“The first annual Groundhog Day Bash at Dusty’s was a wonderful time. The power and beauty of the Dago Sandwich was able to bring people from all corners of the Twin Cities to Dusty’s Bar to bask in the glow of Italian sausage goodness. How good is the Dago? I just realized it this morning (after shaking the Grain Belt cobwebs from my brain) that not a single person took a picture of their Dago sandwich. Everyone had a love at first sight, I need you in my mouth moment as soon as the Dago was placed in front of them. (wait…did I really just type that last sentence?) So what was the effect of the Dago on near strangers on a chilly night in northeast Minneapolis?”

Stuff about Minneapolis on our Groundhog Day Bash

It was a lot of fun meeting Paul, his wife, Ryan and Mr. Norton (everyone else I’d already met, and but it was fun seeing them as well.)

stuffaboutminneapolis:

edkohler:

As of tonight, I’ve been to every bar but one along Marshall Ave NE. Starting on the Northern end of Marshall:

  1. Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lounge & Tiki Bar
  2. Tony Jaro’s River Garden
  3. Gabby’s Saloon & Eatery
  4. Dusty’s Bar
  5. 1029 Bar
  6. NE Yacht Club
  7. Elsie’s

He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m saving myself for a special night at Dusty’s with Stuff About Minneapolis’ Paul Merrill so I can learn how to eat Dago’s until they pop out of my ears.

YES! This will happen.

I’m the Mayor of Dusty’s on Foursquare, when this goes down, please let me know.

I live right down the street from this, it’s too bad that they tore it down, I would’ve much rather had another old brewery in the neighborhood than Gabby’s and a box factory. Although the park is nice, I wonder if the Sample Room was part of the original brewery property? stuffaboutminneapolis: Gluek’s Brewery, Minneapolis (1950’s?) by Me From 1857-1964 the Gluek brewery sat on the banks of the Mississippi in the area of 20th and Marshall streets northeast. The brewery was torn down in 1966 after the company was sold to the G. Heileman Brewing Company of La Crosse Wisconsin just two years before. Currently on the old brewery site would be Gabby’s Saloon and Gluek Riverside Park on the left hand side of this picture, and a large industrial warehouse for the Packaging Corporation of America takes up the brewery space on the right hand side of the picture. But fear not, the folks at the Cold Spring Brewery in 1997 bought the Gluek’s brand, and make it today for your enjoyment.

Twin City Taxi-Cab Company, Minneapolis (1911) I would’ve loved a horse cab option last Saturday night. There was a group of 6 of us that left First Ave. around 1:30 trying to hail and cab and found it next to impossible. Of course I was dressed as an Inglorious Basterd, my girlfriend as a very hot Medusa,  and our friends were dressed as afro-clad disco-freaks, star trek crew members, and various other things. But then again, it was Halloween. After trying to hail cabs for about half an hour, they were all full, and then being rejected by a Lincoln Town Car service because we had one too many, we decided to huff it down Hennepin since we only needed to make it back to Nordeast and Shuga Records (where we had started that night). About 5 minutes into our walk Adam (from Shuga) and Nena started asking random cars driving down Hennepin to give a ride back to the record shop. They found some guy in a Dodge Durango that was willing to give us a ride, for the small compensatory fee of $40. He already had a few people in the Durango, so after we managed to pack 10 people inside he gave us a ride across the river. Like I said, a horse cab option would’ve been greatly welcomed last Saturday night, and it probably would’ve been cheaper too. (via stuffaboutminneapolis)
