Description

After a 16-year run in their old location on 2nd Avenue, Kieran's relocation into Block E has proven to be a boon for the venerable downtown Minneapolis Irish pub. Live Celtic music, classic yet lively decor and a wide selection of affordable yet creative menu items make it a good destination for gameday, happy hour and dining-out crowds alike.

While downtown Minneapolis's least-loved retail center might seem a strange place for a warm and friendly Irish pub, everything falls into place once you make your way inside. It's filled... More »
2010 | BEST SLAM POETRY EVENT

The slam poetry scene too often comes to mind laden with stereotypes, fostered by bad slam scenes around the country, where partisan politics or recounting traumatic personal experiences trump the earnest creation of good art. While it would be inaccurate to claim the Twin Cities scene sees none of this hackery, it is accurate to say that we have one of the best scenes in the country--witness St. Paul's win this year at the world championships and the many poets who have recently...
