No two celebrations are alike, and we believe the food experience shouldn’t be either. Every menu, display, and detail is thoughtfully designed to reflect your style, your guests, and the way you want your event to feel.

This place is fantastic! The staff and owners are so welcoming. Lots of great options for food and drinks and I love that you can control your portions with the self pour tap wall.

We loved this experience. The food was excellent and the drinks were delicious. Great selection of charcuterie and wine/beer. The cherry on top of the cake was that we found out they will be rotating their beers and wines throughout the seasons. Better believe we will be back each quarter. Thanks UpNorth Social!

My new favorite stop! The owner, Saundra, was extremely kind and professional. I love the concept of this place and the desire to foster connection and conversation! Can't wait to come back. The tap wall was super cool and I enjoyed my meal because I was able to sample before committing to what I ordered! I’d rate 100 stars if I could!

I’ve been in a few times since its opening and it gets better every visit! This creative space offers so much to the community and summer visitors to the Crosslake Area. From a quiet place to work with a snack or full meal to a wonderful experience with friends on a special occasion and most recently, a business networking meeting, it never disappoints. INCREDIBLY clean with a gorgeous design and so many seating options for comfort and function. It’s available for events and they offer onsite catering for your own event as well. Owner Saundra Krienke has brought this fun self-pour taproom (wine & beer), customizable charcuterie options & new menu items and nonalcoholic drinks to the Crosslake area and it’s simply a must on the bucket list!!

We stopped in today to order a charcuterie board for our Airbnb guests. We were absolutely blown away by the atmosphere and the customer service. Saundra the owner went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

Something for everyone! Brought my young kids there to check it out and they liked choosing their own options and even tried a few new things. We all walked away full and satisfied! The self pour taps are a unique and fun experience. The whole place has a cool vibe and I cannot wait to go again!

Tried it for the first time and loved it. Will definitely be back! Great choices of meats, cheeses, etc. for the make your own charcuterie board. They'll even let you taste things before you make your selections. They have a variety of wine and beer on their tap wall- we loved what tried :). Workers were so friendly and helpful 🙂
