Featured Bars and Clubs


http://www.bluenilempls.com Modern humans evolved in Ethiopia, but what did our distant ancestors eat? Possibly something like injera, a fermented flatbread made from one of the earliest cultivated grains, called teff. At the Blue Nile, a large restaurant that often has live music and dancing in the attached bar, a big injera arrives at your table bearing ladles of stew; raafuu, for instance, a kale-carrot blend, or maraka lukuu, chicken on the bone in a thick, rich tomato-laced butter sauce. Order a sampler platter, and you'll get most of the best items on the menu at minimal expense. Tear off sections of the injera and use them to scoop up the stews. As you tear and scoop your way through your meal, consider this: What would Lucy have made of Doritos? Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.bogartsplace.com Tucked away in a hard-to-find spot in Apple Valley (don't blink or you'll miss it -- it's near the intersection of Garrett and Galaxie), Bogart's Place is a unique venue for three major reasons. 1: It is Humphrey Bogart-themed. 2: It has a bowling alley. 3: Coolio has played here. Check it out for its spacious bars, dance floor, DJ nights, live entertainment, and Texas Hold 'Em. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.eagleboltbar.com Bolt's space is decidedly more techno-industrial than the pub-like ambiance of the adjoining Minneapolis Eagle. Brick walls and music video-playing projection screens dominate around a chrome rectangular bar and lofty ceilings with exposed pipework. Bolt dims the lights on Thursdays for goth-themed/darkwave "Chamber" nights. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.thebrassraillounge.com Is the Gay '90s a bit too labyrinthine? Simplify next door at the Brass Rail, where a narrow but deep bar extends into a dancing lounge complete with cushioned seating. The shows here are also stripped down, literally. Skip the drag get-ups and makeup, go straight to the skin: Brass Rail hosts a male revue Wednesday through Sunday. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.britspub.com I say, old bean, want to run round to Brit's for a pint and a gander at some young, attractive professionals, wot? And Scotch eggs? Well, Scotch eggs if you lose a bet. Who eats a bread-crumb coated-sausage ball formed around a hard-boiled egg? That's what happens when you have to pick between cuisine and empire. Anyhoo, the lawn-bowling court out back is a real treasure, and if you score a Friday-night table, a couple of pints, and a plate of the ale-battered fish and chips, you might just end the night singing "God Save the Queen" to one of the comely up-and-comers that frequent the spot.

http://www.brothersbar.com The number of sports bars around the Target Center/Field nexus in downtown Minneapolis might be too numerous to count, but Brothers fills its own niche in a busy district. With its vast cellar-level space, pool tables and bar games, armada of flatscreen TVs and a lighthearted, nostalgic decor, Brothers has all the feel of a well-maintained basement rec room -- only a whole lot bigger.

One of the staunchest opponents of the 2008 Minnesota bars smoking ban, Bugg's in South St. Paul embodies a working class ethos and the value of personal freedoms. It's freedom that is celebrated on one bar wall, where framed pictures and street signs provide ample evidence that Bugg's appreciates our nation's veterans. A new wooden patio provides a view of winter broom ball and boot hockey league games, while horseshoe leagues are featured during warmer months. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.thebulldoglowertown.com The TVs, dartboards and shuffleboard table might say "sports bar", but the subtle decor and wide-open atmosphere makes the Lowertown location of this Twin Cities institution one of the neighborhood's most attractive nightlife destinations for residents and visitors alike. Besides, your typical sports bar doesn't boast the connoisseur-caliber beer selection and above-average food that the Bulldog offers. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.thebulldognortheast.com The Bulldog is big old bar-bar, the kind of place with napkin dispensers on the tables and hockey on the TVs, which also has steak tartare, house-made terrine, and elegant salads on the menu. Burgers are made with kobe beef, and the fresh, square-cut fries that arrive with the burger are as golden as croissants and taste as real as daylight. The Bulldog N.E. has a very nice little wine list, but the real drinking delights are in its remarkable beer selections--British import Young's Double Chocolate Stout goes far better with the unobtrusively gourmet-ified chili dog than wine ever could.

