I saw a lot of martinis and cocktails coming out of the bar. There are waitresses, but it looked like just 1 bartender. She was BUSY! Waitresses were just standing there while the 1 'tender was working her ass off. We sat at the bar and barely got service because she was so busy. I of course don't know how the place works, but it seems like someone could have helped her. We only stayed for 1 beer and left because we couldn't get any of the bartender's time. It would be a cool place to hang if maybe we sat at a table. (I felt out of place being in my Packer's gear.) I see they do live jazz music. That might be worth going back for someday.

Nicolas David from the Voice has played here numerous times...and this tavern consistently draws acts from the Twin Cities. The best part of the whole deal is that I have never been charged a cover to get in and see good music. Sometimes, during shows, they serve free beer in the back from a keg...most likely PBR. Free music, and free beer? Is this heaven? Looking around the bar, enjoy the years and years of graffiti on the walls in the back of the bar. There are some really great artists in this town...and some fancy poets. The bathrooms are so full of markered writing, you could stand in there for a number of minutes just to take it in. I was impressed with the selection of crappy and not-so-crappy beer, and the service was great. The sound from the stage was great, and there was a little area where people would dance. I found the people watching here to be second to none...such an eclectic mix of society in here.

This night always consists of visiting Del's. My husband and I decided to take this same trip, but in the summer. This way I can experience the same places the guys go. When we get to LC, we went to Del's even before our hotel. It's a nice dive-bar-esque place. It's a bit dim, but that's what bars are supposed to be, right? I like the circular layout of the place. My husband bought a shirt. We didn't stay incredibly long, but long enough for a couple drinks. Bartender was great. Thanks for letting me finally see the place that is so important to so many people I love.

Since we had almost an hour to kill, we decided to take a little walk, and in so doing discovered The Helm. What a find! Saturday morning is Kartoon Klub: a continuous stream of classic Warner Brothers (and only Warner Brothers) cartoons unspool for your enjoyment. Bite it, Hanna Barbara! Feeling a bit peckish while enjoying The Complete Works of Chuck Jones? Check out the progressively priced Bloody Marys (tasty, strong and starting at $0.75 each) and the fresh, hot breakfast pizza ($2/slice or $10/pie). Let your friendly bartender take care of all the details. We're probably 86'd from that other place for failing to return to claim our table. Who cares? Kartoon Klub rules!

The best part is that even though its on 3rd Street you don't get a lot of rowdy college students!!! The people tend to be anywhere from late 20s to 30s, 40s and so on!

The bartender was not friendly at all and didn't say a single word to us except for the drink price. The service was fine.

They don't service Miller or Budweiser products and are proud of it. The place is a weird twist between a 1950's bar and a hipster kinda spot. The booths are cool and are good for a date night. I probably wouldn't go back but it was an experience.
