DeRusha Eats (Live): Bradstreet Crafthouse

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Bradstreet Crafthouse is a familiar name but an all-new restaurant.

Originally a cocktail lounge in the Graves 601 hotel, the hotel has since been sold but the Graves family kept the Bradstreet name and recrafted it in Lowry Hill.

Bradstreet's new home sits at 1930 Hennepin Avenue, the home of the former Rye Deli.

Executive Chef Blake Meier has created a menu for a neighborhood restaurant, only serving dinner.

You'll find kalettes, which are made with medjool dates, lamb belly, goat cheese and sumac, and dishes like a salmon panzanella, which is a blackened salmon with moraccan spices and dry cured olives.

Don't worry, there is a burger on the menu. But it's spiced up a bit, made with lamb and chimichurri mayo.  There's even an asparagus dish, which comes with a sweet pea salad and a cinnamon yuzu vinaigrette.

The cocktails are still extremely carefully crafted, but they're done more quickly.

Gone is the mixology where it takes eight minutes to get a drink.

The new menu includes some cocktails that are pre-made and poured via tap. There are also punches, like a Spice Punch with rum, Licor 43, lime and black team. Or, the Rebel Punch, with Rebel Yell Bourbon, Elderflower, Lemon and grapefruit.

Bradstreet Crafthouse is open every day. Stop in to taste the new dishes and explore the new space any time between 3:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.
