Close Company - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Great shop. Their cocktails are EXCELLENT and everyone who works there is kind and fun. The atmosphere is intimate and great for event dinners like birthdays or Christmas parties. In the summer the patio brings the inside atmosphere outside and you can watch Stafford go by. The menu is evolving ... and I’ve never been let down. Make sure you get the focaccia with your meal and if you’re having a cocktail get the Gardener. Right now they’re also offering take out cocktail kits so you can make them at home; just add the booze! Read more

Such an amazing restaurant. Cocktails are amazing and food is always delicious! I went on Thursday and was also super impressed with their COVID-19 protocol. The staff were all wearing masks, and our server was very diligent on sanitizing her hands every time she came inside from the patio. Totally ... recommend to everyone! Read more

Fantastic little restaurant! Seats about a dozen inside and has a small patio during the summer. There's an adorable little porthole where they pass drinks to the patrons on the patio. They make some great cocktails, very original and tasty! This would be a fantastic place to book for special ... events! It's mostly a drinks and appetizers type of place. The chef's menu was not available the day we went, but there were plenty of yummy options on the "shared plates" menu. The menu isn't really suitable for vegetarians or vegans, though. Read more

I was on my way home from work today, and I decided I would treat myself to a little solo impromptu dinner. So, I decided I would go to Close Co. for the first time and try it out. I walked in, sat down and just as the server was ... handing over the menu I pushed it back towards her and said: "feed me." And WOW was I not disappointed. Chef and the lovely staff hit a grand slam! This unreal hole in the wall was great for connecting with the servers and other diners making the experience that much better. The food — was phenomenal! My chef's table consisted of oysters, homemade ricotta, warm lobster salad, meatballs and the best damn desert I have ever put in my mouth — the pannacotta! Perfect wine pairings throughout and a delicious Irish whiskey cocktail topped off this fantastic meal. I do have to apologize to my fiancé Alicia for going here without her... I know this may put me in the doghouse, but that means I get to come back soon! Read more

Small on space; big on heart and flavour. Great food doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple, fresh, quality ingredients mixed with a passion for finding combinations of flavour and textures that excites the palate. Great cocktails, too! Sooo enjoyed the chef’s menu and looking forward to seeing what you ... have planned next. Thanks for a delicious evening! Read more
