City PagesJuly 8, 2013Yes, we're shocked too that Bob got lucky in a funeral home & Eddy on a pool table! Try to convince them to tell you the whole story over a Sparkling Pony, a fruity concoction made w/ Absolut Citron.

Kahlil AvaniNovember 18, 2013I really like this place, good dj's & cheap food, but the ladies room sucks! Use the stall in the unisex (men's) restroom! :-)
We have the pleasure in Minneapolis of having a multitude of gay bars to choose from, but if you're looking for one that is the most versatile and is welcome to diverse crowds, this is the bar!
Like the Saloon, take the fun outside of the bar on occasion by joining the Lake Calhoun Boys for events all around town. Bowling year round, volleyball, frisbee, blading, benefits, networking, etc!
Go on Mondays nights for Hard Mondays. Great music and all three Monday night bartenders serve amazing drinks.
Nivriti JaieFebruary 25, 2015The only place that's open after 2 am. Of course you can't buy any more alcohol but you can stay and dance around
Ai EntoncesFebruary 9, 2015Some of the Bar tenders are rude , is one of my favorite place to hangout with friends , longer we choose the right frenly bar thender- Best Dance Night : Hard Mondays - Goth /Industrial night. Featuring DJ Noise, Nitrogen, DV8,Spleen.
Nathan LukeApril 29, 2014It's definitely the best gay bar in town! Go and get your drinks from Greg in the disco, you won't be disappointed!
This is a friendly Hello from your door staff at the front door! I want to say thank you to everyone for making the saloon the place to be! Be safe out there and can't wait to see you all soon!- Come every Friday except the last if the month, and experience one of Minneapolis' best gay DJ's Naughty Boy! This man is sooo talented!!!
Co-Best Bar in Mpls! Great drinks, bartenders and try the tots! Brads bar is the best!
Jake ArtzMay 30, 2010Go to dannys bar (back bar most nights). He is the best bartender... By far. Don't know what u want? Ask for a suggestion. Don't forget to say a Kesha quote or do a lady gaga dance too!
Lake Calhoun BoysAugust 3, 2011The Saloon is a wonderful sponsor of events, groups and organizations in the community. Thank you for your sponsorship of the Lake Calhoun Boys, for more info on our group visit our link. Read more
Kyle MaguireFebruary 25, 2013Gotta love The Saloon! Make sure to wish the door guys a good night when you leave. Those 2 are the sweetest guys you'll ever meet!
Join the Movie Bears for their monthly beer bust, the 2nd Saturday of each month. $7 for all the tap beer or soda you can drink 8pm to 11pm.
One of our favorite places to dance dance dance. Heard they are getting some new sound and lights very soon! See Brad the bartender in the back Fire Bar and tell him SCENE sent ya!
Coat check is seasonal, and ended this weekend. Bummer... it's nice to unload my purse so I can dance. Glad for it anyway in the winter!
Always awesome. Fireplace in the back is nice and cozy.- Love the saloon, but want something to do outside of it too? Check out the Lake Calhoun Boys on Facebook - Events and Activities all year round for GLBT and allied guys and gals.
Jeffrey ChaneyApril 6, 2010Out of the 90's , Galdius, Townhouse, Innuendo, Camp, tickles, lush, Eagle, Bolt Underground, By far I still feel right at home when I go to the Saloon as my choice bar. Read more
Great bar Danny in the back bar is the best in the Twin Cities hands down
The dance music is always 6 months behind & their dancers are way too thin. However, the drinks are fantastic & the bartenders are adorkable.
Go to Danny in the Back bar for your drinks. Great Smile and amazing cocktails.
go here on Weds night cause its cheap night! no cover and $2 dollar rum and cokes and domestic beers, $3 dollar long islands. also they have male dancers in a shower!- Brad is the best bartender ever!!!! Located in the back bar.
Ask a bartender to make you his favorite drink! If he says "Whiskey-Water" FIND A NEW BARTENDER.- To the guy that walked passed me saying "ish," my thoughts exactly. You let your inner beauty show, and I feel bad for you.
Progressive Wednesdays baby. $1 you call its 10-11, $2 11-midnight, you get the idea. They have blackout sauce in their drinks.
- Get an Iron Butterfly from Reggie at the front bar. Be prepared!
Nathan BriscoeSeptember 4, 2011Lots of gays, naked boys in showers, but good food. Oh...straight....love this place
enjoy bango/ bingo on a wendesday from 530-830 but it may be a little raunchy for those prudes out there
DJ Tony D, Sheik, Naughty Boyy, Thomas Ryan are amazing
Go see Danny in the sports bar for all your drinks, he's a total sweetheart!
For a couple more bucks after 11 I rather get stronger premium drinks instead of that weak rail shit at Lush on Wednesdays!
They don't actually show "A-List: New York" on Monday nights and the service is generally pretty sub-par. Stick to Thurs.-Sat. nights.
