  1. Bar recommendations for offseason podcasting:

    Indeed Brewing Co. Taproom
    My favorite place to drink in NE. The brews are fantastic (Day Tripper is their fastball, but new choices are offered weekly) and the atmosphere is terrific. Thursday nights are quietest, but it doesn’t get too crowded to podcast all weekend.

    Dangerous Man Brewing Co.

    Also in NE. Not quite as cool as Indeed, but close. Great atmosphere, plenty of space to set up podcasting gear and a killer chocolate milk stout. Don’t know if they still have the Aye Aye IPA, but that’s amazing as well. (Both Indeed and Dangerous Man permit outside food, too!)

    Grumpy’s NE

    Nothing noteworthy, but my favorite bar in NE. They have a killer selection of craft beers on tap, the best juxebox in MPLS and a Ms. Pac-Man arcade! The interior is probably too crowded for podcasting, but the patio would be perfect.

    Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit
    Gasthof’s is a trip. You drink in the basement and it feels like a German beer hall. There’s tons of reeeeeally old German couples and some dudes in lederhosen playing accordions on stage. You won’t recognize ANY of the German-sounding beers on tap but they’re served in GIGANTIC mugs (or glass boots). Long wooden tables and benches for drinking really rounds out the atmosphere. To make things weirder, after midnight it turns into a Euro-rave type vibe and all the old couples are replaced with young people. Really strange place. Gets crazy around Oktoberfest. Bonnes would love it.

    Amsterdam Bar & Hall
    The 331’s sister bar in St. Paul. Great food!

    Nye’s Polonaise Room
    For a uniquely Midwestern experience.

    Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lounge

    For the opposite of a Midwestern experience (but seriously, this place rocks). Bonnes can’t drink beer, but he can drink a crazy cocktail out of a pineapple.
