The Saloon

Informazioni su questo posto The Saloon

The Saloon has been on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis long enough to be considered an institution alongside the Gay 90's — a substantial gay bar with a dance floor, regular DJ programming, and the kind of weekly themed events calendar that maintains a loyal clientele through the full cycle of Minneapolis's social calendar. The bar occupies a larger footprint than the neighbourhood bar category, with a proper dance floor and DJ booth that make it a nightlife destination on Fridays and Saturdays rather than simply a place for drinks. The programming runs the standard gay bar format: themed nights, bear nights, underwear events, and the variety of content that keeps regulars returning across different nights of the week. The Hennepin Avenue location puts it in the core of downtown Minneapolis, accessible from both the light rail network and the Gay 90's complex a few blocks north. The Saloon serves the segment of the Minneapolis gay community that wants a dance floor experience without the full theatrical production of the Gay 90's cabaret complex.
