Cheap enough for the rock n' roll miscreants that create the ever-changing soundtrack of late Minneapolis nights. The CC Club opens early every day and serves cheap pitchers of beer alongside proper good bar food.

Come for the Juicy Lucy, stay for the cheap beer and comfortable atmosphere.

Whiskey drinks like water inside this Northeast fixture. Note the ancient cash register and the curious booth, a relic from the olden times when phones came attached to walls. Buy a couple of pull tabs to while away the minutes while waiting for one of those famous Dago sandwiches.

It's the oldest operating neighborhood gay bar in Minneapolis and it still fits like a favorite old pair of Levis. With great pool tables, old school video games and cheap beverages, it's hard not to love this bar.

Don't come with a drink adgenda, just pick a greenie or pinkie. It's powerful and tastes like it's possibly powdered Jell-O mix and vodka, but the real recipe is a secret. The entire room is dominated by a giant bar just as the drinking gods intended.

The gin and tonics here are powerful and improbably cheap. The beer selection is full of local and national favorites for just a couple of bucks. Note the bras and shot-up cop car door.
