(Downtown, Minneapolis, MN)
Scooter’s 1615th bar, first visited in 2023.
Since I now had a second wind, I decided to Uber over to a small cluster of bars I enjoy downtown. I considered Kieran’s Irish Pub since I hadn’t been to the “new” location yet but it was already closed, and debated Gluek’s next, but ultimately chose Lyon’s Pub since it was one I had not been to yet.
This was a lovely English-style pub. The bartender was very friendly, and steered me toward the Lyon’s Lager (brewed for this bar by Schell’s Brewery) as opposed to one of the traditional more commonplace beers I was about to order instead.
On advice of the bartender, after I was finished here I walked around to the block behind the building to see the Bob Dylan mural.
And since that in turn put me in the right direction to do so, I decided to revisit two other bars that I had visited the first time I came to Minneapolis in August 2006. The first, Brass Rail, was already closed quite a few hours ahead of its posted closing time. No worries, though, I could see the lights were on at Loon Cafe so headed there next. Door locked! Also a couple hours ahead of closing time. It was thunderstorming by this point so that possibly killed business, but still. This ruined my mood and I decided to stop wasting time walking around looking for something open and went ahead and got an Uber back to the hotel to call it a night.
