Ferris Bueller Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I live in Minneapolis. We really don't like outsiders, and don't be mislead by the 'Minnesota Nice' shit. I'll still give you recommendations as far as what to do, but first, you should give us all an idea of what you plan on doing while you're here, for the sake of narrowing things down.

deterrent Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 MITCH-Here is all you need to know. No smoking indoors, drink up on Bells (i miss it, matter-a-fact drink 2 for me after you've had too much), all bars close early like 1am or 2am- its easy to meet people and get invited after hour spots, 'bout every restraunt and bar has a happy hour: buy- 1-get-1 drinks or cheap food. 89.3 is the good radio, Minneapolis has the most strip clubs per capita, PS north doesn't always mean North... you'll see. The Triple Rock Social Club: punk rock-metal bar: They have cheap$ live acts all the time. A Good BEER SELECTION they do a great breakfast as well, I saw Naked Raygun there. http://www.triplerocksocialclub.com/ located at 629 Cedar Avenue on the West Bank in Minneapolis The CC Club Great punk rock dive bar, pool tables, outside patio BEST JUKEBOX i've seen period, and they have BELLS, well i think everyone offers Bells! (612) 874-7226 2600 Lyndale Ave S Fifth element record store- owned by rhymeslayers They have good cheapi$h clothing and mint condition old issues of LifeSucksDie, caps and gear as well. People are pretty freindly there, they know whats up with the art shows. http://www.fifthelementonline.com/ 612.377.0044 2411 Hennepin Ave S. Intermedia Arts- museum/gallery/graff wall-Outsider art museum - pro graffiti Talk to the workers they know whats up. While I was there was a Cycle & LadyPink mural on the front. In the back there was some Ohde & Woes. http://www.intermediaarts.org/ 2822 Lyndale Avenue South... ... The whole street here is pretty nice, go 4 blocks in either direction and there is good stuff to check out. Plus I forget the name of the convent store, but on the real FUCK Falafel KING. There is a small convent store that rocks them falafels the fuck out. Juxtaposition Arts Some times there is a decent party/art thing here. I think they have a new location, It was in a warehouse and the whole area was blown the fuck out with that spraycan art. http://www.juxtaposition.org/home.html Walker Art Center-most impressive museum I've seen A bunch of snooty faggots work there and by that I do mean men that fuck men that have serious attitude problems. It worth checking out but leave before your brick a faggot in the face. http://www.walkerart.org/ 612.375.7600 1750 Hennepin First Avenue- Music venue-danceCulb-concerts, Cool history http://www.first-avenue.com 701 First Avenue North Minneapolis, MN 55403-1327 612-332-1775 Well that should get you going, basiclly people are open there..talk..ask questions, when ever I was looking for something, I meet someone that knew whats up and they helped out. Don't forget after you drink too much you owe me 2 more bells in your belly.. after all I just typed this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Uhm. Also: Check out the Minneapolis Institute of Arts The fucking exhibits tend to be awesome. Liquor Lyle's Hennepin Ave, a block south of Franklin; always hopping, and the happy hour is great. Strong drinks, cheap bar food. Girls. Red Dragon Lyndale Ave & 23rd, next to Hum's Liquor. Can't miss Hum's. Strongest drinks in Minnesota. Good price for the amount of liquor you're getting in your drink. Mortimer's/Gringo's Lyndale Ave & Franklin Ave, practically kitty corner from Red Dragon. These share the same building, both are good respectively. I usually hit Gringo's though, the beer is obscenely cheap. Don't forget to get a bottle of Grain Belt Premium. It's like...two bucks. The PBR is dirt cheap as well, if you're hipster status. Nomad World Pub Cedar Ave (West Bank), just two or more blocks north of Triple Rock. They've got all sorts of world brews on tap, and if you're a soccer head, they're always playing games. Music some nights as well. Dinkytowner East Bank area. This is a basement bar in Dinkytown - practically the area where a lot of the campus kids and grads reside. A lot of residencies, apartments, duplexes, and....bars. This place in particular is a good spot. Pool is free during happy hour, and there are a few tables available. Pints are in the range of $4, and the drinks are strong. Music is frequent, often there are hip-hop nights (with Rhymesayers affiliated DJs and artists) and electronic. I've had plenty of inebriated nights at this spot. Laid back, diverse crowd. Matt's Bar Cedar Ave & 35th, Midtown. Get the Juicy Lucy. And while you wait, grab a pint at the bar. It's a divish spot, but the Juicy Lucy is well worth it. Chatterbox Pub 26th Ave South & 35th, Midtown. Different place, great gourment food. A diverse young adult crowd. They brew some of their own beer, and you can play boardgames or even Atari and Nintendo on one of the two televisions made available for nostalgic gaming. Fun place. Uptown is pretty cool. It's very 'trendy' and 'hip', so you'll find most, if not all of the high-maintenance broads floating around here. And prepare to pay close to top dollar for drinks (it's more downtown). But if you're down for a variety of food, check out the area. As Deterrent mentioned Lyndale. Stay focused on the Lydale-Lake area (lovingly called Lyn-Lake by us here) and Hennepin-Lake area. It's head shop city, too. Clown Glass has a store on Hennepin. Another hot strip for food, specifically ethnic is just a few blocks over on Nicollet Ave, dubbed "Eat Street". Pretty much the whole stretch from E Lake Street across 94 into downtown is filled with all kinds of places, and you probably won't break the bank too hard. Good call on 89.3 'The Current'. If you're in town during the weekend, turn the dial to 90.3, KFAI. Rhymesayers Radio (formerly known as '2 The Breaka Dawn' hosted by Abilities or K-Salaam) runs from 9PM-11PM. SUPPORT COMMUNITY RADIO. If you're a news junky, we also have MPR and NPR. One of the frequencies is 91.1. And, oh yeah. Do you like baseball? Good. If you get the chance, go check a Twins game. Ask for a 'cheap seat' ticket. They are $6. Watch the game, have fun, get drunk. That's all I can think of for now. I'm too focused on this bag of Minnesota green I have to smoke.

