Drinking for Preservation!

Head over to the other side of the river tomorrow night, and enjoy a pre-Thanksgiving pub crawl!

The Preservation Alliance of Minnesota tells us:


It’s time for our Historic Pub Crawl Series to return to Minneapolis! We’ve explored downtown and NE Minneapolis and now wanted to make sure that we hit up one of Minneapolis’ historic commercial corridors.
Historic Pub Crawl: Minneapolis (Lyn Lake)
Tuesday, November 26th
5:30-8:30pm
$10
The Lyn-Lake area, centered around the intersection of Lyndale and West Lake, is one of the city’s most distinctive neighborhoods. The core commercial district is one of the oldest in South Minneapolis, thanks in part to its strategic location along several early streetcar lines. Over time the neighborhood evolved from the blue collar industrial worker to a more bohemian community. Even today, the Lyn-Lake neighborhood has maintained a very diverse community for those who live, work, and play in the area, all the while balancing the historic character of the community.
We’re going to be visiting Moto-i, Herkimer Pub & Brewery, and Lyndale Tap House. At each of our drinking establishments we’ll be sharing some cool facts about the buildings and the neighborhood and we’ll also do a little trivia with prizes.
With all that in mind and a nice mix of historic drinking establishments to explore, we invite you to our Historic Pub Crawl: Lyn-Lake Neighborhood.
We hope you’ll join us!
