Who Knew?
The Saloon has a very mix crowd of youngsters, hipsters and mature party-goers. I went to visit with my partner during his softball tournament on Memorial Weekend. Brad, in the front bar, was oh so cute and attentive. The Saloon has an urbane big city club feel without the attitude. The locals are very nice and friendly. A shout out to Ben if you are reading this.
Skip the front bar!
Was here on May 23rd and the place was busy. Front bartender was more concerned with chatting with friends and getting drinks for them than anything else, so skip him and go to ANY of the other ones that work for their $$. Younger crowd that had some attitude, but worth a visit (a short one) if you're taking a trip here. HUGE bar with lots of space! I heard there was a naked shower show on Sunday, but didn't get there!
Fun times for Happy Hour
Oh my gawd! If you haven't been to the Saloon lately for happy hour, you have to check it out. Wednesday's BANGO with Mother Pearl is a hoot and a half. Great drinks from the entertaining bartenders.
Totally over-rated
Try places on the other end of the block or the bolt/eagle.
A little of everything
I recently just lived in Minneapolis for one year, and really enjoyed The Saloon while I was living there. Minneapolis has a huge gay crowd and is very laid back in many ways. The Saloon has a great dance floor, video bar and back bar to talk and relax....basically three bars in one. It has some great music to dance to, still a little behind the coasts, but that was fine. Doc is one of the best bartenders in the country, bar-none! He is friendly and remembers anyones drink once he has heard it. The staff is friendly and has some great dancers. If your visiting the city, it is a must see especially on a Saturday night.
