Rude on the phone

by CSMobileUser

Tried to go to Bev's after work, no parking. Called to see where they sugesyed the best parking was. "In the lot next to us". Told them that it said we'd be towed. "If it's the one I'm thinking of you'll be fine". Which one? You're surrounded by parking lots for other places like the strip club. "OKAY! BYE". Abd hung up on me. Going to Spill the Wine instead. They are not rude.

• Pros: Example: best croissants in town
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Bev's is all the comforts of a fireside bottle of wine, without the fireside. Fantastic local vibe with a crafted wine selection.. NOW with 3.50 pints of FANTASTIC ales such as the ever popular SURLY BENDER.

(other taps as well, but the Bender is DROP DEAD delicious!)

• Pros: wine selection, location, environment, NEW TAPS!
• Cons: no "big" food items, no accomodations for big groups.

Great Little Secret in Minneapolis

by jbvv

Bev's was the location for a friend's birthday recently, and it was phenomenal! A bit hard to find (3rd and Washington, beside "The VU" and Visage) but plenty of parking once there. Intimate setting, with only a few tables and big bar, our party of 8 were about the only ones in the whole place. Very dimly lit, with candles on every table, it had a mysterious and exciting vibe about it. Now they have liquor, as well as a bang-up wine list. The drink prices were a little high, but the excellend server, Shelly, made up for that. We munched on mushroom pate (Wonderful!) and a cheese plate, very French feeling.

If you want an out-of-the-way place to chat with a date, or catch up with a friend, this is the place! Feels like a small-town bar in the middle of Minneapolis. Great time!

• Pros: Not crowded, ambiance, parking,service
• Cons: smaller, not great for large crowds, a bit pricy

At this comfortable, elegant Warehouse District spot, the focus is on the fruit of the vine.

In Short
Tucked in at the far end of Minneapolis' Warehouse District, Bev's is the perfect destination for an illicit tryst or a date with someone who's been to all the usual suspects. Single candles on each table give off a romantic glow and the exposed-brick walls give the place a lived-in warmth. Professional servers help novices navigate the affordable wine list. Food selections are simple and limited, like baguettes with an assortment of cheese and pâté.

Great Place to Enjoy the Moment

by dtok

Bev's is a place that helps you understand why someone would want to live in the Warehouse District. It has atmosphere, warmth and something many Twin Cities establishments lack, style in its most simplistic form. The food menu is not huge, in fact neither is the drink/wine list, but it provides enough options to complement a perfect evening.

• Pros: Atmosphere, Location, Value
• Cons: None

A lovely night out

by jdurra

If you're in the mood for a great bottle of wine (and you have the money to pay for it) and a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place to go. Bev's has a wonderful wine list, just the right salty accompaniments, and it isn't crowded, loud, or smoky, which is a treat. The lights are a little dim, but that's just right if you're out for a romantic evening. The wait staff doesn't pester you to order more than you want, or drink more quickly than you'd like. They could use a little wine education, but they're friendly and prompt.

• Pros: great wines, fabulous atmosphere, quiet night out
• Cons: spendy, but in line, a little dim, staff knowledge
