|
|
The Triple Rock is always a great place to grab a beer and chow, with a good selection of booze and some of the best diner food in town. Portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and nearly everything on the menu can be made vegetarian- or vegan-friendly. A marked exception to the last... More >> |

The Poet's Groove
|
|
|
Lots of open mics are awkward, empty affairs, tucked into corners of coffee houses and bars, their schedules unreliable. The Poet's Groove is something else entirely. It's been a weekly Seward neighborhood institution for six years, and calls the Blue Nile home. Hip-hop/spoken-word artist (and... More >> |

Vegas Lounge Karaoke
|
|
|
If you were to guess the vibe of the Vegas Lounge based solely on the name, you might expect to find a bar with a retro "Rat Pack" style. But you would be wrong. This is not what you will actually find at the Vegas Lounge in Northeast, though, oddly enough, one night I did see a dead ringer for... More >> |

$50 Pyramid
|
|
|
Talk-show host, MC, and barroom ringmaster Ian Rans is putting a new spin on the ubiquitous bar trivia with his riff on the classic game show The $10,000 Pyramid.

Karaoke Night

The outside of U Otter Stop Inn features a mural of a dapper otter decked out in a top hat, suit, and bow tie, his googly eyes and martini glass saluting patrons knowingly.

Hit or Miss Tuesdays
|
|
|
Standup comedy is a lot like swimming: The only way to find out you're any good at it is to try it out yourself, and there's a significant chance of dying that first time. But if you think you're funny and want to give it a shot, a great place to jump in is at Hit or Miss Tuesdays at Rick... More >> |

Open Mic Night
|
|
|
Acme's "Caught in the Act" open-mic night may well be the best free show in the Twin Cities. The lineup is a balanced blend of unpredictable and excitable first-timers, up-and-coming amateurs trying to impress, and the club's deep and versatile roster of house comics honing their acts. Acme's... More >> |

The Breaks
|
|
|
Kung fu, hip hop, and breakdancing might seem like an unlikely combination, but once you experience this threesome you'll understand that it's as tasty as peanut butter, banana, and honey. Friday night's party, dubbed the Breaks, gives you the opportunity to do just that. Step inside the... More >> |

331 Drinking Spelling Bee
|
|
|
As anyone who has ever sent an email or text while drunk knows, proper grammar, spelling, and coherence go right out the window when buzzed. But unless you are sending something regrettable to a former flame or a judgmental relative, the results are usually good for a laugh the next day. At... More >> |

Fairly Rude Trivia
|
|
|
Most trivia nights have at least one question or category that does a team in. Perhaps you and your friends know nothing of sports, or history questions from a certain era tend to trip you up. At the Nomad's Fairly Rude Trivia, all questions are guaranteed to in one of these three categories:... More >> |

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 >> |

Over the past couple of months, the Bakken Library and Museum has begun to offer new programs. One of these events is Free Second Saturday.
