Moved to MN. Interesting observations

What's not to like? Sure, they have some douchebags, name a place that doesn't. Great beer, great food, pro sports, foxy pale ladies, etc. The Twin Cities are running laps around everything Iowa has to offer except rednecks, sparkly jeans, fat chicks and stupid tattoos.
Some of my personal faves are: Edina Grill, Park Tavern, Gay 90's and the Smoked Salmon dip from France 44.

I always thought they were Scandinavian up there mainly they must be Dutch.
. I'll leave now.
Current Gay 90s? Or like five years ago or longer Gay 90s? Sadly a big difference. 100% agree on the rest of your comment as well.
Like, 5 years ago or longer. Think Kinky Friday from around 2014-15.
The Gay 90s used to be where the downtown crowd went after the bars closed. Is that still the case?
MPLS residents, this past summer we got into Owamni, by the Sioux Chef, named Top 50 restaurant by the NY Times. Opened in late July, we somehow got in the first week. Taste revolution, only uses ingredients available to native Americans prior to European intervention.
A month ago, a visit to YOUNG Joni, stunning "pizza" place. Get a reservation and end enjoy. The chef, who started with Pizzeria Lola and Hello Pies, in February opened Sooki & Mimi. Sookie & Mimi also made the NYT Top 50.
Got none of that in Iowa.

That's when it was fun. It's sadly not the gay bar it used to be...it's more of a 'gay themed' bar where every weekend it's overtaken by countless bachelorette parties. I don't know of many gay patrons that go there all that much anymore. Me and my friends haven't been there in years.
Not really sure. As I just stated in another post...it's more of a gay themed bar now and that area is sadly a pretty unsafe place on weekends after the bars close.
We went to Owamni last week...good stuff. Young Joni is great but I personally prefer Lola. The ones we tell people to go to besides the ones you mentioned are Revival, Snack Bar, Spoon and Stable, Step Chld, Bar LaGrassa, and Kinhdo.
Just the football team. That's why they are the Vikings! (knee slap)I always thought they were Scandinavian up there mainly they must be Dutch.
All of this Mpls bar talk is making me nostalgic for 1980s and 1990s when I was young and on earth for the first time. Makes me miss old downtown. The old Loon Cafe was the cool after work place for downtown. Places come and go but the Loon is still there.
I miss Andy’s Tap in Bloomington. Used to go there with my dad for burgers.
I had a buddy that sold beer at the Vikings games. He knew the team went the Loon Cafe VIP room upstairs on Sundays after home games. Down in the main bar, there would be a bunch of females waiting to get called upstairs to party with the NFL guys. Of course not all girls would get called up and my buddy was about the only male in the place on Sunday nights, so took advantage of the opportunity.
If you ain't Dutch, you ain't much...I always thought they were Scandinavian up there mainly they must be Dutch.
