    Went here with the bf a few weeks back and overall the experience was very good. Service was great and our waitress, who appeared to be one of the owners, seemed very knowledgable. We ordered a few glasses of wine (of which I can't remember but were EXCELLENT) The mother board (FANTASTIC) and the artisan chocolate board which was just okay but we still enjoyed it. When we left however there was a billing issue involving the tip, of which was definitely my fault. The owners were very understanding and refunded me. If you are looking for a place to go and relax at before a show or special event, I definitely recommend you try Gyst!

    We had a giant charcuterie plate of mirth here and it was fantastic, house prepared meats and pickled items that made a great dinner. Broad and well curated wine list, as well as many non-alcoholic options. Kombucha on tap! We like.

    My girlfriend and I went there after reading about the concept on their website. We had already eaten dinner but wanted to simply have an after dinner drink and learn more. It was really, really nice. It was a Saturday about 7 and the place was not crowded. Decor is minimal and is a bit like a combination of a bar and a snack shop but with very comfortable surroundings and a mellow tone. High end eclectic. I had my first kombucha that I actually liked (home brewed on the premises) and they had a very nice, smallish beer selection with choices I have not seen elsewhere in the twin cities. Excellent cheese and wine selections, though perhaps a bit expensive, though we were told they were from very small artisanal makers and hence rather rare. The server/owner was absolutely wonderful to us...answering our questions about how to pronounce the restaurant's name ('gist' like 'getting the gist of something'} to how kombucha was made to showing us wild beers like Belgian lambic mixed with kombucha. We enjoyed the warm citrus olives as well as a homegrown kale salad with a kick butt citrus vinaigrette. This is a wonderful place to have a drink and a nosh after a night out or before going to a full restaurant. I hope it does well; we'll be back. A very nice combination of very high quality healthy stuff as well as drinks!

    One of Eat Street's newest gems. Amazing place for wine and noshes. We got the half mother's board and we loved it. The owners are very knowledgeable and passionate. I would recommend this wonderful spot for dates and friends alike!

    I never would have discovered this hole-in-the-wall gem without Yelp and I'm so glad I did. What an awesome new addition to the TC. Awesome women-owned shop with a super chill vibe and bomb food and drink selections. This place is clearly run by people who deeply know and deeply love both food and drink, and want you to celebrate both along with them. The drinks: limited but super unique tap selections. I tried a cider that was unlike any I've had before. We were also indecisive about wine so one of the lovely people serving us, who seemed like the owner and/or manager from her demeanor, just offered to give us a couple of half-glasses so we could try multiple. She described the wines not only by flavor, but also with great detail about location, philosophy, etc. Food was also stellar - we had the pickle/fermentation plate, which had 4 awesome pickles - my fave were the beet and celeriac ones. And the meat board - yowza. Awesome pâté (my phone does the fancies for me with those accent marks! Funsies) and salami with cumin and hints of orange. Can't wait to go back again.. And again and again!

    Serious nosh, master sommelier level service, and a super stylish space. The menu will change and evolve, so listing what I had is pretty meaningless. But trust me when I say, they know what they're doing. This wine, cheese, beer, and small plate bar is doing it right.

    I have had better kombucha but appreciate the fact they make it in house. Very cute and unique happy hour specials.

    I went here with a lady friend the other night and we were both in food heaven. We shared the Motherboard, which is as epic as it sounds. It is a sizeable board of robust varieties of cheeses, cured meats, and fermented and pickled vegetables. We added on the beet pickled egg. While feasting upon this dreamy board of delicacies, we enjoyed a delightful bottle of wine that the server suggested. I am delighted to have this place in Minneapolis....but I am also thankful that I do not live in the same neighborhood, because I would be in here all the time spending all my disposable income. And for Celiac people like me they offer delicious gluten free crackers and they don't upcharge for them.

    This place was fantastic! I went with a good friend (we were actually trying to go somewhere else that was closed and I AM SO GLAD!), and we had a wine flight. I generally consider wine flights to be the best thing that has happened to menus, so I was disposed to be positive. But this was an AMAZING experience. We had excellent service, everything was incredibly tasty, and the recommendations were fierce! I even had Madeira (which I didn't even know existed anymore). This was an expensive evening out, but well worth it in my opinion! If you have a chance, I think you have to check this place out.

