and top-tier flavors.This speakeasy is small and intimate, offering a cozy yet elevated atmosphere perfect for a night out. The cocktails are a masterful mix of classic favorites with unexpected twists, making each sip an experience in itself, ( Thanks to group of mixologist Jonah , Joe , Luke , Andy ) and their creativity !! They paired that with a carefully curated menu that showcases Andy's love for bold, refined flavors, and you have a hidden gem worth discovering. It's not all about whose place it is but it's how it's ran, what was noticed was that it's was a family that's so much more!! So !! Whether you're looking for a unique date night spot or a fun outing with friends, this speakeasy is a must-see, taste, and try. It's a delightful escape where craft cocktails and culinary expertise come together beautifully right next to one of the best bakery in town. ( thankyou hard workers too that I did not meet or mention but you all know who you are !)bon appétit !

Was down in the area looking for a spot to try and Rouge 41 popped up. Parking was in back and there a huge sign pointing you where to go so not very hidden at all. Walk between building and just look for the red light. Visited on a Saturday night at around 8:30 and the place was packed. It's a very small, intimate space with a lounge sofa/booth area in back and a few tables as well as ~10 bar seats. Overall the place holds around 30 people at max capacity. We had to wait around 15 min to grab spots at the bar but then multiple groups were leaving. I felt bad for the group of 4 that was waiting with us as the bailed less than 5 min before they would have gotten seats. They have a pretty extensive whiskey menu and a few signature drinks. We tried the Rogue Awakening and the Notorious TRB. TRB was the winner. Would have tried some of the food as well but we just weren't hungry unfortunately. What we saw looked pretty tasty. Service was pretty good. There were three people working. One was definitely more engaged/personable. If I go back I'd probably opt for a table instead of bar as there wasn't much interaction. Ambiance is nice, gives you the hidden, speakeasy feeling. Overall seems like a nice addition to Chaska.

This speakeasy is located behind Red Bench bakery. There's a hallway that leads to the speakeasy bar just down from the restroom. Otherwise go to the back of the bakery and you'll find the red light above the door that says Rouge 41. Service was great, the server explained their holiday special drinks and checked on us quite often. We ordered devil eggs and tuna. The tuna was delicious!! Devil eggs were topped with crispy bacon. It's a small bar and can get busy quick.

Step back in time at Rouge41, where the echoes of the Prohibition era come alive. Behind the neighborhood The Red Bench Bakery there is now a speakeasy! The 1920s-inspired ambiance seamlessly blends with the bakery's contemporary charm.The expert mixologists craft cocktails worthy of Gatsby himself. Try the "Chaska Stinger" one of their most popular drinks, a brandy-based concoction with bourbon. Or sip on the "Blueberry Yum Yum" which is lemonade with blueberries, fresh mint that I highly recommend.The owner, Andy, embodies the spirit of hospitality. He is genuine about wanting the best for Downtown Chaska.

Popped into the new Chaska speakeasy... "Rouge 41" on Saturday night. A super cool new space reminiscent of a 1920's prohibition saloon. Managed to locate the secret entrance without too much trouble, and we were fortunate enough to grab seating for the 6 of us right away. Service by Kevin was perfectly attentive. Loved the creative cocktails. Had dinner plans so our bites were limited to deviled eggs and maybe the best bruschetta that I've ever had (think bacon onion jam). Not a place to camp out due to limited seating , although a perfect spot for preliminaries before heading out. We be back for sure.

Great service by knowledgeable people who enjoy having you there! Excellent bourbon selections and a great charcuterie board...highly recommend

First timers and had been looking forward to it. Great staff and drinks. Place is beautiful. We will definitely be back because it was a wonderful visit.

Cozy and stylish bar with excellent drinks! We also had the burrata app and it was delicious - could tell they used fresh ingredients. We will definitely be back!

Staff, food, and drinks were fantastic! Small and intimate setting, but accommodates the perfect amount of people for a "not too crazy" night out. You won't have to deal with drunken idiots slurring nonsense, bad music, or rude staff. It's a classy but fun little spot where the vibe draws you in and you cant help but go back. It's also nice that it isn't too hard to find. I cant help but find it laughable when someone doesn't know that they aren't supposed to use the Bakery door. There ARE photos online that show you these things.Maybe if someone is too drunk to find it, they shouldn't be venturing there. I'm sure the owner and staff prefer to keep it a respectable establishment. There are enough dive bars around Carver County already and Chaska truly needs this breath of fresh air.Just wait until you're not hammered to go, it'll be worth it.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good seating at bar. Tasty charcuterie plate that was more than enough for two.
