The 1029 Bar
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Plenty of dive bars offer food — but how many can boast that they offer one of the best lobster rolls in the country? Only The 1029 Bar, as far as we know. This friendly neighborhood bar is located on the Northeast side of town, and has partnered with local favorite Smack Shack to offer up a full menu of seafood-ish goodness like the aforementioned roll, shrimp or sausage po' boys, and lobster mac & cheese. Of course, the booze is arguably more important, and it's cheap, plentiful, and is complimented by karaoke and legal gambling in the form of pull tabs, bingo, and a chance wheel, proceeds from which go to charity. Added bonus: the greatest mural of two squirrels in a PBR canoe in the history of mankind.
