Items like the hand-woven baskets helped set the stage for her store's core offering. "They were always staples in my house growing up." "Not only are they beautiful and functional, but they also represent this deep tradition of the Mayan community," says Stokman, a Colorado native who relocated her Littleton-based brick-and-mortar to the Twin Cities last month. Take Stokman's best-selling pine needle baskets, for instance.
Both avid collectors of artisan-made home goods, Ivers grew up surrounded by everyday essentials that blend form and function. Paul storefront The Olive Branch, attributes her love of beautiful household objects to her grandmother and mother. While I would recommend this place, I would also note that there is room for improvement.Mary Sarah Stokman, owner of new St. The Score: Overall, I would rate Groveland Tap a 7 out of 10. The fish was flaky and tasted good but the pieces were thin and seemed rather batter-heavy for my taste. While sampling a couple of beers I saw the cooks fill up containers of Grain Belt to be used in the batter. The fish came in the form of huge pieces of beer battered pollock. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good fish and chips. However, this fish fry reminded me more an English style fish and chips. The FISH: The fish fry was $10.50 and was an All You Can Eat. I must admit that I do prefer a baked potato or hash browns with a true midwestern fish fry. The slaw was quite good and so were the fries. The Sides: The fish was accompanied by a large basket of fries and a side of coleslaw. The bar is crowded, loud and a great place to hang out while you wait. Weather permitting there is also a nice outside seating area on St. The front area looks nice and seemed more “restaurant-like.” The back area seemed more like a bar (high tops and bar stools). The Atmosphere: The restaurant has two eating areas separated by a long and narrow bar. Had we needed any more fish, she would have brought it quickly. The waitress was very friendly and quite attentive. The Wait: This is a popular spot and the wait can easily be 45-60 minutes. With the beers available, it has never occurred to me to order an old fashioned here. There are over 40 different beers offered, 34 of which are ice cold and straight from the tap. Quite frankly, I don’t think they even serve liquor in this place. A neighborhood beer and burger joint, the Groveland Tap is your home away from home Order over a pound of wings, a Cajun Lucy, or some golden cheese curds and you'll understand why our family friendly dining room is always packed. The Old Fashioned: While no Wisconsin fish fry is complete without a brandy old fashioned, there is no need for brandy at Groveland Tap. The selection changes often and you can explore every time you are here. There is an extensive selection of local and foreign beers on tap, as the name suggests.
The beers are all listed on a giant chalkboard behind the bar. The Beer: Groveland Tap has at least 40 different beers on tap. There is no dedicated parking lot however, you should be able to find a spot within a block or two. The restaurant is located a couple of blocks from Macalester College and not far from Snelling Avenue.
