Make all the jokes you want about the climate differences between Kingston and Minneapolis, but the cultural ones aren't as hard to reconcile. The aptly dubbed Lynval "Golden Voice" Jackson and his band have been a welcome and frequent presence in Twin Cities clubs for years now, and they're... More >> |

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School
|
|
|
Classroom drawing sessions are important for beginners; studio and freelance work help pay the bills; and setting up an easel by the lake is a nice way to spend an afternoon. Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School is a slightly different experience from all of these things. Every fourth Sunday... More >> |

Barhopping: Town Hall Brewery
|
|
|
Visiting a bar that makes its own beer can be a dodgy affair. Though it is a noble art to brew one's own, it doesn't always work out for the best. Beers may turn out watery or strangely flavored, or you could end up with a handful of varieties that all somehow manage to taste the same. The fine... More >> |

Once simply a serviceable spot for a beer at the bar, or on the patio if the weather was nice, Clubhouse Jäger has grown from just a fine pub to a Warehouse District hot spot that hosts a variety of special nights. There's JägerCon Sci-Fi Tuesdays, where geeks can enjoy a brew while... More >> |

A Sake and Sumo Happy Hour at moto-i
|
|
|
You may have heard rumblings about a sake restaurant opening in Uptown recently. Though it might be a little hard to find, despite its obvious location on Lyndale right by Lake Street, it's definitely worth a visit. And while the sake fridge at Surdyk's is certainly impressive, moto-i takes... More >> |

Located next to the Jungle Theater, just a skip away from the intersection of Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue, the Lyndale Tap House is another Uptown location that serves a good pint of beer. And you truly can't have too many of those. It has also been scandalously reported that girlie pinups... More >> |

An Epic Beer List: The Muddy Pig
|
|
|
The Muddy Pig is not a pub for indecisive drinkers. With nearly 50 globe-spanning beers on tap, from just down the road at Summit Brewery and as far away as Belgium and most European countries, as well as dozens of bottled cold ones, there are more than enough brews to satisfy even the most...

Happy Hour

Yes, it's true that most people have a tequila story that isn't one they like to remember. Usually it involves college and too many shots after already having too many beers. The following morning, the survivor will hold the notorious hard liquor solely responsible, swearing it off completely... More >> |

Daily Happy Hours

This time last year, the area surrounding the corner of Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue was alarming in its increasing vacancy. Victims of the economy included Heavenly Soles, Vera's Café, and jP American Bistro. Thankfully, things seem to be picking up. One recent addition is Sauce... More >> |

The Sample Room is known for its impressive list of flights and tapas-sized plates ideal for sharing.

Blingo

A night of bingo may sound pretty square, but Blingo brings out the big pimpin', glamorous side of the game. How? Rather than being held in a cold, stale church basement, this ongoing party takes place in fun bars like the 331 Club and the Triple Rock Social Club. So bring some friends, order... More >> |

Yes, Bad Waitress is an ironic title. No, you will not have a waitress this evening. Yes, you should tip the person who takes your order at the register. Here's how you do it: Pick a seat, peruse the menu, then pick up an order pad and write down what you want. Take it over to the register and... More >> |

Happy Hour at Great Waters Brewing Company
|
|
|
There are several things that made Great Waters Brewing Company's debut auspicious. First, the idea for a brew pub that makes its own beer came about after the owner, Sean O'Byrne, lost his job to corporate downsizing. Then the pub opened on the most intense day of the year for bars: St.... More >> |

Sure, the other two Bulldogs (St. Paul and Northeast) are a little more posh, and the clientele is perhaps a little more affluent as well, but we will always have a soft spot for the less fancy location in Uptown. That said, it's hardly a dive. The crowds are mostly from the neighborhood, and... More >> |

Date Night: Tasting for Two

|
While the official name of this Tuesday-night special isn't cheap date night, it certainly works as an affordable outing for you and your sweetie (or budding relationship).

$5 Happy Hour

With its posh fireplace, leather seats for two, and dim lighting, it is easy to see the sexy appeal of this Foshay tower bar. And while it certainly looks expensive, during happy hour it isn't. From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. each day guests can order from a special $5 menu. Bar bites to share include... More >> |

With a name like Spill the Wine you'd better have a killer wine list to back it up. Our verdict? Not too shabby. If you feel intimidated by the menu, let the prices and categories lead the way, or ask your server for a popular variety based on what you like. Those who enjoy wine know that... More >> |

Okay, so there are a lot of Indian restaurants right now in downtown Minneapolis. Some offer fusion cuisine while some are more traditional, some are posh while others are casual.

Midnight Party
|
|
|
"Surreal" as an evocative descriptor loses all meaning when a show like the Walker Art Center's "Midnight Party" goes up. As if one film by Matthew Barney isn't bizarre enough to incite a week's worth of nightmares and/or inspire a streak of creativity sure to have critics and family members... More >> |

Hot Dish Happy Hour/Vino Vinyl
|
|
|
Throwing the words "hot dish" together with "happy hour" might sound odd. One usually entails booze, while the other reminds us of Grandma's comfort food. Yet somehow at Grumpy's this combo works spectacularly. Tuesday nights from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. you can load up on the carbs, meats, and... More >> |

Acadia Cafe's Beer-tastic Happy Hour

For reasons I will never understand, the number of places around the city that offer wi-fi and beer are sparse. However, the ones that do are spectacular. Acadia Café is certainly an example of a great place where you can check your email, write a school paper, and talk politics with... More >> |

Half-Off Wine Nights

Ever order up a pizza only to find yourself served something barely edible? Though we Americans love our pizza, we apparently have a pretty low bar for the beloved dish. Cardboard crusts; melted, yellow no. 5 plastic cheese; and salty tomato sauce are all too common. Thankfully, this is not the... More >> |

Weekday Happy Hour

Happy hour can be a tricky thing if you work a regular job. Most are over by 6 p.m., so forget it if you're a commuter. And sometimes staying out past 9 p.m. is just not an option. Thankfully, some bars and restaurants have more friendly drink specials and hours. Eat Street's Pancho Villa would... More >> |