    The food was amazing. The service was great. I would come here several times a week. I was really impressed with all the flavors there were several things that I don't usually like that were straight up perfect here. Try everything!!

    This is the wine bar I've been waiting and hoping for in Minneapolis. A wine list that is expertly crafted, unique, and accompanied by an actual master sommelier walking you through the experience. The food was awesome - curated cheese and meat pairings, along with a great kale salad and canned veggies. And the environment was warm, clean, and filled with positive energy. We can't wait to return!

    Had the pickle plate (beets, cabbage, crab apples, and turnip) all very good. And the peanut butter and kimchi sandwich! All very good, hope they keep expanding on their fermented foods.

    i'm not a "foodie," and i don't really know shit about wine or cheese--but that doesn't mean i don't love both. this place is completely unpretentious and cool. every staff person i've met has been really informative, fun, and welcoming. the place itself is modern, minimalist, beautiful, but low-key. i stumbled up on this place, and i'm so glad i did. a hidden gem for sure.

    This is a great space to enjoy a relaxed night out filled with tasty drinks, snacks, and good conversation. It has a simple ambiance with a well-curated list of wine/beer and cheese (thumbs up on the HammerHeart inclusion). With a concept that could come across as pretentious to some, Gyst avoids those pitfalls by providing excellent service. There is no "eye-rolling" towards the ignorant here... but rather a warm welcome, helpful advice, and a legitimate concern for your enjoyment.

    I was wrapping up a short week of food in the TC and someone mentioned Gyst. I hadn't been to a fermented food restaurant before but was interested to find out what it would be like. I had a reservation at a well known fancy restaurant later that night so I didn't want too much. I was very glad that Gyst ruined my appetite because the quality and passion were well worth it. I did go to my reservation and enjoyed the meal, but it wasn't exciting as Gyst. I asked the bar for a cheese plate and pour short pours of wine til we were done so I could try a number of the wines, and they happily accommodated. We doubled back on a couple of cheeses (the sheep's from Missouri was spectacular), and the bar just kept pouring more and more interesting wines. The Georgian wine was particularly interesting (very unusual so don't get it if you're picky). I just can't say enough. I have plenty of street creds in the restaurant world and this was definitely worth the trip all by itself.

    Authentic, simple, and absolutely delicious. Eat here. Now. Seriously, this place is run by people who knows what they're talking about. Without this experienced staff, it would be just another trendy bar. This place is here to stay.

    Gyst is a cute wine bar with amazing cheese and meat platters. Our server was incredibly helpful and found us all wines that we loved. A little on the pricier side ($10-$13 a glass) but totally worth it. We also ordered the motherboard which is a combo of meats, cheeses and pickles and loved everything. Highly recommend checking it out!

    Gyst is one of a kind in MSP. Without being at all pretentious, they serve sophisticated wine, unusual twists on familiar food, and deliver prompt but casual friendly service. I'd expect to find a place like Gyst in a nice Manhattan neighborhood. In Minneapolis, it's a bigger gem. Hats off to them for seeking out great flavors at fair prices.

    If you're a foodie and a big fan of cheese boards, this is the place for you. If you like big portions of hearty food on a chilly winter night, this is not the place for you. I was a little lost with the menu and not as adventurous as the foodies I came with. The wine selection is vast, ranging in price from average to really spendy; and the staff are knowledgable and friendly. FYI: The place doesn't have any signage out front, so it's easy to miss.

    These girls/guys really are bringing something special to the Minneapolis region; culture, literally. Cheese, wine, kombucha, chocolate, mmmm...chocolate! It's awesomely refreshing to find such passionate foodies following their hearts, doubling down and living their fermented dreams. This place is the best, new, undiscovered gem I've found so far in Minnesota. It's worth the trip!

    This place has a great concept for locals to dine-all fermented foods and drinks. I first attended a cheese sampling event here. Our friendly server, was actually one of the owners. It's wonderful to see the owners present amongst patrons. They serve mostly local foods and drinks, so I had to try the dark ale beer. Thumbs up! The second time I went they were out, so I had a delicious red wine. I would come back again and again for the grilled cheese with Artisan MN sauerkraut! Sounds strange I know, but the cheese with sour and crunch is splendid! The cheese and meat plate comes out on this slab of wood. Very creative. Did I mention how yummy that grilled cheese was?!
