Old fashioned neighborhood pool hang out!

The 19 is a dump. It's old, stinky, and just not nice. The regulars are a funky mix, most everyone is nice, even the way overly loud lesbians usually dominating the pool tables. But, as long as my darling pal Nate, is serving me my Coronas, all is well. The 19 has the smokiest smoking area of any bar I visit. I am not a smoker but, I do check out all areas to see who is there, ;-) . I'll always go back to the 19 as long as Nate is there!

watch out!!!!!!

Be careful going to this bar, a lot of people things get stolen, and if you decide to call the police for help the bar kicks you the good customer out! I told the manager weeks ago and he said come get him instead of taking matters in my own hands and what happens i do what he says and im kicked out for life!!!!!!! You know what fuck the 19 and their bull shit... I would think that they would have more respect for good returning customers like me..... but evidently not...... their more worried about their reputation!!!! and to the cost of their customers!

Enter at your own risk!

This place is real sketchy, it reeks like a sewer backed up and never fixed it, staff is ok, this is where the neighborhood gay people hang out ONLY, as a typical Minnesotan.. They don't like "outsiders". It's in a real ruff area, so possibility you might get jumped, or mugged, etc.. Not recommended for travelers or wealthy gays.
