Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.saksbar.com Sak's is one of the more active sports bars in the Metro: people don't just come here to watch games, they show up to play them. The bar features its own volleyball pit, while activities turn over to broomball and boot hockey as weather accommodates. If you're the type who would rather fill up on wings than bump a volleyball, Sak's offers a full menu of everything from bar food favorites to sirloin, ribs and walleye. More >>
http://www.sallyssaloon.net Sally's Saloon and Bar is immediately identifiable as a place to be if you're looking for a party. The large space is packed with pool tables, arcade machines and drinking games. The radio plays a stream of top hits for patrons to dance to under bright and colorful lights hanging from the ceiling. There are nightly specials and themes, but don't think the guys will be left out with the commonly themed ladies' night -- yes, there's a men's night, too. Other bar highlights are the nightly 2 for 1s, free drinks on Thursday nights from 10 p.m. to close, and $2 bartender's choice shots. More >>
http://www.salutbaramericain.com Modern lounge bar lights provide a nice backdrop for rail dwellers at this French-themed eatery on Grand Avenue. Award winning pomme frites will likely go well with any $4 house wine or tap beer during happy hour. Speaking of wine, Salut keeps a respectable list while featuring different bottles daily. More >>
http://www.santorinimn.com With its replicas of ancient Greek artifacts, nightclub atmosphere, and booze-fueled bar crowds hitting the dance floor, Santorini Taverna is the My Big Fat Greek Wedding of local Greek restaurants-a fun-loving island vacation. (Santorini's is owned by members of the Nicklow family, the group behind the eponymous restaurant in Crystal, along with several other local dining establishments, whose followers are known to pack the place as tight as rice-filled grape leaves.) When it comes to food, stick with a "when in Greece" approach, as the traditional fare is what Santorini's does best. The Greek Peasant Sampler is loaded with Greek-American's greatest hits (spinach pie, stuffed grape leaves, thin slices of gyro meat with tzatziki yogurt dip) and lesser-known items, such as loukaniko, a spicy, fennel-tinged sausage, and a phyllo-wrapped pastichio, which is a bit like a portable moussaka. And don't forget an order of flaming cheese--Opah! More >>
Scalzo's Italian Grille at the Ramada offers a happy hour seven days a week, a variety of tap and bottled beers, and seasonal drink options like "winter warmers." And if you can't decide, you can just order the draft sampler and try a variety. The atmosphere has the feel of a familiar, well-decorated family basement, with candles, books, booths, and a warm energy. It also caters to the business crowd, offering large meeting spaces with the same sociable mood. The bar also offers a full menu and buffet. More >>
http://www.schoonertavern.com A true locals-type bar right in the heart of Seward. The well-worn, nautical-themed (natch) interior gives the feeling that's it been here since Minneapolis was incorporated as a city. Order a Heggie's pizza if you get hungry or just belly up and listen to local cover, blues, funk and soul bands that play on the weekends. More >>
Schuller's Tavern has been tucked away on a quiet road in Golden Valley since 1929, and looks like an old hunting lodge from the outside. Inside, you'll find a homey bar that looks as though it hasn't been touched in ages. Featuring food, on/off sales, pull tabs, bingo and live entertainment, this quaint little spot is a great place to get away from loud dance music and ubiquitous bachelorette parties, and you only need to venture a few minutes west of downtown Minneapolis. More >>
Get a beanbag, billiard or brew fix at this Coon Rapids neighborhood pub. Inside, Vikings paraphernalia adorns a V-shaped bar surrounded by high tops. An outdoor smoking area is provided during winter months. A pure suburban sports bar that has evolved with the times: beanbag toss takes precedence over pool or darts. More >>
http://www.serumsanoka.com Serum's Good Time Emporium transports you back to the days when streetcars lined Jackson Avenue and the Rum River was the only means of transport. Anoka certainly has come a long way since then, and Serum's celebrates that time with its monumental collection of antiques. The pieces range from nostalgic childhood toys to black and white photos of the city, all of which fit in with the restored building where Serum's resides. The brick walls, wood floors and booths all give Serum's a rugged feel, but the bar maintains a welcoming hometown vibe. More >>
http://www.thecornerbar.net A wide-open room with high ceilings and a centrally-located bar, the Corner Bar has a roomy feel to it that makes even the most crowded nights feel spacious. Friday night open mics and Saturday comedy lineups are regular highlights. More >>
http://www.thesevilleclub.com Not all strip clubs are created equal, and the Seville knows it. So instead of coasting on its fortuitous proximity to the Target Center and Target Field, this gentlemen's club makes sure to emphasize its air of class and refinement to the hilt. The dancers have one foot in old-school burlesque traditions, the waitstaff and crew are notably courteous, and the decor is heavy on classical artwork and exposed brick. More >>