http://www.thebulldogmpls.com Humans have weird superstitions about food, as any rhinoceros without his horn can tell you. However, ration and practical skepticism notwithstanding, please know that the Chicago Beef at Bulldog kills hangovers dead. Dead! No one knows why. Is it the steamy beef? The hot giardinera, all fire, vegetable, vinegar, and pop? Is it the golden-griddled bun? Is the magical power therein doubled by the addition of chili-cheese fries? Who knows? The mysteries here are impermeable to the forces of logic. Please know that the burgers are also good here, crisp and well seared, and the hot dogs are textbook renditions.

http://www.bunkersmusic.com The Warehouse District might have changed a bit in the last decade or so, but Bunker's has maintained its longtime Washington Avenue space as one of the strongest neighborhood music bars and restaurants in town. Legends tell of the occasional impromptu Prince drop-in jam session appearance, though longtime resident bands like the International Reggae All-Stars and funky R&B specialists Dr. Mambo's Combo are top-notch draws in themselves. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.bunnysbarandgrill.com Bunny's Bar & Grill has been a St. Louis Park institution for over 70 years, delivering a wide array of food and beverages to its faithful patrons. Game days get pretty lively, with fans crowding the spacious bar, tuning in to Bunny's vast amounts of big screen TV's. The neighborhood atmosphere of the place is sure to make you feel welcome no matter what team you're cheering for. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.busterson28th.com Neighborhood bar known for its large beer list--dozens of hard-to-find drafts come from as close as Wisconsin and as far as Belgium. Better-than-average bar food includes bison burgers and homemade salt-and-vinegar potato chips. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.myspace.com/theccclub Upon first impression, the C.C. Club appears to be just a typical sports-bar-style dive joint. However, after spending just moments inside, you'll notice a young, trendy, energetic crowd that frequents the bar to enjoy its comfortable, informal and entertaining vibe. The booths sport pleather, the walls are paneled wood, and the full bar is decorated with twinkling lights. The jukebox plays familiar rock music, and there are Pac-Man tables and arcade games for entertainment. However, a majority of the young urban patrons are engrossed in a stream of pool games and cigarette breaks on the noteworthy smoking patio. The bar offers a variety of drinks with nightly beer specials and a full menu. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.cabooze.com Named for its intentional resemblance to a super-sized train's caboose, this light-rail-adjacent venue has long stood as one of the area's most prominent blue-collar clubs. Though its bikers-and-blues atmosphere is what gives the Cabooze its working-class charm, it also plays host to country, indie rock, hip hop, jam bands and everything in between. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.camp-bar.net A relaxed atmosphere and a subtle self-awareness help this quietly popular St. Paul gay bar stand out. Flatscreens, artsy decor and comfortable couches give it an accessibly upscale atmosphere. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
Like other South Minneapolis bars of its ilk, the Cardinal Tavern serves beer, wine, and no booze. But dry your eyes -- it offers plenty more to make up for it. The bar has a full kitchen with great specials on burgers, carries Jakeeno's Pizza (another South Minneapolis mainstay), offers karaoke, pool tables, darts, and game specials. And, most importantly, it's just a jump away from the 38th Street Light Rail station, making it a convenient place to stop pre- or post-game. Read more about this Minneapolis bar or club >>
http://www.spiritsandsound.com Occupying a space in Uptown that has in recent years been inhabited then ducked out of by a string of other businesses, and most recently on the heels of a compulsory name change (fun with anagrams - switching around the S and the C in SAUCE), Cause Spirits & Soundbar has proven itself to be the bar/venue that could. Difficult as it is to open and sustain any new venue, Cause has been a tried-and-true hot spot for live music, food and drinks in Uptown since its opening, in no small part due to the closing of the neighborhood's other major venue - the Hennepin Avenue location of the Uptown Bar. With a nightly mix of happy hour specials, live music, DJs and trivia, the venue also boasts a rotating selection of pieces by some of the best local artists, as well as an eclectic cocktail menu randomly inspired by Beastie Boys songs.
