Drinks & Nightlife
A dive bar with free live music every night. Music varies: singer-songwriters, punk bands, bluegrass, and everything in between. A large patio with picnic tables allows an escape if the music is not for you. Cheap drinks & dark atmosphere. Can be loud. Can be greasy. But always a good time.

A secret speakeasy located in the heart of Uptown. To get there, go down the alleyway and you'll discover a door with a small sign next to it. Knock and show an ID to get in. I'd suggest nicer attire, as it is a little bit swanky. Some nights you'll find live jazz. The cocktails are amazing, but a little pricey. Snacks include mussels & fancy pub burgers. There's also a secret room if you can find it! On weekends the line to get in can be long. so be prepared to wait or walk down to one of Uptown's other fine offerings like Muddy Waters.

This bar & music venue is a local favorite. It's a classic Eagles Club with 3 or 4 separate music venue rooms within. See a punk show, a metal show, and a square dance all at the same time. Local older crowd spends their afternoons here, but it gets pretty lively on a weekend night. Also great Karaoke in the main bar a few nights a week!
Cheap drinks.

Entertainment & Activities
$5 Movies on Tuesdays! This is our favorite little theater, located on St Anthony Main, a cobblestone street just across the river. Grab a drink at the attached Pracna tavern (Minneapolis' oldest active bar) and carry it into the movie. Dinner down the hall at Aster is also a great option.