http://www.crnook.com A music venue without an intrusive stage presence, a theme restaurant without the franchised mediocrity, an Irish pub without the manufactured schmaltz -- Shamrock's is a lot of things, but a sincere local fixture is at the top of the list. Lots of quirky entertainment fixtures are scattered about the place -- the most notable being a skill crane machine where the prize is a live lobster the kitchen will cook for you -- and there's a festive atmosphere that's suitable for families, sports fans and beer drinkers alike. (On that latter note, their tap features everything from local favorites like Summit and Finnegan's to Irish standards like Harp, Smithwick's and Guinness.) But the room has retained enough of its old-school West 7th charm to make the place feel like it's belonged there forever. More >>
http://www.shawsbarandgrill.com At first glance, Shaw's appears to be a typical sports bar, displaying neon lights, high top tables, familiar beer on tap, a patio and an array of regulars. However, after a look around, these seemingly plain wall hangings reveal themselves as a much more unique collection of music-themed art (some local) and old vinyl collection turned decoration. The corner is set up with a large stage to host nights of rhythm & blues, jazz and open jam sessions. The bartenders and clientele make newcomers feel incredibly welcome, and recommend a beer or an item from the menu of legendary burgers and bar food. More >>
The Sherwood Lounge sits on a quiet stretch of White Bear Avenue on the eastern edge of St. Paul. Quiet, that is, if you don't consider the outdoor speakers broadcasting the games presented on the sports bar-sized televisions inside. But that atmosphere isn't obtrusive - this bar is welcoming and comfortable, and features game-related events including corn feeds, bingo, Texas hold 'em, and more. More >>
http://www.shorewoodgrill.com You want a view of a lake? Fine Mediterranean food and an extensive wine list? Big band jazz on Tuesdays, Karaoke on Wednesdays, and an assortment of live musical acts on the weekends? Belly dancing lessons? The Shorewood Bar & Grill has all this, and more. Situated amidst many of the more divey, small-town bars of suburbia, this spot -- featuring a full restaurant as well as a separate bar/lounge area with a small stage and dance floor -- pops up as a pleasant surprise as you head up Central Avenue and across Moore Lake. More >>
http://www.theshouthouse.com This Block E piano bar is popular with the after-work set, especially the audience-request and sing-along aspects of the entertainment. More >>
There's a certain stretch of Washington Avenue bordering downtown Minneapolis that acts as a sort of red light district for the area, and Sinners is right at the heart of it. An offshoot of the massive adult shop Sex World, Sinners has the same no alcohol/full nude approach as some of the other strip clubs in the area, though its reputation as a high-class, worker-friendly operation makes for an additional draw. More >>
http://www.skinnersmn.com One of a handful of local watering holes that line a stretch of Randolph, Skinner's Pub's fare -- including house-specialty sandwiches and build-your-own pizzas -- is ideal for a late-night nosh, whether watching a game on the above-bar flatscreen or just hanging out with friends and family. Livelier than a dive, more rootsy than a sports bar -- and dig the indoor mural dedicated to AWA pro wrestling legend "Mad Dog" Vachon. More >>
http://www.skywaytheatre.com Back in the '70s, this was downtown Minneapolis's main venue to catch the latest blockbuster movie. Now it's the center of a four-story club complex, retrofitting the old multiplex into a dance club and live music space with the kind of booming sound and open sightlines that concert spaces demand. More >>
http://www.ultimatefunbar.com If the ideal bar is all things to all people, Sneaky Pete's has that lofty goal in its sights. A sizable space with room and ambiance enough to meet its sports bar/nightclub/restaurant crossover approach, this light rail-adjacent party spot offers dine-in and take-out eating, patio seating, more than four dozen flatscreen TVs, and frequent dance party nights. More >>
http://www.solera-restaurant.com The Twin Cities were forever changed the fateful night that this four-story tapas bar opened in the middle of downtown. It wasn't just the Gaudi-inspired architecture with all that Barcelona style that changed Minnesota. And it wasn't just that Solera has probably this country's best sherry list, and one of the best Spanish wine lists. It wasn't even the sunny rooftop party deck, with its house-music-all-night-long summer vibe. It was this: Suddenly Minnesotans of every income could get a taste of richly nuanced, deeply spiced, purely pleasurable cooking, at a quarter of the price that had made critics swoon. Sit at the chef-staffed tapas bar for the most purely gourmet treats (just ask the chef to cook for you). More >>
