Dwight Bonewell and Adam Smith, owners of the former Nochee restaurant in Minneapolis, approached Shea to assist with reinventing their three-year-old Nochee concept and rebranding it as Harry's Food & Cocktails. The concept is a tribute to Bonewell's late grandfather Harry Snyder, who worked most of his career as a chef at legendary St. Paul hot spots, and the expansive menu is described as "traditional American fare with a modern twist."

The owners teamed with Shea to reconfigure Nochee by completely gutting the 5,000 sf space and adding dark hardwood floors, a fireplace, lots of booth seating, a new large bar, and an expansive open kitchen. Dark wood and white subway tile is complemented with warm finishes and fabrics. Decorative elements include custom glass light fixtures, framed black-and-white photography of Harry's friends and family, and a chandelier made from nearly 450 Grain Belt Premium beer bottles (Harry's favorite chaser to a shot of Jim Beam.) Shea also assisted with design of the new logo, menus, uniforms and signage.
