What People Are Saying About 19 Bar

Citysearch

In Short – The place, in the heart of the gay district of Loring Park, once was known as a pick-up bar for young hustlers and their fans. Today, young professionals and cute college boys and girls enjoy the bar's quaint charm, friendly atmosphere and strong beer. The 19 also serves lower-alcohol wine coolers, root beer and hard liquor. The place is also known for its tournament-class pool tables, electronic dartboards and a diverse jukebox.

Great local hang out, Gay but Straight Friendly

by THE CUSTOMER at Citysearch

Very nice friendly crowd. Still 75 cent pool after many years. Some Bartenders need to loose their "tude" and just do their job....and more quickly...better tips come with better and faster service. NOT better tips get better service. We are the customers who collectively pay their rent and that should be remembered. Staff seems overwhelmed when it is busy....takes forever to get a drink....Bartenders are falling over each other at ONE long line for drinks. If you have two bartenders why not have two drink lines on opposite sides of the bar????

Also big lack of Security.....too many occasions of coats, bags, pool sticks, etc. being stolen...How about a coat check and/or a door person on busy nights???

  • Pros: Cheap Pitchers, Good Juke Box
  • Cons: Service and Security

Excellent Hang Out

by sirc808 at Citysearch

The 19 bar is a great place to have a pitcher of beer and just hang out with friends. No drama, no creepy people, just a fun place to drink, socialize and play darts or pool. The place does get a little crowded on the weekends but usually starts to clear out by 11pm-midnight. I highly recommend checking it out!

  • Pros: Cheap beer, darts, pool, no drama
  • Cons: not a lot of parking, sometimes a little crowded

a damn good gay bar!

by veganfeministsunite at Citysearch

i love the 19. it's a great place to meet after work and drink beer. there are often ladies there, always more men but i still feel comfortable. the only bad thing i have experienced is that we always seem to get served slower than the men. that's messed up. but also why i will be going to PI for happy hour now. however, when in the area, the 19 is the best!

  • Pros: low key gay bar
  • Cons: serving men faster than women and bad juke box
