Editorial Review for The Lodge Bar – by Jennifer Blaise

In Short
If it wasn't for the tiny wooden sign outside, patrons might miss the Lodge Bar. But inside, oak beams and A-frame facades help the massive chalet hold several bar stools, couches and a huge stage complete with a woodsy setting. Old snowshoes and hunting posters adorn the walls. Pure Minnesota ambience provides a perfect rustic backdrop for local and visiting bands. While the weeknight scene can be slow, the place is packed for weekend performances.

We had a huge group of friends in town for New Years. They really wanted to go downtown for the night. We decided to buy advance tickets for The Lodge. When we got there they told us the bar was full. We repeatedly explained that we had already paid to get in, but they just told us that they had reached capacity and wouldn't be letting anyone else in. Only after half an hour of talking to the bouncer were we promised our money back. However, when we called the next day, they said no refunds would be given. Not only did they ruin our New Years, but they also kept all of our money.
