What People Are Saying About Gopher Bar

In Short
It doesn't get more offbeat than this: there's a framed Stars and Bars behind the bar, an old-fashioned cash register and a wall-mounted rotary phone. Not to mention the deer antlers strung with Christmas lights (even in June) and the photo of a long-graduated Gopher hockey team clad only in jockstraps. It's all about the Coney Island: dressed with chili, mustard, neon-orange grated cheese and chopped onions, and cradled in buns grilled to crunchy perfection.

The Gopher Bar is the kind of joint you love to go to but you don't take your friends there because they might not understand the lure of the place. It's an old dump with an extremely limited menu although they have added fish and chips and chicken fingers lately. Smoking is no longer an issue since its been outlawed. The conies and the fries are as good as you can find in this country. It's cash only so bring the bucks and enjoy a real trip.

Check your manners at the door, and leave the plastic at home. This bar is rustic and rude but serves the best coneys and the stiffest drinks this side of a Frat party. Evening menu turns into the Chili-dog nazi- We got dogs and chips!! Good thing they are fantastic. This is the home of the coldest beer and the hottest bartenders (the ladies I mean) You are liable to see the owners johnson at least once per visit if he is off duty. If you are P.C. this is probably not the place for you. If you like to do multiple shots and wash them down with more shots your home free.

Where else can you find dusty severed animal heads and tacky christmas lights all year round. The Gopher bar. Home of the best chilli dogs that Minnesota has to offer. Unfortunately that is all they offer. Still it is worth the visit. This place can best be described as a joint or a dive. It is small and smoky and everything is well worn.
