In the historic Hamm’s campus on Saint Paul’s East Side. Look for the brick, the crow, and the glow from inside.

It was originally the Hamm’s blacksmith and paint shop, built in 1919 — a working heart of the historic brewery campus. We’re incredibly proud to be part of such a legendary corner of Hamm’s history. The bones are iconic. We’re just adding the next chapter.

CrowBar is owned by ReGina Clapp and Liza Sterletske. Two women with big ideas, real passion, and a shared belief that great hospitality can shift the whole vibe of a neighborhood.

We’re both. CrowBar is the cocktail room and tasting space for Voliere Spirits, our on-site distillery. The distillery lives behind the scenes, making the vodka, gin, rums, bourbon, and rye whiskey you’ll find in your glass. CrowBar is where those spirits come to life in cocktails, community, and conversation.

Voliere Spirits creates vodka, gin, white rum, dark rum, bourbon, and rye whiskey — with more expressions quietly in the works. Everything is distilled on-site with intention, balance, and a little artistic mischief. We’re also proud to be the only female-owned whiskey distillery in the state of Minnesota.

Because good spirits shouldn’t feel exclusive. We intentionally price Voliere to be accessible in today’s challenging economy. We want our neighborhood bartenders to pour us proudly — and for anyone to feel comfortable bringing a bottle home without thinking twice. Great hospitality starts with making people feel welcome, and that includes the price tag.

Yes. Voliere Spirits is rolling out across the Twin Cities. If your favorite shop doesn’t carry us yet, feel free to give them a friendly nudge.

Yes. Our bottle shop is open during business hours, with one important note… Minnesota law requires us to stop selling at 10 PM. If you want to take something home, grab it early.

We do not. CrowBar is entirely first come, first served. We want everyone to feel welcome to wander in, find their corner, and settle into the vibe without booking ahead.

We adore dogs. Truly. But our space is filled with vintage audio gear, delicate memorabilia, and chairs that do not enjoy being shed on. To keep everything (and everyone) safe, pups are welcome on the patio only.

CrowBar is a 21+ space. It keeps the vibe consistent, the cocktails flowing, and lets us play the vinyl we love without edits — the way it was meant to be heard.

We do. Our mocktails are crafted with the same care and intention as everything else we make. Whether you’re drinking or not, we’ve got thoughtful options that feel just as special — without charging you through the nose for them. And our cocktail menu is generous, so there’s plenty to explore without feeling boxed in.

Right now, the turntables are controlled by our staff. But vinyl nerds, fear not. We’re planning special listening nights where guests can bring their own records and help set the soundtrack. Watch our socials for details.

Yes. Our patio is open during the warmer months and is the perfect place to enjoy a drink, some sunshine, and dog-friendly hangs.

Absolutely. We love seeing your snapshots of the space — just be mindful of other guests who may prefer to stay out of the spotlight. If you’re bringing professional equipment or planning a shoot, check in with us first.

Not at this time. For the safety of our team, we operate as a cashless business. It reduces risk during late-night hours, limits the need for anyone to handle large sums of money, and keeps our staff focused on hospitality instead of security concerns. We accept all major cards and contactless payments.

Not yet, but it’s coming. Until then, we have a direct line to Saint Paul Brewing so you can order food without leaving your seat.

Wednesday through Friday: 4 PM to close
Saturday: Noon to close
(We’re still learning what the neighborhood wants. Hours may shift as we grow.)

We share a property line and plenty of good energy, but CrowBar and Voliere Spirits are an independent, women-owned venture. Saint Paul Brewing is Rob’s operation next door.

We do. It’s cheeky, fun, and tends to disappear fast. Swing by and see what’s on the shelf.

Yes. Our entrance, layout, and restrooms are designed to be accessible for guests with mobility needs. If you have specific concerns or need assistance when you arrive, our team is always happy to help.

There is free parking throughout the Hamm’s campus, including:
• The courtyard lot by Saint Paul Brewing
• The city lot directly behind us
‍
Both are just a short walk to our door. Follow the signs — or the people heading toward good drinks.

Yes, with some considerations. CrowBar is an intimate space with nooks and personality, so we’ll work with you to make sure it fits your vision and our operations. Reach out and we’ll explore the possibilities together.

Yes. We offer both digital and in-person gift cards — perfect for holidays, birthdays, celebrations, or “I saw this and thought of you” moments.

Sometimes. If you love hospitality, vinyl, creative cocktail making, culinary energy, good people, and a little controlled chaos, keep an eye on our socials for openings.