Qawee Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 the dinkytowner is a nice spot when they do the hip hop thing. there is a spot a block down from the dinkytowner called the library which is basically a sports bar. they have $2 heinekens and $1 domestic bottles on thursday nights. it all really depends on what you want to do. i fucks with the midtown building a little, because the asian resturaunt on the first floor has a 2 for 1 happy hour when they decide to stay open. you can to go bars outside of hennepin or ramsey county and smoke usually. if you're trying to cop gear i can point you in the direction of a spot or two.

I'd love to come, I'll make some grilled asparagus, and bring great beer. Oh on the MN tip here is some much needed info. THIS IS A MUST SEE period: Nye's Bar- this is a half to see seriously, but go half in the bag it must be seen while you are drunk as fuck. Voted BEST BAR IN AMERICA by ESQUIRE Its an incredable shit hole straight out of the posions depths of David Lynch's wet- dreams. There is two rooms, one, the Polonaise room with piano bar, dancing, and Polish and American food, their prime rib is worth screwing a fat girl for. The piano bar is maned by 102 yr old man and women, they play sing and take request and it's great. And the other bar, you can also dance to the sounds of Ruth Adams and the "world’s most dangerous polka band." Since 1967, Ruth Adams and the band have inspired people to hit the dance floor and polka. In fact, the band was voted one of the top 5 house bands by BillBoard Magazine. Ruth is excellent, she is quite literally about to die on stage. It's been there since 1949, and hasn't changed during that time. Nye's Polonaise http://www.nyespolonaise.com/entertainment.html 112 E Hennepin Avenue Here is what esquire has to say: http://www.esquire.com/features/ESQ1006BESTBARS_147 Of Ferris Bueller's recomedation I went to the following Liquor Lyle's They have mad deals when it comes to happy hour. Happy hour daily from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and from 9 p.m.-11 p.m. when it serves 2 for 1 drinks -- for all drinks. 2021 Hennepin Ave Minneapolis, MN 55405-2742 +1 612 870 8183 Red Dragon The place is clean and plays the top 40 R&B and fake hiphop. Lots of gals thou. Seriously these drinks will end your night. Have one and move on. Have 2 and try to vomit before going else where. they are strong for really real. 2116 Lyndale Ave S Lyndale Ave & 23rd, next to Hum's Liquor. Can't miss Hum's. Strongest drinks in Minnesota. Good price for the amount of liquor you're getting in your drink. There is also a masiive german bar, I forget it's name but great beer, girls dressed in lederhosen walking about with free snuff boards. It's down the street from this strip club (forget the name of that too)but there is gambling up front and nude lap dances given in the bathroom stals you poop in!

Lot's of freights, plenty of teh graffz to flick, really!, and people are just nicer there. Lot's of diversity too!

Ferris Bueller Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 The Mall of America is in Bloomington, a very large suburb south of the city. It is in the metro, though. And that place can go to hell. And deterrent, I have no idea what the German bar is. There is a restaraunt called "The Black Forest Inn" and that is kind of a Bavarian style joint. But last time I've seen it, there were no strip bars in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferris Bueller Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Zumiez has the best selection of shoes in all of the MOA. Palmer's is straight hood. There usually tends to be Somalian thugs hanging outside, askin' who you wit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
