Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Congrats on having a MSPBJ subscription, and thanks for sharing the content with us plebes.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Does it say why they're closing a top performing location? That's not normally how you fix struggling.The article states that they've been struggling nationally, and that this location was one of their top performing locations. So it has nothing to do with Crystal Court.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
The chain just filed for bankruptcy today, so it's pretty bad.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Ouch. But that's a proven good location for a fast casual restaurant, so hopefully another one moves in sooner rather than later.
Maybe Noodles and Company? It remains super weird to me that they have Stadium Village and Old St. Anthony locations, but there isn't one downtown.

I love Noodles! I would go there oh too often.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Anyone know what they are doing as Washington & N 2nd (on the northwest side across 2nd from Sex World)? There was construction happening when I went by today.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
I think Grant posting something about it somewhere. I think there's a restaurant going in. Lemme see if I can dig it up.
EDIT: Here's an article. I thought there were plans somewhere, too, though..

Isn't that building being converted into a restaurant? Same guys who did Red Cow I believe.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Cool. Thanks.
Also walked down 5th Street, where the space that had been Foreign Legion now has street-facing windows (might have helped it stay alive), where they appeared to be interviewing for the new Blue Plate restaurant (with a rather generic name I've forgotten - Market??) that will replace Brasserie Central and where there is a whole lot of vacant but lit street-level retail space.

Naf Naf Grill City Center is on the verge of opening. Naf Naf employees were milling around this morning and it looked completely built. I didn't see any signage and the windows are still covered.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Wow, they were really sneaky about that. Never noticed any construction going on in there.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Yeah, I had thought that they scrapped the City Center location in favor of the Stadium Village one when their best customer moved to Fargo.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Is it street level or did they insulate themselves from the rifraf on the streets?
Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Rock Bottom Brewery's address is 825 Hennepin Ave S. Not 800 LaSalle. So maybe not a rebranding.Gordon Biersch and Rock Bottom have the same parent company (and they also own Old Chicago) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CraftWork ... _Breweries
If I had to guess based on the available information, our Rock Bottom is being re-branded as a Gordon Biersch. That or someone at corporate put the wrong name on the Craigslist posting.
