Peaking the northern end of downtown Minneapolis, Lee’s Liquor Lounge is known for its nightly live music and its old-school atmosphere (can you name that many places that offer swing and rock-a-billy music as often as Lee’s does? Doubtful). Lee’s Liquor Lounge really is one of those joints that is all about the music, as they say. I mean come on, they have swing dancing lessons every Wednesday night! Lee’s has been around for a while (since 1977), but it’s held up pretty great. It’s a true “dive bar” (and I don’t mean that in a bad way by any means); it gets populated by a wide variety of Twin Cities folks from guys sporting five-inch pompadours to a group of punks to your garden-variety bar-going youth. You can find some decent enough happy hour specials (e.g. $3 domestics, $3.50 rails till 8 PM daily) and bar food (burgers, pizza), so it’s not too hard on the bank account. The only thing to keep in mind if you want to go here is that it is a cash-only bar, so plan accordingly.

One of my favorite venues to see bands. So many cool acts come through here. But, there are never drink special during shows which kind of sucks, cause ther beer is really expensive. But, don't let that stop you, cause like I said, awesome place for shows. One of the best!

Great bartenders, Great music, Nice place to dance the night away, Some top notch rockabilly acts swing through here. never had a bad time. Sure drinks are a little spendy, but look around, the place is "the cleanest honky tonk in the world"

To peanut butter & jelly down there- get a brain dude! Anyone in their right mind wouldn't have given six $1 BILLS for a $4.50 tab if they were expecting change. I just happened to read your comment & had to add my own common sense comment for you in case you come back to this site, or go anywhere else where they make you do math! Seriously, what were you thinking? And, what you never tip or what?

To PB & J, this other guy is right. I've worked in the service industry for a few years and if you give someone $6 in ones for something that cost $4.50, they will assume the remaining money is for a tip - he wasn't trying to scam you. Just do your math before you hand over your money next time. Also, it's only $1.50 - you weren't exactly over-tipping him, so just settle down. Think about all the young drunk idiots those old guys have to deal with and you'll realize it's $1.50 well spent.

To Peter, Bjorn and John, Why did you give hime Six in ones?!?! Obviously he would keep the tip, knowing you are paying over, since you are giving him more than your tab!!!
