The place for young folks...

This is where the younger crowd goes for the most part it's ok...The place gets full of annoying straight girls that spill their drinks on you I had to shoo some away.

What's not to like?

My friends and I loved the Saloon because it was close to work, had great drinks at fantastic prices, and was always full of cute guys. There seemed to be a place and a man for everyone, and we loved the fact that food was also served for those late-night munchies. It was certainly quieter on the 21+ nights, but that gave us some variety. The back patio and fireplace area was a god-send on the cold nights if you couldn't find a local boy to warm you up instead.

Hip and Fun...

Definitely my recommendation if you were to check out a gay bar in MSP. The crowd is young, friendly, and hot. The drinks were strong and decently-priced. Stay later and you get some hot shower scene on stage...

WATCH YOUR DRINKS

I WAS AT THE SALOON OVER PRIDE 2009 AND 5 PEOPLE HAD GHB PUT IN THEIR DRINKS.....2 OF THEM WERE STILL HANGIN ON TO THEIR DRINKS WHEN I HAPPENED.....THE PLACE ISN'T VERY SAFE, I HAVE HEARD MANY HORROR STORIES ABOUT LAX IN SECURITY AND TOO MUCH LAID BACK ATTITUDE. THE LOCALS SEEM TO GET CATERED TO FROM THEIR FAV BARTENDERS. TRUELY NOT A SAFE PLACE TO BE....HIT THE BOLT / EAGLE..MUCH FUNNER CROWD AND THE MEN ARE MUCH HOTTER....NYC OUT
