Yes, we're shocked too that Bob got lucky in a funeral home & Eddy on a pool table ! Try to convince them to tell you the whole story over a Sparkling Pony, a fruity concoction made w/ Absolut Citron.

Kahlil Avani

I really like this place, good dj's & cheap food, but the ladies room sucks! Use the stall in the unisex (men's) restroom ! :-)

Chris Duhaime

We have the pleasure in Minneapolis of having a multitude of gay bars to choose from, but if you're looking for one that is the most versatile and is welcome to diverse crowds , this is the bar !

Ryan Adams

Like the Saloon, take the fun outside of the bar on occasion by joining the Lake Calhoun Boys for events all around town . Bowling year round, volleyball , frisbee , blading, benefits, networking, etc!

Steven Halsey

Go on Mondays nights for Hard Mondays . Great music and all three Monday night bartenders serve amazing drinks.

Progressive Wednesdays baby. $1 you call its 10-11, $2 11-midnight, you get the idea. They have blackout sauce in their drinks.

Despite being a shitty venue, it does have a comfortable atmosphere that most of the other gay bars and clubs in the area are lacking (save the 19 Bar ).
