"After surviving COVID and the mandated shutdowns that came with it, we thought we had made it through the darkest days hospitality would ever see. In many ways, this is worse." In the south building is Pimento Market, which will offer a curated selection of "gifts and goodies" from more than 20 mission-driven BIPOC vendors. I came here when it was Dangerfield and now came back to a new name restaurant (felt the same). The atmosphere was welcoming and the server was really nice.

Chandeliers, new light fixtures, button back chairs, gold accents and additional decor choices have been added to embody this era. The Rum Row Basement Tiki Bar is inspired by Cumberbatch, who wanted to open a Caribbean-themed basement bar while working at the Millpond Club but passed away before he could do so. Owner Tony Donatell wrote in the announcement they would work to secure staff positions at his other restaurants where possible, noting some are currently short-staffed.

Also in the basement, tucked behind a curtain in the back corner is Mezcaleria, an intimate candlelit Oaxacan-style mezcal bar. Here, traditional dishes are enticingly elevated—such as the juicy bone-in pork chop topped with a sweet-and-spicy pineapple medley. Surf fans will love the seared-to-perfection walleye fillet and creamy mushroom risotto. The handcrafted cocktails and after-dinner drinks are equally appealing, like the Lavender Lady, made with crème de violette and a frothy egg-white top. "Its sheer enormity, with four bars, four patios, and multiple dining rooms, coupled with not just one but two floods in our first year, proved too great of a challenge to overcome during this economic slowdown," the post said.

The drink menu has been updated, as well, with more whiskeys and spirits being added to the bar as well as a brand new wine list. Classic, prohibition-era cocktails are also a focus, Donatell added, with signature cocktails looking to become a priority in the future when the restaurant is fully switched over. The main dining space will be remodeled to look like a supper club of the era. A stage will also be set up in the main dining room, where live entertainment like cabaret shows, comedy shows, “burlesque brunches” and jazz performances can be put on for guests. Donatell said plans for Shakopee House are to do “their version” of a supper club, heavily inspired by 1940s-era supper clubs and speakeasies.

All the patios located throughout the restaurant space will also be renovated to serve different purposes and match Shakopee House’s updates. Each room is designed to have a slightly different feel, Donatell said. The first room upon entering is meant to feel like a grand entryway with a hotel bar style. The private party room near the entryway has also been remodeled similarly. This is reflected in the updated decor and remodeling of the restaurant.

Today, forms of live entertainment, such as cabaret shows, burlesque-style brunches, and jazz performances, pay tribute to the riverside establishment’s storied history. Had lunch at Shakopee House for the first time since it changed from Dangerfield. It was okay, I did not notice much changes in the menu. The service was the best thing, my waitress was Lexi, she was friendly, kind and very attentive. Cumberbatch was a rum runner and a former bartender of the Mill Pond Club, the first restaurant to call the building home.

The end of a red-sauce era

The supper club is in the transition process, still running under the name Dangerfield’s, and looks to be fully rebranded with the new name by mid-November. The suitcase belonged to Lawrence H. Cumberbatch, a bartender who used to work in the building. Findings inside are on display near a staircase leading down to Rum Row. The suitcase is on display as you make your way down the staircase, where bamboo-lined walls and a faux canopy of greenery melt your worries away.

"He put together recipes for cocktails. He had rum in there, he had post cards from his travels and his adventures. We used what we found and some of the stories from his family to create the rum row concept for the basement." Historical finds during construction included a leather travel case belonging to Lawrence H. Cumberbatch, a bartender who used to work in the building. Within the case were a number of postcards from his travels, maps, cocktail recipes and a collection of rum, gin and whiskey from the early 1900s.

To revive the great Minnesota supper club tradition while giving humble classics (think platters and prime rib) a fresh update. Pimento on the Lake (3000 Bde Maka Ska Pkwy., Mpls., pimento.com) will offer beachy twists on Pimento Jamaican Kitchen's popular food and drink menu. Pimento's Tomme Beevas joined forces with the team from Lola on the Lake, which operated the Bde Maka Ska concessions building before it burned down in 2019.

With restaurants located throughout the south metro, we are sure to be close by, with locations in Farmington, Apple Valley, Savage, Shakopee, Eagan, and Chanhassen. Gift cards can be use at both Shakopee House and Rum Row. All gift cards are physical cards and will be mailed within 2-3 days. The week started off on a bright note for Woodbury residents — the fourth location of Patti and Robbie Soskin's Yum Kitchen & Bakery opened Monday (8340 City Centre Dr., yumkitchen.com).

The supper-club-style Shakopee House opened late last fall, and reimagined itself once again with a Cajun and Creole menu earlier this year. The size of the space (with two floors and four patios), two floods and the economic challenges facing restaurants are the reasons for the closure, wrote Tony Donatell, owner of the Hospitality Collective restaurant group, on social media. "We missed the target of what this community was looking for, didn't hold ourselves to the standard we set, and made changes too late." With his family’s permission, Cumberbatch’s dream has now been brought back to life with the creation of Rum Row.

Proceeds from the final weekend of business will go to staff to support their transition to other employment. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s gonna just bring me to one? ’ (Khwice) brings me downstairs, leads me through the back rooms, knocks on one of the walls … and goes, ‘There used to be a tunnel.

“(We’ll) try to activate that stage as many nights as we can and kind of make this an entertainment destination as well as food and beverage,” Donatell said. After 30 years of being known as Dangerfield’s Restaurant, the historic restaurant location on First Avenue in Shakopee is entering a new chapter. A nod to Prohibition-era Shakopee, the likes of which John Dillinger and the notorious “Baby Face” Nelson would frequent. "It's almost like a tribute to somebody in his industry."
