Sit at a table on the rooftop with a glass of wine overlooking the best view of the skyline in the twin cities!

Here on a summer day? Head to the back to find an awesome rooftop deck.
It's a great place to get a locally brewed beer. everyone should try it once.

Don't leave without eating an order of peel and eat shrimp from Sea Salt. It pairs nicely with a Surly and a Sebastian Joe's ice cream.
