Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.railstationbarandgrill.com At first sight, the Rail Station Bar and Grill -- located conveniently on Minnehaha just blocks from the 38th Street Light Rail station -- seems like most other bars in the neighborhood. It's got a daily happy hour. A Tuesday night wing night and game specials. Pull tabs, Bargo, trivia, karaoke and a meat raffle. But take note: unlike other bars within the vicinity, the Rail Station has a full bar, including hard liquor. Plus, on Thursday afternoons from 11-2, it offers free therapeutic chair massages to customers. And the side of the building has a cool train car attached to it, apropros to the rail-heavy neighborhood. More >>
http://www.first-avenue.com This dance-party alcove of First Avenue used to be called the VIP Lounge, but that name never quite fit. That's because the shows that take place in what is now called the Record Room are a lot more democratic, freewheeling and affordable than the "strict and fashionable dress code enforced" velvet-rope ramparts scattered across downtown Minneapolis. Recurring DJ nights abound, from deep drum'n'bass events to get-wild hip hop sets. If your idea of seeing and being seen involves unpretentious style and the chance to listen to music that goes deeper than Top 40, this is your late-night destination. More >>
This iconic south Minneapolis hipster hangout delivers a punch--a Wondrous Punch, that is, the mega-sized drink full of rummy fruit goodness and wicked strong ferocity. The dining room is filled with black and red traditional Chinese-American décor from back in the day, down to the paper menus with Chinese horoscopes. No one really talks too much about the food at Red Dragon, although we like getting the appetizer platter and cooking skewers of beef over an open flame, and the fried chicken wings are very good in a bad-for-you kind of way. But Red Dragon is really all about drinking crazy strong drinks while sitting in a vinyl booth full of cracks, in a bar so dark you don"t know whether it's day or night and don"t really care. The jukebox kicks ass, too. Warning: Beware of the Wondrous hangover. More >>
http://www.redoaksteaksandwine.com Patrons of Red Oak might not know that owner Tom Katt is one of country music festival WE Fest's original creators. Ask for him at the bar, and he might have a story or two. Katt's chateau-like Red Oak reaches for a rustic yet elegant décor. Taxidermy work is prominent throughout the wall space, and three tiers of bar shelves put real meaning into "top shelf." One of the classiest places to grab an after-work cocktail in Lino Lakes.

http://www.redseaclub.com The Red Sea as been a staple of the West Bank for two decades. The attached restaurant provides a diverse Ethiopian menu that caters to both vegetarian and carnivorous eaters, and the bar hosts local entertainment every night. The cheap drinks and friendly staff make it a great place to see some local up-and-comers. More >>
http://www.redstagsupperclub.com This latest venture from Kim Bartmann, proprietor of Barbette and the Bryant-Lake Bowl, is Minnesota's first LEED-certified restaurant. Fortunately, this information isn't pushed on diners: A supper club should be fun, not educational. And that convivial, old-school supper-club aura has not been lost here, despite the modern touches in the room and on the seasonal menu. The small plate menu features a pleasing chop salad with pomegranate seeds, Gruyere, and puffed wild rice. Entrees include everything from duck with house-made butternut squash ravioli to a six-ounce flatiron steak with potato puree and broccoli rabe. It may not be the supper club of bygone days, when multiple generations of families settled in at group tables for the night, but the Red Stag is at least as inviting. More >>
http://www.republicmn.com When local restaurateur Matty O'Reilly, owner of the 318 and Aster Cafés, took over Preston's Urban Pub (formerly the decades-old Sergeant Preston's) on Seven Corners and replaced it with a concept called Republic, the news rankled some of the college bar's loyal clientele. But O'Reilly didn't do much to change Preston's character-rich space, beyond remove the flat-screen televisions, neon beer signs, and arcade games that detracted from the building's exposed brick walls, lofted tin ceilings, and ornate stained-glass windows. (Fear not, the iconic taxidermied deer, bison, and moose heads remain, as does the lovely patio.) Even without Preston's perilous fishbowls of booze, the place has maintained its student-hangout cred. O'Reilly made some nice upgrade: the smart, 32 tap beers and plates of scratch-cooked, pub-style fare are all priced for modest budgets--hardly anything costs more than $10. Favorites include the Thousand Hills beef and Wild Acres turkey burgers, the fish and chips, and the sausage and potatoes. For dessert, the $2 sweets pack plenty of satisfaction into three bites. You can sample the whole array of choices, then order seconds--or thirds--of your favorites. More >>
http://www.houseofcomedy.net Perched high above the roller coasters in the Mall of America is Rick Bronson's House of Comedy. On any given night laugh fanatics can catch a familiar face from Comedy Central or a local up-and-comer. The room may see all walks of life due to the touristy location, but its attentive waitstaff and enticing menu will easily accommodate both the wealthy traveler and the average comedy fan. More >>
http://www.ricks.com One of the gentlemen's club franchise's twenty locations across the country, Rick's offers a full bar and fancy lounge area with plush seating. Mini lanterns are scattered along the copper bar, and behind it the old-fashioned wooden built-ins house a vast liquor selection. The bar and lounge area are separate from the stage, but there are plenty of girls wandering through. The early open time of 11 a.m. on weekdays is one of the perks of Rick's, along with its daily happy hours and full lunch and dinner menu. Special nights range from Sunday's service industry night to Monday's amateur night to the flashback-hits format on the agenda for Wednesday afternoons. If you're driving to Rick's, take advantage of the valet, and once you're inside be sure to ask about the VIP services available. More >>
http://www.rileyspubandgrill.com Riley's recently took over for the old Beer Belly's in an Oakdale strip mall. New ownership plays it smart with a sports bar theme. Pool tables line a holiday light-laden wooden bar. Red vinyl booths provide comfortable seating to bar diners or drinkers. DJs and bands book a corner stage space on the weekends when patrons can cash in on generous drink specials from 9-11. More >>
http://www.theriverview.net Do you drink wine fairly often, and wish you knew more about it? Do you find you can't take a class because your free time is occupied with watching your heirs chew on large plastic keys? Well, load up the car seats and head to the Riverview Wine Bar, the greatest thing to happen to sociable parents since the invention of the backyard barbecue. The Riverview is two establishments connected by a door. On one side is a coffee shop with a vast play area, toys, little tables, and so forth, along with couches for the grownups (and all the coffee drinks you could ever want); on the other side is a romantic wine bar with a fireplace, great snacks like olives and pizzas, and a wine list with a serious education mission. (Half a dozen wine flights are always available, which means you get three little glasses of wine chosen so that you can taste and explore a grape varietal or particular region--do this a dozen times a year and you'll know more about wine than half the servers in snooty restaurants.)

http://robertsoff10.homestead.com When Station 4 kids grow up, they'll probably hang out at Robert's off 10. The Mounds View venue mostly hosts live metal groups on more nights of the week than not, attracting the occasional national touring act. Check the bar's website for the local talent lineup on Tuesdays, which feature free drinks from 8 to 10 and free cover. The bar's also a welcoming spot to catch a Vikes game or shoot a few games of pool. More >>
http://www.rockbottom.com Located in the heart of the Theater District in downtown Minneapolis, Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery is an accessible spot to catch dinner and drinks before or after any event in the neighborhood. This brewpub offers a large Americana-style menu, as well as a wide variety of handcrafted beers brewed on-site. More >>
